VA Composites was created in 2017 by Victor Afable. Victor has been in the golf business over 35 years. Much of it with golf shaft companies. He is now the owner of VA Composites and responsible for the design of VA Composite shafts. His past designs have over 100 tour wins including a major.
The VA Composite Vylyn (Villain) is a mid price shaft designated as Mid-High Launch. It is offered in weights ranging from 48g to 66g. The Tip/Butt stiffness is higher than what we saw in the Slay, validating the launch propensity stated by VA Composites. Lets take a look at the data.

TPT makes their shafts out of carbon fiber ribbon cut from the prepreg sheets they make. The ribbon is wrapped around the shaft mandrel. The result is a seamless shaft with uniform stiffness in all orientations. That was verified in my measurement, Radial Quality, shown below. It is the best in the business.
