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

Specs	Aldila Tour Green
Weight	66 – 89 grams
Available Flexes	Regula, stiff, extra stiff, tour stiff, tour extra stiff
Length	46”
Tip	.335”
Butt	.625” – .636”

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.

However, the advanced technology still keeps things simple. If you need a lower launching shaft that you can size up on, the Aldila Tour Green is a great option.

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

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.
