The Project X EvenFlow shafts are a great counterpoint to the HZRDUS line. Very smooth feel with consistent performance.
Introduction
Project X has been riding a tremendous hot streak with their HZRDUS family of shafts. These shafts have been in the bags of countless pros and have stacked up wins across professional golf.
The problem is that if you don’t have some serious power, or you just want a shaft with more kick, HZRDUS isn’t for you. For those players, Project X delivers the long-awaited EvenFlow Blue and EvenFlow Black.
Looks
The Even Flow Blue and Black are some of the most stunning shafts I’ve seen. The main graphic and branding are fairly basic, but the underlying pattern and color are dynamite. The blue is one of my favorites of all time, and even the black version is somehow mesmerizing. I did my best with pictures, but these need to be seen in person to be truly appreciated.
Feel
The key word with EvenFlow is “smooth.” Both models produce a feel that is effortlessly powerful.
EvenFlow Blue is the model with the bigger kick. Whether I swung it hard or soft, I felt it hinge right around the logo and explode into the back of the ball.
EvenFlow Black has the same smooth feel but without that distinct kick point. With the Black, I felt more of an even energy transfer from grip to tip. For the players transitioning from HZRDUS, the Black will likely be the better choice.
Performance
When I first hit EvenFlow Blue, it felt fast. When I got on the launch monitor, those feelings were confirmed – I saw ball speeds that I have not seen lately. EvenFlow Black was very strong as well, with ball speeds as high as any other shaft except the Blue.
EvenFlow Blue was also noticeably higher launching than EvenFlow Black. In the averages that went into the chart above, the differences were not huge. However, on the range, which included some outliers, the Blue flew markedly higher.
For my swing and shot shape preferences, the EvenFlow Black was a perfect fit. Unless I did something really odd with my swing, the ball just went straight. With the EvenFlow Blue, the tendency was a small draw. I could get the Blue to over-draw, but I never saw the low hook that I deplore. Either of these shafts could easily be a gamer for me, but my preference runs toward the slightly stiffer EvenFlow Black.
Conclusion
Project X took their time in creating a follow up the HZRDUS line, and the result was worth the wait. The EvenFlow shafts have tremendous feel and the stability that stronger players need. If you like a smooth feel with effortless kick, these are two shafts you need to check out.

Good info on the new shafts. Why not have a review by two different swing speeds, 1 at 100 mph or more and 1 at 95 mph or less so all swing speeds are covered and results for a broader group will have an idea of what to expect.
William,
There are logistic realities that prevent that. Also, and perhaps more importantly, we do not publish the LM data so that people can self fit. It’s simply an illustration of what we discuss in the Performance section. We strongly suggest everyone work with a fitter to find the shaft that works best for their swing.

Hi Matt.i just got a callaway rogue..I ordered it with a project X even flow blue regular shaft.i swing at 95 mph ..I like regular shaft feels like more lag then stiff shaft for me.i live in Portland Maine so there snow.it came with a synergy regular shaft.im a low ball hitter ..I like 9 degree loft..synergy doesn’t feel bad at the range.but i only have 30 to request a even flow shaft exchange.what shaft would be best..there both..mid–mid launch.what I’ve read.thx Richie
Richie,
There’s no way for me to know that without seeing you in person. My best recommendation would be to find a golf store or a fitter or a range where you can hit the club you have on a launch monitor and see if you’re happy with the results.
Best,
Matt
Great feedback as usual. How would these compare to the Speeder Evo II line? I’m a big fan of the Evo II 569, and the EvenFlow Blue is appealing for a try.
For me, the EvenFlow Black is closer to the Speeder Evo II in feel. The Blue has more kick.
-Matt
I love the Project X HC Red in my 3 wood. Which of the Evenflow shafts resemble the red most closely? Thanks for the review

Nippon Modus 120
Blake,
Are your referring to the HZRDUS Red?
-Matt
I currently game the hzrdus yellow 5.5 63g, 76g for my driver and 3 wood respectively. Id like to either add the even floor blue or black for my rogue 3 hybrid but want to get something that has the same feeling as the hzrdus yellow. Any recommendations between the two shafts?
Eli,
I don’t think either of the EvenFlow shafts will feel like the HZRDUS Yellow, but the Black will be closer than the Blue.
Best,
Matt
Matt,
Great review as always!! Wondering which is more comparable to Evo3 661x?
Thanks
Dan
Dan,
I think the Blue is closer to the feel of the Speeders.

