Aldila Tour Green Review – Specs, Flex, Weight

The Aldila Tour Green and Tour Blue shafts are both made with the same type of advanced graphite material that makes them incredibly strong but without adding much in the way of torque.

Aldila is known for making shafts like these that push the envelope in terms of what is possible in shaft manufacturing.

Today though, we wanted to focus on the Aldila Tour Green in particular. If you are looking for an Aldila Tour shaft with a higher launch, you should definitely check out the Aldila Tour Blue. The Aldila Tour Green on the other hand is for players who prefer a lower, more penetrating drive. But what performance benefits does the Aldila Tour Green shaft hold? What are the important specs you need to know about? Find out in the following Aldila Tour Green shaft review.

Aldila Tour Green Overview

One of the things that we liked the most about the Aldila Tour Green shafts is that they are made with high bend points which helps more players balance the load a bit better.

This also means that more players will be able to try the longer versions of this shaft.

Like many modern shafts, the Aldila Tour Green shafts are also produced using variable wall technology. This allows manufacturers to adjust the stiffness in different sectors of the shaft. In the case of the Aldila Tour Green, it has a stiff tip section to help promote a lower launch.

The Aldila Tour Green also features a constant taper design which imparts a smooth feel when you unload the shaft. The Aldila Tour Green is an excellent choice for your fairway woods, so long as you can also work with the relatively low spin rates it produces.

Why is the Aldila Tour Green So Popular?

One of the things that make this shaft a popular choice is Aldila’s special MLT production process.

MLT stands for Micro Laminate Technology and it refers to the nearly microscopic strands of graphite that were layered on top of each other to achieve unparalleled strength but without adding too much weight or torque. This makes the Aldila Tour Green shaft a great option for modern driver heads that are pretty heavy because it won’t make the club as a whole unbearably heavy.

How Does the Aldila Tour Green Perform?

The Aldila Tour Green performs well for faster swing speed players.

That’s because our launch monitor data showed that it produces a low launch and keeps spin rates well under the 2500 RPM mark. The stiff tip section is part of what helps produce the low launch.

The Aldila Tour Green also has a smooth feel. Even our slower swing speed testers were able to appreciate the smooth kick through release. Sizing up a bit with the Aldila Tour Green from your normal driver shaft length may actually help you gain some distance too. The additional weight shouldn’t be too much to bear and you may end up preferring a longer Aldila Tour Green shaft – something to discuss with your fitter at least.

Aldila Tour Green Shaft Specs Table

What flexes are available what swing speeds do they suit.

Obviously, you are going to want to stay away from Tour Flex unless you are swinging 105+ MPH.

The stiff flex seemed to be a happy medium for most of our testers who usually swing the driver between 85 and 95 MPH.

What Weights Are Available? What Swing Speeds Do They Suit?

The Aldila Tour Green 65 (66-69 grams) would be a good option for swingers in the 80-90 MPH range.

The Aldila Tour Green 75 (72-76 grams) is where you want to  be if you swing between 90 and 100 MPH. And you should look into the Aldila Tour Green 85 (88 and 89 grams) if you swing 100+ MPH.

Why is it So Good?

For us, we like the fact that advanced technology went into making these shafts light yet strong.

Aldila Tour Green First Impressions

In all honesty, we weren’t thrilled with the green color scheme.

The circuit board graphics look cool; but we aren’t partial to green as a group. Still, we were quickly impressed with the smooth feel and light weight of this shaft.

Key Features & Performance

By far, the most important feature is the Micro Laminate Technology that layers amazingly diminutive strands of graphite on top of each other. This allows for a shaft with a good amount of strength; but not too much weight.

Aldila Tour Green Driver Review

As far as driver performance goes, the Aldila Tour Green produces spin rates in the neighborhood of 2200 RPMs consistently. It also produced very controlled launch angles.

Aldila Tour Green Fairway Wood Review

If you are looking to tame spin with your fairway woods, the Aldila Tour Green would be a great choice.

