OK, so I keep missing my drives to the right.

So, I wnt to a local pro shop today who have a launch monitor and it turned out my swing speed was 87-91 with that shaft. I then tried a regular TaylorMade R7425 and it crept up a bit but with a big hook.

Finally tried the Aldila NVS 65R and the speed went up to 94 and sometimes 95 and dead straight.

Has anyone else used this shaft and what are your thoughts?

Am going to get my driver reshafted, but have to wait a bit as this one is $250 over here.

Having it done - costing me $199 fitted, plus $15 for the new Golf Pride Grip. I think that works out at about $135.78 in USD.

We have a crap exchange rate here don't forget :( From Golfsmith at current exchange rate that shaft is $141.92, not including shipping. Then I'd have to get it fitted, so I think I've done ok.

.... Maybe I'm missing something here .... shafts don't really effect speed, swing motion does and stiffer shafts don't increase speed.

If you're slicing, that usually means you'r coming from the outside in, and that slows the speed down because of the change of the swing plane - not the shaft .... Before you get sold a bag of goods, maybe you might consider some video and a few instructions from the Pro in the area.
Whats in the bag.?

Driver: Tour Edge 10* Jmax 460 Carbon with the Fuji Vista Pro 50 shaft/and, the Burrows 10.5* MAC 421cc with the Grafalloy Pro Launch 55 shaft.
Woods: only one left after switching to hybrids - Adams ST #7 22*.
Hybrids: Tour Edge 20*, 24*, 30*, 36*, 41* and the 50* Attack Wedge...

The weight of the shaft can

a ffect swing speed. I'm not sure what shaft "that shaft" is that he was using, but if it was 80 grams or so and the Aldila NVS 65 is around 65, he may see a difference in swing speed due to weight alone.

A lighter shaft can have a definite increase in club head speed. Read "The Search for the Perfect Golf Club" by Tom Wishon.

I use the NVS R65 and I like it. It has a flexible tip which helps stop slicing by helping to get the club square. The original NV, green, has a stiffer tip, which is a bad choice for slicers. The NVS was designed to correct the misses off to the right. Great shaft.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Vinsk ·

      Hardly. Tiger’s stats far exceed those of Nicklaus’ other than the ‘Majors.’ I put majors in quotes because several of Jack’s major wins were grossly weak in depth of field.    Im sure you’re aware that major wins as the sole criteria was Jack’s idea only after he realized he wasn’t gonna be able to surpass Snead’s total wins. Which of course was Jack’s criteria originally. Jack also moved the goal posts by not counting Amateur championships after Tiger won three to Jack’s two.

      So Does Anyone Know Who This Pat Simmons Is?

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....
