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.
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 🇬🇺
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!
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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. Height: 76 ft. Land Ang: 34.3 deg. Carry: 227 yd. Total: 253 yd.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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?
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
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?
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!
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....
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 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
Another Masterclass from the Boys, expert Fitting from Ian & Hitting from Matty!!!!!!!!!

It’s really fascinating to watch Matt respond, swing to swing, to the properties of these shafts. Another good one guys. Thank you.
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 need this shaft! 112mph 4 hybrid and I pull hook way too much. This looks like a confident shaft for me.
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!
Oakmont was an inspired choice for this video, given Matty's DJ cosplay.
I want one soooo bad! Thanks for the tease boys
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
Sorry forgot to mention this Fujikuras new marketing team are the best👍
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.

Ventus seems to be the go to shaft. How does it compare to Atmos?
anyone else notice the longer matt spends with Ian the more matt says 'lovely'
Wonder if Fuji will make graphite iron shafts with velocore 🤔🤔🤔
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?
Is this shaft different than the stock ventus blue shaft for sim rescue? Or is it like the stock driver, version with no velecore?
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
