Fujikura Ventus Blue 6S
The Ventus Blue 6S is the market-leading choice for graphite wood shafts in left-handed club parts thanks to Fujikura's VeloCore technology that delivers exceptional stability and low spin for confident dispersion control. It stands out against the field with a premium, tour-proven feel and a wider left-hand inventory, making it a slightly higher-cost but technically superior option compared with value-oriented shafts like the HZRDUS or ultra-light Helium.

Project X HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX 60
The HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX 60 earns a best-in-class position for players who want a brutally stable, low-torque shaft for left-handed wood builds, using RDX resin tech to hold face angle through aggressive swings. It typically undercuts premium-priced competitors like the Ventus while delivering comparable stability, so it represents strong technical performance for the price, though it trades a bit of feel and mid-launch versatility found in the Tensei AV Blue.

Review Summary
"Golfers consistently cite the HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX 60 for extreme stability and low spin that tightens dispersion, especially with aggressive swings. Critics say the harsh feel and limited forgiveness make it less suitable for moderate or slower swingers."

Mitsubishi Tensei AV Blue 65
The Tensei AV Blue 65 is prized for its blended profile that balances smooth feel with dependable mid-to-high launch characteristics, making it a versatile choice for left-handed club parts that need both workability and stability. Positioned between the stiffer Ventus and softer Helium lines, Tensei AV Blue offers competitive pricing and a technical compromise: more playability than the HZRDUS but greater steadiness than ultra-light options.

UST Mamiya Helium 5F3
The Helium 5F3 is the standout lightweight option for left-handed wood shafts, engineered for higher launch and easier clubhead speed without forcing compensatory swing changes. Its primary advantage versus the other models is reduced weight for players with slower tempos or those building lighter left-handed assemblies; it sacrifices a bit of the torsional rigidity of heavier, premium shafts but delivers strong value and ease-of-use for its intended fit.

Review Summary
"Owners applauded the Helium 5F3's ultra-light construction for noticeably faster clubhead speed and easier tempo, making it great for slower swingers and those seeking more distance. However, long-term users note reduced stability on off-center hits and a different feel compared with heavier shafts."
