New! NV Hybrid. When PGA Tour professionals look to maximize the performance of their hybrid clubs, they turn to the new NV Hybrid. Available in 85 and 100 gram designs. R, S or X flex, taper or parallel tip. The winner of the 2004 Mercedes Championship used the NV Hybrid 100 X flex in his TaylorMade Rescue Mid.

I love the NV 75 stiff I put in my driver this year. Helped me eliminate those high balloning drives, and hit those low, boring shots that are straight up the middle, and long. It helps me feel the clubhead during the swing, and it flexes at the same point, every time. Took sme getting use to the weight, but now i would never go for a lighter shaft, everything else, feels too whipy for me. Plus, the green is downright sick! Great shaft.

i've got a nv-75 stiff in my nike ignite 410 9.5*. absolutely awesome combination. originally had a ignite 410 with a graphite design ys-6 and the ball was all over the place, left, right, high low never where i wanted it. with the aldila nv-75 it is down the middle or a little draw or fade if i want. if its a bad shot, its all me and i know it before i even see the ball. love this shaft.

This is one shaft that i have never had any success with, i have hated it in every club i have ever hit with one in it.

I agree-- I've tried to like this shaft, but I've disliked it in the several clubs I've tried it in. It looks great, and I like the thin-ness, but it just doesn't work for me...

I have tried NV's in a number of clubs. The results have been fair to bad. Most overrated shaft in the business. Cannot understand why so many companies use them. Must have got a great deal from Aldila.

Great feel, great trajectory, great distance. You just have to find the right combo. The shaft is great in a Callaway driver, but horrible in Titleist drivers. In the 904F it is great again.

I LOVE this shaft

I am that wrapt in this shaft I have had every type of fuji,GD, and any other $500+ tour shaft and this one just plain out play's them to me but hey that's just my opinion.

Best wishes

Played this shaft in a Taylormade R7.......It didn't last too long. I played the NV65 in a stiff flex. My shots were all over the place, missing left and right, high and low. It just didn't do anything for me, I have since changed to a Fujikura and I'm very pleased with the change. I would be very wary of using an aldila NV again.

Correction, this shaft is not great in every Callaway driver. I tried it in a FT-3 Tour and it was s***! It was a stiff shaft but felt soft. I tried it in a Titleist driver after this and I liked it very much, I probably had a regular shaft the last time I tried it in a Titleist driver... The graffaloy Blue shaft is great as well in a Titleist driver.

Wat did I learn from this: This shaft is great in a few drivers, it all depends on the head! So try it first in the head you like before you buy it!

Have the 65 in my Ping G5 and I love it. The demo I hit had the stiff and I hit that okay but bought the Xstiff in my driver. The xstiff really helped bring down those way high air sucking cuts and lets me do what I like with the ball. I especially like the way this shaft lets me turn the ball over (my natural shot shape) but has greatly reduced the occasional duck and the high over cooked hook. I am also really impressed so far with the trajectory, when I put this club on the launch monitor I got about 3000 rpm which is pretty darn good.

I absolutley adore this shaft. It gives a low ball flight but I never feel like it's overly stiff which is great. I really can't see the point in shafts costing hundreds of pounds when something as good as this is available for £80. The best shaft I have ever tested, maybe ever will. 5 stars.

You guys that seem to hate this shaft have got me spooked. Here I sit surrounded by snow and just bought a new exotics driver w/ the NV shaft in it. I got it off of ebay and had little choice as to the shaft. In any event I had a NV stiff in a previous Cleveland comp and did not like it at all. I went from there to mizuno w/ exar reg and liked it better. Now I have the exotics w/ NV regular and am keeping my fingers crossed that the difference between the stiff and reg will make a big difference, but w/ all the snow I cannot try it , so here I sweat!! I am dying to try a 757 (?) speeder or a matrix but I am like a blind squirrel looking for an acorn. I just want a shaft that is smooth( not harsh) yet delicately firm, w/ med trag and ball go far!! My driver speed is about 95+ med smooth tempo, any suggestions? :) :D

This shaft did not work for me at all. I had one in a Nike Sasquatch that played terrible. It might have been the big head of the SQ or something but it was just to weak for me. I went back to the Grafalloy Blue which is always my standby shaft.

