    I just swapped out a Vista Pro shaft on my Tour Edge Exotics E722 for a Ventus Red 5R. Adds 10 yards to my drive. Arrow straight. Going to get Ventus Red for my 3wood and 20 degree hybrid. I was a skeptic that a shaft would do much for an average golfer. Been proven wrong about that. I’m 70 years old, 12 handicap, driver club speed 90 mph.

    Ventus Black does really well with heavy heads and high moi heads to help give the shaft a little more deflection on the down swing. Cool stuff.

    This is great. I have found equally similar results. Ventus tr blue never went the farthest for me but dispersion was just soo good, i sacrificed a bit of ball speed from ventus black because i just feel with the tr blue i know where the ball is going almost every time

      No tipping, standard cut from the butt and length.
      I actually ended up swapping it out for black TR with the same head to produce the same effect, but not lose length. I’ve picked up more speed (118-122 club head speed).

Went Ventus Red 5s and it was way too far of a compensation (although it’s fast!) …but I turn it over too much. I gained back a little speed and have some more to go, about 104-105 now and looking for 108ish. When I stopped playing I was around 110-113. I’m 55 now and probably won’t see those numbers but it’s nice to have gained back some. I am putting in the TR Red 6s this weekend (and 7s in fwy) so looking forward to hitting.

      @@baldwin9281 have you ever hit anything from matrix in the mid to late 2000s, because that’s the feel of the tr. it’s not crazy demanding outside of black but it is incredibly stable and these shaft allow for quicker lead deflection with the stiff butt and it’s why most people are seeing a slight uptick in speed as well. If you have a good positive AOA you’ll be able to play with slightly lower loft which will also increase ball speed.

    Interesting review 👍🏻 Played with the Ventus Blue 6s last year with my TS3 driver and really enjoyed it. (Felt I could hit it hard but my spin numbers were too high). Changed to Rogue ST Max with GD Tour AD xc and having a great time with it. Took a while to get the timing right when I went after one but over time, the feel is excellent and my numbers have improved significantly. Spin is down, carry and total up and fairways found much improved.
    Expensive upgrades but worth it even at my level of golf.

    I'm playing blue tr in my driver....what a hammer. My strike just comes out of the middle so often. I was playing black before but tr blue is just a little more forgiving. I'm putting a red tr 8x in my 3 wood. I think it's going to be a real weapon in the sim2ti. Ian if you want to play less loft the red is the way to go. I have a 6x blue tr at 44.75 in an epic ls and it just goes straight. Almost scary straight even in the tour sleeve at -2 to the point you are scared to aim down the middle of the course all day

    What are your thoughts on Rocco Mediates bag? He plays super stiff in everything for his swing speed (ventus black tr 7x in driver). He says super stiff helps with a draw and if it’s too soft it’ll just go high right. I’ve put some softer shafts in my driver and noticed it flying high right, maybe I should try a ventus black like him!

    This is interesting. I'm off scratch and my bad one is a hook. I used tour issue Aldila TX 60g tour green for 5 years. Bought a Stealth and it came with a Kaili 70X, the heavier shaft has completely eliminated the left side of the course like the black TR did in this vid, even though results improved, I'm not a fan of the heavier shaft, it's taken feel of clubhead away. Maybe the 6X TR blue or normal black might be a good option. I do like my new baby fade, just want the feedback with it

In fact, I love them so much that I am considering trying a TR Red 70 Series shaft in my TS2 4-wood. So far, the only thing holding me back is the fact that I love the 77 gram Miyazaki Kusala Mizu shaft that is in that 4-wood.

      @MichaelM-to4sg 2 роки тому +2

      I think Ian already answered that in video. The TR versions are essentially handle stiffened versions of original. The Velocore tip sections are carryover thus tipping would be equal across entire line. That said, talk to your fitter and/or Fujikura authorized builder as Fujikura specifically does not recommend tipping of the Speeder nor Ventus shafts. You trim tip 1/2” on fw, drivers are untrimmed, at least if you follow their guidelines.

    Swing speed average around 122mph, going all out 130+ but my spin average is around 3000 and higher. I use a skytrak "I know its not a GCquad" but ill carry 305 with 3000+ spin. I feel it's accurate because I have the same results when playing golf. How can I lower my back spin.

    I realize it’s completely psychological but there’s just something about red anything that’s a hard no for me 🤣.
    I did demo the original Ventus Blue and Ventus Black. The blue was solid but I didn’t feel it as smooth as familial mate Speeder NX. Of the 4 shafts I demoed for my driver, the Ventus Blue and Black finished 3rd and 4th, respectively. Probably just my swing, I’m 108-110 driver clubhead speed, smooth transition and moderate tempo. Think closer to Ernie Els than Justin Thomas.
    I ended up with Speeder NX 60X but it was really close with Mikey’s favorite, Diamana TB 50X. Surprisingly I preferred the 50 series TB despite coming from a 661 Speeder in my old gamer and preferring the 60-series in all of the Fujikura shafts I demoed.
    The knock on Ventus for me was the effort required to make it work. Especially the Black, it felt very wooden and only performed if I really went after it. I wanted to try the 60S version but my fitter didn’t have one to demo, the 60X was actually his personal driver.
    Sounds like the Ventus Red TR would be most suitable to my profile but the Speeder NX is such a fantastic shaft, it’s also in my 3-wood, that I can’t see it getting replaced in foreseeable future.
    I am curious with the proliferation of Ventus line on tour, is this replacing the Speeder line or will we continue seeing Speeder shafts in future?
