sdandrea1 I'm not sure if it's the shaft

Is that much heavier than what you normally play? And a stiffer flex?

    The NV is classed at 55g. The Ascent says 40g on it. Both are A flex.

      Eguller Plan to use the same NV Proto shaft I assume ?

      I will eventually, yes. I plan to keep all the shafts and heads, so I'm in no hurry to test all configs quickly. I'll be in temp living very soon for about 3 months and then moving in and setting up household, etc. I'll probably curtail the ho-ing until fall.

        sdandrea1 I got a Cally 7 wd. with the Ascent 50, A flex in it. Figured to try it before changing shafts. migawd, that shaft is nice!!

        Welp...the economy is getting ready to go to hell.

        For apples-apples comparison of the heads, gotta use same shaft. Take both shafts out. Play 9 with each. It. Is. The. WAY!

          Great idea. πŸ‘

            raggmann54 What the hell??? I was making space in my bag for them...

            I know. Sorry man. Gonna be temp living in a finished basement of a family member. Limited space, no workbench, only 1 golf bag. I have to actually behave. Come late summer, the gates will open. πŸ‘πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜‰

              sdandrea1 Actually, I'd like to have a 5&6 head to complete this set. Want to break them up?

              No, I’d rather sell the whole set. Thanks.

              No club hoeing till late summer??? If you need to borrow some of my anti-depressant or anti-anxiety meds let me know...Don't want you getting the "shakes" for the next 4 months...☺

                Thanks! Might start 🍷. Hopefully I'll be distracted by moving, home building logistics.

                Just want to say the House of Forged Ninja LD 240 I got from Logicalone is awesome. I left it uncut so the playing length is 47.5” in my G425 LST 9 degree. Much more accurate than I planned on, spin was perfect, not too low where I had to loft up and no ballooning. Looked to be long. I could play this as my gamer if I played.

                First time out with the PXG 0211 Xcor2 irons. Very happy so far. This is my first hollow body goo-filled iron and I gotta say the sound and feel is soft. I hit the front of a 158y par 3 with the 7i that rolled to the middle. That's insane distance for me (caveat: the 7i is 37.5" long and 27 degrees).Final hole today was a 115 y par 3 with a back pin. I hit the W (HIGH) to the center and it rolled just back to pin high. Again, longer distance for me. Made the 2!

                I did struggle a bit with the 7i off of the really tight lies, but once I remembered to swing the club versus hitting the ball, it performed nicely. I doubt I'll get the 6i. The SW is great as a turf wedge around the greens and works great out of the bunkers. I think I'm in πŸ’•.

                I have now "extensively" tried the Paradym X head and the Rogue ST Max Draw head on all three shafts (Cypher 40, Aldila Ascent 40 and the Aldila NV HL 50). Heads both set on -1 loft, D face angle (or lie angle?). The clear winning combo on sound, feel, distance and accuracy is the Paradym X head on the Aldila Ascent shaft.
