I think at this point any company would be out of their minds to NOT give the boys a product for a test run. Keep up the awesome work TXG!!
If they don't trust TXG to review, product is suspect in my opinion.
@@fritoboat13 in TXG we trust!
Completely agree!
TXG is my go to for golf equipment reviews because no one covers anything like you two do. Another great video. I’m gaming Ventus because of this channel.
Big facts and I'm gaming rdx smoke blue because of there review
It’s really fascinating to watch Matt respond, swing to swing, to the properties of these shafts. Another good one guys. Thank you.
Watching the video now, but just wanted to thank you guys for sharing so much knowledge with all of us. Its particularly useful for me because my swing is eerily similar to Matty's. Stuck on am island in the middle of the Pacific, we have no club fitters here. Hoping to teach myself so I can help the golfing community here. Stay safe and thank you again! Cheers from Guam 🇬🇺
All the best mate!
Love from Aus
Another Masterclass from the Boys, expert Fitting from Ian & Hitting from Matty!!!!!!!!!
Dude, got the driver version of the blue Ventus and it was absolutely worth it. It outperformed every other shaft and by god, it just feels so good. Game changer-so consistent. Keep up the good work boys!
I know a lot about equipment. Learning about shafts is something I need to grow in. Thanks for this
Recently been fit into the ventus 8x with a g425 5 hybrid lofted all the way down. Thing is an absolute beast and has turned the 215ish distance into a strength. It’s amazing how consistent my strikes are
Was fitted for the Ventus 7-S shaft in my Ping G410 driver. It's fantastic. Saw big improvements in not only distance but accuracy as well. Worth every penny spent on it.
Absolutely love the reviews you guys do. I’m possibly addicted to your channel. My only complaint is that I might be running low on videos to watch 😂. Although I have no problem rewatching videos from TXG.
Also I want to thank you guys for getting me prepared for my fitting I recently had and giving me some questions to ask and things to think about. I felt confident going in to the fitting and walked out with some great irons and wedges. Next is to get fit for woods and I have no doubts I’ll get the best experience because of you guys!
Fujikura really hit a home run with the Ventus line, keep up the great content guys.
Edit: that driving iron setup might need to go in the bag
I just purchased a 44.75” Ventus 6x with the SST Pure performed for my G400 LST and it was worth every penny. My mishits are so much straighter and the loading and delivery are incredibly more stable.
Love the knowledge and "side notes" about the shafts and clubs. Wish I swung a club like you guys :-(
I bought this shaft for my hybrid and my friends or dad didn’t believe what I gained (I’m a lower ball flight player)
I had a basic shaft in my 2 hybrid up front. Carried like 205-210 max
Now it Carrie’s 225-230 and rolls out (on lay ups or off a tee around 240
My friends have since bought the shaft after fitted proper lol!
Same thing happened when I bought this same shaft (driver one for my driver) I gained about 12-15 yards of carry distance and some roll.
Same for 3 wood/5 wood. (I switch my 2 hybrid/5 wood out)
But people didn’t believe me they legit had to see it to believe it. Definitely for a driving iron or hybrid at $200 worth every penny (I’d fit correctly of course)
I like what you said about a slightly shorter shaft bc I had the same experience mines .75 shorter than my older shaft and I hit it higher and longer.
Such a good looking driving iron with that black TX ... so nice!
Never been this early. Keep up the great vids boys.
I got the 7S version in my 3-hybrid 19 deg. I Shortened it to 39". Same length as a 3 iron. It is a long, low spin beast.
Avg numbers:
---
Club Speed: 95.3 mph.
Ball Speed: 141.6 mph.
Smash: 1.49.
Launch Ang: 11.9 deg.
Spin: 2734 rpm.

Land Ang: 34.3 deg.
Carry: 227 yd.
Total: 253 yd.
I have Ventus Blue 6x (driver) and 7x (fairways) and absolutely love them. They are very low launching, and the feel is great, but mostly in its smoothness and kick, less so in the tip (because it's so low torque). But overall just a very stable shaft but with a nice smooth feeling. I might worry about the Black being too boardy but the Blue is perfect for me.
Great video. I am always looking at hybrids for some reason. My favorite type of reviews. Thanks guys. As always fascinating stuff by you two. :). Joe
I’d love to see some comparison videos. Specifically of stock shafts vs Fujikura high performance shafts. A comparison to really show the viewer that the more expensive shaft makes a big difference. Great videos. I watch everyday.
Perfect tee shots on #2. Gonna have to take a little hike through the woods to jump in the river, Matty... no water on Oakmont. #2 is a low-key beast. One of the best “short” par 4s there is.
