My two cents. I bought the newton 3 dot in November of 24 when they had a brief 2 for 1 deal. It was a great buy at that price . I put one of em in a KE 4 max and one in a Callaway Paradym .They played identical. Being a full blown maltby junky I hate to admit it but the Paradym FELT slightly better for me , perhaps it was the more muted sound. I subsequently sold the Max with the Newton and kept the Callaway as my gamer. It is still in the bag and I really like the shaft. The dispersion with this shaft is very tight. The feel is unique in that you cannot maximize its potential by jumping on the shaft. Smooth is not my strong suit but this shaft has required me to slow down and smooth out my tempo. It has some pop if you just allow the shaft to flow. That being said , I don’t feel like it is really worth $ 300. Great shaft but ??? Some may feel it is worth the price , I wouldn’t buy another at that price.
