Design and Technology
Project X crafts the HZRDUS Smoke Yellow with their Small Batch program. The Small Batch program gives more attention to golf shafts that allow players to demand the highest levels of performance possible. HZRDUS Smoke Yellow is reinforced with specifically optimized materials to give it a stiffer profile and a higher balanced point. Raising the balance point of the golf shaft enables players, club fitters, and builders to use more mass at the club head and provide players a distinct advantage. HZRDUS Smoke Yellow is also stiffer in the mid-section to hold up at all speeds.
Our Experience
I gamed the original HZRDUS Yellow shaft and loved it, so I was excited to get ahold of the HZRDUS Smoke Yellow update. The HZRDUS Smoke Yellow is a well-balanced golf shaft that can fit a wide range of speeds. The counterbalance feature is excellent especially for golfers that want to prioritize accuracy without sacrificing swing speeds . HZRDUS Smoke Yellow also makes a great choice for drivers that come heavier as standard options such as the Ping models.
