HZRDUS Smoke Blue RDX Vs Competing Shafts

Here I will demonstrate how the HZRDUS Smoke Blue RDX compares to its competitors in the golf shaft market as well as to its siblings in the series.

 

HZRDUS Smoke Blue RDX

 

Appearance

The blue PVD finish of the Smoke Blue gleams in the sunlight and makes quite a statement. The RDX branding is highlighted beneath the Smoke logo. And there’s also a Hexcel logo on the tip portion.

 

Experience

It has a medium to low kick point. The butt and tip portions are very stiff. But the mid part is very soft. The Smoke Blue feels smooth, well balanced and very stable.

 

Performance

The Smoke Blue’s softer midsection lets you use the shaft for most energy transfer to the ball. While it keeps the spin and launch low for more cutting flights and greater control.

 

HZRDUS Smoke Black

 

Appearance

The HZRDUS Smoke Black features a charcoal grey base and a large “HZRDUS” design.

 

Experience

There is very significant difference between the HZRDUS Smoke Blue and the HZRDUS Black. It is that the Smoke Blue has more torque. Thus the Smoke Blue has a smoother feel than the Smoke Black.

 

Performance

Look elsewhere if you’re hoping for a shaft with some kick with the HZRDUS Smoke Black. On the other hand the Smoke Blue is ideal for players who seek a shaft that can withstand even the strongest swings.

 

HZRDUS Smoke Green

 

Appearance

The Smoke Green’s Gamma PVD finish looks even better in person. The bulk of the shaft is a gleaming green, with blues, purples and even a tinge of orange at the tip. The HZRDUS Smoke Green has the same branding as the rest of the family but brighter colors.

 

Experience

The Smoke Green is attractive because it does not appear to be harsh. It may sound like the Smoke Blue but it’s not. It ups the ante no matter how hard you swing. So you can’t get this shaft to bend or kick appreciably.

 

Performance

The Smoke Green has a low spin, a low launch and great accuracy. This is the shaft you want in your driver if you play in strong winds or on quick courses.

 

HZRDUS Smoke Yellow

 

Appearance

The HZRDUS Smoke Yellow looks a lot different than its counterparts. This is because it’s not just a yellow shaft. The shaft is matte black and has the HZRDUS trademark. As well as the new “Smoke” emblem in a bright yellow.

 

Experience

The Smoke Yellow shaft is pleasant to touch with a pronounced mid-kick. The tip is quite stable and will handle forceful swings with ease. The Smoke Yellow like the Smoke Blue is counterbalanced with greater weight in the grip portion. This is to minimize swing weight.

 

Performance

The HZRDUS Smoke Yellow was releasing moon balls in comparison to the HZRDUS Smoke Blue. It was simply a typical mid/high window. But the shots appeared astronomically high in contrast despite the powerful ball flight.

 

Ventus Blue

 

Appearance

The dark navy hues of the Fujikura Ventus Blue are broken by silver branding in the top part of the shaft as well as the brand logo.

 

Experience

The Ventus’s tip is extremely rigid to avoid twisting. The Smoke Blue however is somewhat stiffer than the Ventus Blue. Even on toe or heel shots the Ventus feels quite solid upon impact.

 

Performance

Improved dispersion, ball speed and center face contact are all benefits of the Ventus Blue. The Ventus launches mid-low with very little spin.

 

Tensei Blue

 

Appearance

The Tensei Blue has a simple appearance. There is a woven cloth producing a stair-step pattern that goes down to a strip of Blue at the grip. Before the shaft changes to black at the tip there’s a narrow band of wraparound weaving. It has a Tensei logo on top of a plain grey backdrop.

 

Experience

We already know that the Smoke Blue’s rigidity is unrivaled but the Tensei seems tighter along the shaft. This shaft has a good mid-kick yet every portion feels quite stable.

 

Performance

The tip of the Tensei is somewhat more stable than that of the Smoke Blue. This is due to MRC’s low resin content in the shafts’ lower third. As a consequence performance is more constant and dispersion is tighter.

 

How much do HZRDUS Smoke Blue RDX shafts weigh?
