I installed the 65-S shaft on my Titleist 906F2 and man this bombs now. I have zero problems getting over water or getting close on those long par 5's. Love this shaft!

I slightly overlooked this shaft!
Date: May 24, 2009
In December 2007 I purchased an Adams 430Q driver with this shaft in it. Earlier that year I had also purchased a Taylormade Superquad that I was experimenting with, I ended up putting a Grafalloy Blue 65S in it and loved it. In my seven years of playing I've been through many different drivers and shafts, not to mention I've tested several others. Among my favorites are the Diamanna Blueboard 83S, Grafalloy Blue and Taylormade REAX 65S. However, I just recently pulled out the Adams 430Q Driver with the Aldila NVS 65-S shaft installed in it and was pleasantly surprised. Now this shaft does have a 2 inch extension in it. Mainly because I normally like to play with a raw shaft (spine it, rough up the tip, install it in the head and put a grip on it). Because I play with the longer than normal shaft length it's recommended that I go with just a slightly stiffer flex. My stats are: Driver Swing Speed between 96-106, Driver head lofts used 8.5 - 9.5, Normal Ball Flight is Slight Draw with a Very High Launch and Trajectory (have not been checked for launch angle but is higher than most players when compared), Carry is 240 - 250 yards with 30 - 40 yards of roll. Although I normally like to use mid-trajectory shafts with low torque (2 - 6 to 3.2), I enjoyed the feel and performance of the mid-trajectory with a slightly higher torque rating. For some reason I didn't like the Adilia NV (even though it was a low trajectory shaft). That shaft just seemed to balloon on me. Anyways, hope this review helps you. Good Luck!
Pros: Quality, Durability, Easy to Use, Good Value, Features, control

Performed as expected
Date: October 7, 2008
As my swing has slowed a bit, I needed a bit higher flight from my driver so I went with a Grafalloy ProLaunch 65 and a bit higher lofted driver head. The PL65 definitely gets the ball high, a bit higher than I wanted (and with a bit too soft of a flex) so I looked for another shaft. The NVS seemed to look the part, and considering my positive experiences with other Aldila shafts (One & NV), I decided to use this with my current driver head. My last round had the ball flying the height I wanted and the distance off the tee was as I expected. I also had this shaft PURE'd which made assembly that much easier and very little dispersion.
Pros: Quality, Good Value, Features

Great for anyone who swings a Driver 90-100. This shaft will get you plenty of carry without sacrificing control.
