What does everyone think?

Good price point, however, Sacks Parente is unproven in the golf shaft segment/industry.  However, I'm all about rooting for the under dog.  If you can see this Sacks Parente, I'm willing to test your 6 dot shaft and write a review, hehe.

They sell a ready built shaft but don’t let me get the length I want?

Some very interesting torque numbers.

Saw a commercial for this on Golf Channel this morning. Surprising that they didn't send any out for reviews before release. But I see some people have already received their orders, so maybe we'll start seeing some reviews soon.

This is a tale of woe.  I played one round with my Newton Motion 3 dot shaft on my Sim Max head.  Short story: loved the feel and accuracy, no significant gain in distance (but I truly felt there was more distance to be gained with familiarity).  THE WOE——getting set for my 2nd round with the Newton my golf bag tipped over and the longest club in the bag caught the cart’s edge—-Newton is now in 2 parts.  Debating whether to spring for a 2nd Newton.

Interested in this shaft if anyone has experience with it. Hearing good things about it, seems to be a similar approach to the Autoflex and/or Proxima. I had a Sacks Parente putter and it was not for me but I did admire the tech and the quality of it. Very high end.
 

The owners have been in the golf equipment biz for decades so I assume the Newton shafts are high quality, would like to hear from anyone playing it. Ken Duke gave it a rave review, said his caddie noted his driving got even better with it.

I am not sure why you had a different chart, but I got this from newtonshafts.com. I ordered 5 Dots to see how stiff it is before trying 4 Dots.

Interesting...looks like they updated a few.  The chart I posted was a screen grab from their site at the time.

Looks like John Daly is playing Newton shafts in his driver and fairway woods.
