The color was tweaked to meet requests by Callaway to match their new AI weight screws and headcover trim. The first batch was reserved for Callaway. They are just now leaking out to other mfgs.
The blue x was way to soft throughout the profile. The blue tr is nice for me. If i play it at 46 total length will it be to soft compared to playing it at 45 total length? Would some tipping be required at 46 inches or maybe consider going to the black?
Playing it at a longer length isn't going to change the profile Michael, but by going longer you should pick up some speed which might mean you want to look at the Black. A good fitter will help you work through this to understand the gains and drawbacks of either choice. Hope that helps.
I have one and put a srixon zx5 mk2 head on it and lost 35 yards over the stock hazardous shaft. Don’t know why but I played 3 rounds and put the stock shaft back into my driver. Now I hit it straight every time tho but I would rather play from 285 than 250 (or less)
Did you put in a Velocore version of Ventus Blue or Non-Velocore version? There's a huge difference in tolerances, CPM and overall performance. I have the ZX5 MKII LS 8.5 head and I have a velocore Ventus Blue (6S) and it blew the stock HZRDUS shaft out of the water. I've never spend $350 on a shaft before but after hitting it, I bought one. I am super happy with it.
Talked to few fitters at 2nd swing Scottsdale and they seem split, half like Ventus & other half prefer the Graphite Designs, what say you two? +10 yards + 1-2 more fairways = sold
We would have created them while testing Ryan but we don't tend to record them. Common thinking in the industry is once the balls hit the ground it's out of your control, so it typical just to record the numbers you have control over.
There's a couple of ways getting over this. Buy the driver through a brand who offer the shaft you want as an uncharge. Alternatively try and find an independent fitter who has a component account so they can order just the desired head and shaft for you. Hope that helps.
The original Ventus Blue was so good. I used to play the 6x Velocore. Save $ and get the 2018 version imo.
Thanks for your input.
They are the same price
Lol

@ ventus 6-S velocore + blue. 350 dollar shaft that stands in the corner of my bedroom 😂

That's the thing personal preference comes into it, we haven't yet done too much with Graphite Design, but watch this space.
Did you have total distances for these tests not just carry ?

@@todaysgolfer ok thanks would be very interesting to see what had the most roll out and total distance
Only change the head but the manufacture will require you to buy their crappy stock shaft so you can get the head.
At my local PGA store I can buy head only and mate to a shaft in many mfg

@@JjJj-yw1eu They are starting to provide a very finite set of shafts you can choose from. The new Fujikura blue shaft is not one of them.
nice test of no hitting of either shaft lollolololol
