Project X EvenFlow Riptide 40 adapts the EvenFlow family’s smooth-release counterbalanced profile into a lightweight 40g option that prioritizes tempo, forgiveness, and consistent feel through the swing. Compared with featherlight models like the Helium and the more tip-soft Eldio, the Riptide 40 provides a steadier mid-launch and a livelier kick that suits players who want a balance of stability and playability at a competitive market price.

Fujikura Vista Pro 45 Ladies
Fujikura's Vista Pro 45 Ladies earns its best-in-class reputation by pairing a multi-material graphite layup with a torsionally stiff tip section to deliver tight dispersion and a stable feel tailored for women seeking control without sacrificing launch. Compared with lighter options on this list (like the UST Mamiya Helium 4 Ladies and Mitsubishi Eldio 40 Ladies), the Vista Pro trades a few grams for improved shot-to-shot consistency, and while it is typically priced at a premium, that cost reflects the higher-grade materials and tighter manufacturing tolerances.

The Project X EvenFlow Riptide Ladies is positioned as a tempo-matched shaft that emphasizes a smooth, counterbalanced load and consistent release—traits that help moderate-tempo women players square the clubface more reliably. Compared with the list’s ultra-light UST option and the premium Fujikura model, EvenFlow Riptide typically delivers a balanced feel and mid-tier pricing that blends playability with stable energy transfer for repeatable tempo control.

Project X EvenFlow Riptide 40
Project X EvenFlow Riptide 40 stands out for its smooth energy transfer and remarkably even oscillation that produces a forgiving high launch with controlled low torque for many female swing speeds. Compared to the very light Helium and the ultra-stable Eldio, the Riptide balances feel and launch — offering a softer, smoother sensation through the swing that can translate into better tempo for moderate-speed players, and is often a smart mid-priced option for players wanting consistency without the premium upcharge.

The Ventus Blue stands out for industry-leading stability and low dispersion thanks to VeloCore technology, making it the top pick when precision tuning with modular adjustable weight systems is the priority for women golfers. While its price sits alongside other premium shafts like the Tensei, Ventus delivers superior lateral control compared with lighter options, offering measurable technical value for players who want tighter shot groups after adding or shifting modular weights.
