Evenflow anyone?

By black riptide assuming you are referring to the riptide and not the riptide lx or mx since there’s no shaft called black riptide.

If it’s just the riptide shaft it’s a lighter and slightly softer feeling evenflow blue. I don’t know the ei profile compared to the blue but in my testing they performed similar but the riptide didn’t feel as boardy in the handle when I got quick with it.

The term soft to flex doesn’t mean anything. Flex only matters with the line and weight of that shaft. 
 

Hzrdus black 6.0 isn’t the same as evenflow black 6.0

I am looking into getting an Evenflow blue to try as my ventus black I think is forcing me to not swing within myself. You know my swing isn't the best but is there a flex you would recommend at 110 mph? S3 states I should be in a 6.0

... Just keep in mind it isn't how fast you swing, but how you swing fast. If it is a quick hard load an x flex might work best. If it a smooth transition with an arc load an s flex might work better. And if you are in-between those two, you can always tip the s flex 1" to play between the s and x. I know many repeat this all the time, but getting fit is always a really good idea. Even at a golf store, they should be able to tell you how you are generating your swing speed and make a recommendation for flex. Every shaft is different but they should have shafts with a similar profile to an Even Flow Blue.

No. Because it comes down to how the shaft feels. Basing a decision on swing speed is a very basic starting point and with no standard in flex there’s no correlation between speed and flex. S3 and other sites have to use things like speed, 7i or driver distance to estimate a shaft. It’s almost as good a guess as anyone here saying use X shaft on Y flex.

I can tell you I know guys with your swing speed and were 5 and below handicaps that hated the evenflow blue in 6.0 and 6.5, I know another guy who liked it but wanted a slightly stiffer tip which is basically the evenflow black.

Unfortunatley there’s 3 ways to find a shaft. Blind buy something and try it, go somewhere an demo a bunch of shafts or go get fit.

Tried the stock stealth 2 shaft, Diana a a+ in 60g s. Liked the feel but didn’t hit well since I was rushed and not warmed up with my daughter at DSG.
