We did LL/LS, how about a favorite ML/MS?

Since we had a favorite low launch low spin question, it makes me wonder...what is our favorite mid launch mid spin shaft? I gamed a Blue NXT when Aldila first released it and had great success with it in a KZG Gemini 2. I've been considering trying another in my F7+, as well as an Evenflow Blue.

Not really my wheelhouse but the driver shafts that I have hit that produced the highest launch and most spin.....

 

GD Tour AD IZ and the Fuji Speeder 661 Tour Spec.  I really liked the 661, not the same specs by any means but you'll see Dustin Johnson will go back to this shaft from time to time when he's struggling with the driver.  I still have this shaft on my 3W.

Diamana Blueboard certainly deserves mention. Between Tour and Amateur usage, it’s been a mainstay for two decades.

For the lower priced segment I’d throw the Aldila NVS in for consideration.

I'm not a high spin high launch guy. I've been wondering if I'd gain a few yards if I went to a higher launching shaft. I'm playing an F7+. My shaft selection is a Wave and 3 hbp shafts, a KuroKage and a red and a blue ProLaunch. I had good luck with the Aldila blue NXT years ago in a KZG Gemini, maybe the longest driver l ever used. I've thought about getting another one of those shafts to try. I've also thought about getting the red version on eBay to try. Like I said, I'm not high launch or high spin, and I hit my driver around 275. Do I hit it far enough? Yes. But we all want to hit it farther. I'm also now in my 40s and I know at some point age and my lack of being able to play 2xs a week any more will be catching up with me.

I’ve spent time at two different shaft companies and both have said that a shaft in itself isn’t going to drastically change launch or spin.
 

it’s fun to test and tinker but it can also be an expensive hobby within a hobby. Not all shafts work with all heads so something that worked in one head may give different results in another.
