At THP, we believe that testing should be done not only by us, but also by golfers just like you. One of the cool features about being an active member of the THP Forum is that we look to you guys/gals, the consumers, to give feedback on equipment to golfers all around the world. Each month we send out iron sets, drivers, hybrids, putters, trainings aids and golf balls to our active members to be a part of the THP Forum Member testing. So, who wants to test the Kinetixx Hypersonic?

Kinetixx Hypersonic
We previously reviewed this impressive Hypersonic driver shaft and if you missed that feature story, you can find it here. New finish is being released and it is electric. We want to put this great looking shaft in the hands of THPers and let them tell us what they think.
Testing shafts is a ton of fun because there is so much taking place. From ball flight to feel and everything in between. The shaft will arrive already gripped and tipped and ready for the driver that you currently play. From there, you will offer weekly feedback for a period of two months.
Criteria
We will select a group of 5 THPers that will join James from the THP Staff.
You must be able to check in on the forum thread daily (or close to it) to discuss and answer questions.
You will be reviewing the shaft for a period of two months and then it is yours to keep.
How to Signup to Test
Comment below and follow these instructions.
Step 1 – Tell us the driver and flex in your current shaft.
Step 2 – What Flex would you like in the Hypersonic? (D10, D20, D30, D40)
Step 3 – What Driver will it be going into?
We will announce the testers on Monday, August 26th, on the THP Forum.

Wholeheartedly agree with you [USER=3]@JB[/USER] !
Love testing shafts. Finding the shafts that work best for you is a real “Eureka!” moment of discovery.
There is no doubt that over the past few years I’ve become somewhat of a Shaft Ho and would normally jump at the chance but I’m in the rare spot right now where I feel like the shafts I’m using in my clubs are a pretty darn good fit so will resist the temptation to enter.
It has been interesting to follow Paderson’s evolution from being kind of a behind the scenes player in the shaft manufacturing business to now being more front and center with their designs, innovative technology and manufacturing prowess. The Kinetixx shafts have had quite the successful journey over the past few years and thIs ought to be a great opportunity to test these new shafts.
Good luck to all those who do enter. I will happily follow y’all and look forward to everyone’s impressions, thoughts and results.
These look slick! Good luck all!

Honest typo but I still chuckled ?, good luck to everyone!
I’m really curious about lightweight shafts after being fit into a heavier one.
1. Cobra Darkspeed X 9 LIN-Q Blue 7F4
2. D30
3. Darkspeed X
Cool opportunity. I self fit into a light shaft and had some success this year. Would like to see if this is the path forward testing against other lighter shafts:
Callaway Paradym, stiff
D30
Callaway Paradym
Thanks!
I’m lost right now and really need the correct driver shaft
1). Rogue ST Max Linq Blue 6F4
2). D20
3). Ai Smoke Max
oooh this will be fun! Have heard nothing but good things. I’d love to test but I need to stop messing around for the next month or so
Cool opportunity here! If you haven’t tried Kinetixx before this is a great entry point
Step 1 – Callaway Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Max Ventus TR Black 7x

Step 3 – Callaway Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Max
Such a cool opportunity to test a driver shaft!!
absolutely love to see this testing activation!!

1. ST230 Max w/Excaliber Phoenix 6s
2. D30

This is one I’ve hoped we would do a forum testing in for some time now! It’s going to be a fun one, so get those entries in!
Callaway Paradym AI Smoke w/stiff LinQ Red
D30
Callaway Paradym AI Smoke 10.5
Well this would be incredible to test alongside reviewing my Darkspeed X.
Current shaft is the HZRDUS smoke blue, 60g, 6.5.
I’d be looking at the D40 hypersonic.
It’s going to be going in the explosive dark speed X 9*.
Great opportunity
Step 1 – Tell us the driver and flex in your current shaft. AI Smoke Max 9* stiff shaft
Step 2 – What Flex would you like in the Hypersonic? D30
Step 3 – What Driver will it be going into? Aim Smoke Max
Ooooh this one will be a fun follow! Good luck all who enter!
Would be a great opportunity to test, especially when I have a Ballistic shaft on hand as well to do some comparisons. I won’t have much launch monitor time but can do weekly or bi-weekly range sessions and have a 4 day gold trip to Myrtle first weekend in October to get lots of rounds in.
1. Current driver is [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]Callaway Rogue ST Max 10.5 -UST Mamiya LIN-Q Purple 6F4[/COLOR]
2. I am very in between reg and stiff, but would probably go for the D30 Hypersonic with the intent to be able to swing away.
3. It would be going in a Callaway head (lefty if that is an option on the tip).
1) Callaway Paradym 9° with Mitsubishi Tensei White X Flex
2) D40
3) My Callaway Paradym
Oooooooh boy!!! So glad that we will be getting more hands and eyes on this shaft!
I very recently put this shaft (D20) in my gamer DarkspeedX to see if it may take the slot. I will join in the reviews with you guys. Not an entry but look forward to the thoughts and activity!
And holy smokes that orange looks electric!!!!
very cool!! Good luck all!
I was just eyeing this
Step 1 – Tell us the driver and flex in your current shaft.
Currently rocking a smoke max with either a ventus TR blue, but most recently a velocity. I really like the velocity but need lower launch.
Step 2 – What Flex would you like in the Hypersonic? (D10, D20, D30, D40)
D30
Step 3 – What Driver will it be going into?
I will put this into a smoke max to start and potentially re-tip if the new Darkspeed LS kicks the smoke out of the bag
Part of me wants to enter just for a shot at that orange… it looks so good!
Thanks for the opportunity! This shaft looks very intriguing and it comes in orange!!!
Cobra Darkspeed X with Linq Blue Stiff
D30
Cobra Darkspeed X
Ohhhh this is cool! It has a similar profile to my current shaft so it would be fun to test side by side!
Step 1 – Callaway AI Smoke Max Tensei Blue Extra Stiff
Step 2 – D30 or D40 (I’m on the edge of both, lean D30 but happily test D40 should we need more reviewers on that)
Step 3 – Callaway AI Smoke Max
Sweet!
1. GT3 – X Fflex
2. D40
