Low-Low Driver Shafts Like Fuji Pro 2.0


jjmurry

Recommended Posts

I have been playing the Fuji Pro 2.0 (non-tour spec) 7X in my driver for the better part of 9 months and am feeling a bit of an itch to try something a little different in my SIM Max 9* head. I'll likely end up back in the Pro 2.0 but want to try something new over the off season. For reference my swing speed is 110-112 and I am working on Superspeed protocols to bump the speed up over the off season. 

 

Requirements:

 

- Softer handle/Mid stiff/Tip stiff as I'm a bit of a handle dragger

- Holds up well for someone with a level to slightly downward attack angle

- Brand agnostic

- Looking for a bit more accuracy over distance (my miss is heel side) and love to play a 5 yard fade

 

A few I have my eye on:

 

- Tensei AV Orange 75TX or AV White 75TX

- Diamana DF

- Accra TZ5

- Any of the Ventus line

 

Thanks in advance!

I too like the pro 2.0. Why haven’t you tried the tour spec? I did for a while and it was a great shaft. 
 

also try the new motore x F3. Great softer handle shaft from Fuji.

 

you could always pick up an ATMOS black for cheap as well to mess around with. I think global golf has them for like $60

Could thrown Evenflow Black or White on this list in 6.5X 65 or 75g weight. I know they pitch it as a linear bend profile but they're definitely stable with great feel and I fit all the characteristics you described. For me it's Black 75g 6.5X but I'm also playing it 1/2" short of standard.

Tried the Evenflow White 6.5 a while back and just couldn't get a good feel of it, however the black sounds like it may be more my speed! I'll add it to my list.

Did you notice much difference between the regular fuji pro 2.0 vs the tour spec version? I've swung the motore x f1 and absolutely hated the feel (ball and club speeds were up by quite a few mph though...). Maybe I would like the f3 a little better.

Yeah the Pro 2.0 TS is definitely more stout, lower launch, and slightly more CB than the standard. The only reason i didnt keep mine was because it was slightly less consistent than the Motore X F3. I too hated the F1, lots of people do, the F3 is surprisingly good for a wide range of players. I would def hit the F3 if you can.

Based on this, I'd say Ventus Blue is what you are looking for.

 

Just put one in play a week ago and it's fantastic.

For me the white works in a hybrid but not in the driver. The white in the driver gave me some of the best and worst results and I couldn't tell why I would get one or the other. The black in driver is perfect for me, and I've got one in a fairway wood as well and would probably be happy with it in a hybrid but I have no need to tinker anymore. Best of luck. 

 

Don't be afraid to go pretty stiff in the black.

Try the Ventus black 7x.  After trying a bunch of different low launch/spin shafts I found that the Ventus black had the best numbers and dispersion for me.  It's pretty close to what you are looking for spec wise.  It also holds up very well for a very aggressive swing with a lot of lag such as myself.  It also doesn't balloon into the wind or when swinging out of your shoes on par 5s and reachable par 4s.  I found the Tensei white 7x to be the second best shaft for me and should be another good fit for you.

Second this, Ventus blue was a winner for me. I loved the fuji pro 2.0 in a hybrid (have yet to try the Ventus Velo HB) and the Ventus blue w/velocore paired nicely. 

 

As always, everyone is different so try to swing it before purchasing if possible.

Like the Fuji Pro 2 as well, Pro 2 TS is so so but I didn't love the feel.  Ventus Blue just ok, Ventus Black I don't care for at all.  Curious how the AD TP compares.  If not the TP which Tour AD shaft would be similar?  I too have a problem! 🙂

DF, Ventus Black, AV Raw white, CK Pro white, even the ZF are all good low/low shafts to look at.  As for the Accra TZ5 and RPG, it seems as though a few members here have been reporting them failing as in snapping/cracking.  I have tested all the previous shafts I mentioned minus the Accra.  All have great feel are low/low shafts and flat out perform.  The ZF is touted as mid, but to me launches closer to the mid low side.

In my opinion the M9003 is their lowest launching and spinning shaft. I have no experience with the Pro 2 though so cant compare the two.

My Graphite Design guy says the M9003 is pretty "boardy"  I would like to try one but not looking for something that feels like a pole.  I have had good luck/numbers with a HC Hzdrus Black but moved away because of the feel so not wanting another one of those.  How is the XC?

The M9003 feels really smooth to me. It’s softer in the handle but the tip is fierce. Stuff is so individual, but it’s worth a try if you need to lower launch and spin some. They’re just hard to find so I wish there was a more available replacement, but don’t know what it would be. Hzrdus black felt boardier to me than the 9003 with higher spin and launch. Haven’t tried the XC yet. Have you tried pro white?

I've tested it and it's on the boardy side.  It's one of the lowest launch shafts out there.  Gotta bring some serious heat to get the most out of it IMO.  Very few guys fit into it, but it's the ultimate low/low shaft.

I ordered an XC and a 1K  so I guess we will see, if the feel isn't what I want I guess they might be on BST soon 🙂

M9003.  I've also tested the XC last year when I went in for a driver fitting.  So much easier to load than the M9003.  Launches higher and spins a little more  It's not at all boardy.  Very smooth feel to it.  I can honestly say that it's GD's best low/low shaft to date in terms of feel, tech and dispersion IMO.
