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.

I have the Aldilla Proto VS "By You" 65x in my Nike Sumo 5000. I don't know if it is Aldilla's new shaft technology or Nike's new driver technology, but that is the longest driver I have ever hit.

What I play:
Titleist 905R 7.5* w/ Graphite Design YS-6+
Titleist 906F2 15* w/ Aldilla NVS 75s
Titleist 690mb (2-pw) w/ Dynamic Gold S300

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 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
