The proforce V2...

[Laxplayer201092]

I think i am going with the V2, either the HMOI, or the reg, in stiff.

Now, i am still debating between this, and the Aldila VS proto By you".

Anyone have any suggestions on wich? good or bad experiences with either?

Swing is around 90-100 MPH, lookin for a mid to low, a little forgiveness, still some distance, etc, price is really not an issue.

Any recomendations?

I have a stiff 65g v2 in my hibore 8.5 and absolutely love it. THE most solid shaft I have ever hit in a driver by far.

The cliche answer would be, "Get fitted." But I guess you're just trying to fish out information so why not.

I have UST V2 Proforce 65g R installed in my driver (approx 95mph SS). They do produce low trajectory like they promised to. Here's the thing, if you're already low hitter I wouldn't suggest this shaft as you're going to sacrifice your ball carry hence your overall distance. The upside is that my shots become much more consistent using this shaft. I would say they've made me hit more fairways than before. I'm not sure about the HMOI because I haven't tried it although UST's online fitting recommended me either the V2 that I'm currently using now or the HMOI. I would guess that they're quite similar in characteristics. By the data provided from UST website, the HMOI 5060R has 3.8deg torque and the V2 6060R has 3.0deg torque. In other words HMOI will bend more in response to faster swing speed, which I think has something to do with feel. I guess it's good for someone with smooth swing tempo. Moreover, the HMOI would produce a bit higher trajectory compared to the V2. I can't comment much about the VS Proto. I only had the chance to try it like 3 times on demo day with Titleist 906F4 using VS Proto 80. One thing I do remember though that the VS Proto is solid that's for sure. I'm sure someone else could comment more than I do. Hope this info helps.

i play the vs proto shaft in my d2 driver. i like it so far. i am a high ball hitter so not sure this was the best choice. I probably should have went for a shaft that gives me a lower/boring trajectory.

Thank you fusion.

Being 15, not a whole lot of guys there take me sersiously, i asked the one employee for some advice, he said hed get right to me, and never came back. =( The extent of my testing was a stiff v2 in a titleist D2, and a reg V2 in a G5. The Stiff was a bit much, i had to really focus on loading it to get it goin, and i did notice a low ball flight, even in the 50 foot hitting cage. So i think i may go with the HMOI version, still unsure, as im looking for a medium ball flight that can still be knocked down.

Thanks, Brian.

rightfully so. A decent clubfitter will tell you all you need to know.