I’ve been playing Aldila NV65 and Tour Green in my driver for quite some time. Would the Black have a similar feel to those?
Tom,
No, the Black is much smoother.

How does this shaft compare to the tensei orange??
Tim,
In what regard? I have a review of the Tensei Orange on the site: https://pluggedingolf.com/mitsubishi-tensei-orange-shaft-review/
Best,
Matt
Matt,
When you say that the Even Flow blue has “more kick”. What do you mean by that? Does it have a lower kick point? I launch the ball very high, the last thing I want is a low kick point that would launch it higher. Thank you.
Tom,
The kick point is in the same spot, but the kick is more pronounced.
Best,
Matt
Great review! I am hoping to demo these in the Epic head soon. I’ve been hitting the hzrdus t800 as well as the Rogue Max and was wondering your opinion on which of the EvenFlow shafts may be a better fit?
I am a high spin player with a mid flight. My driver swing speed is 110-114.
Thanks!
Kyle,
If you like the HZRDUS, the EvenFlow Black will probably be a better fit.
Best,
Matt
Matt,
Thanks for the reply. I will start with the black and see how that goes.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks,
Kyle
How would the Even Flow Black 75 6.0 compare to the Oban Devotion 7 04? Would they be similar in terms of stiffness, launch etc. for the same swing? I play the Devotion in my driver and was curious about the characteristics of Black.
Amit,
That comparison will depend on the swing. I would recommend visiting a fitter to see if the EvenFlow can beat your Devotion.
Best,
Matt
If currently I play the Aldila Rogue Black (74g, 3.3 torque, stiff flex) and my numbers are 15 launch and 2400 spin, would you recommend the even flow black or blue? Definitely plan on hitting before buying, just wondering what you’d recommend. Thanks!
Parker,
What are you looking for the new shaft to do? Feel different, lower spin, higher launch, more accurate? Your answer would dictate my recommendation.
Best,
Matt
Looking to keep the great feel that I have with the Rogue. Really just want something that I won’t feel the lag so much with. I guess the real question is, in your opinion, is the even flow black as harsh as the HZRDUS black shaft? Wanted to lower my spin some, just don’t want something that’s boardy, similar to the HZRDUS black.
Parker,
Neither of the EvenFlow shafts feel anything like the HZRDUS shafts.