Even with a mid 88 mph 7 iron swing, I loved my 6.5 Rifles in my old blades and I loved demoing a KBS C-Taper X when I bought my 919 Mizunos - it's the hockey player / tennis player loader in me I guess. I'm also using a 94 gram Tensei White TX shaft in my Mizuno CLK 16 Hybrid - and if I was building a driving iron, I would put the Ventus Black in it without even trying it looking at that flight Matt got - it is exactly the bullet type of flight that everyone who hits s driving iron wants
A got fitted for a Sim driver with the Ventus Blue and absolutely love it. Want to try it with a 3 wood and now maybe the new TM driving irons. Have to wait for my wife to approve of the purchase tho ha!
I just put the blue 7R on my Mavrik pro 3 hybrid. With the stock kbs hybrid shaft it was very fade biased. Now it seems to just go straight. Very interesting exciting.
Great stuff as always. Thanks for the review and setting us up for more to come!
Great video again boys. I just got fitted for a TM Rocket 3 wood with a Ventus. On the Flightscope it was ace but Out on course it was horrible I just couldn’t get to grips with it - consistently going right. Strange. Swapped for a ping G410 with stock Shaft and stripe it down middle. Each to their own I suppose. I just wish there was a TXG studio in Glasgow!
Keep smashing it lads
As always another nice video, Matt's misses are what I would love to be my better hits
Driving iron heaven! Might even stop the hooky hybrid shots too! Great work too!
What I think would also be super interesting is to see how Matty plays his course making the conservative play off the tee often, i.e. using the driving iron and keeping the driver in the bag, vs how he'd play it using a system like DECADE. Obviously would need a decent sample size with each to draw any real conclusions but I think it'd be cool to see. Maybe a collab with Scott Fawcett in an Instructor Series video as well.
great video, really looking forward to trying these. play the Ventus in my sim driver and sim max 3/5 wood and love them.
Time for a followup vid on this please. What you have found works best in utilities vs hybrids etc. Thinking t200 2 iron with the ventus blue hyb be a nice combo. Be interesting to know if shaft plays stiffer when in driving irons etc. How you have fit weight etc. Your recommendations etc given may be hard to test the different options so many may be buying blind.
I absolutely love all these tests. It’s an education. Thanks guys.
I need this shaft! 112mph 4 hybrid and I pull hook way too much. This looks like a confident shaft for me.
Ventus is killing it this year! How would either of these shafts compare to the Tensei Pro White 100TX? I put the Tensei in my 21* 818 H1 last year at 39.5” and it all but eliminated the left side of the course for me. The Tensei feels very stable but not overly stiff.
I want one soooo bad! Thanks for the tease boys
Great video! I’d love to see how the pxg driving iron stacks up against some of the more popular brands if you guys could!
Would have loved to see the blue in the driving iron and the black in the hybrid as well. Just to see.. regardless I just ordered a blue 10x for for gapr low.
Loving the content guys, any thoughts on aldila rogue white?
Great video, interested to hear thoughts in follow up on how DI model compares to hzrdus smoke which has been very popular for the masses
Is this shaft different than the stock ventus blue shaft for sim rescue? Or is it like the stock driver, version with no velecore?
Oakmont was an inspired choice for this video, given Matty's DJ cosplay.
Sorry forgot to mention this Fujikuras new marketing team are the best👍
Question...I have a UST elements chrome driver shaft and it has TSPX etched not printed on the shaft with numbers following. Is that saying it was tipped? Or is that just serial #? Do you have any idea?
Ian what are you doing to me? I love my Ventus Black in my Driver, Blue in my 3 wood (also have a Red in another when I need more carry/launch) but currently play the GOST shaft in my hybrid as I love the weight and flight. Now I’ll have to test this. Ahhhh. 😂. I also have the GOST in my 4 driving iron.
So the swingweight is different on this driving on than the rest of his irons? Or is it the same because you add weight to head? Please help Im so confused
Excellent review as always gents! Currently game Hzrdus Smoke Black Hybrid 80S. How would the Ventus Blue in 8S compare? Thanks.
James I had the same shaft in mine. I have the ventus black in my driver and blue in the 3 wood. My guess is the blue 8s is going to have better feel, a more stable tip and slightly higher launch. Basically better lol. I was not a fan of smoke black!
Would you guys ever consider playing a round of golf with the “off the self” set of clubs vs your fitted set to show people how different it is
I’d say they should do a giveaway, fitting for a 13-17 handicapper. Play 9 with current set, fit them, and play 9 after
Another great clip. Thanks. Quick question please. Did you have to add weight to adapt for swing speed on the UT iron? I’ve got one that I’ve lost confidence in with a Modus 120 X in.
Question for you guys . I recently tried a low spin driver 9 degree and I wasn't that accurate. My misses were off to the right straight pushes and could never correct it. Should I got back to a high lofted driver?
Ian I’m currently playing a Rogue Sub Zero w/ Even FLO blue 75g X. SS 112-115. Bought a G410 plus and have tried 4 different shafts in it and can’t find one that works. Where would you start based on my current driver setup.
