About the Shaft:
The VooDoo, introduced in 2007 was the first shaft from Aldila to feature S-Core Technology. It has a corkscrew rib on the inside of the shaft. It has a simple Flexural Signature, consistently softer down the shaft to 18” where it evenly gains stiffness toward the tip. The torque ranges from 4.5 in the 60R to 3.2 in the 70X shafts. The Aldila Voodoo profiles are consistent from weight to weight and flex to flex. The radial profiles are very good, the shaft can be installed in any orientation.
Mid launch angle Mid spin Reduced ovalization for better accuracy Internal "rib structure" increases strength/stiffness What sets the Aldila VooDoo Wood Shaft apart from others is its patent-pending S-core (stabilized core) Technology, designed to increase distance and provide outstanding accuracy with each swing. The real "magic" of the VooDoo is the high-modulus carbon stabilization rib running the length of the shaft. This innovative rib structure increases hoop strength/stiffness so much that it is 80 percent greater than conventional graphite.The increased stability allows the VooDoo to better resist shaft ovaling and deformation during the swing, which maximizes energy transfer to the ball and yields unparalleled distance and accuracy. And because the shaft's symmetry is maintained throughout the swing, it loads and unloads more consistently, enabling you to more reliably deliver the clubhead to the ball with every stroke.

Performance Everything about the performance of the VS Proto that was good is still here but the R&D boys at Aldila seem to have dug out something extra. While the S-Core has a noticeable effect of tightening up the feel, it also seems to have a similarly noticeable effect on the performance. While the trajectory of the VooDoo is almost identical to the VS Proto, the VooDoo does seem to be able to unload at impact more effectively which utimately leads to longer drives. Nothing ridiculous here, no magical extra 15 yards that some people seem to expect but another little bit of assistance towards carrying those bunkers, flying that water or driving that green.The shafts play straight to flex with just the right balance of spin – enough to keep the ball soaring but not so much that the ball can be blown about or will not bound down the fairway on landing. While versatile might be an odd description for a shaft, the VooDoo can be used by both those with smooth swings and those with a more aggressive transition. The shaft is easy enough to use without having to swing out of your shoes but is also great at higher speeds as it is incredibly resistant to being overpowered. There is a real sense of increasingly progressive loading as you swing harder, so the harder you load it, the harder it will fight back without losing any of that feel.The VS6 version weighs in at almost 70g at stiffer flexes so it should be considered first for a driver shaft and unless you are a monster, the VS7 version is best left for fairway woods as while the specs say that it shares the same launch angle as the VS6, the heavier weight and lower torque mean that it does launch lower and with a bit less spin.OverallA short period of testing shows you why the VooDoo is being so successful on Tour – a longer period leaves you in no doubt that the VooDoo will no only been seen in a lot of bags on Tour but also been seen in a lot of winner’s bags. A great combination of feel and performance that should be considered for any driver setup.Aldila have always known how to make high performance shafts and their commitment to top end shafts, while initially shown with the semi-mythical Cinnamon, has been firmly cemented with the VooDoo.For more information visit As is – No returns
