Mizuno2 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I just acquired a Mizuno jpx EZ for peanuts. I am looking at replacing the shaft in it. I'm looking for the cheapest possible low launching shaft that's around 70g X flex.

PMookie Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Sheesh. LOTS of low launching shafts... Every maker has them. Man... I've had everything from the old Aldila NV, to the original Grafalloy Blue, to Diamana D+, and even an Excalibur brand shaft. Not sure they would all be classified as low launch these days, but there are literally dozens of shafts out in the low launch category. Fubuki Alpha, Aldila RIP Alpha, Matrix Ozik Black Tie, Xphlexxx Agera, Hzrdus Black, Motore F1, Motore Speeder VC 7.2, etc, etc, etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Driver: Honma TR 460 8.5*, Aldila RIP Alpha 80 S, 45 1/4"; Ping G425 LST, Fujikura Speeder TR 661 S, 45 1/2" hybrids: Cobra King Tec 17* and 21*, both with Graphite Design Tour AD-DI 105 X Irons: Srixon ZX5 4-6, ZX7 7-PW, UST Mamiya Recoil F4, +1” Wedges: SMS 50D/54V/58DModus 130 stiff, +1” Putter: EAS 1.0 All but putter have Lamkin ST+2 Hybrid Calibrate midsize built to oversize +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPY VIP GolfSpyC Posted October 2, 2016 SPY VIP Share Posted October 2, 2016 Depends on how much/little you're looking to spend. Most of the aforementioned options can be had for $100 or less on the resale market... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaskanski Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I've seen used Aldila RIP 70x's for $30. A cursory look at Ebay will yield similar results. Other good options are to ask for ex fitting cart shafts which some pros shops throw away (?!) or sometimes, a whole club can be used as a donor for a decent shaft. TM springs to mind in this regard - older TP models can be a bargain with high end shafts intact. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therod Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I've been playing the Xcaliber TourXs for a couple years now. I play the heaviest version, in the tour stiff flex. Quite lovely for me. But I had elbow troubles 2 years in a row, so as much as anything this was an effort to reduce some pain. It worked! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chisag Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Aldila NV are great and cheap. Also grab a prolaunch red ... I played golf with John Oldenburg, the guy that designed the NV. He says it is still one of the best shafts ever made and if it fits you wing, there is nothing better. He continues to tweak the NV design for those that didn't fit perfectly into the NV. I loved the VS Proto, then the VooDoo SVS6 and for me the Rogue Black Tour is the best shaft I have played. If the Rogue Silver fits your swing it is certainly worth looking into. That said, if you are looking for a bargain, you just can't do better than the original NV for the price. I have ordered Aldila shafts from Shirtdaddy on Ebay and he is the real deal: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BRAND-NEW-ALDILA-NV-75-X-FLEX-335-DRIVER-SHAFT-EXTRA-STIFF-FLEX-335-/252453131790?hash=item3ac761160e http://www.ebay.com/itm/VERY-RARE-NEW-ALDILA-TOUR-ISSUED-GREEN-ATX-75-TOUR-X-DRIVER-SHAFT-335-335-/381778755843?hash=item58e3c98103 Quote Driver: SIM2 Max 10.5* ...

Undershooter Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Aldila Protopype is cheap and you can prolly find some new ones and pulls out there. That's about as low launching a shaft as it out there.
