I did a lot of research into it to see if it would work OK with my current head (Mavrik) and the consensus was that it should be pretty solid. I have a lighter weight coming for the Mavrik so that I can get the swingweight down to what is recommended. I was honestly going to look into it more at the end of the season, but then I'd have to wait several months before getting to use it. And the market for them is still hot. If I hate it and it doesn't work out, resale isn't too awful.

bens197 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Well I took the suggestion of @chisagbut also with a push from an email this morning that TaylorMade has a buy 3 get 1 free of golf balls. I went with the TP5 rather than the X and #34. I wore 43 in hockey...34 is a much better score in golf so I just flipped the script. I could have flipped a coin and went with the X but for me and how I am feeling right now, I believe the non-X is a better ball.

I'm considering putting it into a hybrid and cutting it down, but I don't want to mess swing weight up too much and have to add hot melt or different weights. its a good shaft, but its not really a true high launch shaft. Fujikura mentioned that its only very slightly higher launching than the blue. that 3 wood shaft is a 0.335". Most hybrids take a 0.370", some maybe a 0.355". Its possible that there are hybrids out there that take a 0.335", but it would definitely be more rare.

The designs paired with a head may help promote a swing that improves launch and/or spin. It’s why a majority of fitters start with the head and find the one that gives good launch characteristics then use the shaft to fine tune the setup to get the ball flight characteristics optimized.

Yeah, get what you are saying. What I was saying was if one person hits the Ventus Red vs. Ventus Blue, typically (not always) the end result will be slightly higher launch with the Ventus Red vs. the Ventus Blue. I'm not saying the shaft caused it vs. the person's reaction to the shaft, merely the end result. And for some golfers, they may have some completely different end result.

Your build thread has me eyeing some Modus 120x shaft pulls to swap into the Forged Tec heads... I'm like I can totally do this. Could be a fun activity... don't be surprised if you get a DM from me on what supplies to get and tips and tricks! haha sirchunksalot, ncwoz, GolfSpy_SHARK and 2 others 4 1 Quote Epic Max LS 10.5 - Motore X F3 6X | Speedzone 5-wood - Ventus Blue 8S | TSi3 20* Hybrid - KBS Proto 85S SMS Pro 4-PW - Steelfiber i110S | MG3 Raw Black 50.09, 54.11, 58.11 - DG TI S200 ER2B | Pro V1x | NX9 Slope | Jones Trouper R | CaddyLite EZ v8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
