On Friday, Nov. 6, users gathered to compare the new Project X Titan Black shaft against the popular Ventus line. One user, @Darth_Fader, started the conversation by asking for real data on which Ventus matches the Titan Black profile. Compared to the GEN4 HZRDUS Black, the butt end softens with the new shaft, he observed. The community jumped in with specific comparisons based on their own testing.
The Handle Stiffness Debate
The Titan Black has a distinct feel that sets it apart from other driver shafts on the market. It loses stiffness quickly in the handle section, which changes how the club loads during the swing. User @Pnwpingi210 pointed out this unique trait while suggesting the best alternatives. He stated, “It’s very unique since it loses stiffness quickly in the handle. Diamana PD, 1k Orange, 1k White would be the most similar to me.”
Not everyone agrees on the exact feel, but the consensus leans heavily toward one specific model. While the Diamana PD and 1k Orange are solid options, the Ventus 1k White keeps coming up as the top choice. GolfWRX members know that a stiff handle can help control the face, while a softer one adds launch.
Why The 1k White Wins
Many users feel the Ventus 1k White is the closest match, even if it plays slightly softer. User @phizzy30 weighed in on the thread to explain why this shaft stands out. He wrote, “Yeah, 1k White for sure although it feels a touch softer flex for flex, IMO. Same EI profile though. Wouldn’t you say Trono similar as well? I think it is.” The mention of the EI profile is crucial because it tracks how the shaft bends at every point along its length.
Another member, @A.Princey, added that the Titan Black has an overly stiff mid-section that is rare in modern shafts. Regarding the PX Hulk TX and LAGP Trono shafts, he said the new Project X design aligns more closely with them. The thread also mentioned the OG Graf Blue as a similar profile.
