VSS by True Temper

[fixyurdivot]

Anyone tested, played, or playing these?  https://www.truetemper.com/products/elevate-tour/  I tried graphite shafts as part of my iron fittings but the numbers were not favorable.  My fitter had a very limited selection of graphite or other hybrid shaft options - which is too bad as I was pretty interested and somewhat hopeful about changing to these.  Yesterday's round in the cold reminded me that my hands, wrists, elbows and shoulders are getting increasingly worn.  A few shots felt like hockey pucks coming off the face. It got me to thinking about shaft technology that is easier on the joints.  I keep seeing ads for the True Temper Elevate shafts with VSS technology, but don't see (haven't found) much discussion here on the forum.  The lone exception being Matt's recent acquisition and review of PXG 0211 irons.

I'd be surprised if "VSS" was anything different than the old sensicore inserts but just a new marketing name.

As I said in my review, I love them. They reduce the possibility of any stingers, and vibrations, yet still provide phenomenal feedback.

if you find that you like the elevate (which comes in a 95g or 120g option) you might like to consider the catalyst shaft.

You could always wood dowel your irons like Tiger does.

I put the foam inserts in my shafts and it has helped a lot! Cheap too!

Be careful, the foam inserts are known to trap moisture and thus rust and weaken a steel shaft from the inside. 

Only closed cell foam should be used

Yep. Heard that for years...

Lord knows I won’t own these irons long enough for rust through!

I have one in a wedge that I gave a try for the heck of it since I battle right elbow problems.  Plays about the same as a sensicore shaft or adding inserts which I use in my irons.  Overall a good shaft from TT.
