ALDILA TOUR BLUE

Hey fellas,

 

I am looking for any experience or thoughts on this shaft. I have a PXG GEN II driver coming with this shaft. I have never tried it and am looking for any help you may be able to offer.

 

Thanks in advance!

Right up my alley! I upgraded my original reg-flex, stock shafts on both of my fairway woods late last year with these in stiff, and that shaft just woke both of them up. In fact I like that shaft so well, I got one for my driver just the other day, though I still haven't hit it yet-perhaps tomorrow.

You can find these on eBay occasionally for decent pricing, but wherever you do go get them, yeah, there a great shaft...at least for me. I have a fairly fast sing tempo and swing speed is right around 100-mph. Regular flex was just too whippy for me and I did a plie of on-line research that pointed these to me, but in stiff (see signature below). "Mid-launch and low-spin" was what I was after, and though I don't have any launch monitor data to back it up, these just delivered. Originally just did my 3w after the original shaft broke. It was so good, I immediately upgraded my 5w. Now the driver is in the queue, and I'm hoping to get similar results.

My vote: GO FOR IT! At least try one out. Cheers!

Thanks for your help! 

From one disabled vet to another...…..Thank you, my friend for your service  and sacrifice!

I've been using the Aldila tour Blue shaft since i as fitted for it 4+ years ago for a Cobra Fly Z+. When i was fitted for my current Cleveland Launcher Driver, i tried a HZRDUS yellow in the same profile (75X), but was just more consistent with the Tour Blue.  The HZRDUS Yellow 65X is awesome in my fairway though.
