I've only been able to hit inside on a simulator twice but as many have said it's the most stable shaft I've hit. I have a Ventus Black 7X in a SIM fairway coming from a M5 Fairway with a Fuji Speeder Evo 757X and I was seeing 3-4mph ball speed increase and 10 yards further carry. Can't wait to get it outside to see the results but very promising so far.

I ordered a SIM 9 deg with Ventus Black 7X a few weeks back but according to TM the earliest shipping date was around 3/13 for the shaft. Have been anxiously waiting to get mine and test it out. Have been playing a really old Fuji Evo I Speeder 757 tour spec 7.2x and been waiting for a new Fuji shaft to move into since I hate the look of the blue/red shaft. Just performed so well it stayed in my driver but hoping this Ventus does the trick because the black will look good for years to come. Just wondering if I want to get a Ventus Black 8X in my TS3 3 wood or a Ventus Blue. Have T1100 right now and like the ball flight just don't love the feel. Anyone know if the Black or Blue Ventus would be more similar to that shaft?

Didn’t miss a fairway till 11 today, hit 2 blocks, but was my tempo, seemed longer than I was hitting the smoke.

I had it in my OG Epic today, but was hitting my 2016 GBB better last fall, trying that combo tomorrow.

Feels great, really stable.

Im right in that range and had a 6X untipped that held up just fine. Gave me a straight to baby fade ball flight, my miss is not the left side though so may be completely different for you.

Yep, driver pairing sealed for 2020, 2016 GBB with Ventus Black 6s, dual sliders, 46”.

2 guys we played with today said I was boring to watch off the tee, fairway after fairway today.

I have an old Fuji Motore Speeder 7.2TS that I trimmed down to fit; it used to be my favorite driver shaft. Now it's my second favorite shaft, with the Ventus Black taking the top spot.

This is what im trying to figure out too. Ideally id want a Ventus Blue but its hard finding a good price. Plus the eBay market is flooded with the "made for" blue and red TM shafts

 

Currently have a Tensei Pro Orange in my 3w but I want a little more spin. I've never tried the Pro Blue but thats also what im considering

Just switched to the Black 7x untipped in my driver, was curious about trying the black in my 3wood as well but having been using the Tensei Pro Blue 70TX for the last 4 years I am going to go with the Ventus Blue 7x tipped 1/2''. Still curious about the black but as others have said...can be expensive experiments lol

I’ve been hovering in the mid-upper 120’s lately and play the 7X untipped in a G410 LST. It seems counterproductive to tip this shaft as the tip is the stiffest part. Playing a baby fade right now that launches perfect and runs out plenty. Also playing the 8X untipped in a G410 LST 3 wood, launches super easy off the deck and just wants to go dead straight/slight fade. It’s a weapon in both clubs I have unreal confidence to aim down the left side and let it fly. Looking at picking up the 10X and sticking it in the G410 5 wood.
