So on Tuesday I am at work when I get a PM from Aldila. I'm sure you can imagine how shocked I was when they had told me I was chosen. So cool. Funny thing was, right before I got the PM I was looking online at the Aldila Rogue 130 White thinking that I really liked the first generation Aldila Rogue Silver 110. I had decent success with that shaft in the 815 GBB head, if I remember correctly. The only thing I would change is the feel, I thought that it felt a little boardy and harsh.

The next day I got shipping notification and because I am blessed (or mostly cursed depending on how you look at it) of living in the State of California I picked up the delivery today. I also feel like I should mention that it is currently 68 degrees and sunny outside right now. So in about an hour I am going to my club. I don't want it to seem like I am bragging so I should also mention that a cold front is coming in this Sunday and it will be 59. I will have to throw on an extra layer or two to survive since it will be a bit cooler than that when we tee off.

Anyhow back to the shaft. I picked up the box and because of the weight I immediately thought there's more than one shaft in there. Either that or they did a really good job of packing. So I opened the box with much anticipation and much to my surprise, there were three shafts in there, Aldila 130 White, Black, and Silver! Holy smokes. There was also a cool Aldila water bottle, draw string bag, and head cover. Unbelievable, I feel so fortunate. I am about an hour away from leaving my office and I'm heading straight to the club. There should be about two hours of daylight left. I can't wait. More to follow. Thanks again Aldila and GolfWRX!

I am currently playing an 80x in my SIM. It is a smooth loading shaft. The shaft allows me slow my tempo down to properly load it, which in turn has produced more club head speed for me. I am very impressed with its feel. It is not as boardy feeling as the 125 70x Silver that I was playing in my Rogue Sub Zero. It is definitely a nice compliment to the line!!!

Very interested in hearing the results. This one is on my short list to try

Thanks Aldila and GolfWrx. Mine is already waiting at home.

I’ll update this post very soon.

Teaser....have to be kidding me! Aldila out did theirselves. Wow!

Happy to see this guy's name

Look what I came home to! A huge thanks to GolfWRX, Aldila and MCA!

More to come.....

Finally got a chance to opener up!

Some really cool extra swag from ALDILA on top. A metal water bottle, a small backpack and a Rogue 130 head cover.

I guess I missed the memo cause the second I removed the paper packaging and the sweet swag, my jaw hit the floor when I saw not just the white but also the black and silver! THANK YOU ALDILA AND GOLFWRX!

I will be testing them in a SIM Max, once it arrives and my M6 from last year. All 3 shafts are 70TX tipped 1”. I will also compare them to the EFW T1100. I’m also hoping to get on trackman and GCQuad for numbers.

I will get more pictures up tomorrow when I can get better natural light.

Thanks Russ. Appreciate that. Crazy excited to test these three out. The White seems like a good fit on paper. We shall see. Going in an M5.

I just built a f9 driver and tour 4/5 with the non tour 130 white. Very curious to hear your thoughts

Great wins!! Cant wait to see the reviews!!

Awesome hook up from Aldila! Excited to hear everyone's review of the whole Rogue 130 line.

Okay guys, I made it out this afternoon for a little bit of driving range time then for nine holes. I’m testing these in my M4 head. My HZRDUS Yellow produces very good numbers for me and the dispersion is pretty good. I’ve tested some others and none have been able to beat it out. I will say with the HZRDUS Yellow, it can get a very little bit spinny with a fade, not too bad. It has been a good shaft and I’m not unhappy with it. But in true WRX fashion I will never stop searching for something better. A little about me, my SS is 103, I play 3-4 days a week year around and never practice. When my body is feeling good I shoot 71-74 and on the days my 45 year old body feels like a 70 year old man I shoot 76-79.

After I got warmed up, I hit 10 balls with each shaft. First the White. It is VERY different than what I am used to. My HZRDUS feels like a one piece shaft and I don’t really feel the shaft flex. With the White I could totally feel the bottom part of the shaft kick/flex. Almost like I felt the head release into the ball. Trajectory was mid to high (I’m a 14-15 degree launch guy. I don’t fight spin usually because I’m 2-3 degrees up into the ball). So trajectory was where I would want to see it. I felt like I could really release it and it would gently turn over and if I didn’t it was straight or a baby fade. What I found most interesting once on the course was that I felt if I waited for the kick my tempo greatly improved and I didn’t get too far ahead of it. Something I fight. Hitting fairways with the White was no problem on our tree lined course. In complete honesty, on three holes I hit it 10-15 yards further than my normal spots. However, in full disclosure our course was dry today. Normally the over seeded fairways this time of year are wet and it is heavily over watered in the summer. I didn’t even think to hit my HZRDUS to compare, nor did I have any desire to.

The Silver. I didn’t feel the kick as much. It was there, just not as much. Trajectory wasn’t really any lower. It was easier to fade but also more difficult for me to turn over. It’s still early but I’m thinking this shaft might be too much work for me. Distance was about equal to the White. I feel like if I’m not swinging good I could fight losing it to the right.

