There is a Tour Spec version of the Speeder Evolution that has same graphics on a black base. There are lots of blue shafts, but this one absolutely pops. When I saw the first pictures, I thought, “Same graphics, new color, it looks Ok.” In person, the new color makes all the difference and it looks great. The look of the new Fujikura Speeder Evolution is done no justice by pictures. The standard 757 is just a hair stronger than the 661 and should be accessible to anyone with above average swing speed, particularly if they have a faster tempo. Softer swings with this shaft feel fine, but you won’t get the pop that fast swings produce. It still has that “whip crack” feel, but you do need to have some horsepower to really make it go. As you move from the heavier weight versions towards the lighter weights, the whip becomes easier to crack.Īs the heavy weight of the Speeder Evolution family, the 757 Tour Spec is the shaft that will stand up to the most aggressive swings. This year, the feel is much more consistent from one weight to the next, and there’s no longer a feeling of load and kick but rather a smooth transfer of energy from butt to tip. Last year, the shafts had a clear kick point, and that point moved closer to the tip as the shafts got lighter. The feel of the Fujikura Speeder Evolution series is entirely different from that of last year’s Speeders. I wasn’t sure how Fujikura could improve on that shaft, but they did with the Speeder Evolution 757. I loved the feel, my numbers were great, and it went straight into my bag. If you’ve read my review of last year’s Speeder 757, you know there are few driver shafts I’ve ever loved more.

Consistent feel and higher ball speeds make this a solid upgrade from last year’s Speeder 757. This entry was posted in 2015 Models, Driver Shafts, Fujikura, Russ Ryden - Fit2Score on Jby Russ.The Fujikura Speeder Evolution 757 and 757 Tour Spec will be among the most sought-after shafts for stronger players in 2015. Doing so is enhanced by how much your fitter understands the golf shafts he is using. Then to the degree possible, fine tune your launch with close variations of profile, weight and flex. The objective of the professional fitter is to find that combination of shaft profile, weight and stiffness that creates the tightest impact pattern, centered on the club face. The launch of a shaft is a function of how you load it. And, how the intersection of the two curves moves under load. You can see how much more the 661S bends than the 757X. In this illustration the softest of the Speeder Evolution Tour Spec, the 661S to the 757X are subjected to progressively heavier loads.

However it is not that easy to forecast how a shaft will launch in your hands.
