so i purchased a new driver (see sig)
i have a choice in 2 shafts to game in my new FT-3
it is currently coming w an Aldila NV (green) S 65g shaft

i have always liked GD shafts, but dont want to waste time and $ & switching back and forth

which shaft would suggest, based on the following or have you used these shafts and what are your opinions?

they have almost the exact same characteristics

As follows:

GD Aura RED :
*68g, 3.2º torque, high kickpoint, low traj., low ball spin

Aldila NV ( green one ):
*69g, 3.5º torque, low-mid traj., assuming also lower ball spin and mid/high kickpoint
*i'm pretty sure this is a "made for" shaft as it was an option for Callaway when you bought this new (mine is also still new), so i don't know if the characteristics are what the site says they are?

i have a pretty high lauch angle now around 12.1-14º w high ball flight
wanting something to help keep it lower
ss is approx. 103-108mph
as sig., says, Callaway FT-3 neutral

i ended up keeping the ol 907 and put the GD Aura RED in er
really nice shaft
had wicked response, doesnt feel "boardy", its really smooth

produces a good ball flight for my swing...still higher, but not to the moon high and not a worm burner

really reccomend this shaft
price point is good ($75-ish i think), looks stellar and overall a good buy

    • Day 446 - 2025-12-20 Woke up early and got some swings in before teaching putting all day. Looking forward to doing the same tomorrow.
    • It's miles better, though.
    • Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
    • Day 130 12-20 Today was just swinging what i had and go from there. Did focus on getting to lead side. Recorded swings for lesson  and hit real balls.