Matt
Hey Matt, I was interested in the hybrid versions of this shaft, how would these compare to the classic Altus and 904HB’s?
Thanks!
Don,
I haven’t hit the hybrid versions so I can’t say.
Best,
Matt
Hi, if my swing speed is 100-107 you think the stiff version of the blue could be enough because I see from your pics that the 6.5 x works on 107-108 .
Thanks
Jacopo,
It certainly could be, but the only way to know if it works for you is to test it.
Best,
Matt
Hey Matt,
I could really use your help as I’ve been researching crazeee for a different shaft as I’ve played they Aldila 65g & 75g Stiff for the last 4-5 years in my Taylormade Burner(WHICH I LOVE)- The problem is that I have an M4 and I feel that the tip(adapter) is too stiff for my STIFF club and I’m not getting enough KICK- I’ve hit some GREAT shots, but that HOOK will show up from time to time. I’ve heard that happening in the M-Series. Would the Even Flow Blue 55g Stiff or Black 65 g Stiff be comparable to my Aldila 65 Stiff to give me the smoothness and desired KICK that I’m looking for to go out and SWING FREELY? I feel your knowledge and answer can guide me in the right direction! Thank you so much!!!
Ty
Ty,
Which Aldila model are you playing now? It’s hard to give any advice without knowing that.
Best,
Matt
Hi,
Hope you can help? I’ve been looking for a light weight soft tip replacement shaft…..I broke my Miyazaki 5R with a flex code of 3553
My swing speed is around 110. …I also have a 10.5 deg. Epic
I generally don’t hit the ball very high so I would like to see it higher
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Allan,
If you’re looking at the EvenFlow line, I would suggest the Blue over the Black for a softer tip. More generally, I would suggest working with a fitter like Club Champion or True Spec to find the right shaft for you.
Best,
Matt
What flex did you test?
Scoo,
6.5
-Matt
Thanks! I have a similar swing speed to you Matt (105-109mph). I was thinking about getting the M3 from TM but the stiffest Even Flow they offer is 6.0. Do you think it would not be stiff enough for me? As the 6.5 is not offered by TM I obviously won’t have a chance to compare them…
Scoo,
There’s no way for me to say definitively based only on swing speed. There could certainly be people at that speed who fit the 6.0. Speaking generally, I think the 6.0 would probably be a little soft at that speed, particularly if your transition is a little aggressive and/or you tend toward a hook.
Best,
Matt
Hey Matt,
I’m playing the Aldila NV Green 75gm Stiff
with 3.3 Torque-
Thanks,
Ty
Ty,
The EvenFlow Black will be closer to the NV than the Blue, but neither is that similar. I would recommend working with a fitter like Club Champion or True Spec to find the best combination for you.
-Matt
Matt,
Sorry for hammering away..I just really wanted your thoughts on which shaft would give me a little more kick and smoothness with this newer head(M4) than my Taylormade Burner- Not necessarily looking for a similar Shaft as the NV.
Thanks for your thoughts-
Ty
Ty,
If you want more kick and feel, I would recommend the Blue. It’s one of my favorite feeling shafts of the last few years.
Best,
Matt
Hi Matt,
You probably know the answer – is the Evenflow blue shaft that comes stock with the Rogue driver “real” or is it a “made-for” product?
Also – how does it compare to the AD IZ shaft you reviewed recently? Thinking about pairing either with a G400 LST driver I have.
Got one paired with a 9-degree Rogue head and I like it a lot – surprisingly it launches higher as if the driver head is at 10 degrees. It reminds me of the old tour 7B3 shaft.
Thanks.
Roger,
The stock EvenFlow is not the same as the Hand Crafted after market version.
Both the EvenFlow Blue and the AD IZ are shafts with a lot of life in them, but the type of action is unique.
Best,
Matt
Been gaming a Mitsubishi Diamana B (S flex) for several years and it’s time to upgrade now that I have purchased a G400 LST driver. My local fitter didn’t have the Even Flow w/ a Ping adaptor so I couldn’t test it. It sounds like it may be a potential replacement for the Diamana B based upon your review for both of these shaft. Thoughts?
Thank you for your time,
BT
Brian,
It’s certainly a possibility. Why do you want to replace the Diamana?
-Matt
It was on a TM SLDR I recently sold…though I may get on Ebay and see if I can’t find another one for the Ping.
How does the Blue compare to the Original Diamana BlueBoard?
Tried to find the Freq. Chart for the EF Blue but no luck
Marc,
I think the EvenFlow Blue is more active than the BlueBoard.
Best,
Matt
Do have peak height stats from the range? Just curious of the height difference between the two. Thanks
Landon,
