Hi does anyone have any experience of these, I know that the NVS produces a higher ball flight but thats all I can find
Aldila NV or NVS

i think the NV is a top quality shaft, and has only just been replaced by Aldila. you can pick them up very cheap online.
If you have a high balloon flight, this definitely helps.
Never used the NVS.

In order of launch hight from low to high
Nv
Nvs

I have a nvs in my hybrids and they are great shafts for the price. The nvs does launch high but with great trajectory. I spin the be-jesus out of the tm hybrid stock sjaft

cheers guys, yeah my ball flight is to high so I think the NV it is. Can get a brand new one with grip and adapter for my R11 for £50, moving from regular to stiff as well which should help

Thats quite a coincidence. I know two people with this shaft in their driver and they are both r11's

As a generalization the NVS is built to become more flexible from center to tip, if the player has a faster SS with a later release into impact will produce a higher flight through more spin but also that depends on AoA & spin loft, than the slightly more center to tip stiffness of the NV.
Not that much in it between the two shafts in the flex, as in the bend profile numbers assuming both shafts of similar weight & in Stiff flex.
The biggest difference to what happens through the strike is the tempo & where in the arc coming into impact the players normal release position is.
Depends on the SS & where the stress on the shaft is through the load & release in the players swing motion. Likely that a player with a slower 85mph-ish smooth tempo swing, both the NV & NVS would probably feel too stiff, or at least even if they felt okay in a blind trial without LM 'numbers' neither of them would really be delivering optimum results for the swing speed or type of swing.
Approaching the 100mph mark if it was an aggressive swing motion with a later release both shafts would probably feel a ways too flexible, but that swing speed with a smoother slightly earlier release either shaft could produce good numbers.

Beware made for versus real NV and NVS. The real ones come in models ending in -5, the made for usually end in -0. There will be a difference in flex and playing characteristics between the two. Some old TM clubs definitely used made for versions.
If the shaft suits, doesn't matter, but switching from one to the other may cause problems.
