Fujikure red/gold flightspeed fit-on shafts

[proff49]

Maybe a dumb question but what is meant by the low-mid and mid-high flex point?

[hrossroth]

With this specific shaft Cleveland suggests that the red shaft, with the mid/high flex point, be used by players who have faster swing speeds (generally around 100mph+). For these players, the flex point helps to keep the ball from being launched too high. The gold shaft, for slower swings speeds, will help to get the ball in the air because of the low flex point.

Thanks for the info.

Not sure thats 100% true. I have a red shaft on my launcher 3 wood and golds on my driver and hybrids.

Red in for a lower 'tour' trajectory, gold is for a higher flight. Generally red will be better for stronger faster swingers, but is also for someone who hits the ball too high-my swing is 97mph but I hit a 3 wood very high-thats why I bought it.

ANd it works very well.

Shaft stifness is more strictly on swing speed. having said that if you have a problem with cutting it-dont get a stiff shaft.

Guess I really need to hit them both before I buy something. Just hate to make a 1-2 hour drive to hit a couple clubs.

My swing speed is also in the mid 90's. Most of the time I don't have any trouble getting my driver up but everything else is usually a line shot. Cutting the ball isn't a problem for me. My normal shot is nice draw. Every now and then it turns into a nasty snap hook that might go 75 yards. I currently have a stiff shaft in my driver and regular shafts in everything else.

[cocky_watchman]

sounds like you would benefit from a stiff shaft in that case-red or gold depens on how high you hit it. I bet gold stiff would be the one

[proff49]

That's what I was thinking but I'd still like to hit them before I spend $300 and find I got the wrong one.

$300+? Are you looking at the new Monster XLS? You could always buy a used XL with the Gold stiff shaft and see if you like it for about $60 as a cheap experiement. The XL is actually still a great club, I can't tell any improvement at all with the XLS (haven't hit the Monster yet).

FYI the gold shaft plays a little weak to flex.