The Black. The kick was more pronounced. Almost too much, like it was a little loose at the bottom. I had to really wait for it to turn it over and fades spun a lot. As a result it was a bit shorter. I think if the was tipped a little bit it would be a great fairway wood shaft.

Tomorrow I am beyond excited to game the White. I feel like I can really let it go and not worry about dispersion. I had a heck of a lot of fun this afternoon. Thank you Aldila!

Looking forward to the reviews on these.

Wow, what an awesome little bundle!

I’m glad Aldila gave you guys a black as well. I’m curious for everyone’s feedback on those . I’ve had the silver 130 in driver for a year now and have considered a black for my fairways but there is zero possibility of finding one to demo anywhere in 80g. I even enlisted the help of @AldilaGolf to locate a dealer who might have demos... so I’m counting on your guys reviews haha

Have to give a huge Thanks to Aldila and GolfWrx! This was an insane deal the five of us got. Way over and above. All this swag along with the Black, White, and Silver shafts. Serious?? Wow guys!

10 hdcp, 100 mph SS, stiff shafts, no tipping. I am using a GD AD DI 5s, just had the AD IZ 6s, and Tensei PW. Here we go! Spent 2 hours on the range with the new shafts. Beautiful day here in AZ at Talking Stick golf course. Did not play today. I wanted to spend my timeon the range switching shafts in my M5 to see what was the beat fit on the first day.

Did my research and thought the White would be the one. Aldila is spot on how they advertise these shafts. The Black is higher launch than the White and the Silver is the lowest.

Wow the Silver is low spin, but not that low launch. I hit the center of the face way more often with it and the ball was piercing and not moving either way. Just powerful!! Reminds me of the Tensei PW, but even more solid for some reason. Love the Silver.

The White was what I thought it would be. Reminds me of the AD IZ, but more solid from butt to tip. Medium launch and low spin. Seemed lower than the AD IZ and not offline as much. Just comparing what I was playing last month.

The Black was really light and higher launch with more spin. This shaft would me straight money in a fairway! Might be my next one in my M4. It had the most feel of course. It is good, but maybe not for me in the driver. It does have feel like the AD DI, that’s for sure.

All three shafts are a great offering from Aldila. The White is the winner for me. The Silver is so tempting and would be a beast in the summer here in AZ getting tons of run on these hard fairways. I love the Silver for sure, but the White and touch higher trajectory and a touch more feel wins for me. Well.... after range session number 1. More to come.

Congrats on being chosen gents. Really interested to see how the White works for all of. Today I hit a White 60X and I have to say it is the BEST shaft I've hit in a driver. I'm going to hit it again tomorrow and play a round or two with it to see if it's what it was for me today. I haven't bagged an Aldila shaft in many moons, but that could change really soon.

I had to google that. Quit using big fancy words.

The White treated me like a king today. My thoughts after today were - stress free. I had no worries on the tee box, point and shoot. I absolutely love the feel. It’s so different feeling the head kick. I highly recommend this shaft for the guy to is looking for a user friendly shaft that doesn’t require a ton of work. And yet it performs like a Ferrari.

After my first range session, I agree with this...

Man I’m bummed FedEx missed their scheduled delivery on Friday! Supposedly showing up Monday I would hope although my delivery says pending.

Special thanks to Aldila and GolfWRX for the generosity. Excited to try these would be an understatement.

I actually know @jas904 well. I also know that he is well versed in testing equipment along with being a stick himself.
His opinion is one that should be sought after for those of you looking to test equipment.

Dude. Bummer. You already know why the box will be heavier than you thought. I picked it up and was like”what the heck”? Aldila treated us well!!

Wow, what a great surprise getting all 3. I’ll be following this one closely.

Congrats those that won. If the White works for you your search and Want for a new driver shaft maybe be over !! It's that good.

Not a “tester”, but I double agree. I am a few outings in with the Rogue White 130 60 R in a somewhat mild NJ winter, and it really is a phenomenal shaft. I need mid launch/low spin, but without being boardy or too low spin, and the Rogue White delivers in spades. Easily one of the best shafts I have hit, and I’ve hit a bunch. I have a 60 stiff on the way to see what it can do. As an aside, it is a really good combo with the new Mavriks. Thanks to the testers for the reports. Keep it coming...

The White is really good. Mid launch with low spin and tight feel. As a player that loves (ish) the AD DI line, the White is a tighter AD DI. It does have more feel than the AD IZ.

Yea not sure what’s up with Fedex lately for me. They’re regularly missing delivery dates. I called and complained about a package sitting at my local hub 2 days before expected delivery date and they told me they don’t have to deliver until promised date. I laughed and said so you can’t deliver early but it’s totally acceptable to deliver after the promised date? Lady said yes. I almost spit my coffee on my desk.

Hopefully I see it tomorrow!
