Aldila NV vs. VS Proto "by you" | Thread profile

I'm looking to pick up a new driver in the next month or so and I'm noticing that this year's stock Aldila shaft seems to be the VS Proto. I currently play, and like, the NV in my 3W and I had the best driving day of my life while I was playing a NV shafted SQ Tour 460 the other day so it's safe to say that the NV works for me. On paper, the shafts seem to have very similar specs with the VS having about 1/2* less torque....

Protopype VS By You Proto R35

Quote: Does anyone here know if the VS proto shafts and the "NV proto with nano technology" shafts are the same shaft? Pullmeister You mean the Grafalloy NV and the Aldila VS Proto? Doubtful they're anything similar....

It said NV -h on it, in reality the only resemblance is the color. IMO there isnt a shaft on the market that can keep...

The VS proto is a slightly higher launch than the NVS but it is far lower spin. It is a very tip stiff shaft with a soft butt. It has a lot more control than either the NVS or the NV. Just remember that the stock OEM versions are usually shafts that fall outside of the tolerences used for aftermarket shafts models.

I was looking at VS earlier this year. The aldila site sucks for information on the VS so I looked on GS,GG,GW and did some Google searches and found a lot of different information on its launch height. Some say low some say mid. All I wanted to know is how it compared to the NV and I couldn’t get a straight answer. I even e-mail aldila and talked to a Golf Smith tech and they both said the launch is similar to the NV but with lower...

If you get the Normal Cally's then they have a lighter different NVS with a carbon finish at the top (for Callaway shaft). But if you get the Cally Tour...

Titleist 905R 9.5*Fujikura Speeder 757 Tour Spec S Why not reshaft your 905R with an NV if you prefer it to the Speeder

I had a Hogan driver with the NV. Shaft felt OK but the ball fell out of the sky like a wounded quail. My current Titty has the VS. Shaft feels great and ball go good most days. Needs more horsepower on end holding handle.

I dread to think what a Prolaunch Blue in it would have done. Don't even ask what launch angles I got when I tried out the original Hibore...
