fixyurdivot Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 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.

03trdblack Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I'd be surprised if "VSS" was anything different than the old sensicore inserts but just a new marketing name.

Maltenator Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 As I said in my review, I love them. They reduce the possibility of any stingers, and vibrations, yet still provide phenomenal feedback.

McGolf Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 if you find that you like the elevate (which comes in a 95g or 120g option) you might like to consider the catalyst shaft.

Jmikecpa Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 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. Quote WITB 2024 Driver: Qi10 LS 9* Ltd.
