aberdeenlad Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hello what would be the best option to replace my AF101 which has the matrix F6M2 fitted? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffer19 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) I would have to say down the road yes they will sell the shafts, but now word on that yet. Hi T: Is it true that the JDM stock Motore a TM only shaft? Fuji site only lists the F1 and Speeder. Is this stock Motore same as USDM stock except lighter and also 0.35 tip? The reason for all these questions is to find out how to compare flex stiffness on different models. I know I would be able to play the Kai'li 60 in R (or the USDM stock R) which they do not offer but would that be comparable to the stock Motore SR in term of flex (not necessary in shaft profile) ? ps: I am referring to the R9 max and not the regular R9.

phonzy Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Looking to getting the R9 max - Not sure the difference between the regular flex and the stiff/reg flex what swing speed do you need to have for the stiff/reg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R, the Motore is the "stock" shaft for the R9 (not necessarily for TM only as Motore is a Fuji "name"). As to how the JDM one actually feels and performs we'll have to wait and see when we get some demos. The JDM one is lighter as you noticed and the JDM R9 also plays 0.5" longer. So in other words what you're asking is, is the stock JDM Motore going to play softer? My guess with the longer length and lighter weight is yes probably a tad softer. Also the US models do not offer a Stiff/Regular which spreads the flex out for　JDM one. My guess for the JDM stock Motore　is as follows (phonzy this is for you too) Please keep in mind that this is a general estimation. Swing speeds and flex are always a guess and one must take into consideration tempo and transition as well which is why there is some overlap. Regular 80-90 Stiff/Regular 85-95 Stiff 95-105 X-Stiff 105 and up Stiff The aftermarket shafts will play true to flex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffer19 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 The aftermarket shafts will play true to flex. Thanks T, I pretty much know how an after market would play but have not play a JDM stock shaft for the longest time. It is my impression that a stock would play 1/2 a flex to a full flex softer than after market depending on torque and bend point. Unfortunately R9 is not something one can change/swap shaft easily as with other clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gocchin Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 That's good to know. It would open a whole door of shaft options then. I think I'll get an R9 Max for myself since I have a ton of shafts sitting here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aberdeenlad Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 does that mean i can have any shaft ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indharbor Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Is R9 Japan (not the Max) available for an oder from TSG? I know R9 Max release date has been delayed to end of April and I am interested in R9 if same shaft upgrade is available. Per Taylormade Japan website, R9 has same shaft options as R9 Max. If so, what would be price? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Just an update that the R9 Max launches this weekend earlier than expected! And yes we do carry the standard R9 420cc with JDM shaft upgrades if people are interested. Just drop me an email or PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
