For those gaming this shaft, I have a question. I’m gaming a UST Mamiya Coool 7X and wanted to see which profile would be comparable. Swing speed of 108-110. Thoughts?

Just a PSA, Taylor Made has Ventus Blue and Black as stock options in the SIM line, but they do not have the Velocore layer in it. The "real" versions with Velocore (which is the main tech in the shaft) are available through custom with a hefty up charge. So when you start to see them on the secondary market, make sure you know which version you are getting.
That is correct, at least from what I've seen.Hopefully, the made for TM shafts don't say "Velocore" on them. Is that correct?

I thought I was swinging the real thing at the store today . Such a shame...That is correct. Otherwise, they look exactly the same. Going to fool a lot of people. Which is a shame.

I agree. Found Atmos blue really boardy, and Ventus blue felt great!haha. that is interesting. What are those buzz words? I have a blue ventus 7X and a hazrdus green 60TX. I find the ventus to have way more feel. Although I get a touch more ball speed out of the hulk. The ventus is extremely tip stiff so I wonder if that is where the boardy feel comes from. I like the feel of the ventus much more than say the Atmos. I would consider the atmos very boardy.
Anyone have experience with both the Ventus Blue and Black? Curious to read perspectives on the playability of each.
Also curious if anyone can compare to the AD IZ 6X? I’m guessing the blue is more comparable there.

Thinking I need one of these in my driver. ?
I finally got to try the black. It is much more stout than the blue. Even though they share a name, I find them very different. I tried both in the 7x profile. The Black is much more butt stiff while still being very tip stiff.
Unless you swing really hard, go with the blue. At least that is my opinion.
Even the Ventus Red feels significantly stiffer to me then the AD IZ did. In didn't get along with that shaft at all. Felt good, but pretty loose. If you're used to the IZ but looking for something a little tighter, don't sleep in the Red as an option.Anyone have experience with both the Ventus Blue and Black?

Yeah, I prob need a fitting but may just blindly purchase a blue 6X (not tipped). I tend to be a fairly low launch, low spin guy, so the black is likely a poor option for me.Even the Ventus Red feels significantly stiffer to me then the AD IZ did.

Is it the smoke black or yellow??Would also love feedback on Blue vs Black 6X. I have a hzrdus smoke 6.5 in my new SIM that I hit well but am launching and spinning a bit too much. Tempted by the Black to get my spin down below 2,900 rpm and peak height below 140 feet consistently, but curious if the Blue will ultimately be more playable as I’m afraid of low-spin dive bombers.
Thanks for the reply, I am hitting the Smoke Black. I ordered a Ventus Black 6X shaft today. Used to playing longer shafts so my attempt at shortening up will be a playing length of 45 1/4” and untipped. Can’t wait to take it for a test drive!Is it the smoke black or yellow??
IMO the HZRDUS Smoke Black is a terrible feeling shaft and quite loose for a low/low profile. The original hzrdus black was better for me. The Ventus Black 6x feels nothing like the Smoke. I dont think its stout or overly stiff at all. You dont really get the feeling of the shaft loading or a kick at all but its still quite smooth
Also I wouldn't consider the Ventus Black to be a major spin killer either for low spin dive bombers. It lowered launch but I haven't seen anything dramatic in terms of low spin. I have an LA Golf Ozik Black Tie and TENSEI Pro Orange also. The Ventus is the smoothest feel of the 3
My SS is typically between 110 - 113
