Who It's For
Good fit if you...
- Want more height without adding spin
- Play X flex at about 68 g
- Like an active feel with more kick
Not the right fit if you...
- Already launch the ball high
- Need R or S flex: we build this one in X only
How It Plays
Aldila designed the Ascent to add launch without the extra spin that more loft or a softer shaft can bring. Its Impact Stabilization Zone pairs a stiffer section with a band of heavier, tungsten-infused prepreg.
Aldila says this keeps a lively feel and higher launch while holding the head stable and transferring energy at impact.
The 60 X weighs 68 g with 4.8 torque, a 0.614" butt and a mid kick point.
