... It really doesn't get any better than either of those IF they fit your swing. The Tensei Blue Xlink is in the top 3 shafts every time I demo a driver. Very popular on the LPGA Tour as well. It is one of those middle of the bell curve in almost every way with a mid flex, mid trajectory and mid spin but very, very smooth feeling so it fits a wide range of players. The fact that it produces almost identical performance compared to the AD-IZ and Red Velocore says a lot about how good it is and can be found in many OEM heads as a stock shaft6 or no uncharge custom option. But it is not really a shaft for a hard hitter or aggressive swinger. 

... The biggest problem with the Exotics brand is they tend to sound/feel very explosive with a high pitched signature, and the head shapes and graphics are not pleasing to a traditionalists eyes. David Good the CEO and owner that started Tour Edge in his garage selling only locally in Chicago and the burbs really likes to be different. He does much better World Wide than here in the States. His fairway woods have always had a cult like following. Ahead of his time he introduced the first real hybrid called the  "Lift Off"  Iron Wood that was a cross between a fairway wood and an iron and it is the club that took him out of his garage and into a warehouse with worldwide distribution. 

I guess to be fair, I have not hit the Xlink version, just the Raw version. The Tensei AV series shafts are really good, to be sure, as I always like the AV Raw White in my TSi3. Very interesting about Tour Edge, I did not know any of that. Thanks for the info share, Sam!

... De nada amigo. The Blue Xlink is just an updated version of the Blue Raw so very similar and really not a shaft for you from what I have seen in your videos. You're young, strong and more aggressive so at this point in your swing journey so I can see where the Raw White (or Even Flow Black) would be a better fit.

What is interesting is I just got a Ventus TR Blue last week and it is certainly more "bendy" for lack of a better term through the mid section of the shaft, it was producing better numbers and visual dispersion on the range for me last week than the AV White. Absolutely LOVE the feel. It is a 6R as well, which I was a bit leery about because of my swing speed. I was cruising around 107 last week which is way high for what I thought I was around, and getting to 109 without feeling like I was having to try hard. It held up really well, and on good strikes spin was in the 2700ish range. Still would like to try a 6S but love the launch profile and peak height I was getting (according to Mevo).

... Not surprised at all that it works well for you as the TR Blue is much too stout for my swing. I play the Velo Red which is very popular on the LPGA with sub 100mph smooth swings while the Blue and Blue TR are much more popular on the PGA with more aggressive swings. From Fuji: 

"A powerful combination of stability and feel, TR Blue maintains an ultra-stiff tip section for superior control at impact. Increased torsional stiffness creates a profile with enhanced load capabilities for more aggressive swings while maintaining a smooth overall feel."

That is what it is to a tee, too. I feel like I can go after the ball and know exactly where the clubhead is. A great line of shafts, no doubt.

[Dooby]

Interesting result as I play a variation of the driver recommended for me. And the backup option is the one that I would’ve had my eye on if not for a Cobra actually. 

[GolfSpy_APH]

It was time for me to reup my results for TGF and see how I managed. The new data and drivers are all into the system so it is time to see where your results landed!

 

[GolfSpy_APH]

This is the full scope of my second option. 

[EugeGall]

Interesting results......

[Low flying dog]

[TSauer]

Interesting......

 

[GolfSpy_BEN]

Love this shaft, so this is intriguing.

My results 

[fourwaymiss]

I was surprised by the top recommendation, but the club and the shaft. I've tested multiple drivers on Hzrdus shafts and wasn't a huge fan of them - felt like I couldn't feel where the clubhead was. This is certainly making me rethink what my next big dog could be... 

2nd choice was bit more traditional. Not sure why there wasn't a shaft recommendation for Option 2.

First option was surprising:

And the second option was downright shocking:

[GolfSpy_KFT]

Not a huge surprise for me here with option #1 as I have been playing the TSi3 for the past few seasons, but have never liked the feel of the HZRDUS shafts, let alone a 70g driver shaft. Typically play the 60g versions, but you never know!

I  hit the G430 Max 10K at a fitting this year with the Tour 2.0 Black 65 in X-Stiff and was really impressed. I would like to try the LST head, too, just for fun now given this haha. The Tour 2.0 Black Stiff was a really good feeling shaft, FWIW.

[poprocksncoke]

@GolfSpy_KFT looks like we got the same results.  I too prefer a shaft in the 60g range.  

Haven't hit a Titleist driver since the 975D and was not a fan, If I get a chance maybe I'll see if I can hit a TSR3 sometime.

[Skrizan]

Not a surprise to see the PING as the G410 Plus has been awesome for me.

[Rob Person]

The only option I do not know is my AoA. So I redid it for each option.

These pictured both came up twice. The 3rd time I got the xxio and the tsr1.

All shafts were regular flex. From 40-50g weight.

 

[Willie T]

Decided to see what the app recommended….interesting as I have been thinking a lot about the Cobra line of late…

And I REALLY loved the TItleist driver on the rental set last summer in the DR, so I may need to keep this one in mind…

have never swung either shaft…so maybe it’s time…

[GolfSpy_BNG]

I’ve gamed option 2 but the top choice surprised me

[TJ Hall]

Interesting results…having issues uploading the first option, but it is the Tour Edge Exotics E723 (Mitsubishi Chemical AV Blue Shaft).  Not sure I would have considered that as an option…

Second option:  

The Titleist online fitting had me between a TSR2 and 3.  

[KC Golf]

It’s saying Qi10 LS or the PXG 0311 Gen 6.  Surprisingly, I have never tried anything after the Gen 2 PXG.  I will definitely try that.  The PXG fit shaft is Diamana S+. Another interesting choice.

This is really interesting stuff when you start tweaking parameters…

[berkeleybob]

I’m a little surprised that it’s recommending LS models.

 

 

[Bortery]

I am really surprised it suggested a stiff shaft for me. I would have figured a regular flex. 

[Josh Parker]

I'm actually gaming the one it suggests for me, minus the shaft which has been swapped out with the Newton 5 dot.  

These numbers match up pretty well to what my FlightScope says is my optimal numbers as well.

Ball Speed 154.3 vs 156 - Launch suggestions 15.2 vs 14 - Spin 1674 vs 1987

The TSR3 is a great driver, and I currently game it.  I got the same outcome as well.

This is literally my exact same result.
