Project X Hzrdus Smoke Black Rdx

[TL308]

When I got fitted for my TSi2 fairway wood the shaft I ended up in was a Project X HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX with HEXCEL HEXTOW near the tip section.  Is this HEXCEL tech similar to the Fujikura VeloCore?

I believe it is the type of carbon fiber filament that is used in making the shaft.

Hexcel’s HexTow® carbon fiber is the preferred carbon fiber for the world’s most advanced aerospace and industrial applications.

Velocore appears to be more of a manufacturing process versus the fiber itself.

VeloCore technology, found in the Ventus line of shafts, is a multi-material bias core construction technique that delivers ultimate stability through transition and impact.

@boogielicious,How on Earth did you beat me to the answer? 
I believe Mr Boogielicious is exactly correct. 

One is a material, the other is a process. 

Just my opinion, Both are really good shafts. Of course opinions are like @ssholes everyone has one.... And everyone else's stinks.

It is a great (very stable) shaft but I don't think the profile is right for me.  I think I should have gone with the RDX Blue profile based on my swing characteristics but that is ok.

It's 95% marketing. Just highlighting the small amount of more expensive materials used or new layering methods. Need to justify charging $300 for a shaft.

I have the RDX Blue in a 2 wood which I love, but honestly its very similar to the Black RDX or the Smoke, both of which I also liked.

You might try a little lead tape on the head to change the feel of the shaft if you aren't loving it right now. I find that often will yield a more decisive change than just switching profiles.

Got to the course today and took the TSI2 18 degree out for a spin with the RDX black.  it is a phenomenal club and the shaft performed quite well.  It is a little left bias but I am ok with that.  I am at a crossroads because I am not a heavy loader and my tempo is not quick but the shaft still seems to perform for me.   I think I will see how it does with a tour spec Atmos blue to see if there is any big difference.

I just got the Rdx black in a tour edge hybrid and like the way it feels and performs.

Its a great shaft.   To be honest, its my first Hzrdus shaft.  It is VERY stable.  I was maybe a little surprised to see I could potentially play it.
