From my reading the green is a smoother black but still stout. The hulk version is a different beast all together. The design of the green was based on the hulk popularity and they softened it up fo the mere mortals, but as a someone who hated the telephone pole feel of the black I’m curious to hit the green. 

What is the specs of the green? Weight, and flex?

I would like to find a gently used 70, 6.5X or TX.

The 6.0 60g. Ordered it with my sim driver

The tx is the hulk and different profile from the 6.5.

This has been one of the best forums/chats I have found yet regarding the Rip Tide, so thank you all.  Trying out two drivers still, and just put a Titleist tip on the Rip Tide black tonight to hopefully try in the TS3 tomorrow.  The other combo I am trying is Cobra F9 with the Smoke Yellow with the heavy Ricki Fowler weights.  I have tried both combos with the Tensei Blue, and while they feel good, spin is still really high.

Part of it is likely delivery, as I am less up in my strike then I would like, but hoping these offer lower spin options for me.

If strike is the same on both my money is on the f9 and smoke yellow being lower spin than the TS3 and riptide... let us know though! I’m curious how you think they both feel.

I went with a 65g 6.5 Black at 45.5”. Took it out yesterday and I liked the consistency. I play a STD+ non taper grip so I can choke up a smidge if I want to play at 45”.  It is a smoother feeling, slightly less penetrating option than my HZRDUS Yellow with excellent carry.

Spin and ball speed were better on the TS3 with the RipTide...BUT, direction was tougher to get consistent results.  This is likely because it was a 10.5 degree, turned down to 9.75.  That means, but Titleist standards, it was pretty open.  So like the junkie-fiend gear person I am I sold the TS3 10.5 and got an 8.5 on the way (not to mention made $50 on the deal, and the new comes with a Project X HZRDUS Black Handcrafted.  The plan is to turn the 8.5 up to close the face down a bit, and see what happens.  I will keep you in the loop!

I’m playing the Even flow 6.0 stiff 75 gram in my Ping G410 plus: I’ve posted a couple times about my experience so far after about 10 rounds... Long story short I’m a fan of this shaft!

Edit: I’m no longer a fan of this shaft: it’s 100% my fault for buying a driver when I’m not in “golf form” but my swing speed is just too much for it anymore, and I’m basically trying to time the face on every swing. And if I could do that successfully, I’d be a much better player!

I just ordered a new Driver & 3W with the White.  The combination of the TS4 and the EF White @ 85 grams was incredible - knocked 1000 RPM off my current setup. Only needed a 6.0 since the shaft is heavier and the tip stiffer than most. Specs below (but driver will actually be 0.5" short):

I have the evenflow black in a G400 LST I bought over the winter. Had no idea what it would look like when I went to the course. The driver is a very hot and cold part of my game, and mostly, it was cold. Trouble with hooking the ball and poor contact with my old driver.

This combo has been a god send. I have been bashing the ball and the left miss is almost completely out of play. My carry distance has gone up and my dispersion is tightening up as well. That head is no joke, but this combo has been awesome for me.

I went from a EF blue 6.0 to a black 6.5  in a Callaway Rogue.  Not fitted, just found a great deal on ta bare shaft and put the tip on as a cheap quick test.  Like newballcoach up there ^^^  the shaft has been a huge improvement for me.  The left miss is gone but still have workability and according to my Arccos data there has been no noticeable change in distance.  I never liked the feel of the HZRDUS shafts, and while the Blue felt great it was all over the place.  The black is a great compromise

I've just about decided sometime this fall, I'd like to try a red Evenflow. We'll see how the new Grafalloy / Golfworks ProLaunch shaft works, but I'm always up for an experiment.

By red evenflow are you referring to the evenflow riptide?

[therod]

No, they make a red version that's high launch. It might be a made-for version that TaylorMades uses, not sure exactly. But I'm probably going to try a high launching shaft in my recently acquired F9.

PX has no evenflow red and have no made for shafts for any manufacturer. Could it be the ventus red you are referring to?

I believe [mention]therod [/mention] is referring to the “max carry” model. It was on the M6 last year I believe.

Yep, this exists. Its a pretty good shaft, I owned one recently but sold it.

I remember that shaft and after spending time on Project X website researching what shaft I wanted in my sim driver I didn’t recall seeing it there. I just went to their site and its non longer Project X website and it’s not an offering on TMs site either. Iirc that shaft came out in 2017 or 2018 and don’t recall it being a widely sight after option.

Yeah I went right to the PX site too and was confused. I was like I know I’ve held it in my hands... I know it exists! Haha

Must not have been very popular outside of being an option for TM. I don’t recall seeing it in any other OEM lineup.

Yeah it’s one that I haven’t seen any real reviews or feedback on since release. Iirc it was available in Callaway and maybe Cobra when it was released

[therod]

Yes it does seem strange. I just think a higher launching shaft would be good for me, and I like the Evenflow idea / design concept, and they're available on eBay.

Evenflow is a great option and the max carry shaft fits the high launch concept you are looking for.

I have the Evenflow Blue 5.0 55g paired with a PXG 0811X Gen 1 head.

I had the Even Flow White 6.5 75 in my Titleist TS3 driver, I recently upgraded to a Callaway Mavrik driver with the Aldila Rogue white shaft.

I would like to get an even flow white like i had in my Titleist for the Callaway, just loved the way the shaft felt and performed.

[jayjay0808]

I have tried the EF, and for my swing it just didn't compare to the standard Smoke Green/Black/Yellow. I tend to have a pretty violent tempo but even the White and Black EF didn't provide me with my optimized numbers

Dude I have the Mavrik with aldila rogue white shaft as well. Love it, allows me to move the ball in both directions

I have a green 65g shaft in my Callaway Epic 3-wood, it felt like a cheat code going from 710 3-wood to this from the head to the shaft. 

 

 

[Sluggo42]

Ive got the 6.0 50g Riptide in my new MavriK  I like it a lot
