nobmontana Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) Just found out a new Fuji Jewel Line shaft coming out later this month. (Oh yeah... March is Japan Golf Fair month!!! ). I currently use the Diamond Speeder shaft in my driver and 3 wood. Love them so much but getting harder to find them in the right specs. As some of you may know, Diamond Speeder combined 90T carbon, MR70 and T1100G material from various manufacturers to produce one of the lowest torque shafts. The distance performance on these shafts are just wonderfully explosive. Now the Daytona Speeder goes even further with exotic material. the same 90T Carbon, MR70, T1100G but now a new material from Toray called M40X at the tip for improved feel at impact. Using all of these premium exotic material sometimes create conflict with how they perform. In order to ensure the materials actually work in harmony, they added Boron to complete the package. Very tempted to try this shaft when it comes out! Edited March 1, 2019 by nobmontana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
604_skyline Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) I came across this the other day on one of the ameblo blogs; while it is about 10grams lighter than my preferred weight (I like something in the mid 70's) Add me to the list as well for wanting to give it a go. I know mitsubishi seems to be the tops for most on the PGA, but I always keep gravitating back to Fujikura for some reason (the new ventus is supposed to be very nice as well, just a little too stiff in the tip for me I think) Edited March 1, 2019 by 604_skyline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobmontana Posted March 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 I've always been a Mitsubishi fan up until I got to try the Diamond Speeder. I mean I still like the Diamana stuff but the use of MR70 material which is actually produced by Mitsubishi Chemical ( their competitor ) really caught my attention. I like Fujikura's unbiased approach to just use the best materials out there regardless of who actually produces them. As far as weight class goes, I am opposite to you. I've gone down to 50g X flex to make up for my aging swing! ? So this new Daytona is a bit heavier than what I am currently using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
604_skyline Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 I think the MR70 was developed for the Tensei line, although I maybe incorrect? it might go back to the Diamana BF (4th gen blue profile diamana) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbs Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 I use 50 grams S flex diamond speeder and i put in Daytona speeder into play today and i gotta say its an easier version to load compared to my diamond. better ball flight compared to low torque diamond but i do have a problem launching my ball so this is actually a better fit for me. slightly softer feel and gotta say the feel is better than the Diamond speeder. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-500 Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 What lengths are you guys please playing these lighter shafts at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbs Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 i play at 45" length D3 SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobmontana Posted June 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Ian, I'm using my Diamond Speeder 5X in a Grandista RS-D at 45" / D4 and then Mizuno GX now has the ATMOS Tourspec Black 5TX also at 45" / D4 50g series in X flex seems to be a perfect stiffness for me. 50g series used to feel too light and too unstable before but more recent models are actually as tight as heavier shafts and you can get faster club head speed for sure. Having said that, since you are using TR 757X, not sure if you would be able to find a 50g shaft that would be stiff enough for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-500 Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Maybe a Diamana DF50x? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