Aldila Tour Green Hybrid Review

The Aldila Tour Green could work for your long hybrids if you want a smoother transition from your driver.

Aldila Tour Green Pros & Cons

• Constant taper tip
• Stiff tip area
• Low spin rates
• Controlled launch angles
• Lightweight design
• Not great if you need more air under your drives
• Better for faster swing speeds

Overall Score:  94/100

Who Should Buy it?  

We would actually recommend the Aldila Tour Green to faster swing speed players; but more specifically to fast swingers with particularly heavy driver heads.

If you want to counteract the feel and swing effects of your heavy driver head without losing any forgiveness, this would actually be a close-to-ideal option. Other than that, the Aldila Tour Green would suit players seeking low spin and low launch in a very general sense.

Aldila Tour Blue and Tour Green Shaft Review

More in reviews:.

50 Words or Less

Aldila’s latest technology comes in two distinct flavors: Green for supreme stability, Blue for a smooth kick.  A proven Tour favorite with 5 wins in its first year.

Introduction

Of late, it seems that equipment companies are putting new products on the shelves almost before their tour staff can take the wrapper off.  With the Tour Green and Tour Blue, Aldila chose a decidedly different tactic: they got tour wins (plural) before they announced the shaft to the public.

With 5 PGA Tour wins, the Aldila Tour Green and Tour Blue don’t arrive with hype, they arrive with results.  So will the #1 graphite shaft on the PGA Tour also help you improve your results?  I tested them to find out.

For fans of Aldila shafts, the Tour Green and Tour Blue will not disappoint.  The feel of these shafts, particularly the Green, brings to mind the feel of the original NV and the RIP with their focus on stability.  Neither of these shafts has a hint of twist-y, torque-y feeling to it, even when you really go after it.

Players looking for a little more kick will definitely want to opt for the Blue.  The Green is very stout and only gives a loading-unloading feel when you really attack the ball.  The Blue is responsive to more controlled swings.

Both shafts are understated with a predominantly matte grey color.  The shades of green and blue, respectively, are very cool but hard to describe.  They are closer to matte than gloss, but they have a sparkle to them.  The circuit board graphics are very minimal, as is the branding.

Performance

For this review, I tested both the Tour Blue and Tour Green at 65 grams in a stiff flex.  I found that the Tour Blue was a much better fit for me because the feel is closer to what I prefer.  With a stiff tip and a nice kick in the mid-section, I was able to produce really good launch monitor numbers and hit the ball very accurately.  I was consistently launching the ball around 13* with spin around 2400 RPMs.  More importantly, the shot shape was extremely consistent: a fairly tight draw that started just right of target.

I found the Tour Green to be a very consistent shaft, but not a great fit for my swing.  The Green is a great choice for people with very aggressive transitions, and, perhaps, more club head speed.  For me, the Green’s lack of kick made me feel like I really had to work overtime to square the club.  The launch monitor numbers for the green were still good, as was the dispersion, but not as good as the Blue.  The ball launched slightly above 14* and spin was just over 2600 RPMs.  Some will be surprised that the Green launched higher and spun more than the Blue, but this is the result of the club face being more open at impact.

I believe that with the Tour Blue and Tour Green, Aldila will be a name that is, once again, on the tongue of equipment geeks everywhere.  The different models provide very different feels which will help to fit a wide variety of players, but the common thread is consistency and tight dispersion.

Price and Specs

The Aldila Tour Blue and Tour Green can be purchased for $249.

Both the Tour Blue and Tour Green are available in 65 and 75 gram weights and flexes ranging from Regular to Tour X.

Matt, I’ve been following you since I went online for FT Optiforce reviews. I’m gaming a 440 w the Diamana S+. I picked up the 460 head as well. I recently picked up a new X2 Hot Pro head. I also saw your reviw on the Fubuki ZT. My question is how would you compare the Tour Blue vs the Fubuki Z , both in stiff. Thanks, Jeff

Thank you for your readership.

