    I love how you can see the incremental changes in the shaft perfectly with Matty's numbers. I'm sure Fujikura will be more than pleased with this test as it shows off the exact differences they were after in these shafts. Don't apologize for nerdy!!!! That's why most of us are here.

    Got my first fitting today, because of following your channel. Was fitted for the ventus blue, and mavrik sub zero! Cant wait for the build completion! Spoke highly about your channel with my fitter today! Keep up the good work and thanks for the info that encouraged me to get this game changing equipment venture.

    I've used the Blue since it came out. I have a high swing speed and even then it holds up to the test. It does indeed resist twisting. Such a great shaft that kicks consistently. I really want try the black out.

    Was fitted today and the best setup for me was the TM Sim 9 degree with the Fujikura Ventus Blue w/ Velocore Stiff, literally cant wait till shows up, the color combinations with everything blue is going to be killer being that blue is my favorite color just like Ian! You guys rock, keep it up!

I upgraded from the 65g Evenflow shaft on my Rogue to the 65g Tensei shaft and my strike immediately improved in one swing...I was warmed up already so it was a good test.

  • @happygolfer6335
    @happygolfer6335 4 роки тому +1

    Just a thought, I think the sound difference might be the stiffer shaft does not absorb the energy like a softer shaft would. So the energy stays in the head, for a faster swinger it would make since. A slower swinger would need the energy "rebound" from the softer shaft kick. I may be way off but that makes since in my head. Great video and interesting results.

    Would you guys please do a comparison between Ventus velocore Blue/red vs HZRDUS RDX Blue/Black?! I’m stuck between Ventus or HZRDUS RDX, the only stock shaft available is the RDX black but I’m not sure that’s the shaft I really should be looking at. Currently using a older M3 with a project x red handcrafted 6.0 62G 3.2 Mid spin shaft. In terms of weight it feels about right but it just feels slightly dead, not to stiff or to bendy but it just doesn’t load quite right. I don’t know what the bend profile is in my current shaft but I would really like to feel a little more load in the Middle/Tip to really get a good feeling for where the club head is. Swing speed is between 100-105 depending on the day, I prefer stiffer iron shafts, gaming DG 120 S300. I would really like something with a hint more flex in the tip/middle for my driver just to get that extra load and feel for timing Etc... any idea which direction I should aim?
