#Speeder 757 evolution driver#
In order to aid this I’ve thus decided to rather go for a 9.5 loft in my new driver instead of my current 8.5.Īfter going through all of the specs on the different Fujikura shafts I’ve decided to choose between either the Speeder Evolution 757, the Speeder Pro 76 TS, the Motore Speeder 757 or the Motore Speeder 7.3 TS. I will thus like to bring my spin rate down (although as I understand the Rombax 7Z08 is already one of the lowest spinning shafts around), whilst increasing my launch angle a bit – but not by too much as I tend to struggle in terms of getting my spin rate below 3000 and thus want to ensure that I don’t end up “ballooning” my shots. I hit some shots on Trackman last week and got a spin rate of around 3000 and a relatively low launch angle of between 6-7 degrees. I currently play with a Rombax 7Z08 X-flex in a Titleist 910 D3 8.5 head. I’m looking for the best fit in terms of the respective Fujikura shafts for my new Titleist 915 D3 driver (I know the best way of getting fitted is to actually hit the different shafts and decide based on the results by I’m from South Africa and unfortunately we don’t have the luxury of testing of the non-custom shafts in my province) and since you seem to have tested most of the Fujikura’s and play the 757 yourself I’d appreciate your opinion on which Fujikura shaft(s) will suit me best based on the following: Whatever your preference, be sure to be fit for your best Fujikura at one of their charter dealers like Club Champion.
The Tour Spec version is the 757 will be among the best of 2015 for those with aggressive swings and plenty of speed. For me, the standard Speeder Evolution 757 produced the consistent results that lead to good scores.įor the players who need more weight to keep their swing in check, the Speeder Evolution 757 provides that without sacrificing smooth, explosive feel. I really wanted to put everything into the shaft to make it “work,” and the result was a mix of shots that were brilliant and others that were mediocre. While my average numbers with both shafts were good, I have to admit that I don’t have the horsepower for the Tour Spec. That means the same swing speed was producing more ball speed because of the exceptional energy transfer through this shaft. While I was skeptical of Fujikura’s claims about this new line, the Trackman numbers don’t lie: I was regularly hitting shots with a smash factor above a “perfect” 1.5.
#Speeder 757 evolution upgrade#
The biggest performance upgrade was in terms of ball speed. They allowed me to maintain a high launch angle while reducing the spin to maximize distance. It’s not the eye-catcher that the blue is, but black always looks good and goes with everything.Īs you can see, just like last year’s Speeder 757, the Speeder Evolution 757 and Speeder Evolution 757 Tour Spec were a great fit for me. There is a Tour Spec version of the Speeder Evolution that has same graphics on a black base. There are lots of blue shafts, but this one absolutely pops. When I saw the first pictures, I thought, “Same graphics, new color, it looks Ok.” In person, the new color makes all the difference and it looks great. The look of the new Fujikura Speeder Evolution is done no justice by pictures. The standard 757 is just a hair stronger than the 661 and should be accessible to anyone with above average swing speed, particularly if they have a faster tempo. Softer swings with this shaft feel fine, but you won’t get the pop that fast swings produce. It still has that “whip crack” feel, but you do need to have some horsepower to really make it go.
As you move from the heavier weight versions towards the lighter weights, the whip becomes easier to crack.Īs the heavy weight of the Speeder Evolution family, the 757 Tour Spec is the shaft that will stand up to the most aggressive swings.
This year, the feel is much more consistent from one weight to the next, and there’s no longer a feeling of load and kick but rather a smooth transfer of energy from butt to tip. Last year, the shafts had a clear kick point, and that point moved closer to the tip as the shafts got lighter.
#Speeder 757 evolution series#
The feel of the Fujikura Speeder Evolution series is entirely different from that of last year’s Speeders. I wasn’t sure how Fujikura could improve on that shaft, but they did with the Speeder Evolution 757. I loved the feel, my numbers were great, and it went straight into my bag. If you’ve read my review of last year’s Speeder 757, you know there are few driver shafts I’ve ever loved more. Consistent feel and higher ball speeds make this a solid upgrade from last year’s Speeder 757. The Fujikura Speeder Evolution 757 and 757 Tour Spec will be among the most sought-after shafts for stronger players in 2015.