Unfortunately, I haven’t had the opportunity to test the Fubuki Z, so I can’t offer a comparison to the Aldila Tour Blue.

Matt – I recently purchased a Callaway X2 Hot Pro Driver with an Aldila ATX65 Tour Green Shaft(REGULAR). What does the 4.5 mean on the shaft? The shaft is supposed to be a midlow torque, so I don’t believe it means the shaft’s torque. Thanks for your comments on this question!

Richard McKichan

I believe that is the torque rating.

My bad. What I meant to say was I saw your review on Callaway’s Big Bertha, that comes stock with the Fubuki Z. However I understand you were reviewing the driver, not that shaft. Thanks for the great reviews!

I currently use a Taylor-made burner super fast driver. I am looking to buy a Callaway x-2 hot driver but, i not sure about switching from a steel shaft driver to a graphite shaft driver. i am 61 years old and have a swing speed around 90. I would appreciate your feedback.

I would recommend just going to a store or range and giving it a try. Outside of telling you that graphite will be lighter, there’s not much I can say about the differences you will feel.

Thanks for the review. I’m 59 with a mid-90’s SS, a 6 handicap, a quick transition and medium trajectory. Not sure where I’d be able to test these shafts so I’ll ask. The Tour Green stiff is probably too stout for me unless I go regular. But I’m concerned with ballooning on the regular Tour Blue.

How stout is the Tour Blue stiff?

Thanks, Mark

The Tour Blue feels fairly smooth to me, but that’s obviously personal. If you find a top end club fitter like Club Champion in your area, they should have these shafts available for you to try.

I have a titelist 915 D2 with a Diamana 60 gram Reg shaft and was offered a Aldila Rogue 70 gram Reg shaft 3.7 and 95msi. Iplay off 6 and have a highish ball flight, will I loose distance or will the heavier shaft still be good

The only way to know is to try it or to get a fitting. Anyone who tells you that they can answer that question over the internet is delusional at best.

I have a Tailor made M2 driver and I like the Aldila shafts I kept My trinity shaft 65g R and I wonder if is ok for the tailor made with a lighter driver head or I need to change to the later models like the tour Blue or Green your opinion will be very helpful. Regards Mike

The Trinity will “work” in a lighter head, but you’ll have a lighter swing weight and the shaft may feel a bit stiffer.

Hi Matt, what is the weight (grams) of the Aldila Rogue Tour Green ATX 55 graphite shaft which plays at 45.75 inches? I’m guessing 55 but need to be sure. Thanks so much. Scott

It should be around 55 grams, though I couldn’t tell you exactly to the gram.

Aldila TOUR GREEN Driver Shafts - Graphite - .335 Tip

Write a review.

• Create New Wish List

Description

Aldila Green Driver Shafts are designed to maximize a players power based on their individual player profile. The Green comes in three weight groups with four flex options to choose from. Aldila engineered the Green Driver Shaft using Micro Laminate Technology (MLT), an ultra thin and very light material that is also super strong to help ensure stability and consistency in the shaft.

Aldila ‘Tour Blue’ and ‘Tour Green’ shafts

When designing its newest line of shafts, the “Tour Blue” and “Tour Green,” Aldila sought inspiration from its most successful platform, the NV shafts it released to tour players more than 10 years ago.

The NV shafts were made using the company’s Mico Laminate Technology, which means that extremely thin, high-quality layers of graphite were stacked on top of each other to make a shaft that felt smooth and performed more consistently.

A lot has changed in the golf industry in 10 years, but one thing that hasn’t changed is golfer’s appreciation of consistent, smooth-feeling shafts.

For all the technology that went into the new shafts, their design differences are simple. The Tour Green shafts have a stiffer tip section, which creates the low-launch, low-spin conditions that tend to work well with today’s drivers. The Tour Blue shafts have a softer tip section that launches the ball higher and with more spin, making them a good fit for fairway woods.

