I love how you can see the incremental changes in the shaft perfectly with Matty's numbers. I'm sure Fujikura will be more than pleased with this test as it shows off the exact differences they were after in these shafts. Don't apologize for nerdy!!!! That's why most of us are here.

Got my first fitting today, because of following your channel. Was fitted for the ventus blue, and mavrik sub zero! Cant wait for the build completion! Spoke highly about your channel with my fitter today! Keep up the good work and thanks for the info that encouraged me to get this game changing equipment venture.

Watching Matt hit a shot 347 yards and not even "trying" makes me want to hate the guy, but these two are just so likeable. Just ordered my Ventus blue with Velocore so I can be like Matt. Thank you guys for the content!!

Most educational and informative golf channel by far. Fascinating to see the interplay between shaft and head options and impact on results. Bottom line, always get fit for clubs.

I've used the Blue since it came out. I have a high swing speed and even then it holds up to the test. It does indeed resist twisting. Such a great shaft that kicks consistently. I really want try the black out.

Was fitted today and the best setup for me was the TM Sim 9 degree with the Fujikura Ventus Blue w/ Velocore Stiff, literally cant wait till shows up, the color combinations with everything blue is going to be killer being that blue is my favorite color just like Ian! You guys rock, keep it up!

I play the Blue 7x in my Callaway Epic Flash SZ Triple Diamond. So Stable and feels amazing! Best shaft I have ever used. I’ve always used aftermarket shafts (tinkerer) and have finally found a winner! Great content guys!

Great job gentlemen! Love this stuff and this channel. You said nerdy, well, I am a golf nerd, lol. I upgraded from the 65g Evenflow shaft on my Rogue to the 65g Tensei shaft and my strike immediately improved in one swing...I was warmed up already so it was a good test. Thanks for your professional tests and fittings. Sure wish I could get to Canada and get fit by you...it's on my bucket list!

A really interesting video...as usual!. Watching Matt swinging the driver over and over turns me green with healthy envy.

I’m glad you guys did a video on this I have been interested in this shaft as soon as it came out my problem is I lm not 100 percent sure which one to get.

Revisited this one after watching the bracket finish with Mavrik + Ventus BLK. This shaft is just an absolute BEAST for Matty

Would love to see a head to head with Matt's gamer of Ventus Black vs TZ5, and Ventus Blue vs TZ6. As always... you guys rock.

Best golf channel on KZfaq. Keep up the awesome content, guys!

Matt’s swing and transition are ridiculously good! Love watching him swing! Gotta say though, I personally didn’t like how much the ball curved with the black. Felt he hit the red and blue better

Thanks for reviewing the new Fuji offerings!

Picked my blue up last week and paired it with my EPIC flash SZ and added 20 yards. Literally smashing it over 300 and 75% FIR. I can shape the ball off the tee much better. Worth the 💰

Legitimately laughed out loud to “annnnddd that will be the end of the video.”

ALWAYS ENJOY EXPLORATION OF TESTING NEW PRODUCTS; CONTINUE THE EXCELLENT CONTENT!!!

Keep the Nerdy videos coming guys awesome stuff

Exceptional work as usual. Thanks!

Thanks for the run down of the three shafts. Certainly wouldn’t pick the difference without your stats.

Love your videos guys !! So informative and straight talking 👍

Excellent stuff! keep it up! Yes indeed, LOVE the nerdy stuff!

Have my fitting in a week, can't wait!!!!

Oh and get the black shaft into your beast mode f9.....worth a video for sure!!!!!!!

I was fit into the blue yesterday. Loved the feel and consistancy of this shaft.

"A little nerdy" Well count me in as a nerd. Loved this video. Keep it up!

So awesome to have Matty “Iron Byron” Blois back and hammering!!!

awesome stuff guys!!!

Matt is absolutely wearing out the sweet spot with his driver!

PERFECT example of what can be achieved with different shaft profiles and further affirmation on the benefits of fitting. Can't remember seeing such a clear (linear) response before, wonder if the construction of the Ventus contributed to this???

For what it's worth ..I just started using a ventus red 5R..I'm 70yo and loving this shaft..worth every penny..The consistency is amazing.

Great job guys. Matty really striping it. Bad part is season is winding down up there.

Fantastic video love the content guys right up my alley way cheers Peter

Just a thought, I think the sound difference might be the stiffer shaft does not absorb the energy like a softer shaft would. So the energy stays in the head, for a faster swinger it would make since. A slower swinger would need the energy "rebound" from the softer shaft kick. I may be way off but that makes since in my head. Great video and interesting results.

Dude, love your swing. You are a machine 💪💪💪

Would love to see a test of new project x smoke green shaft. Great video. Keep up the great work.

A 7x Red that’s been tipped peaks my interest. Don’t know why but “higher launch” shafts in a higher weight have worked well the last few year for me.

