Pros have long been able to switch out shafts quickly before a tournament with the help of equipment vans. Amateurs now have the same luxury (minus the vans), thanks to a rules change allowing for more adjustability.

The Nickent 4DX Evolver driver is one of the first clubs to take advantage of the modification regulation. The club comes with two UST V2 shafts—in mid and high-launch versions—but consumers can order pretty much any shaft they want. Swapping shafts is easy, and there is a noticeable effect on ball flight—“I could see myself changing out the shaft based on the course and conditions,” says a 6.

Although there was little effect on launch angle according to the test numbers, the high-launch shaft did provide more backspin, resulting in a higher trajectory.

MSRP: $479 (four lofts, 8–12 degrees)
