Popular Post Golfspy_CG2 29,944 Posted February 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2020 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 PLEASE DO NOT QUOTE THIS POST IN YOUR REPLY.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. Testing is for US Residents per the OEM's request. First Name/State Current Driver Shaft Current Driver Swing Speed 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.

golfinnut 1,222 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 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.

revkev 24,613 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Kevin/FloridaAlta Distanza92Maintain 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.

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.

jddaigneault 1,819 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Jordan, CA 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.

CJNAK 3 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) Chris/Oklahoma Project X HZRDUS Yellow 110mph club head speed 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.
