AGurney Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 How is the Fujikura 660 different from other Fujikura shafts? What other shafts have the same characteristics? I have a 660 that I like and would like to duplicate the feel in another driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAQ Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 How is the Fujikura 660 different from other Fujikura shafts? What other shafts have the same characteristics? I have a 660 that I like and would like to duplicate the feel in another driver. Why would Fujikura make two shafts alike? They go for different characteristics in each of their shafts. If you like the 660 get the same shaft and put it in another driver. IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowpro Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 if you can't get the 660 -- which should be a easy task with all the dealers here.. but if not the 652 is close in spec's and has that same fuji feel you like.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 652 is much more like the 661 which is not anything like the 660. The 652 was designed to replace the 661 in the U.S. and uses the updated Triax process, not the regular Triax. Just an FYI. Here's the 652 Specs and here is the 660TR Specs. The 660 is much more of a stouter shaft and plays much firmer than the 652 or the 661. Speeder - 652 TriaxEngine updated -46 in. 65 grams 3.8 torque mid kick Speeder - 660 Triax - 46 in. 72 grams 3.4 torque high kick The tip is much firmer in the 660 and results in a much lower ball flight combined with the kick point.

xxio Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 What is "updated triax"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAQ Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 What is "updated triax"? It's the Boron tip reinforcement. Fujikura had to change because of (what I heard) contract problems with the original company that had the tech for the older Triax which is supposed to be better.

BostonHack Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 As always FAQ is right on the money. There is no way the 652 is similar to the 660. While Fujis, the feel is different and the performance should reflect that. The 660 is much much better in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
