Daytona Speeder Ls

[Sanna Pospicil]

Its part of the Fuji's jewel line. My brother has the Platinum speeder and loves it. He hits high bombs with low spin. He says it's also feels very smooth. The Daytona speeder has the same profile but with more exotic materials in it hence the reason for it's hefty price tag.

I had it in X, played it at 46" in a PXG X Gen 2. Great feel and hit some bombs with it. Got a little squirely as I felt it played soft to flex. That could be because of how smooth it was or that is does play soft to flex being a mostly Japanese market item. Didn't have the heart to cut it down to 45" or 44.5" or tip it so I moved it. Easily one of the best looking shafts though.

The new Fujikura Speeder NX uses Variable Torque Core technology to create consistent, predictable ball flight. Strong trajectory with mid/low spin. Explosive feel that will be somewhat familiar to Speeder fans.

Throughout the many variations of Speeder Evolution, there was a very consistent feel. I always described it as a whip crack, with the energy sizzling from the butt down to the tip. It was uniquely Speeder, and I loved it. But Speeder NX is a whole new beast.

In the Speeder NX, Fujikura has dialed down the torque in the tip and butt section. They have found that this increases dynamic loft for a higher trajectory and closes the face faster for increased ball speed.

In terms of ball flight, the Speeder NX launched nothing but boring, mid trajectory bombs. To be clear, though this shaft is predictable, I mean boring like penetrating, not dull. Quite the opposite, I was excited every time I watched another drive scream down range.

The new Fujikura Speeder NX is offered in weights ranging from 40 grams to 70 grams. At 40 grams, the flexes available are R2 (softer than regular), Regular, Stiff/Regular, and Stiff. At 50 grams, the offerings slide up one level to Regular, Stiff/Regular, Stiff, and X. Fujikura makes the Stiff/Regular, Stiff, and X at 60 grams, and those who want the 70 gram version can choose between Stiff and X.

I looking at the Fujikura speeder, 40-50g R, to generate more club head speed. In search is see a speeder red. However in reviews and listing they are Blue. Can you explain? I am parcel to Red, I have AP3 Blk.

Thanks

Great reviews, sorry to be late to this party. I had or attended a fitting last summer. Take away was, I hit this red no 50 A sr shaft the best. Quite a few balls and hit it consistently solid. After some consideration I have gotten a 3 Wood and ordered it for my TM 10.5 M6 Driver. So have been trying to read up on them and there has been very little on line. Can wait to hit my driver with it!