Just caught up on this video, I’m playing a Ventus red in TM SIM with a swing speed of 98-100 mph and it feels great

Would love to see this for the Diamana BF/DF/ZF line!

Great video. I thought Matt's optimum spin was in the 2,200 range for dispersion reasons based on on prior fittings. I know that wasn't the point of the fitting, but it would be interesting to hear Ian's thoughts on the matter.

There it is!!

Impressive ball speeds and distances WOW!!!!

One of the best looking shafts along with the Tensei's and the Hazardous Smoke.

Hey, you guys should repeat this Ventus trial but with fairway woods.... I'd be very interested in seeing if the red becomes more of an option for ole Matty!

I would still love to see a shaft review with different shaft weights

I loved the way the sea was so see through

Bought custom Cobra SZ with ventus blue velocore. Doesn't seem compatible with big head. Took the full length ventus blue shaft and put it in my TaylorMade mini driver. Absolutely outstanding performance in all categories. Shocking how perfect they are together. You can feel the shaft working all the way through impact with a nice wip giving awesome controlled distance.

Great stuff as usual guys, particularly the great off the shelf results with the blue and the adjustment with the weights for the black. It all helps when iron Byron Matty is the tester as well.....need you guys here in the Midlands of England!

Why do we watch you ask, well I watch to maintain the energy Mr. Fraser. I watch so I learn what the bar of a fitting experience should be about, yes your nailing it and setting it TXG. I watch for accountability Matty Buy It! Matty Owes 1 Dollar for Lost Ball! #fedthesharks # virtualjustgotreal Matty Pay Your TXG Tab! 😂 👍 Great video!

Matty, we need a soundbite "That one is fair to say, is hammered" from this video, my favorite one liner by Ian 😄 04:55

I have the Ventus Blue 7-S in my Sim Max hybrid. Really nice shaft.

127! Matty's a beast!

Nice guys!

I've had the blue in my Callaway driver most of the year. I'd be interested in the black as well as seeing what it does in a fairway wood.

Stiffer and especially higher modulus materials transmit vibrations better. A softer shaft (in regards to material, not necessarily flex) will dampen the noise more.

Another great test well done.......I have an idea for a test, please test the new tensi orange pro HYBRID shaft, will it make a hybrid playable for me?

I’m gaming the Ventus Black 7X and the thing is a beast.

As a sound person, (not an acoustic engineer but), my best guess as to why a stiffer shaft provides a higher frequency is because under load, the denser, more solid shaft will have higher tension on the strands of carbon fibre and thus resonate more, at a higher frequency (higher tension = higher frequency, like a guitar string). I could be completely wrong but hey, it's interesting. *EDIT* In addition, the more solid and hard an object, the less it will absorb reflections (hit a drumstick on on a wooden table vs on a rubber pad, wooden table makes a click, whereas the pad makes a thud)

I honestly can't wait to get home at the end of a day and watch a new TXG video...it that a bit OCD?

Hey guys, would you do a video showing the ventus range being hit with regular, stiff and x stiff flex to show the differences in swing, ball flight etc with flex being the only changing variable? cheers @TXG

Watching this old vid you should do a video on how to read an EI curve graph or put it into your equipment talks

The Fujikura Folds of Honor shaft fits me so well, but are difficult to find in the aftermarket. What are some similar shaft options to keep a lookout for?

Great video guys. Are these shafts tip trimmed at all for Matt or are they just straight in installs?

Another great video as I have asked before being a bit nerdy myself could you leave the numbers on for a bit longer to digest what you are saying about the strike point etc 👍👍

I'm hitting the the Ventura blue in my 3 wood and hybrid Taylor made 2 sim do you suggest keeping the same shaft and buying a driver? I love the 3 wood shaft feels well waited. .thanks

Remarkable how the toe weight adjustment impacted the ball flight....should be on all drivers that are approaching mortgage payments in costs !!!

Interesting clip. I’m currently playing a 60 Aldila 110 msi x flex in my driver but have always struggled with feeling where it is in my swing. I play a Callaway Rogue driver. Would you recommend the Ventus shafts? Scotland is pretty poor for true fitting experiences with aftermarket options so would appreciate your help.

Hi Ian and Matt. Really enjoy watching the content you guys bring out. Regarding Matt using the red Ventus shaft, were the stats down compared to the black shaft because of his swing speed?

Ian, you mentioned that from the UST tests the mid section produces the most energy, so would that be a stiffer mid produces more than a softer mid?

Which Ventus Velacore shaft would be best for around 110 - 115 mph club head speed? I see the ones he’s hitting with 125mph speed but wondering what the difference between the blue red or black would fit my swing best?

Its sucks you never re-visited the ts4, I got fitted into one and absolutely love it. I think it would fit Matt really well if you guys played around with shafts a little

Hi guys!! How about a comparison between Ventus Black, Diamana DF, Tensei CK Pro White and EvenFlow White T1100? It would be very interesting!! Thanks!!