No, that’s not something I record.
Best,
Matt
Matt,
Is there any weight distribution difference between the blue and the black, like there is in the hzrdus line between the black and the red?
Randy,
Nothing significant like in the HZRDUS line where some are counter weighted an some aren’t.
Best,
Matt
Hi Mat,
I have just ordered up the new Rogue sub zero driver with the Hazerdus x flex 70g shaft as I love the feeling and the results were perfect for what I was looking for.
I’m now looking to get the 13.5 degree sub zero 3 wood and have tried the evenflow x flex which felt totally different to the hazurdus shaft . I also tried the hazurdus in the 3 wood but didn’t like the boardy feel which I preffer in the driver.
question is- without being able to test the x flex black . what would your recommendations be for what I’m looking for, which is something that launches with low spin and will be easy to get airborne off the ground as well?
cheers
Billy
Billy,
With my standard caveat of “only a qualified fitter who sees you in person could really know,” the EvenFlow will probably be easier to launch than the HZRDUS, but the HZRDUS will likely be lower spinning.
Best,
Matt
Hey Matt, awesome review as usual. Question… being you reviewed both, how would you compare the Even Foow shafts to the Project X LZ driver shafts? Similar or not at all? #Curious
TJ,
Very different feels. The EvenFlow have a flowing energy transfer, very smooth. The LZ has a clear bend point that loads and kicks.
Best,
Matt
HI MR MATT, can you compare fujirka vista pro to the even flow blue shaft. Thanks.
Bob,
I haven’t hit the Vista Pro in a long time, so I’d be hesitant to offer any comparisons.
-Matt
Hi Matt
Good reviews always. Just checking which of these two will be closer to Aldila rogue silver
Lindile,
Neither is very close, but the Black is closer.
Best,
Matt
Matt,
Thank you for the review. I currently have the T800 55g 6.0 in my Epic subzero and am considering the evenflow black 65g 6.0. would I notice a difference?
Gara,
I think there is a substantial difference.
Best,
Matt
Matt,
You were correct what a difference from the T800. The black 65g is hands down substantially better. I have a much tighter dispersion on my drives and I’ve picked up distance. My average drive went from 265-270 to 285.
Thank you!
Gara,
Great to hear it!
Best,
Matt
Matt,
Thanks for the review. Do you have any insight on the project x even flow blue compared to the Fujikura vista pro 65? I play the vista pro 65 in my 3-wood and love it, but I’m not quite liking the results when the vista pro driver shaft is put in my R15 driver. The head of the R15 is on the heavier side so I’m looking for a lighter shaft to help increase swing speeds, while not sacrificing too much accuracy, as I have a swing speed on the slower end of the spectrum.
Thanks in advance!
Nique,
I haven’t compared the two. I would recommend working with a qualified fitter to find a shaft that works well in your driver.
Best,
Matt
Hi Matt
How would you compare these to the Graphite Design GD DI that you have reveiwed in terms of feel and ball flight.
Cheers
Jason,
If you’ve read both reviews, there’s not much I can add. I haven’t tested them head to head, so I can’t give any definitive information.
Best,
Matt
Matt, I would be interested to get your thoughts on if the Blue or Black is a closer match to an Accra Tour Z M4. Sadly mine cracked and I really enjoyed the smoothness through the swing and impact. I really enjoy that I can feel where the clubhead is through my hands from the top of my backswing to past impact
Glen,
I don’t have any recent experience with Accra shafts, so I don’t have any good info to provide.
Best,
Matt
How would you compare these shafts to the Graphite Design AD DI 7?
Alexander,
My review of the AD DI is here: https://pluggedingolf.com/graphite-designs-tour-ad-di-shaft-review/
Best,
Matt
I rely on these reviews allot, and as a 88 to 91 mph swinger, it is a joke to be told to “get fit” I know I would be in a GD ADDI 5R1 OR 5R2 and you get to the fitters and all they have are 6s, 6x 7s, and 7x. Getting fit for slow swing speeds is a joke because they do jot carry made up shafts for us to try out and we do need more input from sites for us.
Keith,
I’m not sure where you’re going to get fit, but I know that Club Champion and True Spec both carry plenty of shafts in regular and R2 flexes and lighter weights.
I appreciate that “Get fit” may not be satisfying advice, but it’s the correct advice. No one can give an accurate recommendation without working with you in person.
Best,
Matt
Matt,
Did the EvenFlow Blue ever feel whippy or loose? Once you got off the launch monitor and out into the field, was the dispersion of the Blue pretty dependable? Also, any chance the EvenFlow Hybrid shafts will get a stand-alone review in the near future?