So what has made the Tour Blue and Tour Green two of the most popular shaft models on tour in 2013? According to John Oldenburg, vice president of engineering for Aldila, it’s the same reason that the NV shafts were so popular on tour — high-quality materials that create smooth feel and consistency.

Oldenburg said the Tour Blue and Tour Green shafts are the most consistent shafts his company has ever produced. They use what he said are the thinnest materials available, graphite fibers that are between three one-thousandths and five one-thousandths of an inch thick, which makes them better in two ways:

• Because graphite shafts are built in layers, their manufacturing always results in a bit of overlap (often referred to as a shaft’s seams). Using thinner materials allows the seams to stay thin. When those seams are balanced throughout the shaft, as Aldila does with its Micro Laminate Technology, it results in a shaft that has more consistent wall thicknesses.
• Since the graphite fibers are thinner, they also need less resin, or glue, to be held together. According to Oldenburg, resin is the weak link of graphite shaft design, because it is much more flexible than the graphite fibers it holds together. With less resin, Aldila can make shafts that are lighter, stiffer and lower in torque.

Aldila engineers also made the Tour Blue and Tour Green shafts with a balance point that is closer to the handle than its NV shafts, which helps balance out the heavier weight of today’s driver heads. It also allows golfers to play the longer-length shafts that have become more common in the industry, yet still keep the swing weight of the club in the D2-to-D5 range that most golfers are comfortable with.

“Before adjustable drivers … features that added weight to the head … drivers used to weigh between 198 and 202 grams, and measure between 44.5 and 45 inches long,” Oldenburg said. “Now they’re between 206 and 2012 grams, are are 45 to 46 inches long.”

The last, and maybe most important finishing thing for the sales of the Tour Blue and Tour Green shafts are the color-coded circuitboard graphics near the handle, which Oldenburg said he hopes communicate to consumers the high-tech materials and construction used to make the shafts.

“Technology stories like Micro Laminate are hard to tell,” Oldenburg said. “This is a very high-tech product, but unfortunately it still looks like a stick and it has to by the rules of golf. With the circuitboard look we’re saying, ‘Hey, there is technology in this.'”

The Tour Blue and Tour Green shafts will be released on Sept. 15 and carry an MSRP of $349. Aldila will initially release both models in a 65-gram version in R, S, X and TX flexes. In January, Aldila plans to release the 75- and 85-gram versions of the shafts.

I am looking for 5.5 rifle shafts ( project x)

Jun 15, 2013 at 1:37 am

I wonder what it actually costs Aldila to make these shafts. One used to be able to purchase a high end shaft at a reasonable price. They talk about the original Aldila NV green shaft. I recall that shaft starting out at around $88. After about a year, the price had dropped to around $54 after newer models (not necessarily better) had entered the Aldila group. The UST ProForce (gold and purple) shaft was super popular for years, and it sold for around $34. The Grafalloy Prolite was the most popular shaft for several years, and it sold for $45. So what exactly makes these cost $350, other than that other companies are charging that much for some of theirs? Wonder how long it will be before we see a similar looking shaft in OEM drivers, but the shaft will say “designed exclusively for (insert name of company making driver)” rather than it actually being the “real deal” shaft.

Jun 18, 2013 at 9:29 pm

You are so right. The specs may even be the same so what exactly is the reason the price has gone crazy? In some cases, OEM’s have the EXACT shaft in their stock equipment and you can buy an entire club for the same cost as the shaft. This has nearly totally eliminated reshafts. When they stop making some of those more reasonably priced shafts, we’ll just throw away a driver with a broken shaft. It will be silly to repair it when you can just buy a newer version.

Jun 14, 2013 at 12:23 pm

Sad to hear they are designed to swingweight properly in 45-46 inch drivers. That is the standard now?

Look at the guys on tour, they are almost all between 44 and 45 inches.

Jun 14, 2013 at 12:32 pm

While they’re deesigned to play in longer lengths, like all shafts they can be cut down to play shorter – you just need to add weight to the head to get the swingweight you desire. This can be done in many ways – shaft insert weights, adjustable / removable weights, or hot melt in the head. I’ve done all 3 – but usually not all on the same club!

