WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The Aretera AO2 Blue pairs an active handle with a firm mid section and a stiff tip, for a stable shaft that still loads in the hands. We build the 45, 55, 65 and 75 series from flex 2 (senior) to flex 5 (x-stiff). It arrives assembled with your choice of adapter and grip, ready to attach to your driver or fairway wood head.

Good fit if you...

- Want a firm, stable mid and tip
- Want a choice of weights from 47 to 78 g
- Want a shaft with a softer tip than the AO2 Gray
Not the right fit if you...
- Want a soft, whippy tip for maximum height
- Want a stiff, boardy handle
- Need ladies flex
- Need tour X (flex 6)
How It Plays
Aretera describes the AO2 Blue section by section: active in the butt for hand feel, firm in the mid for energy transfer and torsional stability, and stiff in the tip for crisp contact.
Aretera made tip stiffness the only difference between the AO2 Blue and AO2 Gray, so the Gray's 7% stiffer tip is the step to take if you want to change launch and spin without changing feel. Weights run 47 to 78 g, with torque from 4.9 (45 series) to 3.1 (75 series).
