The Fujikura Speeder line of golf shafts is one of great heritage, history, performance, and success. The Speeder Platinum was initially a Japanese-exclusive and just released to the US Market in 2017. Made from the industry’s highest quality T1100G 90-ton modulus graphite for lighter more stable performance, the Speeder Platinum shaft will feel like you have a bullwhip in your hands but maintains stability throughout the swing with its multi-axial weave construction. The overarching concept of this shaft is to create the world’s lightest, smoothest, easy to load, and stable shaft so that players can effortlessly generate speed and distance and work in unison with the shaft. Something to consider is that the ultra smooth feel of this shaft might make it feel like it’s “soft-to-flex.” So playing up a flex might not be out of the question.

What really sets this shaft apart from other shafts in the mid-launch mid spin classification, is its ultra smooth and light, yet, stable feel. Seen in the bags of PGA pros like Matt Kuchar and Brandt Snedeker to name a few!
