Testers Announced - Fujikura Motore X Shaft

[Golfspy_CG2 19,476]

With the release of the USGA/R&A Distance Report this week, it seems the perfect time to offer a review of a shaft that is designed for....guess what...more club head speed.

The Fujikura Motore X shafts hit stores this week, and even debuted in the bag of at least one PGA Tour Pro at the Waste Management. You can read all the details of the new shaft on the home page in this first look piece by My Golf Spy's Chris Nickel, to see how Fujikura says they are able to "Multiply" a drivers swing speed.    Read it Here

Will it work for you? Well that's what we're going to ask five forum members--that reside in the United States--- to test for themselves and report back to the forum on the results The five testers will go through a phone fitting with a Fujikura fitter to determine the best model for them. They will then receive the shaft put it through paces on the range--Ideally with a launch monitor access--and on the course over several weeks, track and monitor the results versus their current gamer, then write and publish their full length review here on the forum.  Testers will be required to keep up an ongoing dialogue in the review thread while testing the shaft.

Once the testers are selected and most likely during the phone fitting, you will be asked what driver head you are using, and the shaft will be sent with the adapter for that head, you will be all set to put it on and go test!!

How to Apply to Enter

Read ALL the details below and enter your information in a post in this thread. PLEASE DO NOT QUOTE THIS POST IN YOUR REPLY.  JUST PROVIDE THE INFO REQUESTED.

What if anything would you like to improve in regards to your driver shaft..such as more or less spin, better dispersion, more distance..etc.

Do you have regular access to a Launch Monitor--Not required, but would be helpful in testing.

That's it, we'll be selecting the testers sometime late next week. Good Luck!

1.  Chris/VA

2.  Project X HZRDUS black stiff 

3.  Anywhere between 95 - 100 mph, depend on the day & how my back feels! 

4.  Better dispersion for sure.  And we all want more distance of course.  

5.  No but for this testing I would find a location that has one.  Only because I would like to see the difference in numbers from my current shaft, if any. 

 

Thanks for the opportunity.  This shaft intrigues me, especially the F3, being firmer around the handle & grip & how it would translate into more carry distance.  Plus I've never gamed a Fuji shaft except an old Speeder.

Curious to see the result of this one! Fujikura seems to be on a roll.

Maintain launch angle with less spin for more distance. Better ball speed would be a super plus.

I have a personal launch monitor and periodic access to a monitor at a cost. Additionally I have a tracking system so that I am able to accurately measure actual on course driving distances.

Thanks to Fijikura and MGS for the chance to apply for this test.

I’m basically maxed out right now according to true spec golf in Chicago. So it would be interesting to see if a new shaft gave me anything better in terms of dispersion or distance.

I have regular access to a launch monitor as long as it is before summer 2020 so the indoor places don’t close up for the summer.

Would like to bring spin down and have better dispersion. Ball Speed/Distance would be a plus but not necessary

Yes to LM Access (if PGATSS had a Norm-like character from Cheers, it would be me)

What if anything would you like to improve in regards to your driver shaft: Less spin, tighter dispersion, and cut one side of the course off.

Do you have regular access to a Launch Monitor-- Possibly. But not for sure.

spin control is solid but I’d like to feel a little more unload through the ball. Feels stable but almost too rigid.

More distance. Other than that it feels great. Just looking for something different. 

No. But could talk to someone at my course who has one. Or download one and use it for the test.

Currently have an Aldila Xtorsion Copper 70X shaft, and I’ve been looking for something new to decrease dispersion. I’m intrigued by some of the technology Fujikura has to strengthen the tip, as I have an aggressive load in my swing. Getting the advantage of length my swing speed  offers with a more consistent impact on the face would be amazing.

Swing speed is between 115 and 120. 

I have unrestricted access to a Foresight launch monitor.

Tighter dispersion and a better feel overall. Spin and distance is secondary

Would love to see spin come down as well as dispersion tighten. Would also love to comment on the phone fitting of a shaft compared to my current shaft off the rack and how much of an improvement that can be. 

I have access to the Garmin handheld launch monitor but unfortunately no trackman or quad.
