Grafalloy Pro Launch Red vs Pro Launch Red Supercharged?

What's the difference between these two? Supercharged is just a cheaper version? $14.99 at Diamond Tour.
Bought a couple hybrids (4-5) with Pro Launch Red shafts just for the heads. Took them out to hit and surprisedly hit them well. I hit my hybrids high with a fade in senior flex. These are likely R flex (no way to tell) and I hit them on a very aggressive trajectory. I'm thinking this could work very well in the 6-7-8 hybrids.
Best I can see in the PLR are $40 a shaft while the Supercharged is $14.99. Not crazy about dropping $120-$200 for 3-5 shafts for an experiment. So anybody try the Pro Launch Red Supercharged?

garyt1957 The SC is counterbalanced. I don’t think they sold well.

Any other cheaper iron shafts with stiffer tips like the Pro Launch Red?

If you could’ve bought some of those Kinetixx shafts when golfworks closed them out. Those would’ve worked well for you.

The Maltby MPF iron shaft would fit be good as a lower launching, stiffer tipped option. Also look
Into Kelly’s shafts @LogicalOne website. I wouldn’t describe to 85 or the 95 as overly stiff at all.

So I bought three of the Super Charged Red to try out. I like them fine. They don't seem to be as firm as the original PL Red I have in my 4-5 hybrids ( but I have no idea how much those are tipped or really even what flex they are), but they do lower flight some compared to the FGI plus and A flex Adams hybrids.
All in all for $14.99 they're a solid stiffer tip iron shaft. I still think I'll pick up one of the OG PL Red's and put it in one of the higher loft hybrids to compare.

garyt1957 I've built the red in a wood for my self, the blue in a wood and a hybrid for others...it's a respectable low $$ shaft in a world where anything low $$ is slowly escaping us. They aren't noodles and the red isn't rebar.
It wouldn't be fair to compare them to $150 shafts....they don't have the feel and tech of a modern higher dollar shaft. There's nothing to hate on though.

[deleted] how'd you like the red as a driver shaft? Thinking of trying one out.

garyt1957 It fine. It has a firm tip. It's slightly more lively that a NV65. I didn't have mine out this year mainly because I was liking my Fuji xlr8 shafts a lot. I would like to try one in regular flex. I wouldn't go comparing it to anything pricey as stated, but it's very good. A lot of shaft for the money.
