very niche comparison needed for us serious players, thank you

Wonderful review. Very informative and perfect comparison. Cheers! Will be trying the VF 7s here shortly - coming from a ventus black 7s so this review was perfect! Subscribed!

Almost feels like you could have been in 6S maybe for the Ventus Black since the dispersion was greater and spin was high? VF seems very promising on the numbers so far for you 👍🏼
@SydneyGolfTech8 ай бұрын
Definitely a Ventus black 6S could have been better but I don’t generally get any ball speed out of it. I just decided to try and do a like for like comparison.

Have you tried the Ventus TR Black 5S? I'm wondering how it preforms/feels compared to the VF 5S.
@chucksmerdon62568 ай бұрын
Appreciate the video. I was interested to see this comparison. VF has my attention. Currently gaming the Ventus Black 6X but want more speed so I'm interested in the VF 5X. It may just be a viable option...

Hi Greg, how does the vf compare to the ventus red 6s? You said the vf6s was too much, do you think the 6sr would be more user friendly than the 5s?
@PingDrv008 ай бұрын
You should have put it up against the TR Black?

How do you like that set up? Looking at the exact thing myself
@michaelocean47887 ай бұрын
Since you game the TSR3 driver, why not drop a 6g (-2g) weight in the head to lower the swing weight for a VF 6S shaft and see how that goes?
@SydneyGolfTech7 ай бұрын
The shaft feels quite stiff and heavy in the 6S and I found the results to be great with the 5. Swing weight and total weight are quite different parameters to me.
@yjk12347 ай бұрын
I tried both, feel wise ventus black tr. But If playing like very windy condition VF is much better option.

TR Black doesn’t feature in this video unfortunately. Maybe one for the future.

I have tried multiple heads and different shafts. I am not very shaft sensitive on fairway woods but am in driver. I can't find the center of any head with Ventus or Tensei. I can with Hazardus but it doesn't feel as good nor does the spin window consistency equal the Graphite Design. Graphite Design performs better for me and I find the middle of the club face more consistently and the spin/launch is better than any other shaft...again...for me.
@madflava218 ай бұрын
I do respect him wearing a fujikura patch on his shirt and saying the vf was better. Although, I suppose he couldn't really say anything other than that after posting the results.

I would like to test the VF. I got a fitting early this year and it was a choice between a ventus black and a VA nemesys. Both different profiles but went with the nemesys. Going to have to test it against the VF
@SydneyGolfTech8 ай бұрын
Sounds like an interesting fitting.
@TheFoz19838 ай бұрын
@@SydneyGolfTech went through lots of different shafts and got the most consistent numbers with them. I just went with what felt the best for me to swing and feel.
@euancameron47228 ай бұрын
Think it would be helpful if you could also tell what swing speed the shafts suit
@SydneyGolfTech8 ай бұрын
There’s no accurate guide but generally a 5S would suit somebody at 92-98mph. It can go higher and lower than that though.

I swing avg 107mph n good swings get to 111mph, i think i load the shaft on the medium hard side and transition on the slightly aggressive side of medium, do u think i can hit a vf tx?
@SydneyGolfTech8 ай бұрын
Im sure you could hit it, but whether or not it’s good for you is another question. I’d say at your speed the TX would be a little on the stiff side unless you hit down and need a lot of spin control.
@dso19868 ай бұрын
I do have a ventus black 7s that i dont love the feel of …i have to feel like i am really forcing the shaft to load in transition and sometimes i hit it higher than my currently my which is an ad di 6s … i think this happens because i have to swing so smoothly w di which it makes it go lower which is counter intuitive , di however has been feeling bit too wobbly lately…it would be nice if the vf felt somewhere in btw the two in terms of loading

What about dispersion? I’m more concerned about hitting from the short grass compared to the junk.
