Aldila NXT GEN NV Graphite Hybrid Shaft

The Aldila NXT GEN NV Graphite Hybrid Shaft is a modern evolution of Aldila’s classic NV line, designed to bring improved consistency, stability, and feel to hybrid clubs. It retains the proven NV profile while incorporating updated materials and manufacturing methods for better performance.

Overview

The NXT GEN NV Hybrid Shaft is built for players who prefer a balanced combination of control and distance from their hybrids. It uses a .370-inch tip diameter, compatible with most hybrid club heads, and is designed to provide a mid-to-low launch with reduced spin, ideal for penetrating ball flights.

Construction and Technology

Aldila’s NexGen Micro Laminate Technology (MLT) is at the core of this shaft’s design. It layers thin sheets of aerospace-grade carbon fiber to eliminate inconsistencies in the shaft wall, resulting in greater stability and smoother feel through impact. The constant-taper design promotes a uniform energy transfer, ensuring that each section of the shaft contributes evenly to performance. This construction produces a solid, responsive feel preferred by players seeking precision rather than excessive flex or kick.

Specifications

• Uncut length: Approximately 42 inches

• Weight: Around 86 grams (varies by flex)

• Tip diameter: .370 inches

• Butt diameter: About .630 inches

• Torque: Approximately 2.8°

• Kick point: Mid to High

Typical trimming recommendations are no tip trim for 2H–3H, ½ inch for 4H, and up to 1 inch for 5H and higher. These adjustments help fine-tune launch and spin characteristics for each club in the hybrid set.

Performance and Fit

The NXT GEN NV Hybrid Shaft suits players who want dependable, repeatable ball flight and a stable feel. It is especially effective for golfers who already play NV shafts in their woods and want matching performance in their hybrids. Its weight and stiffness provide control and accuracy for players with moderate to faster swing speeds who prefer a more penetrating flight.

It may not be the ideal choice for golfers looking for very high launch or extra spin, or for those with slower swing speeds who benefit more from lighter, softer shafts.

Summary

The Aldila NXT GEN NV Graphite Hybrid Shaft delivers the trusted performance of the NV line in a refined, hybrid-specific design. It offers a stable, consistent feel with a mid-to-low launch profile, built for players who value control and precision from their hybrid clubs. Its modern materials and proven construction make it a strong option for golfers seeking dependable, tour-level performance in the hybrid category.
