Two of the Best Golf Shafts for Sale for Players with Fast Swing Speeds

If you’re a player with a strong, fast swing speed and an aggressive tempo to match it, you don’t want to play around with soft, whippy shafts that feel like they just can’t catch up with you.

They’re frustrating, inconsistent, and worst of all, those generous flex ratings and bend profiles tend to produce a lot of spin (and a high launch profiles) both of which can throw a serious wrench into your shot dispersion and placement.

The long and short of this is that not all golf shafts are ideal for all players. That’s why the same manufacturers that labor over flexible, accommodating, forgiving shafts also produce counterparts on the other end of the spectrum.

The shafts covered here, designed for players with fast swing speeds and serious tempos, are stiff, with low torque and high kick points, and mimic the old steel shafts of yore, while producing better consistency and overall performance.

For those of you in the market for the best golf shafts for sale for players with extremely fast swing speeds, these are two of the best of the best.

The Project X HZRDUS Smoke Green

This is not just one of the best golf shafts for sale for players with fast swing speeds at the current time - it is one of the best that has ever been developed, period.  

This is the stiffest Project X golf shaft in the whole HZRDUS lineup. It’s designed to keep up with the fastest, most aggressive swing speeds and tempos.  

It produces low launch and very low spin, instead relying on a player’s strength and form to send the ball - and it does. 

Reviewers have noted on more than one occasion that, try as they might, they could not outswing the HZRDUS Smoke Green. It kept up with the swing, stayed true through the transition, and the club head didn’t even need to catch up - it was there.

Golfers that reviewed the Project X HZRDUS Smoke Green also noted that it produced laser-straight, long, deep, penetrating drives. There’s been a nearly unanimously positive impression of this golf shaft’s performance.

What else could yield the reason that it’s been affectionately hailed as the “hulk.” Go ahead and swing one if you dare. This is one golf shaft for sale that will not tire before you do.

All in all, if you have a very fast swing speed, above 100 or even 110 MPH, and a jarringly aggressive tempo to back it, this is probably the single best golf shaft out there.

The Fujikura Ventus Black  

If we had to pick one other golf shaft for sale, of course, besides the Project X HZRDUS Smoke Green “hulk” for players with fast swing speeds and strong tempos, that honor would go to the Fujikura Ventus Black.  

Like the HZRDUS Smoke Green, the Ventus Black has garnered pretty much universal acclaim for its consistency, stability, and performance, specifically for players with very fast swing speeds.

Golfers were likewise eager to note that the Fujikura Ventus Black could also keep up with whatever they were swinging, even breaking swing speeds of 100 MPH, just as with the Project X shaft aforementioned. 

The Ventus Black, like that former entry, has a lot of things going for it that make it perfect for players with fast swing speeds.

Two of them are a very, very low launch profile and correspondingly low spin characteristics. Like the former energy, the Ventus Black produces long, low, straight, penetrating drives that carry and carry - if you have the speed to support it.

But there is one other thing that the Fujikura Ventus Black has up its proverbial sleeve, and it’s VeloCore Technology.

This aspect of Fujikura Ventus golf shafts is a multi-media bias core that consists of layers of extremely strong carbon fiber that results in a very stable shaft, one that resists ovaling and deformation, even when placed under a heavy, unforgiving load.

So if what you need is a golf shaft for sale that can keep up with your swing, but which also offers industry-leading stability and resistance to deformation that can cause shot errors, the Fujikura Ventus Black might be the best for you.

Why You Should Work with a Fitter and Never Buy Sight Unseen

At the end of the day, while both the Fujikura Ventus Black and Project X HZRDUS Smoke Green have proven themselves to be excellent golf shafts for sale for players with fast swing speeds and highly aggressive swing tempos, they’re far from the only two options out there.

There are plenty others where they came from, and each offers a little something different to each golfer. That’s why you should work with a professional golf club fitter before buying.

A fitter will take your measurements, observe your swing, and equally importantly, take into account the club heads you play with before making personalized recommendations for golf shafts for you.

It might be that a Ventus Black or a Smoke Green is ideal for you; and maybe not. A golf club fitter will eliminate those question marks, though.
