Giveaway: Aldila Rogue 125 MSI Shafts
Aldila’s Rogue Limited Edition 125 MSI shafts are the hottest shafts on the PGA Tour, with 10 PGA Tour wins to date. They’re also very pricey — $799 MSRP — and very limited.
But we’ve got your back.
Enter our giveaway, and you can be one of five lucky GolfWRXers to win the same shafts being used by some of the best players on the PGA Tour, courtesy of Aldila.
To enter, go to our forum giveaway thread and:
- Post why you’d like to try the Rogue.
- What weight/flex you’d choose should you win.
All entries must be made by May 4 at 11:59 p.m. ET. If you’re not a GolfWRX Forum Member, join here so you can enter the contest.
Weights available: 50 (TX flex only), 60 and 70 grams. Due to the extremely limited nature of the 50TX shaft, a tour-only model at this time, only one 50TX shaft is available in this giveaway. See Aldila’s website for more information on the Rogue shafts.

In our forums, our members have been discussing the case for big irons. WRXer ‘2Down’ plays a Ping G410+ driver and has recently put Ping’s G710 irons in the bag, saying:
“Wondered how many play a large headed driver and play a draw or fade off the tee but when they pull an iron it’s some blade size thing so they can “work” the ball.
Recently I put G710 in the bag and answered my question for myself. They feel different for sure, but I am quickly adapting to only bringing the putter with me to the green.”
Our members have been discussing the combination in our forums.
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.
- Itsjustagame: “Personal preference but big irons tend to have more bounce, more offset and wider soles some or all of which may not suit a particular player.”
- Fairway14: “Driver is played from a lie with the ball sitting on a tee, irons are played from a variety of lie types.”
- J13: “They don’t really make “big” irons for players. Most have offset low CG for high launch, and super strong lofts.”
- LeoLeo99: “I love my big irons. G400. Best I’ve ever used.”

In our forums, our members have been discussing the use of 60+ degree wedges. WRXer ‘chipa’ plays a hilly course with small and hard greens and has recently ordered an off-brand 68 degree wedge to see if he can pick up 5-6 lost strokes. Our members have been commenting on the logic of using 60+ degree wedges in our forums.
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.
- PhlashPhace: “I recently made the switch from a 58 to a 60 because I was losing strokes around the green. It took me some getting dialed in from 95-100 with the 54, but now I’m much more effective around the greens, and one of the things I didn’t anticipate was I’m much better from 95 yards with the 54 because it hits and stops rather than generating tons of spin.”
- MPAndreassi: “My home course small, fast and sloping greens. When I play there, I carry a 64 degree wedge to help pop it up out of the thick rough around the greens, but when I play other courses I drop the 64.”
- Fairway14: “Cleveland RTX 64* wedge. Good for 50 to 70 yard carry shots.”
- Phil Major: “I still carry Callaway original PM Grind 64* for those shots and short side bunkers. I can’t live without my 64* wedge! You can close it a little bit to get more spins. I never need to play it open, just straight or close it.”

In our forums, our members have been responding to a driver combo which one of our members swears by. The WRXer in question is ‘QuigleyDU’ who has paired up Taylormade’s Original One (13.5 degrees) with a Fujikura Ventus Red 9x (Tipped 1″). On the combo, ‘QuigleyDU’ says he uses it as a second option off the tee and praises its launch qualities.
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.
- b.helts: “It sure looks good. I love the smaller size and the profile of the Original One. Been looking for an 11.5 to make up a short bag. But the 11.5 are rarer than hen’s teeth.”
- BlueDragonKorea: “The creativity to build this club.. wow!”
- Puttersaurus Rex: “Glad I clicked. Nice looking build! I also play driver, then OO mini. My mini is the 11.5 turned up. With Motore speeder 6.1 – not as beastly, but such a fun club. Mine is 43.5″, and is used as a safe option off the tee.”
- bladehunter: “Ventus red – the underrated red-headed stepchild of the Ventus line. I love mine in a driver. If you’re a guy who doesn’t have a positive AOA with driver, try the red. Gets it up and doesn’t spin.”

The Aldila’s Rogue Limited Edition 125 MSI would be an experience that I would probably never get to have otherwise. I love golf, along with everyone else on this website, and every time there is a chance to perform better you have to go after it. Given the opportunity to use one of Aldila’s top of the line shifts I would have to go with the Tour Silver 60 with a TR flex.

Just graduated from hickory shafts here in Australia – far from everything.
Would love to have a Aldila Rogue 125 MSI 70X in my R15.
Happy to pay the postage (steamboat or Fed-ex) if lucky enough to be moved into the modern age of Aldila Rogue.

I currently play the Rogue silver 60X and if I would win I’d like the rogue 125 TX in my 915 D2.

It would be a real treat to try out a Tour quality shaft, especially one that has been so successful so soon. I have never used anything other than a stock shaft in my driver. For me, I would like to try the TX 60.

I currently play the Adila RIP Alpha 70X I hadn’t found a shaft that yet performs as well for me. Always been an Adila fan looking to hopefully give this a try and replace my old shaft. I would choose the 70 X-Stiff.

I would love to try the 70S. I currently game the Fuji Fuel 60S, but have the Tour Blue 70S in my SLDR 3-wood and love it. I’d really like to find a great feeling shaft like the tour blue with a lower launch bias for the driver. I have experimented with the Diamana S+ 70S this year and have to dial down the loft to get a good piercing flight. This shaft would fit perfectly, I believe.

I am pretty sure I could out drive Bubba, score with the cart chicks and win mad skins at the Country Club if I could just win the Tour Silver 60 TS. Say good bye to my extra stiffy hickory shafts and say hello to my little Rogue light saber. I’m pretty sure it would look something like this on the first tee……https://youtu.be/3GJOVPjhXMY

I would like to try the 50 TX flex rogue 125 MSI. I used to own a small golf shop in huntington beach california. I remember re-shafting from dynamic gold x-100, EI-70 , taylor made bubble shaft!. I invested in a golf club company called Golfgear international until it went bankrupt. I learned a lot about modulus in golf shafting and how important it can be in shaft building. Although i stepped away from golf business for awhile now due to slow economics, I am still fascinated by the ever improving technology of golf industry especially in shaft R&D and Club head development. I would love to try the 50 TX flex and see how ultra light shaft can perform with all the technology under the hood.
2. Aldila rogue 50 TX
Thank you

I’ve struggled to find a shaft in the last 2 years that doesn’t spin too much after my voodoo xxpp7 shattered at the tip I’ve burnt through a ton and I want to try the best of the best. A rogue 125 70 tx

Would love to give this a try. I have been gaming a driver I got out of a wooden barrel 10 years ago. Everything in my bag has been updated except for my driver. My game has improved by leaps and bounds and I am finally at a point where I need a driver fit for me.
The 70 gram stiff would be ideal. I would most likely put it on a bio cell+ head.
