The LA Golf Blue Series is a late 2025 model. Its $149 price is a change for LA Golf and will be appealing to the recreational golfer not comfortable with the $300+ prices of high end graphite shafts.

And yet, at that price, the profile the quality of the shaft is first class. It is mid soft profile, the design of choice for the recreational golfer. My experience with the LA Golf Gold Series has been outstanding. The Gold Series has a full length layer of boron delivering uncommon stability. The profiles of the Gold and Blue were so similar it prompted a phone call to my friend at LA Golf. The Blue series is made on the same mandrel with less expensive materials. It could easily become available in more weights. If your looking to upgrade your OEM driver shaft with a more consistent shaft but are not willing to get into the $350 cost of premium aftermarket shafts you should try the LA Golf Blue Series.

The LA Golf G series is now available in limited quantities.It is made on a 16 sided mandrel unlike the typical smooth mandrel. As you will hear in the video, Jeff Meyer blind tested the same materials in a smooth mandrel and the 12 sided mandrel with some of the top tour players. The feel of the 16 sided mandrel was universally prefered. He talks about some of the other technology in the shaft in this interview. Just recently, the 60-6 model arrived. Those that have tested the shaft have asked for a stiffer model.

If you want to see if a $1000 shaft works for you, schedule a fitting at the Highlands Performance Golf Center or with Fit2Score where we have the full line of LA Golf shafts in our fitting system.

LA Golf L Series Iron Shaft Review

LA GOLF L-Series Taper Iron Golf Shaft Review

Many players with wrist and forearm pain look to carbon fiber shaft to dampen the ball strike shock wave. However most carbon fiber shafts are not available in the weight range they have always played. And very few carbon fiber iron shafts are 0.355 taper tip, constant weight sets.

The LA Golf L series is a heavy constant weight set with the stiffness we would expect in the 120 gram weigh range.

LA  Golf added a new partner recently, Dustin Johnson. He has play the same shaft for many years. He now has one of the top shaft designers that I know, Jeff Meyer, working with him developing and testing profiles made to the highest radial consistencies I see. The new materials allow for unique flag layouts resulting in smoother profiles. I publish smoothed profiles here and in the professional database. But while entering the data I see the raw data profiles. What I see in the DJ Signature Series smoothed curves is not much different than I see in the raw data graphs.
