The Aldila Rogue \u221e White shaft has tremendous stability and consistency.\u00a0 Ideal for the heavy hitter and the player fighting a hook.<\/p>\n

\"Aldila<\/p>\n

Introduction<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been immersed in golf equipment for a while, you probably have history with Aldila\u2019s Rogue shafts.\u00a0 For a stretch of several years, Rogue was one of the hottest aftermarket shafts and a stock option in almost every major OEM driver.\u00a0 The launch of the new Rogue Infinity shafts sees Aldila looking to get back to those heights.\u00a0 In this, the first of four reviews, I\u2019ll take a look at the model for heavy hitters, the\u00a0Aldila Rogue \u221e White.<\/p>\n

\"Aldila<\/p>\n

Looks<\/p>\n

The graphics on the Rogue \u221e shafts are consistent across the four models.\u00a0 Moderately sized Rogue branding sits in the middle of the shaft, with the \u201cO\u201d in \u201cRogue\u201d swapped out for infinity symbol.\u00a0 Gentle topographical map graphics sit between \u201cRogue\u201d and the shaft specs.\u00a0 My favorite part of these shafts, visually, is the wraparound infinity symbol at the butt end because it\u2019s a \u201ccut out\u201d in the finish, a segment of raw graphite.\u00a0 It\u2019s a subtle difference, but I think it\u2019s very cool.<\/p>\n

\"Aldila<\/p>\n

The Aldila Rogue \u221e White is the one that calls back most directly to the Rogue shafts of old with its black, white, and silver color palette.\u00a0 I think this is a great example of a simple color scheme executed really well.\u00a0 The clean colors mesh well with the moderately busy graphics to create a shaft that looks cool without trying too hard.

\"Aldila<\/p>\n

Feel<\/p>\n

In keeping with the normal red\/blue\/white structure, the Aldila Rogue \u221e White is the stiffest (most tip stiff) member of the family.\u00a0 It also has the softest butt section of any Rogue Infinity shaft.\u00a0 During the swing, I could feel a small kick below my hands, but the rest of the shaft was quite rigid.\u00a0 The feel said, \u201cGive me everything you have, I\u2019ll keep it all in play.\u201d<\/p>\n

I was able to test the Aldila Rogue Infinity White in both Stiff and X flex, and the difference is exactly what you\u2019d expect or want.\u00a0 The shafts have the same profile \u2013 softer butt, very stiff tip \u2013 but the Stiff flex takes everything down a notch.\u00a0 It\u2019s not night and day, but there\u2019s an obvious difference when hitting them side by side. From a feel perspective, I could play either one.\u00a0 The Stiff is a bit less demanding and would be preferable on the back nine; the X flex gives me that assurance when I\u2019m swinging all out on the opening holes.<\/p>\n

\"Aldila<\/p>\n

As you can see above, Aldila puts the \u201cPrecision Stiffness\u201d code on each shaft.\u00a0 The code is consistent across flexes, at least in the shafts I\u2019ve seen.\u00a0 Going from butt to tip, with 1 being the softest and 9 being the stiffest, the Rogue \u221e White is 6-9-8, the Rogue \u221e Red is 8-8-6, the Rogue \u221e Blue is 9-5-8, and the Rogue \u221e CB is 7-7-8.<\/p>\n

\"Aldila<\/p>\n

Performance<\/p>\n

From the original NV through to the modern offerings, Aldila has always been synonymous with stability in my mind.\u00a0 These are shafts built for the fast, aggressive swingers who need a shaft to keep up and keep their wilder tendencies in check.\u00a0 By all those metrics, the new Aldila Rogue \u221e White lives up to the family name.<\/p>\n

\"Aldila<\/p>\n

The tech behind the Rogue Infinity line is Dual Torque Core, a dual-layered construction.\u00a0 This entails using full length sheets of 80-Ton Pitch Fiber in the core to \u201cmaximize energy transfer and minimize unwanted deformation.\u201d\u00a0 46-Ton Pitch Fiber is used in the angle plies to further reduce torque, making the shaft more consistent and stable.<\/p>\n

\"Aldila<\/p>\n

Practically speaking, what the Aldila Rogue \u221e White did best was rein in my wild swings and keep the ball off the left side.\u00a0 For me, it was the most anti-left shaft I\u2019ve hit in recent memory.\u00a0 With the X flex, I could fully release the club and not hit that ugly running hook.\u00a0 The flip side is that when I didn\u2019t commit to getting through the ball, I could miss big right.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite things about shafts like the Rogue Infinity White is the sense that I\u2019m fully responsible for the ball flight.\u00a0 I know exactly what it\u2019s going to do with any given swing, and I don\u2019t get weird results.\u00a0 The one thing that was a bit unusual was that I was more capable of hitting a small controlled draw than I was a small fade.\u00a0 I wasn\u2019t necessarily unhappy with that, but it was weird.\u00a0 A small fade is my go to when I\u2019m playing well, but the Aldila Rogue \u221e White gave me a fairly small window for hitting that shot.<\/p>\n

\"Aldila<\/p>\n

In terms of trajectory, the Aldila Rogue \u221e White produced the kind of piercing shots you\u2019d expect when I hit it straight.\u00a0 My pushes and cuts pushed the average spin a little higher than you might expect, but they were still far from ballooning.\u00a0 No matter what shot shape you play, this shaft can help bring ball flight down a notch.<\/p>\n

The Aldila Rogue \u221e White is available in three weight classes and six total configurations.\u00a0 In all three weight classes \u2013 50, 60, and 70 grams \u2013 Aldila offers the White in Stiff and X flex. [See Price \/ Buy<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/p>\n

Longtime fans of Aldila will be thrilled with this latest launch.\u00a0 The\u00a0Aldila Rogue \u221e White delivers the control and consistency that players remember from the brand\u2019s very best along with a sharp new aesthetic.\u00a0 For high performance without the sky high price, visit your Aldila fitter and check this out.
