Project X EvenFlow White Vs Black Review
“Not every player will be able to take full advantage of ultra-stiff shafts.”
Fortunately, there are plenty of good shaft options for players with less-than-aggressive swing tempos. One great example of a good option for more deliberate-tempo players is the Project X EvenFlow series.
The Project X EvenFlow Black shaft came on the scene first and was an instant hit for players seeking a smooth feel while relenting a little bit in terms of stiffness. Then, the Project X EvenFlow White came out and was noticeably stiffer. So which shaft will be the right choice for your clubs? We tested both the Project X EvenFlow White and Project X EvenFlow Black shafts to help you figure it out.
Project X EvenFlow White Overview
“The Project X EvenFlow White comes in 65 and 75 weight classes.”
The Project X EvenFlow White 65 is available in 67 and 68 gram versions while the 75 series comes in 75 and 76 grams. The tip has been stiffened over that of the Project X EvenFlow Black shaft and offers a bit more control over short irons and wedges.
Overall, our testers liked the smooth, explosive feel of the Project X EvenFlow white shafts. The 75 series will obviously be better if you have a swing speed in the 90’s while the 65 series is good for players who swing 85+ mph.
Project X EvenFlow Black Overview
“The Project X EvenFlow Black shafts are also available in 65 and 75 weight classes.”
The Project X EvenFlow Black 65 has 65, 68 and 69 gram options. The Project X EvenFlow 75 comes in 75 or 79 grams. The Project X EvenFlow Black offers more kick than the Project X EvenFlow White but it still transfers swing energy very well.
Our testers noted that they could practically feel the club head hurl forward as a result of the extra bit of kick you get out of this shaft. They also said that the Project X EvenFlow Black felt “explosive” compared to the Project X EvenFlow White.
Key Differences
“The biggest difference in terms of feel is that the Project X EvenFlow White doesn’t really have a distinct kick point.”
At least, you can’t really feel one. And that stands in stark contrast to the Project X EvenFlow Black which certainly does have a kick point you can feel. They also look very different. If you aren’t a fan of mostly white shafts then the Project X EvenFlow White might be a bit of an eyesore while the Project X EvenFlow Black has a more understated aesthetic.
Who Should Buy Each?
“Slower swing speed players will certainly appreciate that extra bit of flex they get with the Project X EvenFlow Black.”
The Project X EvenFlow White was obviously made more to the specifications of the HZRDUS shafts; only with a smoother feel. So if you prefer a bit more stiffness and control, the Project X EvenFlow White would be the EvenFlow shaft best-suited to your tastes.
There is definitely more flex in the Project X EvenFlow Black but the stability is still phenomenal. The Project X EvenFlow Black would be a great fit for any player who needs help with keeping their driver and fairway wood shots straight.
Project X EvenFlow White First Impressions
“At first, we were a little turned off by the mostly-white coloring of the Project X EvenFlow White shaft.”
But we quickly got over that when we saw how stable and consistent this shaft is. Compared to the HZRDUS line, you do get a bit more give with the Project X EvenFlow White shaft; but they are similar in almost every other performance aspect. The tip of the Project X EvenFlow White is ultra-stiff which allows for more accuracy from your wedges and scoring irons.
