Some THPers will have this new shaft in hand and this thread will be for their thoughts, pictures and reviews. This is the prototype that Bryson DeChambeau is currently using in his driver.

Grip installed. Shaft looks really cool with the M5 graphics.

Looking forward to getting mine in hand in the coming days... Reserving this post for some pics when it arrives.
The paint scheme is going to look amazing in the F9 avalanche. Looking forward to getting it tipped and gripped and out to the range. Should have some early intel in the next few days. Thanks to THP and LAGP for the opportunity!
I always like the shafts I played from the previous iteration of LA Golf Shafts. I am sure these will also be fantastic.
That is a great looking shaft. If it is designed to go toe to toe with the Tensei line, I am really interested in your guys' results. Is it aimed at one of the specific profiles (Blue, White, Orange)? Could have missed that part if it was mentioned.
That is the most Bryson looking thing I've ever seen. Awesome.
Going straight in with my install at 45". Cant wait to see what this is all about over the weekend.
Dude, work is just....I had plans to drop off my clubs today for servicing...well, looks like I'm at work til 8pm tonight. Killing me. But the weekends, I try. Itll be my 4th round this weekend. Driver swing still is good.You still play golf? Looking forward to your thoughts

After the range session, I followed up with Oly regarding what I saw. Here is Oly's take on this shaft:
"I designed it specifically to compete with the likes of the Tensei Orange and stiffer Hzrdus products. The wide body, long parallel butt design makes the shaft very stable in the butt half. So, you should feel much less shaft motion in your hands. This type of design also allows for better torque control. The TPOC is about ½ degree lower in torque than the OLYSS at the same weight. The softness you describe feeling in the TPOC could be attributed to the Zylon weave material. That material is added to damp high frequency vibration for a better feel."
The zylon weave is seen in the photos above the writing where there is a clear coat. This really stands out and provides some very visible tech in the sunlight.
...and here are the technical specs for the TPOC Proto in 70g TX flex:
Weight – 78 grams
Torque – 2.5 degrees
Frequency – 275 cpm
Tip Stiffness – 92 mm (mid-stiff to stiff)
Tip O.D. – 0.335 (3.0 inch parallel)
Butt O.D. – 0.610 (Parallel)
Balance Point – 21.2 inches from butt end (47% - slightly counterbalanced)
Based on my observations and the results I got with both this shaft and the OLYSS Proto, Oly will be sending me the Bryson Proto shaft and feels it may be the best fit for my swing.
Holy rebar, Batman!
I'm glad to see that the TPOC is working well for you on your first session.
I'll be very curious to see the LM numbers you get from this shaft.
Very interesting I game the Tensei Pro Orange in my driver snd 3 wood and love it.
Also have HZRDUS Black in my driving iron.
Seems like this shaft might fit me very well. Interested to follow along.
