Project X HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX
The HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX is a market-leading choice for left-handed driver builds that demand extreme stability and low spin; its stiffer, torque-controlled profile suits faster swing speeds and aggressive players. Compared with the Ventus Blue and Tensei AV Raw Orange it trades a bit of feel for tighter dispersion and higher launch control, and though typically positioned at a premium price point it delivers pro-level consistency that justifies the cost for builders focused on accuracy.

KBS TD 50 LH Driver Shaft
The KBS TD 50 LH Driver Shaft is a unique counterbalanced option that brings KBS's tour-proven stiffness and controlled trajectory into left-handed graphite driver builds, effectively mimicking a heavier, compact profile favored by players seeking more feel and lower spin. Compared to the graphite-centric Rogue Silver or Fujikura Vista Pro, the TD 50 delivers a more traditional, performance-oriented launch and can be the most cost-effective route to increased swingweight without adding head mass. Its technical advantage lies in a denser construction and predictable bending characteristics that simplify fitting when integrating counterweights for left-handed club parts.
