Hi Britt. Can you somehow compare the core white vs core blue 70 TS shafts? I have a 120 swing speed and both shafts are on my radar. Which one is lower ball flight and spin?

I’m really close to Britt in swing speed. I like the core white better than the core blue. Just feels more stable in my hands. I went with 60 stiff in both the white and blue for testing purposes.
I would say the white compares closely to the aldila NV. The core white might be ever so slightly stiffer than the NV. I should’ve profiled it before I cut it.
Core White is lower flight and spin. We developed it with VA composites to be firmer in the tip section to to deliver a slightly lower ball flight and lower spin. One of the problems you get when you get into developing those types of shafts, TS or X flex’s, is that can get too firm or have a “boardy” feeling (not sure if that’s an actual word, but we use it to describe to stiff feeling). By working with the initial Blue Board profile and then tweaking just portions of it, we were able to get the Core White to the flight characteristics we wanted without making it feel “boardy”. As a side note, I just shafted up some of our new fairways with the Core White 70 TS and the results are awesome. My speed is not as high as yours (105-108 on a really good day), but I have always like firm shafts in my fairways and I think these are going to be in the bag.

Thank you! Very helpful
This is great feedback. Do you feel like it compares to any other shafts?
