Aldila Rogue Silver 110 MSI Review – Specs, Flex, Weight
Adding distance to your drive is about more than squaring your shoulders and swinging the club fast.
Your gear has to be working with you – not against you. If you are trying to enhance your long game, you have to look at the driver shaft you are using. While there are a lot of options out there, Aldila is a great brand to start researching
Aldila has more tour-validated shafts than any other manufacturer. Today, we will be taking a look at the Aldila Rogue Silver 110 MSI – a very exciting shaft that is said to provide similar feel and performance to the Limited Edition Rogue.
The Limited Edition Rogue shaft is definitely reserved for better players and can be seen on tour. But if you are looking for a more affordable option, the Aldila Rogue Silver 110 MSI is a great alternative. But who is this shaft really for? Can it really benefit your long game? Let’s talk about it.
Aldila Rogue Silver 110 MSI Overview
In 2023, it’s no longer accurate to simply classify shafts as “steel” or “graphite.
” That’s because manufacturers are using new, composite and almost space-age materials to produce shafts. The Aldila Rogue Silver 110 MSI is a perfect example of this upward shift.
The Aldila Rogue Silver 110 MSI is technically a graphite shaft; but it also uses pitch fiber which has a very favorable strength to weight ratio – even better than carbon fiber. Pitch fiber is also very resilient. It’s a sort of composite of graphite and carbon fiber. In any case, the pitch fiber construction of the Aldila Rogue Silver 110 MSI gives it a smooth feel and a smooth kick point.
The Aldila Rogue Silver 110 MSI also has a stiff tip section and a high balance point thanks to variable wall thickness that gets a bit stiffer towards the butt as well. What you end up with is a shaft that has a less rigid mid-section which is what a lot of better players prefer because it allows you to load and unload the shaft optimally.
Why is the Aldila Rogue Silver 110 MSI So Popular?
Probably because it is something of a replica of the Limited Edition Rogue shaft.
Average golfers have a tendency to want to play what they see the pros play. But the Aldila Rogue Silver 110 MSI also has advanced constituent parts that make it perform up to the standards of better players.
Plus, you get the low launch and low spin numbers that are more suitable to players with faster swing speeds.
How Does the Aldila Rogue Silver 110 MSI Perform?
The Aldila Rogue Silver 110 MSI provides a lot of stability to your drives.
It feels stable to the point where you can feel that you can take your full swing without fear of putting the ball off-line. The Aldila Rogue Silver 110 MSI also has a naturally low launch and keeps spin very low.
For the most part, our testers were seeing spin rates in the 2200 RPM region with launch angles around 14°. Distance was pretty average for most of our testers. In other words, the Aldila Rogue Silver 110 MSI didn’t provide a dramatic boost in the average drive distance of any of our testers.
Still, they noted that the feel was very solid and smacked of a premium, tour-validated shaft.
