Now I’m curious about your launch and apex. In my past fittings I’ve seen 237 carry from a 97mph swing and lower smash. I don’t remember launch but pretty sure my apex was around 90’I don’t know. To me, pushing 240 carry is about what I expect on good strikes.
Next time I hit on TrackMan I will get more numbers.Now I’m curious about your launch and apex. In my past fittings I’ve seen 237 carry from a 97mph swing and lower smash. I don’t remember launch but pretty sure my apex was around 90’
You don’t have to for my sake and maybe someone more in tune with optimal numbers can confirm, but I wonder if you could get 5-10 more yards more carry with your SS. Angle of attack makes a big difference though.Next time I hit on TrackMan I will get more numbers.

It is interesting how different we all are. I am just the opposite. I didn’t love Ventus, but Graphite Design shafts work for me over and over.I tried it in both 5s and 5x in my Ping G430 LST. It’s a good shaft but not magic for me. I much preferred the Ventus TR Blue or the EvennFlow White T1100 that I currently play.
To me the VF still was more graphite design than Ventus or Mitsubishi White. Something about the VF did not fit my swing. I have not gotten along with really any GD shaft and typically played Mitsubishi White or Aldila NV Green type shafts in the past so on paper the VF should have been a good fit but it did not work for me.
I have a positive AOA of 3-5* and SS of 105-107. Not a lot of lag in my swing so more like Stricker and less like Sergio so I can play Stiff or X.

What about the 6S wasn’t right? Weight or flex? This shaft and the Ventura’s TR Red are at the top of my list to try this winter/spring, and that’s typically my preferred weight range and flex.I gave this a try. I am intrigued. It was not a good fit flex wise but I still think it has potential.

Just too soft of a flex.What about the 6S wasn’t right? Weight or flex? This shaft and the Ventura’s TR Red are at the top of my list to try this winter/spring, and that’s typically my preferred weight range and flex.
Feel like you'd be in X or TX in this one based on that experience?I gave this a try. I am intrigued. It was not a good fit flex wise but I still think it has potential.

You have to remember that @Templet0n has something like 180 ball speed with driver.What about the 6S wasn’t right? Weight or flex? This shaft and the Ventura’s TR Red are at the top of my list to try this winter/spring, and that’s typically my preferred weight range and flex.
Have you ever hit this shaft, Nathan?Feel like you'd be in X or TX in this one based on that experience?

I have not. I'm curious about it of course, but haven't had the chance. Between the work on my back, the holiday hustle, the torn calf muscle, and a lot of other product testing I put above this I haven't taken many unnecessary driver swings. Trying to be smart with it all to start the year.Have you ever hit this shaft, Nathan?
It is offered in TX in both the 6 and 7 weight classes.Would love to try this in a TX. Does such a thing exist?
Yeah it shows as an option. And based on some other feedback I feel like that's where you might be.Would love to try this in a TX. Does such a thing exist?
Welcome to the forum! It is a fantastic shaft.I have this shaft on order with a Qi10 head. Really liked the combo. I went with the 6s which gave me very good numbers. I tried a lot of other shafts but this shaft really does help to tighten up dispersion.
I have the 6x tr red n the 5x gd vf and the two shafts are completely completely different feeling -almost opposite feel but i think itd come down to personal preferenceWhat about the 6S wasn’t right?
