Hi everyone,

I demo'd a Taylormade SLDR 3HL today P/N N1125509 that had a Fujikura Speeder 77 Flex S shaft on it. I can not find out any information about this shaft. The Fujikura web site doesn't even have it listed as an option.

Anyone have an idea why I can't find out any information about this shaft? By the way, the store was Dick's Sporting Goods

Thanks

It is probably a Made for Taylormade golf shaft. You probably will not find it on their website.

Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking too

Can I assume then that it is not a junk shaft if it comes standard on the club?

Even expensive custom shafts might not be good. You never know. There is not standard for flex in golf shafts. Heck the tolerances can throw things out of sorts. You could demo an x-stiff, order the club that has X painted on it and it might be stiff flex or less.

Being it is Fujikura, they are known for quality. I would presume they are one of the better Made For golf shafts. I have no solid evidence to back up that statement.

Thanks, really the only reason I was wondering is because I have never had a 3 wood before, and certainly not a stiff shaft club. The tip is reported to be .350", so I guess if I needed to change to a R flex, it would be possible as that size is not real rare.

The place I went to did not measure swing speed, only ball speed. I averaged 132 over 10-15 hits with that club.

This club may be a Xmas gift from my kids, so I want to make sure it's the right combination for me

Here the info from the TM site \ SLDR FWs. Unfortunately, it doesn't give the launch profile of the shaft.

Also, the 3HL at 17* is what most club manufacturers call a 4W. The average golfer does much better with a 4W than a 3W.

I know that some graphite shafts come in .335" tip, while others are in .350" tip. But, I'm not sure which is most common. I would phone GolfWorks about this.

Focus, connect and follow through!

Thanks for the added input...I hit the club extremely well in the simulator with the stock 17* dialed in.

The club is adjustable +/- 1.5*

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
