hzrdus yellow

any average joe SS of around 100 using the 5.5 yellow？how does it feel and perform for you

[Storms]

Feel is very good, smooth but not boardy. In the rare event I try and get after it I don't feel like I can make it whippy like some other shafts. I was inbetween getting the 5.5 or 6.0 but I heard they play stiffer to flex so I went 5.5 and I'm happy with that. I'm a very smooth swinger and it's perfect

My SS is around 95ish, and I agree with this assessment, although I have an aggressive transition.

I was fitted by Ping and could have gone either 5.5 or 6.0, the numbers were very similar. I started with the 5.5 when I ordered my G400, and being curious, I picked up a 6.0 a couple of months later.

I find the 5.5 to be a tad smoother for me, and the 6.0 a bit "tighter". I'm more apt to lose the 6.0 to the right if I don't stay aggressive. However, I think I'm getting a little lower flight and more roll with the 6.0.

for me PX shafts play way stiffer than other brands.. I compare my evenflow 5.5 to a kurokage stiff and the evenflows feel a good bit stiffer.. I have a hzrdus in 6.0 and for me It feels terrible.. not saying its a terrible shaft as I know lots of people like it and swear by it.. just for me I get nothing out of it.. im looking at tour Ad in SR flex now to see if I can something out of my $500 epicflash coz until now the M1 I bought out of a discount bin is kicking the epics butt

Had some time to kill today, so dropped in to a local Dick's. The golf attendant had nothing to do, and I saw they had major price drop on the Tommy Armour Atomic line, so I tried the EvenFlow Red 5.5 (which is marked as an R-flex). On that scale, I had always heard the 5.0 is supposed to be "true" regular, while 5.5 plays firm and 6.0 is stiff. To me, the EvenFlow 5.5 played firm. I can draw a regular flex shaft, but the EvenFlow produced a consistent fade. The odd part is I felt like I was flexing the EvenFlow, but it just wasn't turning over for me. Nice feeling shaft, though!

Good inputs here, had been curious of the feel of that shaft for fw’s but was worried about it.

I had the 6.0 put in my driver and love it. I haven't had a chance to play with swing weight yet but so far I like it. I was worried about it feeling too stout since I've heard project x usually plays a little stiffer than normal but it feels just right to me. I believe the 5.5 would've been a little soft even for my average speed

I hover around 95mph and bought the Epic Flash with the Tensei AV Blue. After about 2 rounds, put a 6.0 hzrdus yellow in and added another weight to make it animal style. Put on about 15-20 in carry and now it's straight to fade. No fighting against the big left miss much anymore.

I'm in the 95-100mph range and went with the 5.5 hzrdus yellow 76g shaft. I was coming from the 106g Nunchuk driver shaft and wanted something lighter but not too light, with a similar flex pattern to the Nunchuk. Found this in golf shaft reviews profiles with a flex that looked similar to the Nuchuck. It was hard to find in the 76g as I don't think they make them anymore. I have loved it after a get to know the shaft period as I played with head weight to get it just right. Its straight, smooth, and long.

The funny part of the story is that I have been looking for a new driver for several years, and just could not find anything that beat my old Callaway RAZR Hawk Tour head with a Nunchuk. Several drivers came close, but I wasn't going to upgrade unless I saw a clear improvement. My existing gamer always came out on top if you include dispersion and FIR's. When I picked up the HZDUS yellow shaft off Ebay, I also noticed a RAZR Hawk Tour head that looked brand new for only $15, so figuring that identical heads will give me a great shaft comparison, so I ordered that too. Well the combo was so good I have stopped looking for a new driver, and I only spent $70 total for my new driver. So much for all the high tech new stuff.
