Hello- I have a set of TS-1IM in Aldila NV 85 and 95 shafts. 95 is PW/GW. I am looking at trying the Rapport Core Blue
I am interested in the comparison to the Rapport Core Blue S- flex 80 gram shaft.
Both listed as Mid trajectory.
How would you compare the two.
In comparing the Rapport core Blue S flex 80 (actual weight 85 grams) to the NV 85 S (actual weight 88 grams), the Rapport has a lightly softer profile than the NV. I looking at the butt, mid and tip sections, the overall profile is not as firm in the Rapport. Both are Mid trajectory and that is accurate based on our testing, even with the Rapport not being as firm throughout the length of the shaft. The Rapport fall on the average line of all S flex Graphite iron shafts. In other words, of all the S flex shafts we have measured, it is not on the soft side of the S or the firm side of the S flex range. It is right in the middle, average. The Aldila falls on the firmer side of the average, still within the range of all S flexes, but stiffer than average.

Rapport S is similar in profile to the Recoil 680 F4. The Rapport is slightly firmer in the butt section and the tip section, but not by much. Overall deflection is slightly more on the Recoil which does indicate it is slightly more flexible overall.

Thank you Britt- I appreciate your time. Rapport Core Blue incoming soon.
Thank you Britt– I will be trying the Core Blue. It may check all the boxes.
How would it compare to the Recoil 680 F-4. I just sold my set of TS-1 and TS-2 I had played in that shaft..
