There are many great golf shafts in the market. The Project X HZRDUS Smoke Yellow and the Project X HZRDUS Smoke Blue shafts are some of the best, and it can be difficult to choose between them.
The HZRDUS Blue RDX golf shaft features advanced HexTow technology that provides additional stability to the shaft, but both the Blue RDX and the Smoke Yellow shafts are great options for aggressive swingers.
In this article, I’ll explain the differences between the HZRDUS Smoke Yellow and the Smoke Blue so you can make an informed decision about which one is better for you.
Feature Comparison: HZRDUS Smoke Yellow vs Blue RDX
The following table illustrates some important specifications for these shafts in the 6.0 flex:
| Feature | HZRDUS Smoke Yellow | HZRDUS Smoke Blue RDX |
| Torque | 3.5 | 3.4 |
| Weight | 64 grams (2.26 oz) | 64 grams (2.26 oz) |
| Length | 46 inches (116.84 cm) | 46 inches (116.84 cm) |
| Tip Diameter | .335 inches (0.85 cm) | .335 inches (0.85 cm) |
| Butt Diameter | .600 inches (1.5 cm) | .600 inches (1.5 cm) |
| Spin | Low | Low |
| Launch | Low | Low |
In terms of specifications, the HZRDUS Smoke Yellow and the HZRDUS Smoke Blue RDX are similar, with the only difference being that the Smoke Blue has slightly lower torque.
Both shafts are considered low-launch, low-spin, and moderate-tempo shafts with counterbalanced designs. Furthermore, these shafts both have soft midsections, but with stiffer butts and tip sections.
The primary difference is that the Smoke Blue RDX shaft utilizes HZRDUS’s HexTow technology, an aerospace-grade carbon fiber frequently used in aircraft. This aerospace material in the shaft creates a unique blend of stiffness and stability ideal for aggressive swingers.
Other than that, some key differences are the color and the price. To state the obvious, the HZRDUS Smoke Yellow shaft is yellow and the Blue RDX shaft is blue. Furthermore, because the Blue RDX features the advanced HexTow technology, it’s usually more expensive than the HZRDUS Smoke Yellow.
HZRDUS Smoke Yellow and Blue RDX: Which Is Better?
Ultimately, the Blue RDX is better than the HZRDUS Smoke Yellow. However, the shafts aren’t that different, so if you’re on a tighter budget or if you see the HZRDUS Smoke Yellow Shaft at a good price, I wouldn’t hesitate to pick it up if you’re a more aggressive swinger who likes counterbalanced shafts.
The Smoke Blue RDX uses aerospace technology to achieve additional stability that the HZRDUS Smoke Yellow doesn’t have, which is beneficial for extremely aggressive swingers with high tempos. The soft midsection balances out the stiffer butt and tip sections, so you can swing to your heart’s content and still manage to get controlled energy transfer to the ball.
Extremely advanced golfers will probably be able to feel the difference between the Smoke Yellow and the Blue RDX, but I’d venture to guess that beginners and moderate golfers will probably achieve similar results with either shaft.
Therefore, I recommend choosing the shaft that’s compatible with your budget and aesthetic preference.
Conclusion
If you have a bigger budget for a new golf shaft, I recommend purchasing the HZRDUS Blue RDX shaft over the Smoke Yellow because it features advanced technology that provides additional stability. However, if you don’t want to spend as much on a golf shaft, the HZRDUS Smoke Yellow is still a great choice that will greatly improve your golf game.
