Shaft helping?I am killing this driver at Bandon. When I get a hold of it them it flies. I am learning my miss and shot shape with it but it is a great driver for me.

Interesting thought. I’ll try to remember to mess with the weight track and see if I notice a differenceI find the sound of best with the weight track in the middle and that shaft plays a role. My GD Tour ADHD has amazing feel and sound. Reminds me of my Mizuno irons!

This right here definitely stands out to me as well. There have been some that I’ve thinned, hit off the heel or toe that I’ve had to shake my head at after getting to the ball.The distance on misses continues to impress me with this driver. I hit a bunch out on the toe this weekend and didn't really have to sacrifice much. I'm not the longest driver of the ball, but I was able to turn a good number of par 4s into short iron or even partial wedge shots. Drove the green side trap on a 270 yard par 4. If I'd been a little further left I think it might have rolled off the green based on how far back in the trap it went. I know sound is personal but I'm really happy with this one. When you catch it in the middle you're definitely with a nice thwack that lets you know you killed one. I was lucky enough to hear it more than a few times over the weekend. I'm always sketchy with a new driver until I settle in, but so far I'm very pleased with this driver over my Rogue ST. I think my longest drives are probably still about the same but the forgiveness gives me more than I was getting from the ST on misses that are still a decent swing. It's definitely not a cure all for wayward swings, but small mistakes have proven to be less painful so far.
One of my misses today was a low, heeled shot which felt really bad and didn't sound great, I knew it was bad as soon as it came off the club. It was a low pull fade, but just ended up 3' off the left edge of the fairway, and I went on to par the hole. It was definitely one of those that left me chuckling and shaking my head at how that bad of a shot could turn out that well.This right here definitely stands out to me as well.

Getting back to this. I love the stability of the Ventus Blue. I had the Gen 1 in my Radspeed and was fit into this year's version for the TD. Going into the Ventus Blue TR has been pretty plug and play from those 2 shafts.Shaft helping?
Awesome to hear. Keep it up!Had the best driving day of my life at the hardest course I've ever played yesterday with this guy.![]()
Yeah you did! Keep it up today!Had the best driving day of my life at the hardest course I've ever played yesterday with this guy.![]()
Paradym standard has been in the bag since November. Tried smoke max and it's not much better. Dispersion was just a hair tighter. But smoke didn't show me any ballspeed gains. Actually a fraction slower than paradym, on avg.
Slightly higher launch and slightly lower spin than Paradym. Equated to 2 yards more carry.
Now, qi10 is a different story...
During my fitting I had a series of bad swings and was just leaving the face wide open hitting push slices. We tried both the max in full draw and the max d. The max d was more draw biased.Has anybody tested the Max head with the weight in the draw setting vs. the Max D head? How do shot shapes compare? I'd imagine the Max D would still be more draw-biased, but not sure.
I always found paradym to be slow. I struggle to swing it fast. Smash is good, But I just swing it slow. Idk why.Oh, do tell . . . . .![]()
yeah I really like the reward you get when you hit the center of the face in the sound department. And love the forgiveness reward when you miss it.The distance on misses continues to impress me with this driver. I hit a bunch out on the toe this weekend and didn't really have to sacrifice much.

Yes the Max D has true Draw bias. I can't quite remember the number that Callaway told us at the Grandaddy...but it's in the ballpark of 8 yard correction. The slider would never be able to make that sort of correction. Also, the Smoke Max D is much more draw biased than the previous Paradym X driver.Has anybody tested the Max head with the weight in the draw setting vs. the Max D head? How do shot shapes compare? I'd imagine the Max D would still be more draw-biased, but not sure.
Today was really good too!Yeah you did! Keep it up today!
