Anyone using the Grafalloy Red shaft?

[firstcut]

I'm thinking about moving to the Grafalloy Red Regular for my FT-i. I've heard it's stiffer than a normal regular but not quite as stiff as an "average" stiff shaft, has good torque resistance and will promote lower flight. All things I like.

Bueller?

Thanks!

If you're referring to the Prolaunch Red, I've had it in my Ping G10 fairway woods since November and I have a Cleveland 460 I put one in.

IMO, the shaft plays a bit stiffer than advertised and it keeps the ball down some.

I'm happy with it.

Thanks BD..

The more I read about it, the more I think it might be a little too light and stiff for me. I need something a little heavier that's better for 85-95 but keeps the ball low.

As an example, I really liked the Pro Launch blue, but it ballooned on me more often than not. I need that shaft but with a higher kick, low/mid trajectory option.

Check out the UST Proforce V2

The Prolaunch blue is their low kickpoint high trajectory shaft. The Prolaunch red is the exact opposite, you should try it.

I have the ProLaunch Red and I think it's one of my best purchases to date.

Thanks for the good replies everyone!

Both shafts look very good and got great reviews!

I went by the shop today and apparently the FT-i needs some special heating element to get the shaft out? WTF? So now I have to wait and see if I can send it in to Callaway for a re-shaft..

Give me some time to see if I can hit this new 3 wood I guess...

Thanks again!

i got one in my driver. its a prolaunch red stiff and its comparable to the aldilla VS Proto by you.... but cheaper!

i love it.

I'd advise against the Proforce shaft for what you need. The lower flying model is a bit clunky, I found.

I use the Graf ProLaunch Red in a G10 and it's the bees-knees.

I don't find the S flex any stiffer than other S flex shafts but maybe the R flex is firmer than it's counterparts...

I had it in my ping g10 and it did keep the ball alot lower

I had this shaft installed because my old shaft ballooned on me also. It lowered my ball flight at least 25-30% and I became alot more accurite with it. Hope this helps.

I have had the pro-launch red shaft in my last two drivers, a 983k and now it is in my 907 D2. I am pretty tall and have a steep swing path, so my ball flight is still pretty high. But I do love the feel of this shaft.
