recently bought a driver with a crappy made for shaft and tour edge was going to reshaft the club with the new Aldila RIP Sigma thats in the CB4 Tour driver. i know its in the titleist 910 driver.

any opinions on its performance? is it worth the same as a beta, gamma, alpha shaft? or is it just another made-for?

tour edge says they can reshaft it for 40 bucks...seem too good to be true for a true aldila RIP

The RIP is not a "made for" but I don't know much about the Sigma's performance

Only reason I was a little weary of its quality was because they don't offer it on the aldila website...and I feel if they wanted to make a "made for" without confusing it with another one of their quality alphas, gammas, or betas was to make an entirely new shaft...im not saying it's made for but I cant seem to find it anywhere other than titleist 910s exotics cb4s and probly adams or cobra..not even reviews

You know, I could be wrong here.  Here are a few pics.  If it's not on the Aldila website, it's probably something like the Serrano shaft Aldila made for Ping.  I'd call Aldila and find out.

i only ask because the stock shaft is very numb and probly made cheap. i also believe that it not only kicks low but spins more than it should considering the clubhead is designed for low spin and side-to-side control.

i was recently in florida for thanksgiving and finally got to play after maybe a month and a half. (Pennsylvania is brutal on a golfer this time of the year) i noticed i was hitting the ball incredibly high and it seemed like it was getting held up by wind opposed to boring through it. I was hitting barely 200-220 yards consistently even when i felt like i crushed it. my consistency in terms of control has gone down now that my swing is getting a bit more strong. I think the flex (Reg) is actually hurting not only my distance but my accuracy. I'm not sure whether id want a mid kickpoint regular flex or just a mid kick stiff. i know the RIP is at the top of the lot in terms of driver shafts but i dont know about the Sigma. plus, if i were to get a rip im unsure of what flex id play in.

i intend on getting a print out soon to get the right shaft...im just unsure of buying the RIP sigma.

    • Better late than never.  I got The Stack System over 2 years ago.  Problems with ruptured tendon and bone-on-bone knee stopped me from using it.  Foot was a year to full recovery.  Had the knee done in January.  This weekend was first full swings in quite a while, With spring here (at least according to the calendar) I’m finally going to do the program.  It’s 32 degrees with flurries tonight so I’m not sure exactly when I will start but should be soon.  
    • Day 29  (6 Apr 26) - Snuck  a few balls with the 6i while waiting for the local school tournament golf match to start.  Worked on tempo - starting with 1/2 swings working to full while working the ball slightly from side to side. 
    • Day 230 4-6 worked on wrist arching in downswing and hips. Going slooow today. Hit foam balls.

    • Erik J. Barzeski (@iacas) • Instagram reel 1 likes, 0 comments - iacas on April 6, 2026: "The LM1 from @shot_scope is a $200 launch monitor with a great display and extreme portability. Since 98% of a ball's distance inside of about 150 yards is determined... The ShotScope LM1 is a $200 launch monitor that made waves last fall and at the PGA Show in January. Think of it like the PRGR or the Stack radar, but in a different form factor and with a better display. It's also got a rechargeable battery (no messing around with AA or AAA batteries), and a bigger, brighter, multi-color screen over the greyscale LCD on those units. I believe it still uses the same algorithms to "guess" at the distance given the club you've chosen, assuming a relatively moderate launch angle. I do not believe it measures your "VLA" (vertical launch angle). As we know from Dr. Sasho MacKenzie, ball speed for shots 150 yards and shorter accounts for about 98% of the distance the ball travels, assuming you didn't blade the bejeezus out of it, so the LM1 can, like other simple launch monitors, really help you dial in your distance wedges. I don't think ShotScope is honoring discount codes yet (you're free to try clicking the link and using the codes in the sidebar here at TST), and it's sold out for now anyway. But, you can sign up to be notified when it's back in stock. I'll update this thread as I continue to test the unit, but so far I really like: Ease of setup and use. The quality, brightness, and colors of the display. Battery life seems adequate. I'm not sure about five hours, but… it'll last well over a full session. The battery charges quickly and with a standard USB-C cable. I had some difficulties inside when players were hitting drivers into a net 13 or 14 feet away. Many swings reported 35 MPH, or 38, or 32. My hunch was that it was seeing the speed the screen moved, perhaps, as we tried a number of configurations. It was a solid screen, not a net, and later testing to an archery net that was 35 feet away yielded consistent and reasonable numbers every time.
