Aldila NV 2KXV vs classic NV


mwcallison

Recommended Posts

I just ordered a used Aldila NV NXT green in 65g stiff. It's black with a green NV and some binary digits on it.

Can someone help me figure out which version of the shaft I have? I thought I had found the original NV Green, but this looks like an update. However, I'm also seeing NV NXTs with a green paint job and white NV on it. So, I'm not sure which version I have.

I like the feel of it, and I know the classic NV is still used by many. Is this version an upgrade over the original, the same, or a lesser rendition?

Thanks in advance

Aldila is known for variations in paint schemes so it's hard to say but the black with green sounds like the NV 2KXV green. Green with white lettering is the NV NXT. Both those can be seen here. Just click on the different series to change the images. NV® Series | ALDILA®

Or this is the 2KXV Aldila NV 2KXV Green 65/75 Graphite Wood Shafts

and this is the next gen Aldila NXT GEN NV 55/65/75 Graphite Wood Shafts | The GolfWorks

And this is the original classic NV (green with black NV) Aldila NV Graphite Wood Shaft

Thanks so much @Stuart_G ! I didn't think it was the 2KXV because I didn't see that anywhere on the graphics, and it wasn't listed as such on eBay.

Does anyone have any feedback on whether the 2KXV lived up to the classic NV in terms of feel? They're pretty cheap in various places, so I'd be interested in trying out the classic NV if users think the 2KXV missed the mark there. I liked my results in my first test session, so I'm interested in exploring this profile. But, if most think that the 2KXV is basically a carbon copy of the classic NV or even better, then I'll just stick with this.
I got the 2KXV for $60 with tip and grip installed, so I'm not locked into it for too much. The classic NVs are selling for that or cheaper.

How does the Aldila Tour Green compare with the old green NV shaft? I always thought the old Green NV was a great fairway wood shaft for me.

Yes, it has come in. It's definitely the 2kxv green. Good to know on the blue/vs-proto similarities. I'm sure the green/NV are similar then!
