I'm wondering if the Aldila NV shaft, which I had previously on my Taylormade R5 and really like, would be a better shaft than the factory installed Re Ax 60 that I have on my current driver - a Taylormade r7 460?

thanks for your opinions!


I have a similar dilemma. I have an R5 with a regular NVS that was a really good combo for me when I had a good swing during mid season. Currently trying a R7 460 that has the R re*ax. I'm finding the club face dead center mostly with the R7 but the shaft feels really soft even for my 90 mph swing. I will likely try the NVS in hopes of a higher launch as well as a bit more distance.

With my loose Fall swing I've resorted to my old reliable, original HiBORE with 44" shaft. A real fairway finder but high trajectory and little roll out.

Good luck ... I envy your 8 index!!!


I think that you should go with the Aldila shaft. I have tried both the Aldila NV and the RE-AX shaft and I think that the Aldila is much better.

They are both good shafts, but I tend to think that if you find a shaft you like, that likes you, stick with it. I have found a driver shaft ***FINALLY*** that fits my game. I will probably order it in all my drivers for a while, unless my swing specs change.
