UST VTS Tour SPX

Very nice
Played a UST VTS Tour SPX black 7S today in a new driver, and was vey impressed with this shaft. My gamer has a UST Proto 76g and it's 1/2" shorter than the club I played today. For those that don't like the boardy feel of Proto or V2, this shaft felt very smooth to me. Full disclosure, I really like a stable shaft, I tend to like shafts that are labeled boardy and I am a hitter instead of a swinger....I am working on that.

All that being said, the SPX black felt very, very smooth and almost encouraged me to swing instead of hit. Very nice mid launch. This is a great shaft IMO.

I agree wholeheartedly. I like crisp feeling shafts. My favorite of all time is the ShaqX. The VTS comes close. Liked the driver so much that I am having my 3 wood changed over to VTS also.

I'm planning the same. I have an Ovation 3w head that I love but the shaft in it hasn't always worked out. Held off on a re-shaft as the current set up works off the deck okay but not stable enough off the tee for my poor swing. After today, I think I'm going to look at the VTS black in the 3 as well.

I have SPX Blacks in my driver and 3 wood and a Silver in my other driver. Shafts a money!!!

How do you feel the black and silver differ? I know the torque is different, but hitting them both, what do you feel is different play wise?

The only difference is you can feel the kick ie tip on the silver and not/less the black. The black does spin less, and for me it is the best driver shaft I've played. I have a silver 8SX in my i15 3w and an 8x in my i15 5w. The silver is a great fw shaft and loooong. I hit back to back 5w my i15 with the silver 8X and my TEE CB4 with an Accra XE 80 and the Ping was 4 yards longer.

I recently put the Attas T3 in my back up driver. The T3 has a very active Accra type feeling tip, but I still go back to my black. I'm going to pull the T3 and put in another black 6SX and sell the T3.

I hit the black and silver side by side on Trackman with the same head. Black spun less and launched lower, at least for me :)

Do you think the silver shaft plays similar to the Proforce V2? Anyone?

The black and the Proto have similar torque numbers, I assume the V2 would be the same.

I have a Red 85sx in my fairway and I'd say it's a smoother overall, a little less harsh and slightly softer tip than a V2 but the same tightness. If I was to do it again I think I'd get an 85x in the fairway. I'm in the process of putting a 100X Hybrid in my hybrid and a 7X Silver in my driver and those will give me a better comparison of the VTS Red vs VTS Silver vs V2. I'll chime back once I install and have a week to hit them.