Jun 14, 2013 at 1:52 pm

I have no interest in making the head even heavier and/or messing with the club heads center of gravity. If i’m dropping this kind of dough I think slapping tape in various areas should not be necessary.

Jun 14, 2013 at 12:47 am

Yeah, I was really hoping this would be like a $150 type of shaft. 3.5 bills is just way to much for a shaft IMO…Looks sweet though,kudos to Aldila.

Jun 12, 2013 at 10:15 pm

And they join the 300$ shaft prices..

Good for them… Bad for the public

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

• PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
• driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300.  The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length.  I am playing a Ventus Red 70.   I play 70 grams in my fairways.  I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee.  When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time.  So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck.  The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
• JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”

“The Aldila Tour Blue is moderate stiff tip shaft and very low torque designed for a slightly higher ball flight with low to moderate spin rate,” said Stewart Bahl, Aldila’s Marketing Manager. “The Tour Green is a stiff tip shaft with moderate torque designed for lower/penetrating ball flight producing a lower spin rate. The shaft profiles have a constant taper to provide exceptional feel and a smooth, controlled release.

Looks like an awesome set up Hawk! Looking forward to seeing how this works for you!

That's a good looking shaft, Hawk. Really intrigued by it, looking forward to hearing how the launch is.

shaft looks pretty cool the way it blends to the matt gray, interested to hear your thoughts!

Sweet looking shaft. Let me know how it performs for you. I myself have a high trajectory so most likely would be looking at the Tour Green. I'm Just Tap Tap Tapping...

I have many leather-bound books

looks really good Hawk. Can't wait to hear more about the launch compared to others and some tech behind it.  

Here for the Conversation

Nice Hawkster, you know from when we talked that I'm eager to here more about this one, some solid play for the green and blue already definitely catches my eye to see just what they can do.  

Hawk do you know what these would retail for?

Definitely will be following along with this. I love the look of these shafts.  

Cool looking shaft! Looking forward to hearing how this one plays for you.  

My Friends Call Me Big Time

Interesting shaft work and blend. Love the blue. Also interesting to hear about this as I too look for higher launching wood shafts.  

Wow, the blue really pops in those pictures. I've been considering a higher launching shaft for my driver, I'll have to give this a look.

Hit a bunch of balls with this installed in two drivers last night - X-Hot (11.5° O Setting) and XH Pro (10.5° S setting). I brought along the White Tie (my gamer) as a 'control' shaft to compare against, but didn't really end up using it all that much. Mainly because I'm lazy and switching shafts isn't nearly as fun as hitting balls. Not big on saying a bunch after just one range session, but I did have some thoughts to take away. For whatever reason, it balances out differently than my gamer in hand. No clue why, but it is noticeable when waggling the club. To me, the head seems heavier. That's a good thing in my book. Felt stiffer than I expected for a tip soft shaft, but I expect those that like firm tips to say it feels soft to them. I was really surprised just how much ball height and trajectory is dependent on the head I'm using. In the O setting, the X-Hot should play basically the same loft as the XHP in the S setting, but the ball flights couldn't have been more different. Definitely a higher ball with the XH. the XHP had a more penetrating, rising trajectory to it and maxed out in the mid-high range (unless I left the face open too far). Interestingly, carry distance was almost identical between the two though. Go figure. I didn't notice a lot of difference in trajectory between the ATX and my gamer. Very unique feel to the ATX. It had a very evident kick at impact that I noticed right away. It can be hard for me to describe shaft feel, especially early on, but I'll keep an eye on that as time goes on. Distance and dispersion were spot on with what I've come to expect from the X-Hot. No real difference there. Didn't notice a difference with the XHP either, but admittedly I've only had the driver for a week. Based on what I saw I believe I'll take the XH/ATX combo to the course this weekend and see what comes of it. Early results were good. Looks good, feels good, performs like I'm used to.

