Absolutely love the shaft!!!

I know this is digging up an older post... but can anyone comment on how the RIP alpha 60-S compares to the X-flex shaft? I have a 60-S and it's ok... feels nice but launches a bit high and (though I haven't had it on a launch monitor) seems to spin a touch more than I'd like in the Covert Tour 2.0 driver. Will the X flex feel about the same and bring the flight/spin down with the firmer tip? Or does it just overall feel significantly stiffer too? Thanks.

 

Mine spins quite a bit as well but not brave enough to move to the X. I flatten the driver lie angle and put some lade tape on the crown and it helped a bit.

I am considering the rogue i/o for my 3 wood.. I play the limited edition 125 on my driver.. xstiff on the driver, would the rogue io on the 3 wood have the same feel even though the driver shaft is 60g and 3 wood would be 72g..

 

Thanks for input

I think I am going to purchase (pending my bid) a Callaway Big Bertha Fusion 3 Wood (15 degree) with an Aldila RIP Alpha (Red Eyes) 70 Extra Stiff shaft. I currently game an Aldila Rogue I/O 70 Stiff shaft in my Callaway 816 Head and the ball is getting too high with a 15 yard left move. Granted I have the setting at +2 Draw (so set at 18 degrees) but I have it set at this setting so I have a square face. It feels as though I need something to get the ball lower. I hit a Rogue Silver 60 Stiff in my 10 Degree Callaway Fusion Head and hit it 250-290. Wanting to know if going with the Extra Stiff in the RIP Alpha 70 is going to be too much for me to handle. I think I have a pretty aggressive transition to handle this shaft in a 3 wood but time will tell. Your thoughts are appreciated!

I put the TX in my Cally mini driver, use it as a strong 3 (14*) for controlled tee shots. I'm debating putting it in my driver too. Great shaft!

A few months ago I bought a 915 titleist driver with a RIP alpha Stiff shaft. Its the best thing I've ever hit!!!!

Just bought an Epic Sub Zero with the Alpha 60 X, but I fear it's too much shaft for me. Fun to go after it as hard as you can, but no real control that way.

 

If anyone has a Stiff and wants to trade, send me a PM.

I have the Alpha 60 x flex in an old Cleveland launcher DST-13° 3 wood.

Of all the clubs I've sold , this one is never leaving. About every 2 years it goes back in the bag.

Long straight shots.

Hoping someone can help explain the 2,4 6 and 3,4,7 numbers on the rouge tour 115 shafts. I emailed aldila and their answer was... "The “3 5 7” or “2 4 6” has to do with the increase in shaft stiffness difference between the long, mid, and short irons." I asked for more info several times but was ignored ever since. Hoping someone has played them and can clarify this for me a little better

Game the NV 75x in a G30 head. Flight is a bit too high. Previously tried the NV 65x and vs proto 70x. 65 was way too whippy and vs proto a tad light and spun too much. Which Rip Alpha would you suggest in X-Stiff?

[jackzhang]

High ball flight shafts.

I'm using a RIP Phenom in my Callaway Epic 5wood. Perfect mid flight trajectory to land the ball without too much run-out. I've always loved Aldila's smooth loading shafts.

 

Did fall in love with the results of using a Graphite Design AD BB 6x shaft in my Cally Rogue Sub-Zero driver (9* - Neutral).

Had it/have it in my R11s 3 wood, still trying to kick this club out of my bag, it just give me that call shot feel, left/right, high/low, but it is better off the tee then turf for me and I feel like the head is missing a few yards now. My buddy still plays it in his fairway, solid shaft, can’t tell if Adila improved it, if so, what newer Aldila mode matches most closely?
