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).

      Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

      You can try it with some lead tape first to see if it works for you.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
