Profile – The Proforce V2 line is the perfect mix between low torque and a responsive tip. UST’s challenge with this shaft was to design a product that could keep a larger head stable without a “boardy” feel. The previous UST Proforce line – known to many as the “purple and yellow ones” were solid low torque options but many people I talked to felt they lacked feel.
What Makes It Work – UST has focused the majority of their efforts on the tip section of this shaft. With input straight from the tour UST has been able to create a high performance shaft that is very versatile. The V2 has a lower torque rating than the original ProForce and is very stable for today’s oversized drivers. It manages to combine this with a fairly responsive tip section that produces a mid trajectory ball flight with low spin.
Who’s it For – UST has tried to create a V2 for everyone… the shaft is offered in 5 different models. The V2 55 is geared towards the slower swinger that wants tip stability and a higher ball flight. The V2 65 and V2 75 are designed for golfers with a quicker swing. The ball flight created by these shafts is a bit lower than the V2 55. The company also offers a V2 Lady (in a pink and purple color scheme)and V2 Junior. Like any shaft.. it’s vital that a golfer finds the right shaft for them.
What People Say – The V2 could be one of the best shafts for the price. People like the stability that it provides and are often surprised that it still offers decent feel. You’ll find the V2 available as a custom option from many leading golf manufacturers and I’ve found it works especially well in the Titleist 905R. A word of warning… most of my customers have found this to be a great driver shaft but shy away from it in their fairway woods. Consider the 65 or 55 in fairway woods… it gets the ball
up a bit quicker.
