3. Titleist TSi3, 8*, diamana whiteboard 70 stiff
4.  VENTUS TR Black 7S
5. I have been really intrigued with testing a Ventus black over the last couple years but have not had the opportunity where I live. Been in love with the whiteboard for many many years because I like the low launch low spin. Open to something different. 
6. Are you willing to do an in-depth written review, with high quality photos, and future updates? Of course!

3. Current driver setup?  Ventus Black 6X on Stealth Plus 8. I have a 7X as well that I sometimes get better results with. 
4. Which VENTUS TR shaft (Black or Red) and flex would you like to test?   Black - 6X or 7X. I can do head to head or cross between them all on course and TM. 
5. Why do you want to test Fujikura's newest line of Ventus TR shafts?  Because the Black is awesome but I can always use a spin reduction. 
6. Are you willing to do an in-depth written review, with high quality photos, and future updates?  Absolutely. Love the idea of contributing and bringing some depth/structure to the stuff I’m doing pretty regularly anyway (some might call it tinkering, I say seeking improvement).

4. Ventus TR Black 60s
5. I bought both the Blue and TR Blue, they both feel great but hit the ball too high and have a tendency to snap hook. I want to try the Black TR 60s to see how it goes vs the Kaili 60x and the other ventus I have. The Kaili hits the ball lower but I hate the feel. I’m in between x & s but getting older and do not feel like swinging hard all the time. My driver club head speed is between 105-115 depending on driver shot purpose. I need something that I don’t have to go at it to have the same shaft reaction which the blue is perfect for except it launches about 2-3* too high.
6. Yes I’m willing to write an in-depth review. I have a BSME and have been an engineer for more than 22 years with a lot of test report writing.

5) I have really struggled to find a shaft that I like in my 5/7 wood slot and think the Ventus Black TR would really help me keep the spin and launch in check and help me hit my numbers more consistently.

- Richmond, IN

- 3 hdcp

- Stealth Plus 8 degree set to lowest loft on sleeve.  Ventus Blue TR 6X shaft.

- I want to try the Black TR 5X

- The Blue TR is really good, but would be interested to compare the lower launching shaft in a lighter weight.  Want to see if I can keep spin and launch down in the lighter weight.

- I can test indoor and outdoor. I have a launch monitor for numbers and can compare to the blue TR.  Would love the opportunity.

5. I love my current set up. I’ve tested multiple head and shaft options and feel like my current set up is optimized. I’ve tested the non TR Ventus and loved it, but not enough to pay the money to upgrade from my current Atmos. 
6. Absolutely. Would love to. I bore my playing partners when they ask for club and shaft recommendations by getting to deep in the details, I’d love to have an audience that cares about the intricate details about the shaft that I’m testing.

I recently picked up the Ventus TR Blue and want to find something slightly more stable and low launching to fight my overdraw.

6. Are you willing to do an in-depth written review, with high quality photos, and future updates?

Absolutely! First thing would be to book some launch monitor time and compare the two head to head. Second post would be after some time on the course. Third post would be a long-term update.