I appreciate your reviews. It typically gives me a good starting point when I go to work with a fitter. I can propose 2 or 3 shafts I’m interested in. Sometimes they fit and sometimes they don’t. Either way, the reviews are enjoyable to read.
Thank you!
Blake
Blake,
Easy one first: I don’t have any plans for an EvenFlow hybrid shaft review at the moment, but if there’s enough call for one, I’ll do it.
I found the Blue to be very predictable in that the ball would generally go straight or draw. I didn’t feel like it was too loose, but I enjoy a shaft with some action in it. I could easily see how someone else might characterize it as whippy.
Best,
Matt
Matt-
I am a scratch golfer and have not found a good driver shaft fit for me in several years. I currently use a Big Bertha alpha with the stock Fubuki 60 shaft. I have about 107-110 sp.
with a slower transition and tempo. Everything new that I have tried feels to boardy. I need a softer feeling
shaft with stability. I am looking into a M3 with either the 6.0 Hazardous red or even flow 6.0 blue.
Any opinion ?
Thanks
Jim,
The EvenFlow will be smoother, but the best approach would be to work with a fitter.
Best,
Matt
I have found that neither the Blue or Black is suitable for slower swing speeds. Wouldn’t recommend either one.
Not a very thorough review merely based on your swing speed.
Jim,
No one with a slower swing should use either of these shafts? Any reasoning behind this?
-Matt
Jim… I would disagree. My driver swing speed is around 90 and the Black EF stiff flex knocked my Devotion 6 O3 (tipped 3/4″) out of the bag. I was also able to move up to the 10.5* Ping G LS Tec and Epic SZ heads with this shaft. I also have a quick transition and sometimes get long in the back swing so the Black performed better than the Blue.
Matt , always good reviews! Thank you. My swing speed is 85-87. I currently have the the Alta CB 55 shaft. That shaft feels whippy. Would the Evenflow 55 regular shaft be a better fit?
Larry,
There’s no way to know unless you work with a fitter. To me, the EvenFlow Blue, and even Black, have more action than the Alta.
Best,
Matt
Matt,
Good Morning. I’ve been hitting a Taylormade M2 with the blue Evenflow (6.5, 75g) in it for the past 6 months or so. Are these shafts prone to snapping? Mine snapped approximately 6-8 inches up from the hozzle.
Scott,
I haven’t heard that snapping is a common problem with the EvenFlow.
Best,
Matt
Is there a huge difference between the hand crafted versions or should I save my money and get the mass produced version? What’s your take.
Matthew,
They’re not the same shaft, so it’s not a matter of better/worse as much as it a question of which one fits your swing.
Best,
Matt
Hi, Currently play the older blue project X 6.5 in my hybrid, should I go with the evenflow 6.5 or Fujikura Pro 2.0?
Thanks Jack
Jack,
Neither of those is as stiff as the old blue Project X you’re currently playing. I would suggest going for a fitting to find a new hybrid shaft.
Best,
Matt
Hi Matt,
I currently play and Aldila DVS 60 regular flex shaft. This has been a good fit for me, but is obviously an older shaft. Would the Evenflow Blue be a good replacement? Thanks.
Ken,
It might be. Only a good fitter working with you in person can say for sure.
Best,
Matt
I got fitted to the fujikura Pro 2.0- 6X but dont want to spend 250 dollars on a shaft. Is the even flow blue somewhat comparable?
Jason,
No, those are not two shafts I would think to compare. I would recommend either delaying your purchase until you can buy what was recommended or talking to your fitter about less expensive options.
Best,
Matt
What am I missing when the specs are all very similar?
Jason,
The feel is entirely different to me. I don’t put much stock in shaft specs. There are no industry standards.
Best,
Matt
Ok I called Callaway and they said the closest would be aldila synergy 60 graphite x stiff
Matt,
Currently playing the stock Mitsu Kuro Kage TiNi in my TM M1.
I’m a true 10 hdcp, swing just under 100 and am prone to a massive slice with this shaft or a ballooning fade. I have a hard transition.
How do these shafts compare to my current shaft? Need a change and thought maybe I can start with these to get some direction.
I’ve been custom fit for every club in my bag, including current driver and putter… just not happy with shaft now that I’ve aged.
Tyler,
Both EvenFlow shafts have much more kick than the Kuro Kage and neither has as stiff a tip.
Best,
Matt
Hi Matt. Thanks for the review. How would you compare the Even Flow 6.0 65 G. Stiff to the Fujikura Pro Green 62 Stiff? Thank you.

