Who It's For
Good fit if you...
- Swing under about 95 mph and want help getting the ball up
- Want a light, counterbalanced shaft that is easy to swing faster
- Play ladies, senior or regular flex
- Want a high-launch driver or fairway build
Not the right fit if you...
- Swing over about 105 mph
- Already launch the ball too high
- Want a heavier shaft (60 g and up)
- Need X or tour flex
How It Plays
UST rates every Helium NCT build high launch. The shaft weighs 44 to 56 g, and its counterbalanced design moves weight toward the handle, which UST says reduces club heft so you can swing faster with the same effort.
UST's Nanocore Technology and lower-resin carbon fiber keep the shaft light while adding stiffness in key areas for stability. The 4 series runs 44 to 45 g with 6.2 torque; the 5 series runs 52 to 56 g with 6.0 torque.

| Helium NCT 5 | A (F2) | 52 | 6.0 | High |
