Is this a good low launching shaft? Any other suggestions that are affordable? Would it make a big difference (right now i play a UST Widebody shaft, relatively high lauch)? And if i paired it with my Dymo, would the ball spin rate decrease or stay the same?

And the big question, if i paired the dymo 9.5 with the prolaunch red shaft, what would be different than say, a dymo 8.5 with a stock shaft shaft?


Thanks in advance.

ProLaunch red is low, but it's very boardy. Not a bad shaft by any mean though. If you're trying to stay in the same price range, give the V2 a try also.

This may be a dumb question, but what does "boardy" mean? Stiff? I've heard this before regarding this shaft, but never understood?

Maybe give the Grafalloy Blue a go (not the prolaunch Blue) its pretty cheap as its a few years old but its still a great shaft.

The ProLaunch Red does play a lot stiffer than other shafts in the same flex and the torque is also low. Boardy to me is how it feels. If you're a strong hitter and can load this shaft then you will probably like it.

As stiff as the widebody? (which was made to be stiffer?).

I just installed a Red in a 2hybrid. I played it today for the first time. I have a Blue in another hybrid and I like the performance of the Red. I'll be looking for more in the future. I bought a new pull out for 11.50 on ebay.

Good luck

A few weeks ago I installed a 66 gram RED in my driver, x stiff, and it feels great to me. I was afraid it would feel like a broom stick in x stiff but it feel nice to me.

I liked it so much that I purchased a 74 gram RED fairway shaft in stiff to try in my 3 wood.
