This is an older picture of the Zeus (pictured is the original Zeus) also there are two models now out on the market, RT Technology really needs to update their website.

All silver Zeus (73 grams, Stiff Butt, Stiff Mid, Stiff Tip)
Copper & Silver Zeus LT (68g, Stiff Butt, Medium Mid, Stiff Tip)
Copper & Silver Zeus (no longer produced) (85g, Stiff Butt, Medium Mid, Stiff Tip)

I was like a lot of people on the golfWRX forum and had tried various shafts and settled in on the White Board 73 X. In a round of golf I took a good swing made great contact on the driver and completely exploded the white board tip, It was most likely cause by that shaft being moved around one two many club heads. I then set out to try a new driver shaft and happen to meet one of the distributors for RT Technology in Myrtle Beach, SC when I lived there for 2.5 years. He got me hooked on the RT Technology Zeus LT X.

What I saw back when i got fitted for my RT Technology Shafts
--> The shaft has higher torque then the white board (3.0 on RT vs 2.8 on WB) not something that I noticed at all
--> The RT has a tighter dispersion then the WB
--> The shafts bend point is mid/high on the RT rather then the High on the WB
--> Both feel pretty close to one another except the WB feels just a touch softer in the hands not by much the best way to describe the feel of the RT Zeus LT is SMOOTH
--> the RT seemed to spin slightly less then the WB but have slightly higher of a launch not by much, WB is just stupid low and RT is low.
--> RT Zeus Lt is described as the best recovering sub-70 gram shaft on the market, I have never had any issues with the shaft and a 115mph swing speed

Over all I found the RT Technology Zeus LT shaft to be a better fit for me then the WB, plus they are slightly cheaper at a retail of $200 rather then the WB of $300+

I was able to find a picture of the Zeus on the RT Technologies website here is a copy of that photo (the two closest shafts are the copper and silver paint, these happen to be the 85gram models) [attachment=1081166:rt_shafts.jpg]

I got fitted for a zues lt shaft a couple months ago. At first i only had an average gain of about 10 yards, but after a couple weeks i was hitting the ball around 30-40 yards further. Gone was the runaway banana ball. I discovered that my old shaft was bowing so much that i would come way over the top just to make clean contact. It was destroying my swing. I still struggle coming over the top and hooking and yanking the ball, but the driver head never gets lost in the transition to the downswing. Even my iron distances have gotten longer.

If you have a quick tempo and solid swing speed, your stock shaft could be holding back your entire tee to green game.

I was recently given a Zues tipped 1/2” to try and have worked with it on GC Quad. I had previously been playing a SIM 9* shafted with Project X HZDRUS Smoke Black 60 6.0. After multiple sessions and charting my data, I gained the following:

 

+1 mph clubhead speed

+1.5 mph ballspeed

-255 rpm

+1.29* launch angle

+11 yards carry

 

I’m blown away and a true believer! Anyone else experience similar with RT Technologies??

I have the OG Zeus (all silver) shafted up with a Titleist tip. Only hit it once at the range, but need to spend some more time with it to see how it stacks up today. Currently gaming Ventus TR Blue 6x.
