I was in need of a 3 wood for a tournament i was playing in, so i aksed the pro if he had one for me. And since he knows me, he gave me his 3 wood to borrow. Problem is it is in the X Flex, but he said i should be able to hit it. BEWARE THE SHAFT PLAYS WEAKER THAN A REGULAR X. However, it it the best shaft ive seen on any club. All day i hit the fairways with it and stuck one on the green on a 230 yard par 3. This shaft has a great feel, it leads to a high launch and it goes about 10 yards farther than my Aldila NV S flex thats on my three wood. If you have the money for this shaft, definently get it, this shaft will help you hit every shot where you want it to go.

I don't know what VS Proto "By You" you are talking about, but the one made my Aldila IS NOT a high launch shaft, it is a mid-low launch shaft

I wasn't trying to say that this shaft is a high launch shaft, i was just saying that i personally was hitting the ball at a nice high launch angle, which led to more distance. This is just a flat out great shaft that beats all the other shafts in every category.

Just because a shaft works well for you does not mean you should be recommending that shaft as the shaft to use for everyone else. It's perfectly fine to say you like a shaft, but a shaft that is great for you might be just plain horrible for me and 10 other players reading your comments.

I just purchased the Aldila Proto VS 60 in regular flex for my Hi-Bore. The stiff flex Fujikara in the hi-bore currently has been giving me fits. I guess I just don't have the juice for a stiff shaft.

    • Day 29 (9 Dec 25) - PW dink and rolls as well as low flighted chips.  Dink and rolls - set up with club head toe down/heel up to promote low flight, plenty of roll out.  Low flighted pitches - club flat on the ground to get ball up a Rick more and check more.   No more than 10yds total distance - focus on getting the ball to finish near (within 10’ dia circle) the target “pin”…
    • Never play with him again, and make sure every time you see him (especially when he's with other people) bring it up as a joke. Everyone will laugh but him. If he wants to ruin his own reputation, let him. 
    • Only ever used ShipSticks and never had a problem. It's really nice because you can ship to anywhere not just courses.  No matter what you use, I take the extra care of the clubs and wrap them in something before putting them in your bag and into the shipping box.   
    • Practicing my putting after work. I put five balls on the carpet and a mug on the other side. Once I make 3 out of 5 I can stop. If I leave any short or they go to far and fall off the rug, I restart.  Focusing on speed and hitting my mark 3 inches in front of me. Trying to gain consistency and discipline in all aspects of my putting game.
