Didn't catch the driver shaft...it's blue,,,could be a blue LA Golf shaft ? Blue up to the grip no graphics !! What is it ??

He has used the OG Diamana Kai'li (same as the shaft in his Qi10 7 wood) for ages, I guessing thats it but in 60ish grams.

But weren't those Ion chrome on one side and a darkish blue on the other ?? With graphics on the blue side towards the grip. But you're saying the OG Kaili was all blue ?? It's a great shaft, I have a 60 in practice 3 wood.

Saw Richard up close at Oakmont earlier today, it was the Ventus Blue+ in the driver.

Was coming on here still expecting to see an M2 as at least a backup driver if not gamer!

I believe you are right, forgot about the graphics near the grip and the chrome. Yes, a great shaft.

I might have thought Ventus+ at first, but if you look at his bag and the driver, the driver shaft doesn't show the <VeloCore> logo by the tip end,,,so I dismissed it as likely not a Ventus

But the color of blue certainly the new Ventus+

Ok guys, I have to do this, but let's vote.  Is Richard Bland's bag bland?  Yay or nay?  I say nay.

The graphics were aligned with the "1" setting on the Titleist sleeve, but Richard has it flipped around to the "3" setting which effectively puts the logo "up" and out of view:

Fantastic...no further doubt...well done 🏆

Lagolf graphite iron and wedge shafts very interesting. Sergio plays/played these at some point. The TX flex L series seems to fit tour swings.