Video Idea: please explain how a down breeze wedge tends to just fall out of the sky WELL SHORT of target instead of carrying with the breeze/wind long.
Happened to me again a couple of days ago. Had 110 to the hole, hit my 105 club, ball maybe went 85. Can’t wrap my brain around it.
Definitely breezy/windy at times. Played the into the wind holes perfectly with club selection/flighting shots. Middle iron and long irons down wind were predictable, but downwind wedge was WELL short (again). This has been ongoing and I cant wrap my brain around which is the right club/flight for this scenario. (I had 7 birdies on the round, but missing the green from 110 with my favorite club is unacceptable)
TXG Guys. Would the Fujikura Ventus give me any more Distance in my Epic Sub Zero Flash Driver over the EverFlow shaft? An would the Fujikura Ventus Black give me a lower Ball Flight? Thanks. I am Lefty an my ball flight tails to the left at the end of Flight!
How would something like the black 10tx compare to the ProjectX t1100 white 100x??
Hey @TXG What was the playing length of the driving iron with the Ventus Black Shaft? Cheers
Gents great video! What playing length is the shaft in the Matt Callaway UT driving iron?
Id love to know your thoughts between this and the fujikura pro tour spec iron shaft. How will this compare to a 115x ts profile?
blimey ... straight as an arrow!
Is there a ventus shaft for 90-95 swing speed and aggressive tempo?
Ventus seems to be the go to shaft. How does it compare to Atmos?
Ian, can you remove a pre installed adapter from a bgt stability shaft?
I missed your live today dammit!
Had a question about comparables to ventus blacks. Any other hybrid shafts that are similar?
I am a higher swing speed golfer, 115 driver, my miss is more of a hook (random blocks right), and my current 2i setup I have fallen out of love with. 2i Mizuno HMB Modus Steel 120g X Stiff. Just a load to swing and like the new Srixon ZX a lot more.
I am going to buy through TXG and was recommended the NIppon GOST X hybrid. However, I don't think Jamie had much info to go on. I resent him some more info. let me know y'all thoughts! thank you
This or the Nippon GOST??? Oddly, I have a velocore in my 3 wood (TaylorMade SIM rocket) but hit my non velocore in my 3 TaylorMade SIM hybrid better. They feel like very different shafts....
Hi guys in the blue hb did you tip it? Cheers
Wonder if Fuji will make graphite iron shafts with velocore 🤔🤔🤔
yeah but what hybrid head you using??
2nd comment let's goooooo!!!! Great vid and good info. Keep up the hard work.
Question: Wanting a graphite shaft for my driving iron...is the black the driving iron specific shaft or can the blue be used for the driving iron too? not sure how much I load the club. thanks all!
Can use either blue or black
How long is Matty's 10-TX used in his driving iron?
Ventus question...I recently purchased a 3 wood with a ventus blue shaft, priced at $299. Obviously if a shaft retails for $350, this is not the shaft in my 3 wood. Even though it is a Fujikura Ventus shaft logoed, the only thing missing is the Velacore label towards the tip of the shaft. My question is "what Fujikura shaft do I have in my 3 wood?" Ventus without Velacore? or what? Thanks.
I was wondering the same question but i bough a Hybrid with the same shaft as yours.
You guys bought made for taylormade shafts without velocore. It’s like buying pepperoni pizza that came with no pepperoni. Txg has a video already on Velocore vs non velocore shafts. There’s a difference.
Please do the stinger challenge with tracers. That would be
Could you do a review of the Ben hogan edge irons
anyone else notice the longer matt spends with Ian the more matt says 'lovely'
I think Matt could win a pga tour event on the simulator.
How often does Matt change his golf shoes?
How is Matt liking the new shoes ?
Need!!!!want to throw 9x blue in a driving iron
Marti Pellow gone into the golf equipment game?
Can’t say I would be able to use these shafts
I hear “stinger challenge” and all I can imagine is Alex Etches turning his hat around saying, “now we’re talking”. Haha.
Did Ian just drop a spoiler? " an extension of your X7 irons" last I checked Matt played the T100's?! 🙀🙀
X7 shafts in T100 irons
@@clubchampionmedia ohhhhhhhh I thought you guys might have been referencing the X7 Srixon irons lol
Nobody seems to mention that the Ventus is rated at 3.0 torque. low torque has always kept the ball straighter. Years ago many better players were reluctant to even play graphite for that reason. Steel has way lower torque than graphite or other materials.
We all like the videos just a quick moan when you are showing the data for the ball strikes can you leave it on a little bit longer so that we can see the numbers👍
I broke my Ventus black shaft today. 😩😩😭😭😭. It broke my heat seeing my driver head laying on the ground.
How did it break ?
@@chadz6728 golf cart accident. While passing another cart my driver was hanging out to far and hit the other cart and snapped the shaft.
so basically the ventus black is like swinging a telephone pole
Fit me please mate
