The Aldila Rogue Infinity is extremely counterbalanced, which can help players raise their angle of attack. Stable and consistent. Mid launch and spin.
Introduction
If you’re a bit newer to the world of golf equipment, “Aldila Rogue” may not have much resonance for you. However, if you’ve been living in this corner of the internet for well over a decade, you remember a time when the Aldila Rogue family was everywhere. Every major driver had a stock Rogue variant, and Rogues piled up over 70 professional wins. This year, the name is back with Aldila Rogue Infinity. I got to test the first new Rogue in several years to see if it signals a rebirth of this flagship line.
Looks
At first glance, there’s nothing too special about the look of the Aldila Rogue Infinity shaft. It’s black with white and red graphics. However, a closer look reveals that it’s not just black. The upper half is matte black while the lower half is a premium ion-plated black. It’s a very subtle, very cool design.
The graphics are big and bold, popping off the matte black. A red ∞ wraps around the shaft just below the grip. The Rogue branding incorporates the infinity sign in place of the “o”. There is no true “logo down” installation, but the underside of the shaft has a lighter Rogue logo, as seen above.
Feel
Having glimpsed over the tech notes for the Aldila Rogue ∞, I was very excited to get this shaft to the range. Per Aldila, it’s “extremely counterbalanced” and the “best feeling” Rogue due to the Dual Torque Core.
When I started swinging the Aldila Rogue Infinity, all I could feel was the first part of the description – “extremely counterbalanced.” This is the most counterbalanced shaft that I can remember. The head feels very light, and swinging it feels effortless.
As I continued my testing and focused on the shaft’s movement, I found a similarity to the Rogue Silver 130 MSI [review HERE]. It sits just on the stable side of center – not harsh or stout, but not very active, either. The stability will give you the confidence to put all your effort into the “effortless” weighting.
Performance
If you’re going to bring back a legendary name, you might as well go big. Aldila did just that with their claims about Rogue Infinity, citing advantages like “tighter dispersion, better consistency swing-to-swing and increased club head speed.” Delivering one of those would be good, two great, and all three a cause for everyone to run to their fitter.
When I started testing the Aldila Rogue Infinity, one thing I saw right away was the boost in my angle of attack. One of the promises of counterbalanced shafts is that it will raise your angle of attack. This is not true for everyone – there are no ironclad rules in club fitting – but it certainly worked for me in this instance.
You might ask, “Why would it be beneficial to raise your angle of attack?” Answer: because, all else equal, it will raise your launch and lower your spin, which should lead to longer drives [full explanation HERE]. But, like everything else in golf, that is only good to a point. You can launch the ball too high or spin it too little. Knowing where to find that happy medium with angle of attack, launch, and spin is where a professional club fitter comes in.
Getting back to the Aldila Rogue Infinity, I found it to be impressively consistent. Good strikes launched on a medium trajectory with mid-low spin and minimal curve. My speed didn’t go beyond my normal range, but I was hitting my top end with less feeling of effort. The only negative is that – because I already have a pretty high, positive AoA – I was hitting a lot of thin shots due to excessively high AoA. After a little experience, I made some set up adjustments to negate this problem.
The Aldila Rogue Infinity is offered in 50, 60, 70, and 80 grams. At 50 grams, every flex is available – TR, TS, and TX. The 60 and 70 gram versions have TS and TX. Only TX flex is available at 80 grams.
Conclusion
If you’ve been struggling to optimize your driver distance, the new Aldila Rogue Infinity is definitely something you should test. For me, the extreme counterbalancing noticeably boosted my angle of attack, leading to higher launch and less spin on my best strikes. Work with your Aldila fitter to see if this shaft can help you get the maximum distance out of your swing speed.
