They make good shafts. They make stuff for a broad range of swings. I have a vs proto in my 3 wood now and i enjoy it.

I have a VS Proto in my Ping 3wood. It's one of my favorite shafts, mid launch and seems to be low spin, just a nice solid shaft that you can go after, or responsive with an easy swing.

I'm making the shift from Grafalloy to Aldila. I was really happy with the Grafalloy, but I'd been playing Grafalloy for three years and felt like it was time for a change. I'd originally went with the VS Proto, but now find myself with the VooDoo. I find the Aldila have a softer feel at impact. That's the main difference. I also went from a 65g to 70g shaft weight. Never realized how much 5g weighs, but I can certainly feel the difference. I only have one round in experience with the Aldila in my 3 wood. I'm getting my new driver with the VooDoo today.

Grafalloy makes a good shaft, but being a club making Ive never been a fan because they are so brittle! we would have to be so careful putting them in the vice in fear they might split or crack!

It's my opinion that Aldila have more of a "gummy" feel than a Graffaloy, which has more of a "grainy" feel to it. I do like Aldila, but I actually found that feel to be a little less pleasing to me. Perhaps I need to stick with the X shafts, because their (Aldila's) S shafts are way too soft for my taste (even though the ball flight is my DVS 3 wood is actually ok, not too high like the NVS in my driver was).

Some golfer said to me "Aldila Voodoo is too soft for me". Is it really that soft?

I tried NV before, I think it has a good feedback whether you hit it in the middle or not. Cannot describe it as soft though ....

      Day 21 - Good session with driver and 6i. Hitting real golf balls is quite a bit different from the foam balls, still getting used to that change.

      What Callaway Driver and 3 Wood to Buy Given My Age, Skill, Level Etc?

      By RWold ·

      There are so many videos comparing and contrasting everything that I am both overwhelmed and more than a bit skeptical. Your comments above are much more valuable than hours of you-tube videos. Generally speaking, I’d much prefer to read something that someone took the time and trouble to write (such as your comments) than a bunch of videos, or worse, meaningless reviews that seem like they are all cut and paste selections of the same script. I’m more of a RTFM type than a watcher of “instructional” videos. By way of explanation, I don’t watch TV either.  So thanks - I’ll take that under advisement. I have an H3 that I bought for $10 that I’ve been carrying around but not sure why. Seems like a cool club, but I just don’t really know what to do with it.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      I was using the window as a mirror. Just trying to be a more aware of the feels for a better backswing. Trying to not be as closed from A1 to A2. Then not letting the club head flip inside. What I was feeling was a pressure my right wrist, and like the palm of my right hand was pushing upward against the grip of the club. My right hand was the underside of the swing path.  Going to play around with this a bit more. It looked pretty decent with mirror/window work. Just wanted to jot it down.
