I have a Tour Spec VTLT with white paint (X flex?) in a Titleist 983E 8.5 deg that I received from a Titleist tour rep.
It's an absolutely awesome shaft in my opinion. I've never played another Fuji shaft other than the stock Speeder in the 983's. I didn't like that shaft at all. I would say that it is a little difficult at times to turn over, but not overly so. Make a good swing and it's all good. My ball flight depends on how high I tee the ball, but overall it's a pretty flat, boring flight that is a little lower than most and seems to run forever when it hits the ground.
I love the combo of the 983E head and the VTLT shaft, it's by far the best, longest driver I've ever owned. I would definitely classify it as a "Beast" :D
