Was looking at purchasing this driver because I've heard nothing but good reviews. However I heard that the Fuji-Fit On Red shaft that comes with it, the regular version plays like a stiff shaft. Does anyone have this club and particular shaft or anyone else for that matter know if this is the case. My driver swing speed is consistenly 94mph and I can get it as high as 98mph if I put some more umph on it. The person who was helping me with the speed measure said I should definitely go with a stiff shaft and if the HiBore regular shaft plays like a stiff then that would be golden.

i dont personally have particular knowledge on that shaft, however...

you can take it to a club maker and usually he'll tell you the stiffness of the shaft through a numerical representation. He can then tell you how that number compares to other regular or stiff shafts. He'll likely do this for no charge.

Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to do that since the website that I was going to purchase this club from is running a promotion for the PGA Championship and is giving out free shipping on their orders, so I was going to purchase a few things today!

they don't have stiff anymore it looks like, just the regular. so that leads me back to my original question of does the regular fuji-fit on red play like a stiff?

Do as I do... Go try out the clubs at a retail store like Golf Galaxy, Golf Smith, etc....then buy the club online for a cheaper price.

BTW...if you want a better return policy than Rockbottom...go to TGW.com. They have a very liberal exhange policy....where they will even pay for the return shipping costs!

To answer your question, no the Fit-On Red regular DOES NOT play like a stiff. But it will have a bit lower launch.

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

Thanks for the info. Decided on getting the Adams Insight BUL because the price was too good ($89).

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.

      Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