Hi Matt. Have you hit the Evenflow T1100? If so, how does the Evenflow Black compare with the Evenflow T1100? Thank.
Kirk,
I have hit the stock T1100 that comes in the Titleist TS woods, but I haven’t test the T1100 head to head with the Black. They’re fairly similar, but my sense is that the T1100 is a little less active.
Best,
Matt
How different are these shaft from Aldila tour Blue/Green ?
Even flow Blue and Aldila tour Blue have similar feeling or totally different things?
and I have same question regarding Even flow Black and Aldila tour Green?
Tour Green and Blue are more solid (need more fast club speed) than Even Flow Black and Blue?
I would not put the Aldilas and the EvenFlows in the same category at all.

Pingback: Project X EvenFlow T1100 White Shaft Review - Plugged In Golf
Hi Matt:
Just came across your reviews tonight for the 1st time. Have read a bunch of them and really appreciate all of the info you share. I’m far from a great golfer. Didn’t take up the game until I was in my late 30s. But, was a lefty collegiate pitcher & QB…so I have some semblance of coordination. Am looking at either an M4 9.5 or PXG 0811 9 driver. A few shaft options…the Evenflow Blue 6.0 65G, Tensei CK Orange 60 (not the Tour version), Fujikura Speeder 661 Evolution, or Fujikura Pro 73. My swing speed now that I’m 56 is down to 102 or so. Have played Speeders in the TaylorMade TP drivers & my 3 wood for years. I really like the feel (but am obviously uneducated). My swing is way too long and aggressive, but have learned to dial it back.
Was a Naval Officer & am a DMV, so I can take advantage of the PXG military discount. Am a bit embarrassed to say that I really don’t have the $ to get professionally-fit at this point in time.
Am wondering if you have any opinion or preference regarding the M4 (or M5) vs. the PXG 0811. Also, if you have any advice at all – comparing/contrasting- the aforementioned shafts.
If it’s any help, I do prefer a heavier-feeling shaft and a low-to-mid, penetrating ball flight. I have no trouble hitting a slight fade, but the draw which I was able to hit on a fairly-consistent basis during my 1st 10 years or so of playing, has gone the way of the Dodo. Maybe the evolution of the golf ball has had something to do with it…and/or just getting old…
Any input would be be greatly appreciated. Now that I’ve found your reviews, will definitely be a regular reader.
Thanks again,
Ken
Ken,
I’m glad that you’ve found your way to Plugged In Golf.
If you read the comments, one thing you will find is that I don’t recommend equipment, I always recommend getting fit. I appreciate that getting fit costs money, but in the long run it’s FAR cheaper than buying things that may or may not work and then having to buy more. Additionally, there’s just no credible way for me to make a recommendation without having you in front of me on a launch monitor. I will always give people the correct, honest (albeit frustrating) answer over the simple, incorrect one that they may think they want.
Good luck in your search, whichever route you take.
Best,
Matt
Hey Matt,
Did you try the non-handcrafted version of the Evenflow Black? If so how much difference was there. I know that Ping and a few other Drivers are coming out with them as stock or upgrade shafts.
Thanks,
jon
Jon,
I have hit the non-Handcrafted in a couple different drivers as a stock option, but I never went head to head with the Handcrafted, so I’m hesitant to make definitive comparisons. Generally, I think what we wrote here is pretty sound advice: https://pluggedingolf.com/are-aftermarket-shafts-better-than-stock-shafts-golf-myths-unplugged/
Best,
Matt
Matt, I have read your reviews on the PX evenflow blue and the MRC tensei blue. How would you compare the two in terms of smoothness, trajectory and kickpoint ?
David,
In my opinion, the EvenFlow Blue is more active, the Tensei Blue is more of smooth release.
Best,
Matt
I’m curious about your answer regarding the Aldila Tour Blue and Green and their not being in the same category as the Even Flows. Could you please explain what you meant by that?
Being on the other side of the apex (over 50), I’ve been finding the Tour Green a little too harsh and harder to hit lately, and am looking at something with a little more feel. I remember trying out the Tour Blue before and am curious about you opinions on the similarities/differences between that and the Even Flow Blue. Much appreciated.
Gary,
That comment was in regard to feel. The Aldila Tour shafts are stout and can be a little harsh. The EvenFlow shafts are very smooth and active.
-Matt
HI Matt:
How do these compare to the HZRDOUS Smoke? What EF fit would be closest to a HZRDOUS Smoke 6.0, 60g?