A driver shaft can feel a bit stiffer with a tip soft shaft because of where the balance point is. The flex being stiffer in the hands attributes to that. To give you an example, if you waggle a Kusala Black and a Kusala White, the black will feel a bit softer despite the fact that the white offers considerably more flex in the tip.

@andrewcoers

I was about to say Hawk you better bring that on Sunday when we play. I want to check those shafts out. Idk if you have any for Cobra AMP Cell but would deffantly be interested in trying some different ones.  

Sorry, no AMP shafts here buddy. You are welcome to take some swings.

These are great shafts Ryan. I have been using them since back end of May. When I had my R9 TP I had the RIP Alpha installed and hit it really well. Went to R11-S V2 and the Alpha did not suit it at all so got a white Beta. The problem with that was that being a higher launch shaft, it sometimes gave rise to some real 'space shuttle' like launchers. Well I managed to get a hold of both the ATX Tour Green and Blue thinking that the Green was going to be the baby for me. Yes it was much lower launch than the RIP Beta. The Blue on the other hand was not as low as the Green but still lower than the Beta. After trying both on all manner of settings I came to the conclusion that the Blue was more suited to my swing/R11S combo. Just more consistent for me than the Green. The R11S with the Blue installed is way better than the Beta as it has a mid launch with VERY penetrating flight. One thing that I may well try over the winter is putting a Green one in but in S Flex rather than the X that I normally use. The inconsistency that I have encountered with the X Green may be that I am not loading the shaft as well as the Blue one. Having a softer flex may mop this error up. I would certainly recommend trying these if you are in the market for a top notch shaft upgrade. El Bandito and MAV can testify as to the long penetrating flight of this club/shaft combo as they saw it last Sunday.  

Great info RR! Thanks for sharing that. I'm looking forward to getting it on the course this weekend, as well as a Vector whenever I find the time. It was surprising to me what a difference the head made in terms of trajectory. I probably shouldn't be, but it was a pretty big difference. Big thing for me with the slightly lower trajectory coming off the XHP is whether or not I'm able to keep enough spin.

Theatres in Moscow

Cultural life of Moscow city is various and rich! Operas, ballets, symphonic concerts... Russian composers have created some of the most beautiful classical music. Russian classical music is very popular in Moscow. It is performed in many beautiful historical venues. Do not forget to include a visit to a concert hall in your itinerary when you are planning your stay in Moscow! And do it in advance.

There are almost no restrictions on dress code in Russian theatres. Visitors may wear jeans and sports shoes, they may have a backpack with them. Only shorts are not allowed.

A typical feature of Russian theatre – visitors are bringing a lot of flowers which they present to their favorite performers after the show.

Here are some practical advices where to go and how to buy tickets.

The Bolshoi Theatre

The Bolshoi Theatre is the oldest, the most famous and popular opera and ballet theatre in Russia. The word “Bolshoi” means “big” in Russian. You can buy a ticket online in advance, 2-3 months before the date of performance on the official website . Prices for famous ballets are high: 6-8 thousand rubles for a seat in stalls. Tickets to operas are cheaper: you can get a good seat for 4-5 thousand rubles. Tickets are cheaper for daytime performances and performances on the New Stage. The New Stage is situated in the light-green building to the left of the Bolshoi's main building. The quality of operas and ballets shown on the New Stage is excellent too. However, you should pay attention that many seats of the Bolshoi’s Old and New Stages have limited visibility . If you want to see the Bolshoi’s Old Stage but all tickets are sold out, you can order a tour of the theatre. You can book such a tour on the official website.

If you want, following Russian tradition, to give flowers to the performers at the end of the show, in the Bolshoi flowers should be presented via special staff who collects these flowers in advance.

In August the Bolshoi is closed.

The Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Music Theatre

This theatre is noteworthy. On one hand, it offers brilliant classical opera and ballet performances. On the other hand, it is an experimental venue for modern artists. You can check the program and buy tickets online here http://stanmus.com/ . If you are opera lover, get a ticket to see superstar Hibla Gerzmava . The theatre has a very beautiful historic building and a stage with a good view from every seat. Tickets are twice cheaper than in the Bolshoi.

The Novaya Opera

“Novaya” means “New” in Russian. This opera house was founded in 1991 by a famous conductor Eugene Kolobov. Its repertoire has several directions: Russian and Western classics, original shows and divertissements, and operas of the 20th and 21st centuries. It is very popular with Muscovites for excellent quality of performances, a comfortable hall, a beautiful Art Nouveau building and a historic park Hermitage, which is situated right next to it. You can buy tickets online here http://www.novayaopera.ru/en .

Galina Vishnevskaya Opera Center

The Opera Center has become one of the best theatrical venues in Moscow. It was founded in 2002 by great diva Galina Vishnevskaya. Nowadays its artistic director is Olga Rostropovich, daughter of Galina Vishnevskaya and her husband Mstislav Rostropovich, great cellist and conductor. Not only best young opera singers perform here, but also world music stars do; chamber and symphonic concerts, theatrical productions and musical festivals take place here. You can see what is on the program here http://opera-centre.ru/theatre . Unfortunately “booking tickets online” is available in Russian only. If you need help, you can contact us at and we can book a ticket for you. 

Tchaikovsky Concert Hall and The Great Hall of Moscow Conservatory

These are two major concert halls for symphonic music in Moscow. Both feature excellent acoustics, impressive interior, various repertoire and best performers. You can check the program here http://meloman.ru/calendar/ . You need just to switch to English. Booking tickets online is available only for owners of Russian, Ukrainian and Belorussian phone numbers. If you need help, you can contact us and we can book a ticket for you. 

Moscow International Performing Arts Center (MIPAC)

This modern and elegant concert hall houses performances of national and foreign symphony orchestras, chamber ensembles, solo instrumentalists, opera singers, ballet dancers, theatre companies, jazz bands, variety and traditional ensembles. Actually, it has three concert halls placed on three different levels and having separate entrances. The President of MIPAC is People’s Artist of the USSR Vladimir Spivakov, conductor of “Virtuosy Moskvy” orchestra. You can see pictures of the concert halls here http://www.mmdm.ru/en/content/halls . The program is impressive in its variety but is not translated into English. You can contact us at and we can find a performance for you.

Aldila ATX Tour Blue Shaft Review

Appearance:  Very nice looking shaft with clean graphics and crisp colors.  The matte finish should not show quite as much bag rash.

Flexes Available:    R,S,X and TX in both the 65 and 75 gram.

MSRP:  $349.00 USD

Availability:   Directly from Aldila, or from a variety of fitters and some retail golf stores.

Weight Consistency:   4.5 out of 5

Butt Stiffness (CPM):  Consistent increase in CPM from R through X.  TX tests the same as X so only difference is torque.  Consistency is 4.5 out of 5.

Tip Stiffness:   Mid-Soft

Mid Stiffness:  Mid-Soft

Balance Point:  Will yield an average swing weight.

Torque:   Good transition of higher torque in R flex to lowest torque in TX flex.  Mid-high torque rating on average:

SQI (Shaft Quality Index):  93.6 out of 100  (Above Average)

Trajectory:  Launch angle is mid-high.  Tested against other mid-high launch shafts, the Tour Blue was .5 degrees higher launch.

Spin:  Mid spin.  The spin rate on the Tour Blue was a little lower than we expected.

Feel:  Solid feel for the lower swing speed testers.  Feels like a two-piece shaft with a hinge kick at the bottom.  Higher swing speed and faster transition testers said the shaft felt loose during the downswing.

General:   Three out of four raters felt there was a little looseness in the feel of the Tour Blue.   Raters had driver swing speeds from 79 mph to 110 mph and had shafts that  were matched to their swings.  Personally, I would like to see an 85 gram shaft as that weight would work better in fairway woods for higher swing speed players.
