Aldila Nvs

The Aldila NV is far and away Aldila’s most popular shaft. The NV gained widespread popularity amongst both the PGA and the better amateur ranks. Why has this shaft been so popular and why does it favor the better player?

First of all, Aldila wanted to make a shaft that would perform on the biggest stage, the PGA tour… and boy did they succeed. The NV series is one of the most popular shafts on the PGA and Nationwide tours today. The NV plays well for the accomplished player looking for feel and optimal ball trajectory. Although the Aldila NV 65 is probably the most popular, you will find an extensive model selection. A selection that keeps the shaft in arms length for many players wanting to experience the NV magic.

Next a bit about the NV technology. The shaft features a unique Micro Laminate Technology (MDT) that provides the player uncompromising power, a consistent flex, and superb feel… a highly effective combination. The Micro Laminate Technology allows for an extraordinary slim design that provides a stable profile. This technology has allowed the shaft to be an outstanding all around performer with fantastic feel.

The NV however has a relatively low torque, which generally favors players with good club-head speed. It is because of this relatively low torque that the NV performs better for the accomplished player. Players with slower swing speeds would benefit more from a higher torque shaft, perhaps the Aldila NVS.

There are a four NV models to choose from, categorized by weight (grams). The lightest model, the NV 55, then the most popular NV 65, followed by the NV 75 and ending with the NV 85. The most popular, NV 65 fits well for most players due to its middle of the road profile. All four models are classified as a low to mid launch angle shaft. The torque starts at 3.9 for the NV 55 (exception of a more generous 4.6 for the “L” flex), down to a very tight 2.6 for the NV 85. The NV is also available in the Proto model which is definitely geared toward the highly skilled player with good club head speed, looking for a low, piercing ball trajectory.

The Aldila NV produces rockets off the tee – definitely a high-end shaft. The NV, in the right hands, will provide enhanced power, flex, and precise feel that few shafts can match. The NV will exude a confidence off the tee that will carry over to other areas of your game sure to make your buddies green with NV.
