I like the new VS Proto shafts in my Adams Hybrids. Does anyone know if they make a Proto shaft for use in a driver? Any thoughts on if Proto would be superior to the Aldila NV?

Sure, they make a VS Proto for drivers -- I have one in my Maltby CT250 driver I just built this past month. It plays great and in my opinion is a much much better shaft than the NV or even NVS.

It is a pricey shaft though, it retails for about $180. I picked up a mint quality professional "pull" from a factory Bridegestone driver on ebay for about $50. It even had a brand new Bridgestone branded GP Tour Velvet grip on it (which is what I play anyway) so that was a plus. Great shaft, especially at that price.

Thanks for the information! I see several listed on eBay - look to be selling new ones in the 50-$70 range. Best I've found otherwise is $89+, so they are a bit high still - but I'm going to go ahead and get one.

Best round - 68
Career Aces - 3 (aces are mostly dumb luck)

      Determining Out of Bounds

      I wonder if that is why my home course basically have no stakes now.  Not even markers.  It’s completely up to golfers to remember what is OB and hazard and how things used to be marked.     Even in tournaments, there is no marking and certain areas are played differently by different golfers who either don’t know better or use it to their advantage funny reading thru this with courses that actually have markers

      Electrolytes

      By Elmer · Posted

      Great post, thanks for the informaiton. I try to avoid adding salt to anything I eat. I tend to add pepper on to my meals as opposed to salt. And I am trying to eat as clean on possible. On golf day, I eat 3 eggs for breakfast (pepper NO salt) and a salad for lunch, with grilled chicken thigs (pepper, garlic, no salt). I have been trying to avoid processed food, but we all slip. I also should have mentioned that the electrolyte packet calls for mixing with 16 oz of water, however I mix in 32 oz of water, so I dilute the electrolyte powder.

      LIV Golf Now Closed?

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      So if I read the news correctly, the PIF will not fund LIV after this season.  LIV is trying to find new funding and a number of players there are now asking about getting back to the Tour.    I am very, very concerned that Taylor Gooch will not have a place where he can make a jackass out of himself soon

      It is a known technique, similar to the armed forces box technique. They use a 4x4 , in through the nose and out through the mouth. I use it to go to sleep fairly often. It works for me
