#Riptide pro v2.6 driver#
Rather than get into the usual “technical description” of my performance experience, I’ll share it as more of an anecdote.Ĭoming into this review, I have been experiencing some significant driver woes. In addition to that, the shaft is also built, ideally, for a moderate swing tempo. Project X designed the EvenFlow Riptide to be a smooth shaft with medium launch and medium spin characteristics. Feedback from the ball as well as club awareness throughout the swing is nice and precise. Though the bend profile is gradual and doesn’t have a super distinct kick point, you can still feel the shaft load up and unload at impact. In terms of the basics like kick/energy transfer and feedback, the EvenFlow Riptide performs well. By adding the Torsional Stability Optimization to the Riptide, it retains the same signature even bend profile while reducing the warping and twisting, therefore transferring more energy into the ball at impact. This causes the graphite to warp, twist, and flex. Think of it this way, as you swing, you put a certain amount of torque on the shaft. They used what they call “Torsional Stability Optimization” which keeps the walls of the shaft from “deforming” while under stress during the swing. That’s a really tough task to not ruin a smooth, gradual-flex shaft profile with that approach.
#Riptide pro v2.6 series#
One of Project X’s goals was to take a shaft series that felt nice and smooth and make it feel more stable. The black/grey base layer sort of reminds you of open water at night under a bright moon, while the copper-outlined Riptide logo is filled with bubbles of sea foam.Īt this point, I will allow you to join me in pausing this review, and enjoying “Surfwax America” by Weezer here. (Especially with the blue used in the EvenFlow Blue.) The EvenFlow Riptide falls right in line with this theme.
The branding is reminiscent of ’70s era West Coast surf vibes and the graphics of water, waves, and the ocean. I’ve always appreciated the subtle flair of the Project X EvenFlow shaft graphics. This shaft is designed for a moderate swing tempo and a medium launch with medium spin. The next-generation Project X EvenFlow Riptide shaft aims to deliver the same “even bend” profile but with improved stability that doesn’t sacrifice EvenFlow’s signature smooth feel. In fact, various EvenFlow shafts were regularly found in play amongst the Driving Range Heroes team, ranging from hybrids to drivers. Ruby Pearl Co options are available from the dropdown menu below.Project X won over quite a few fans with their original generation of EvenFlow shafts.
