Aldila NVS or Grafalloy ProLaunch?

I'm going to upgrade from the stock shaft on my Nike SQ (10.5*). I've hit both and like both, just don't know which I should go with.
Looking at both in Stiff flex/65g.

Handicap= 8
Swingspeed= ~100mph
Avg. carry= ~250 yards

i personally like the prolaunch much better. to me it's a more stable shaft at impact. the nvs stiff is a pro launch regular.

Absolute,

I will vote but would like to have a few questions answered if you could.

Would you consider yourself an aggressive or smooth swinger?

What is the flex of the shaft you have installed right now?

What is your typical ball flight with the current setup?

What ball flight are you looking to get from your new setup?

Do you tend to unload your wrists during swing, early or late?

What is your average roll distance with your current setup?

Absolute,

Thanks for the replay and I will Vote the NVS as it will give you a higher ball flight for most smooth swingers and suggest looking at the 65.

A few other suggestion would be ....
Vista Pro 60
AccuFLEX Icon V3
AccuFLEX AccuLAUNCH 60

I would give it my top choice as well.

Definitely a shaft with a nice silky feel to it.

If you want to put an Aldila shaft in your driver, go with the NV, not the NVS. If you already have a 10.5* then you will already be getting probably some good heighth/carry on your ball. If you have a soft tip you are going to hit it higher. I would go with a regular mid tip NV.
