The Aldila VS Proto By You shaft has been classified as an NV on steroids. That may be true. Even though the NV shaft has enjoyed popularity seen by few shafts, the VS by all counts, seems to be well on its way to matching the glory that the NV has seen. Why has this shaft literally come out of nowhere to achieve greatness at such an early age?
Well, there are probably a number of reasons that make the VS Proto popular. In addition to the obvious performance improvements which culminated from 2 years of research. Continued improvements were made to the already successful Micro-Laminate Technology. Lastly, Aldila cleverly marketed the VS Proto adding "By You" to the name. The marketing seemed to work -- the VS made a big splash onto the scene, one that it continues to enjoy today.
The shaft features Aldila's exclusive Next-Generation Micro Laminate Technology (MLT), Carbon Nano Tubes combined with a propriety A65 performance resin system. In addition, the straight tapered tooling of the VS eliminates "dead zones" found in the majority of shafts today. The patented features allows for an unparalleled performance and power. Because of the high modulus graphite fibers found in the shaft, the responsiveness and feel is unmatched.
Introduced in 2006', the Aldila VS has gained in popularity. Of course, having many top tour players commend the shaft doesn't hurt. Aldila, early in its introduction, claimed the new VS was their best ever. This comment certainly got attention since the shaft maker already had a one of the most popular lines in the the NV, NVS and DVS models.
The Aldila VS shaft is designed for the higher skilled player that can generate adequate club head speed. The VS will have a slightly higher launch angle than the NV and is designed for the larger club heads. All around, this shaft is considered a premier shaft if you have the game for it.
