Aldila NV 65-S, on my Hibore XL, whatcha think??

[fastfed]

I needed a new shaft really bad, I think the stock shafts on these hibore XL's suck!!! I love the way they hit and know all I needed was a nice new shaft. I wanted to get the V2, but after being on a machine and hitting about 40 balls, they sized me up and put me with the 65-S, green shaft.

I gained about 40 yards average with just the shaft upgrade, my height went down significantly, before it would sky rocket and go about 170-180 yards, SAD I KNOW!! Now I am back to about 230-235 yards, dead straight every time.. With a 100mph swing speed.. I obviously still need help hitting it, but its a start.

Anyone else have this shaft? Thoughts? Comments?

You know what though guys.. It really stings when I paid 85 bucks installed for this shaft and find out it like 15 bucks on ebay..

Did I get raped??

EDIT** though there are some on there going for this price

So with installation maybe it wasn't that bad???

Mine is the 350 as well.

Not a big fan of the 65g version of the NV, personally. Doesn't suit my swing I guess. I can feel it torque, but not really flex. The 55g version of the NV or the 65g version of the NVS work better for me. I prefer a more mid launch shaft, which is what I have in there now. Good choice on the head, but I'm a little biased. $85 installed for the NV isn't great, but not really bad either. The shaft will cost you about $90 at most major retailers, plus another $17-20 labor, so $85 isn't terrible. Plenty of people love the NV, just depends on your swing. I switched out the stock gold shaft for a shaft that was laying around that had been pulled from an older Cobra F-Speed driver and it has been working better for me. Feels more solid at impact. Obviously not the greatest shaft out there, but it fits me well.

I bought a Calloway right off the rack with this shaft after hitting my friend's on the range for 10 minutes. I have never hit the ball better. Before I tried it I made sure that I was getting the right shaft for my swing speed.

I think that 85 installed is decent. You got a brand new shaft, not a pulled one on EBAY, so you know it is good and installed to spec.

Yea, I looked on some webtsites, like retail, and they all sell them for atleast 80 bucks, plus shipping, and then installation
