UST V2 - diff between S flex and Proto X

[YevKasim]

I've hit the standard V2 in S flex in two different drivers. 905R and 580XD TP Tour. In those heads I find it to be soft. I guess it's the tip-softness I feel. I've even tipped it an inch. BTW I'm a hitter of the ball with a 105-110mph SS. What do these shafts in X flex feel like? My club guy has a 60-something gram pull in X flex (tipped an inch) that he can sell me.

 

My shaft of choice these past few years has been the green NV's in S flex. It allows me to take a good swipe at the ball. How does a V2 in X flex compare?

 

What do the pros use that seem to make these V2's so popular with them?

is it just the feel u don't like.. ball flight issues?

I sometimes feel I've gotten some "up-shoots" . And sometimes I feel it is very loose on my transition through impact.

I had the same problem with the 86g S-flex shaft in my 905R, it just felt whippy and really soft at the bottom of the swing. Ball flight was also very high and erratic. I've since returned to my 905S w/ graf. blue S tipped .5", and the difference between the two is notable. I also had the opportunity to hit the 66g X-flex in my buddy's 905R, and I found it to still play somewhat soft. (Full bore install). Hope this helps a bit.

ive found the V2's to be much stiffer than the NV's, at least it feels that way, it just seems that the V2 is on the stiffer end of the spectrum, while the NV's are on the softer side. my nv stiff feels more like a regular+ or a soft stiff, compared to the V2

I have also found the V2's to be on the stiff side. I use a V2 stiff in my D2 since it's a bore thru and I use a V2 X in my r7 TP 15.

Wow!!! This getting confusing. I've played the NV in S flex a lot since they came out and I love its stability/feel. It let's a hitter like myself really go after it. Since I'm no pro though I wanted to find out why it's so popular with them. I'm one of those that thinks the V2 is much softer than the NV.

 

I think I'm trying to find an NV-feeling shaft with just a little more launch. I've tried Aldila's blue Proto. Prefer the green one.