I’ve not had a Ventus fitting but would love one but no matter which one is correct for me I would want it in the red colour. Would they do a blue shaft but in red?

Say I got the Ventus red standard shaft. It launches too high with too much spin. Could I tip it an inch and it would play more like blue?

I have a question Matt/Ian. How good do you think the Blue Ventus shafts that come in the Sim Taylormade Hybrids are? About what would you have to pay for one if you were just buying the shaft that comes on that Sim Max Taylormade Hybrid???? Thanks. Joe

My question is... If I drop to 6x, how can I maintain the same swing weight and what differences (on average) aside from increase speed and ball speed can possibly occur? I swing on average 113-115 mph ball speed 168-172 mph spin rate 2200-2400 rpms. Thanks

I just picked up the Ventus black. This is the first premium golf shaft I’ve owned, how long does a product like this last?

Can you compare the velocore vs non velocore TM stock version ?

Matty.. you been wearin' that shirt for a month :)

If Matt were to put one of those shafts in his bag, what would you put him with. The black certainly went further, but the blue seemed to have a tighter dispersion?

Beau Hossler is hitting Ventus Red, but he never did play a super stiff driver shaft. He gamed speeder evo 1 in the non tour spec design before this change.

Here's an interesting analogy. I see the Butt section as the rear end of a sports car, the mid section is the engine and the tip is the transmission. ScottyD

Would you guys please do a comparison between Ventus velocore Blue/red vs HZRDUS RDX Blue/Black?! I’m stuck between Ventus or HZRDUS RDX, the only stock shaft available is the RDX black but I’m not sure that’s the shaft I really should be looking at. Currently using a older M3 with a project x red handcrafted 6.0 62G 3.2 Mid spin shaft. In terms of weight it feels about right but it just feels slightly dead, not to stiff or to bendy but it just doesn’t load quite right. I don’t know what the bend profile is in my current shaft but I would really like to feel a little more load in the Middle/Tip to really get a good feeling for where the club head is. Swing speed is between 100-105 depending on the day, I prefer stiffer iron shafts, gaming DG 120 S300. I would really like something with a hint more flex in the tip/middle for my driver just to get that extra load and feel for timing Etc... any idea which direction I should aim?

What clubhead was Matt using? Or did I miss that in the beginning?

Could you do a reveiw on the Fujikura speeder 45gram driver shaft please

I have a swing speed of about 80 to 85 mph. I got the blue shaft with my sim's. Are these shafts strong enough for me?

Love the nerd days...can’t wait for the day I can be fit by Ian.

I saw the video for the Ventus Blue. My swing speed and between 90-95mph. Woild this shaft benefit my speed?

Would love to see some fitting or swings with new shafts from men, or women, in the not so average(115 mph) range.

Have you guys ever thought about doing a video about fitting someone with extreme specifications? I am extremely short and need clubs that are -2.5 inches and 3* flat. This causes swingweight and flex issues and I would love to hear any stories about anyone you have fit with extreme specifications or how you would handle such a situation and/or what tools or tricks you would us (lead powder, hot melt, heavier heads, etc). I think it would make a great video for a lot of people who don' fit the "average"specs of the shelf. Keep up the great content! Love the channel.

Hi Guys... How does the Ventus Black 7 Xstiff compare against an Aldila NV 75 Xstiff ? Thanks. Cheers.

Hi Ian, one question. I’m always baffled as to why Matt’s efficiency is only 1.42 when he is hitting it dead center (5:05). Is that a GC issue? The smash factor seems to be very low for such good strikes.

And do you think its possible to use different types of balls and let us see the difference. I'm sure you are using Pro v. Or am I assuming? By the way I have the red 5 r in my Tour Edge C721 and I love it. My swing speed maxes out at 99mph. I'll be 60 in August.

I know it was a video about venture shafts but again Ian you showed what a good fitter would do because at first the black did not look like a good shaft for Matt a bit of a tweak with the weights and it’s a good shaft for Matt. It’s just where you go to get this high class fitting.

Would the red be best if you have a negative or neutral angle of attack?

Very interested to see if you guys could do a review specifically with a 2 iron like a" u500" or "p790" (with graphite shaft) compared to a more forgiving long iron that is bent to 17/18 degrees of loft. I was thinking of like a "ap3" or "apex19iron" . I think this video would be perfect for Matt !!! Lol.

I have looked on the web, but I can not find this shaft for sale any where. Any ideas?

I was wondering if these shafts can be fitted to the fairway wood

Seeing a lot of Ventus Red graphite shafts in Taylormade Irons. How do you feel Ventus Red shafts stiff irons shafts are for Irons. Haven't seen much around on Fuji Ventus irons shafts. Many thanks
