After a run on the LaunchMonitor I've been told that I should go with a stiff shaft with a high kick point "ALDILA GOLF NV 65" to be exact. ( Only picked this club as selection was limited ) Does anyone know of or recomend other high kick point shafts from other manufacturers as I want to experiment further?

Hey - where did you go to with a Launch Monitor? Not places here! I've hit that shaft before, was very nice - I liked the high kickpoint. Don't know much else about shafts though!

I've tried four shafts in the last year and like the Aldila NV proto at 60 grams and X flex. It has a very high kick point, perhaps the highest I've ever used and it is mounted in an 8.5 driver (normally I perfer a 7.5, but have been trying 8.5 lately.) Getting the ball up is not an issue with my swing, and this shaft helps the top of the flight flatten out a little more so there is great penetration. I also like the new VooDoo but for some reason the Aldila fits me better.

Choosing a shaft is always an individual matter, but the launch monitor is not a bad place to get started. Then play whatever you get for a while and decide if you need to tweak with a different shaft or head.

      Day 39: did top golf for an hour with the family. It was fun but also not really like real golf at all. Also did some mirror work - working on the backswing stuff mostly.

      Day 4, 1/2/26.  Played 18 today;  didn't get a chance to warm up (had I known the range was closed, I'd have hit balls at home first).  Played okay, 92 with three balls in the water.  It was raining for more than half the round and I didn't quite appreciate before today just how much I benefit from roll on both drives and approach shots.  I did not adapt well to this change until about hole 15, which is something I have to figure out.

      Day 143 1-2 Arch wrist in downswing. Having a SLIGHT cup in the lead wrist at the top now. Only paused swings with some rehearsals before swinging at ball.  Used foam ball.

      Day 459 - 2026-01-02 Had two guys on GEARS Hybrid, so I hopped on afterward (I'm going to do this a lot more often now). So… I've signed myself up for another month of backswing work in two ways: A little more extension of the trail elbow (got into the upper 90s) Less pelvis turn (low 50s).
