Although I agree the Ventus and DI don’t have a lot of overlap, I found the red to be a great alternative to the DI. I agree that the handle is stiffer but the mid/low section I still get enough “kick” out of, and a nice mid flight. Have long been a Ventus blue user but wanted something a bit stiffer handle feel and it was a great match.
This is what I landed on in my 3 wood - Ventus OG red 7 tipped 1”. Absolute cannon and love it. I am even debating going backwards and putting a red 6 tipped .5” and giving it a shot (in driver) cause why not!
If you got a chance to try them with TM I am sure they won’t steer you wrong.. but I am a big fan of the red Ventus.
