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 pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:
“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly.
My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”
And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.
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.
- manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
- MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
- dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”

In our forums, our members have been reacting to a fitting session involving Mizuno’s Pro M13 and Callaway’s X Forged irons. WRXer ‘careergolfer’ recently went through a full fitting session and shared his numbers and commentary, saying:
“After playing Callaway Apex Pros for the pats 5 years, just went through a full iron fitting and thought the data was interesting enough to share. I’ve seen a lot of posts talking about fittings but not many with actual numbers, so here’s mine.
All 7-iron, same ball, same session. Final two were the ones I was choosing between:
| Club | Ball Speed | Launch | Spin | Side Angle | Carry | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current irons | 121.1 mph | 18.3° | 6,691 rpm | 0.7L | 170 | 178 |
| Callaway X Forged | 125.8 mph | 15.9° | 6,144 rpm | 2.2L | 180 | 185 |
| Mizuno M-13 | 125.8 mph | 17.9° | 6,638 rpm | 2.2L | 177 | 182 |
The consistency numbers are what actually made the decision:
| Club | Ball Speed SD | Spin SD | Total Yards SD |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current irons | 3.3 | 294 | 5 |
| Callaway X Forged | 2.0 | 211 | 3 |
| Mizuno M-13 | 1.1 | 150 | 2 |
Callaway won on distance by 3 yards but got there with a much lower ball flight (15.9° launch, 6,144 spin). The Mizuno matched my existing flight profile with nearly 3x tighter ball speed consistency.
Fitter also noted I’ve been setting up with a closed face at address to compensate for a heel-heavy dynamic lie. Ordered the M-13s 1° flat to bring impact back to neutral: the theory being if I can set up square, I can actually commit to the release. I’m not sure if this was the right call TBH but took the fitter’s guidance. I’ll see what happens.
Went with the Mizuno. Clubs aren’t in hand yet. Happy to share follow-up data once I’ve played them!”
And our members have been sharing their thoughts in response.
Here are a couple of posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- PowerCobra98: “M13 certainly performed well. Enjoy the new irons once you get them!”
- dmeeksDC: “Two completely different irons. The X Forged is a tour-type iron and would match up with the S3 in the Mizuno lineup. Not going to see a lot of M-13 on pro tours. It’s a crossover iron, three different types of construction in the same set. The M-13 would be more like the AI 150 as the M-13 7 iron is a half-hollow club versus X Forged, which is a straight up forged iron. M-13 middle irons have very thin faces, not holding up well for some buyers if you read through the M-13 thread. Hopefully Mizuno has corrected it. Given the differences in construction, that is surprising ball speed with the X Forged. To me the numbers are quite an endorsement of the X Forged considering it has no ‘tech.'”

In our forums, our members have been discussing drivers. WRXer ‘Ty-Webb’ is still playing Ping’s G400 LS driver and reaches out to fellow members saying:
“Playing the G400 LS still and wondering if newer is any better? For someone who thinks golf equipment is 90% marketing, change my mind.”
And our members have been weighing in with their top picks in response.
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.
- meliaant: “As someone who graduated from the OG SIM to the Qi10, I can you two things: 1) on-center hits are essentially identical. 2) off-center hits are wildly, absurdly better with newer drivers.”
- Golfingfanatic: “I went from the G400 to the GT2 – probably a wash distance wise from the sweet spot, but much better at handling spin off-center.. would definitely try some new stuff if you can.”
- bluedot: “Given the number of heads and shafts that are available, plus the fact that you’re talking about a 9 yr old club, plus the available fitting technology, the answer is almost certainly yes. Add to that the fact that the Ping LS models are sort of ‘specialized’ drivers, as are the Ping SFT’s; heck, you might need MORE spin! How much better is really the question, and that depends on how well suited the G400 LS is to your swing, and how you will go about finding an alternative.”

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.
