Length: HZRDUS Smoke Green 60 vs HZRDUS Smoke Green 70
One of the first similarities between the 60 and 70 is the length. Both the 60 and 70 are 46 inches long. There are no other length options for either of these shafts. 46 inches is the longest a golf shaft can be before it is considered an illegal length. What this also means is that both of these golf shafts are quite long.
Generally speaking, the shorter the golf shaft, the more forgiving it is. So if you are somewhat of a beginner or are used to shorter golf shafts than the 60 and 70 are likely not for you.
However, if you are used to longer golf shafts then either of these shafts can work for you.

The next similarity between the 60 and 70 is the launch. The launch angle in a golf shaft is essentially the angle at which the golf ball is hit on impact. The higher the launch angle, the more height the ball will get, the lower the launch angle, the more distance the ball will get.
In this case, the 60 and 70 both have low launch angles which means that they are better designed for getting distance on the ball. If getting distance is something you were looking to improve on, then both the 60 and 70 will be good for you.
Spin: HZRDUS Smoke Green 60 vs HZRDUS Smoke Green 70
Similar to the launch angle, both golf shafts are good for keeping a low amount of backspin on the ball. A low amount of backspin means that the ball will not get as much height. So, both of these golf shafts will keep your ball very low in the air.
Flex: HZRDUS Smoke Green 60 vs HZRDUS Smoke Green 70
Another similarity that the 60 and 70 have is their flex options. Both the 60 and 70 have the same exact flex options. Each one offers Stiff, extra stiff, and extra stiff plus options.
For those that don’t know these stiffer options are better for players with higher swing speeds. In other words, the more stiffness a shaft has, the more swing speed is required. The more flex a shaft has, the less swing speed is required.
Weight: HZRDUS Smoke Green 60 vs HZRDUS Smoke Green 70
The only difference between the 60 and 70 is the weight options. The 60 has 61, 62, and 65 gram options. The 70 has 70, 72, and 74 gram options. So, the 70 is heavier than the 60. There are pros and cons to heavier and lighter golf shafts.
Lighter golf shafts are easier to swing fast, but a bit harder to control. In other words, 60 gram shafts can swing faster and can get more distance but are harder to keep accurate.
The 70 is harder to swing as quickly but is a bit easier to control. So you’ll likely get less distance with the 70 but hit more accurate shots.
USGA Legal: HZRDUS Smoke Green 60 vs HZRDUS Smoke Green 70
Believe it or not, the USGA has strict rules on what is allowed to be used in the game of golf. In other words, they have very strict equipment rules. These rules must be followed, otherwise the piece of equipment will be deemed illegal.
According to the USGA, both the HZRDUS Smoke Green 60 and HZRDUS SMoke 70 are considered legal to use in any casual, high-level amateur, and professional golf outings.
