Rogue Silver 125msi 70tx... What's similar?

Barfolomew · May 8

So I miss using my old Rogue Silver 125msi 70tx with Driver..... was very controllable/accurate..... Using Ventus Black 70x now and not as consistent.

Any of you know what is similar to that oldie but goodie? Can't find any around lol

Sorry, can't help. I'm here to say, though, that I'm still loving my Rogue Silver 125. A great shaft indeed. If I were you, I'd be watching eBay...

I had the same exact shaft in driver many years ago. Currently play the AD VF-7TX. Looks like the EI profile of the Rogue Silver 125 is stiff/soft/stiff. Kiyoshi Black and Diamana ZF have very similar EI profile so I would recommend testing those first.

Isn't there a "similar" shaft made nowadays.... it was so good how can it not be copied etc...?

Or the fact there are 1000s of shafts out and just by sheer statistics there's one like it lol.

Diamana ZF or Kiyoshi Black. Both can be had for reasonable price these days. Another similar shaft EI profile wise that comes to mind is the RDX Blue where it's tip and handle stiff but then it gets soft in the mid. However, it's counterbalanced. All three shafts are mid-low/low.

My impression is that the 125 Rogue was bifurcated into the 130 White and 130 Silver in TX. 130 Silver TX will be slightly tighter/low launching/less counterbalanced, 130 White TX will be slightly more active/higher launching (though not as much as 130 Black)/more counterbalanced.

Either 130 silver (untipped) or 130 white (tipped) would get you close, but feel is not quite the same as 125.

Aldila’s Tour Green is a similar profile, as is Ventus TR Black. But neither may feel quite the same as Rogue 125. Would recommend Ventus TR 6x (possibly tipped) relative to Rogue 125 7TX.

Personally, I moved from 125 70TX (tipped 0.5-0.75”) into Rogue Silver 130 70TX (untipped) in the driver. Newer version is working for me, but it’s not quite the same feel as the cult classic, which I still play in several fairway woods.

If what you liked about 125 is the counterbalanced/active hinge (with stability), I’d recommend 130 White TX. If what you liked about 125 is the stability (with some feel), I’d recommend 130 Silver TX.

I game the Silver 125 70TX. Have two of them. There is nothing like it that I have found. It was an $800 shaft at the time, and its unique feel may be as much about materials as profile or torque. Tour Green is great in 105TX hybrid, but IMO not as good in driver/ fairway. VS Proto in hybrid has a similar feel, as does ACCRA FX 470 M5+ in fairway. Others I have found that work for me in driver: Tensei CK PO TX. OG Graf Blue X. Accra RPG Gold 462 M5+. But I keep coming back to that 125. It's a keeper. NOTE: might want to try HZRDUS Gen 4 Blk. I hit it in 6.5 and was impressed. Stable. Good feel. Short list.

2KVX NV Green is closest, but the tour green and rogue silver 130 are also very close as mentioned. For newer shafts, the DJ shaft from LA Golf is also a "tour green" archetype

Cool, but do we know anything about the relative materials in the layups?

I don't personally, beyond what might've been available in the marketing releases

I believe that the DJ shaft has the old 16HD materials that the old Matrix shafts had. 16 sided hex whatever that Matrix claimed made their shafts stable.