Had it in my 983K until I cracked the face on it. Went a good 15 yards further than my old speeder, once I got used to the weight. Anyways gonna get a G5 with it, hopefully Ill have the same luck with it.

My SS is 107 but I dont flex the shaft too much, I like to feel the clubhead when I swing.

I'm playing this shaft in my Launcher Comp. I would say its okay on this driver. Shots do not balloon, but a tighter dispersion would be nice.

I must confess, however, that I played this shaft in a mizuno mp driver and in a sonartec md hybrid and thought it was terrible in both.

Overall grade: C+ to B-

I have the NV65 Stiff in my Launcher 400 Ti and it works well for me.

Of course a guy at the range tried it and could only manage low duck hooks, so you never know til you try it.

I think the performance of this shaft is dictated by which driver head it is in. I had an NV 65 X in a 905T and absolutely loved it (don't know why I sold it either....) But I hated it in my SQ Tour :) that's being taken care of though :cheesy:

I FRIGGIN' LOVE IT!!!

I just thought it was way too flimsy. I put a 75S in my Ping G5 and absolutely hated how flimsy it was. Flet like I had no control over my swing. Put a 75X in there and Still felt too flimsy and my trajectory was 6 inches off the ground. I'd only carry 200 and roll another 80 yards. Now I have the ProLaunch and couldn't be happier!

I had the NVS 65 S in my mp 001 and worked well when i swung slow, but once i stepped into it, I never seen a shaftt lag SOOOOOOO much. I was whiffing the ball it was so bad, not me! I slamed in the NV 75 x and wow, My drives are longer and alot straighter! I love the nv!

I have been playing the NV85x in my 905T for a while now. I must say I am really pleased with the results of this shaft. The entire club has been a big change for me so I am not sure how much I can attribute to the shaft. The club is shorter in length overall than my previous drivers and my accuracy has improved significantly. My distance is not far off from where it was with my other drivers but something can definitely be said about suddenly being able to find your ball. I have found the NV to have a pretty nice feel and I will say that the feel of this shaft has been very consistent for me. It feels the same when I smooth it or when I rip on it. This shaft has never jumped out at me and said "hey! I am an awesome shaft" like many others I have tried for example the AccuFlex's and MCC's. It is a steady performer though and I must say I am pleased. It will likely stay in this club for the remainder of the year.

I take this back! I have my Alpha with the Evolution Lite back in the bag and comparing the two side by side has made me realize that the overall ball flight with the NV is inconsistent, in terms of height. I am hitting the ball very straight but sometimes it balloons and sometimes it's low and boring. I find with the Evolution that no matter what I do I get the same trajectory, it is just a matter of going straight, left, or right. I am going to replace the NV with the original Evolution as soon as I can.

Has anyone tried the 75 in a SQ Max?

i have hit this in about every driver i could get my hands on and i just havent had any success with it i like it until i try to hit the ball it just seems to get too whippy through impact for my taste

If you find the NV65 too whippy then the answer is the NV85 - I now have it in my 3 wood and driver in S flex and absolutely love the power, trajectory and control...although the Bridgestone head at the end of them sure helps !!

the heavier the NV the better it gets for me with the 105 being best and the 95 a close second. the 105 is a beast in a 3 wood and the 95 in a driver works well - played a 510/NV95x combo for a year and it is still the longest combo i've hit

I used the nv 75s for most of this year and found it good until you have a go at one and then it feels like you don't have the shaft helping you and then it's about 1 out of 10

I concur 100% with u 'caligolfer'. I too have a 100-105 swing speed (driver) and replaced the speeder stock stiff shaft in my 983K with the Aldila nv65s after some great advise from my local clubmaker. The change was positively incredible. Gained at least 20-25 yards, dispersion improved significantly and had no problems with the change over in terms of weight or feel. It was like taking a breath of fresh air. I'd like to experiment with nv65 xstiff for comparison.

Does the NV Proto have a lower trajectory than the VS Proto?
