Looking for Insights on the Aldila Ascent 40 Shaft

I’m considering upgrading my golf club shaft and have come across the Aldila Ascent 40. Before making a decision, I’d love to hear from anyone who has used it.

Performance

How does the Aldila Ascent 40 perform on the course? I’m particularly interested in:

  • Launch angle: Does it help with getting higher launch?
  • Distance: Does it aid in gaining extra yards, or is it more about control?
  • Spin: What’s the spin rate like with this shaft?

Feel and Characteristics

Also, what’s the feel like during swings? Does it provide a solid connection and feedback? I’ve read that some shafts can feel stiff or too flexible, which can affect confidence during shots.

Comparison with Other Shafts

If anyone has tried it alongside other shafts, how does it compare? I’d appreciate any side-by-side evaluations, especially if you’ve moved from a different shaft to the Ascent 40.

Final Thoughts

In short, if you have any user experiences, feedback, or even personal reviews about the Aldila Ascent 40, please share! It would really help me—and possibly others—decide if this is the right investment for our golf game.

Looking forward to all your insights!

Wind resistance has been solid for me. I hit a number of shots that held their line even in gusty conditions. The Ascent really suits my style of play.

Sounds promising! I’m also curious about the feel of the shaft during swings. Is it too stiff or just right?

6

Not to rain on anyone’s parade, but I tried the Ascent 40 and didn’t get the distance I expected. Maybe I need to adjust my technique?

7

The feel is just right! It gives a nice feedback without being overly stiff. I found my transition to it very smooth.

It’s always a possibility! Shaft flex can really affect performance. What flex did you go for?

I went with a regular flex. Maybe that’s why? How stiff is the shaft? I thought it would give me more kick.

It’s more about finding the right fit. I use a stiff flex and it really works for me—leading to great trajectories and longer drives.

11

I totally agree! It’s fun to experiment and see how the shaft fits your game! Any changes to your accuracy?

Everyone’s swings are different! I found the Ascent to be consistent. Even if you’re coming from a different flex, it’s worth testing.
