TaylorMade Aldila RIP 85 TP 0.355" Hybrid Graphite Shaft

Used these shafts in my irons. Better torque than steel and lighter.

Good shaft but recommended trim from the butt is an issue if you are using these for an iron set as I did. Wanting to keep the shaft label in the same location meant I needed to trim from the tip. The problem with that is there is no parallel length in the tip and in fact it has a very progressive taper. Lucy that the wall thickness is healthy as I was able to bring the tip diameters down to the required Ø .370 for my irons. This also meant that using a ferrule was out, actually I like this better anyway and they look super. To be safe, not required though, you can use a short aluminum rod as a stiffener epoxied into the end of the shaft before mounting, I didn't do this but will if I break a shaft, so far I've hit them hard and they've held up well.

Advantages: * Good shaft for low price, value shaft.
* Very nice looking.

Disadvantages: * No tip trim recommended, only butt trim.
* A bit stiff for a Regular shaft.
