HZRDUS Smoke 6.0

110+

Less spin. Have a steep swing and hit down on the ball currently. Working on that which will help to reduce spin and add distance.

Yes I have access to a sim.

Look forward to possibly testing!

Eastvale, California 

Fujikura Atmos 5 Stiff shaft 65 Gram

104 mph driver speed

Tighter dispersion and a better feel overall. Lower Spin and increase distance is secondary but not main goal  

I own a launch monitor and use it everyday!

Derrick / Washington State

Fujikura Ventus Red 5 (Taylor Made made for shaft)

98-103

I am a high handicapper, so I would like to improve everything :). More specifically, I would like to improve dispersion, while keeping spin and trajectory up. I need as much spin and trajectory help that I can get from a shaft. My miss is low hook. I have also been disappointed in the past with fittings, and haven't founder a fitter in-person who is super knowledgeable about the details of shafts. I have been told things like "if the shaft is the same flex and weight, they are essentially the same".

Yes, I have access to a launch monitor.

I do

Gil/Texas

FUJIKURA SPEEDER TR 757 X-FLEX 77G

AVG. 115-117 MPH

I love the shaft I have now to be honest but less spin is always a great start. Dispersion would be second for me followed by distance. I do not mind sacrificing distance for accuracy. 

I own a Foresight Sports GC2 + HMT setup with an indoor bay in my garage! I can get all the numbers you want from this device. It is used daily. 

[Bghanson7p 3]

Brandon/Oregon

UST/Mamiya Coool 6X

107-110 mph

I would like to reduce spin and help with dispersion, I have struggled the past three years with consistency.

I do have access to a launch monitor, if needed, either Trackman or Foresight.

Chase - Texas

Project X Even Flow White 6.5

110 MPH swing speed

I would like to produce a bit more carry distance and be able to hit a “go-to” squeeze fade off the tee with a little more ease.. current shaft doesn’t seem to ever want to fade enough.

I have full access to TrackMan

Awesome to see this to start the testing year. I just got the Ventus that I had been fitted for so don't want to mess with that, but will be following this one closely. IMO shafts will be where equipment advances over the next few years more than anything else. Good luck to the testers!

[Samgolf 0]

Sam/ Minnesota 

Mitsubishi Diamana S

110mph swing speed

I would like to see my swing speed increase past 115mph but also help my dispersion.

I will have access to a launch monitor because I am in an indoor league.

I actually am hitting my driver really well right now, but my flight is a bit too high.  I'd like to lower the height of my driver.

My teacher has one that he would allow me to use during a lesson.

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. Good Luck!

Ping G410 Plus/Stock Regular Shaft

Believe the shaft is the real motor in producing greater club head speed and distance. Looking for MORE distance.

I have access to a FlightScope launch monitor.