My son is upgrading to F9 driver he has hit it with both evenflow blue and atmos blue in regular. Launch monitors don’t really give bid differences he likes both swings at 80-85 now so will one regular shaft allow him to grow better with it over next year or 2. Any advice would be great
Brian,
There’s no way to know what feel he’s going to prefer as he grows or how his swing is going to change. I’d just opt for whatever he likes better/hits better now because trying to buy for the future is a guess at best.

Do you know if the project x evenflow green 55 6.0 59g shaft still available or had it been replaced by the project x evenflow blue 55 6.0 59g shaft ? Are they the same performance wise . Tried my Mavrik driver today with a demo evenflow green shaft and it performed exceptionally well. Thanks
Campbell,
To the best of my knowledge, the EvenFlow Green was purely a made for stock shaft for Callaway.

Have you any experience with the EvenFlow blue 55g 5.0 breaking. I was fitted for one but I’ve been reading of an issue of breaking at the kick point. Is there any truth to this issue? Is the staff of high enough quality to trust it to an expensive driver head?
John,
I have not heard of this as a major problem. In my experience, any shaft from a major OEM is going to be of good quality and breakage is the exception, not the rule.

Hi, I’ve had a Cobra Bio Cell plus Driver for yrs with a regular shaft Matrix red tie 6Q3 shaft that worked beautifully for me my swing speed is 95- 96 mph. I just bought a Cobra F9 with a Atmos Tour Spec Regular shaft, wow way to soft for me I just hook the ball as soon as I put a bit of strength on it. I tried the stiff version of the Atmos which was better but still have the pullhook easily when I put a bit of extra strength on it. Do you think the Evenflow Blue 65 gm 5.5 would be a good match or something else tks. Paul
Paul,
Unfortunately without seeing you in person there’s no way to know how much of the problem can be blamed on the head vs the shaft or what shaft might be better. Were you fit for the new driver? If so, I’d suggest going back to the fitter and seeing if they can help you out.

tks for your reply Matt
Hi Matt,
I’m currently gaming the Speeder Evo II 661 X flex with Epic SZ head. When I hit the speeder well it’s an absolute monster but when I’m off it can be disastrous. I would like a shaft with a little more kick and softer tip but still stable. I’ve also tried the smoke black stiff flex 70g and did fairly well but would lose it to the right when I went after it. I’m typically a smooth swinger but can easily transition to an aggressive swing if not careful. Not sure if you are familiar with the Rogue White 130 MSI. Just based off my needs as described, would you recommend the Rogue, Evenflow blue, or black? Thanks in advance.
Mat,
I have a review of the Rogue White here: https://pluggedingolf.com/aldila-rogue-white-130-msi-shaft-review/
I would strongly recommend a fitting before spending the money on any of those shafts.

Hey Matt,
I play hzrdus smoke yellow 6.5 in my woods and nippon modus 120x in my irons.
Would the even flow black 6.5 85g make sense in my driving iron? Is it a good middle ground between the two?
Ultimately I will get fit, but just looking for some early advice.
Thanks in advance!
Mathew,
I’m not seeing the connection between the Smoke Yellow and Modus and the EvenFlow Black. It certainly might work, but it wouldn’t be my default choice.

Hey Matt,
Would you say the Black is about half a flex stronger than the Blue?
Or possibly 6.0 Black is equivalent to a 6.5 Blue?
Thanks!
Dillon,
In terms of feel (which is subjective), half a flex sounds about right to me.

Hi Matt.,
I have the evenflow 6.0 75g in a g410lst head. Absolutely love the feel of the shaft but my tendency with this shaft is to fight the left side of the course. Generally speaking, could moving into an X flex help straighten the ball flight? I don’t know for sure what my swing speed is, but not uncommon to hit a 300+ yard drive. Thanks.
Mat,
Based on our testing – https://pluggedingolf.com/shaft-flex-matter-golf-myths-unplugged/ – I don’t think a stiffer shaft is any guarantee of fewer hooks.
Best,
Matt
The even flow blue made in San Diego at one time they seem to be the real deal,the even flow blue hand crafted made in San Diego prototype I think the prototype has flaws in it some people say this shaft has breakage near the tip what’s your take on this
Bob,
I have not encountered any breakage issues personally, nor have I had anyone report those issues to me.
Best,
Matt
I had no problem with the shaft,thanks MATT
I recently bought even flow black,they have that design with the swirl on the shaft,but on the bottom around 5 or so inches the swirl seems to stick out more at the bottom it’s not smooth like the top,is this Normal the shaft is regular and the trajectory is low
I am 67 using a evenflow project x shaft hitting 200-210 pretty straight. Is this the best shaft for me?
Peter,
There’s no way for me to make an educated guess at that. My advice is always to find a quality fitter and work with them if you want to get your driver optimized.
Best,
Matt
