I have a chance to acquire a classic 983k with a Fuji Speeder 757 X flex. I'm getting it for a dirt cheap and want to try it out for the heck of it. Anyone have any info on this shaft? I know it's a "made for" and realize it won't be exactly the same as the original Fuji. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Only thing you can do is try it out. Since it's a "made for" shaft, they are typically lighter and have a higher torque because that's what will help most amateurs. But, that's not to say it won't fit you perfectly.

I have seen some info that would indicate that the "made for" 757 was identical to the aftermarket shafts, but I had also heard that they spec'd the 757 so tight that the majority of shafts were rejected for being out of spec. Maybe the "made for" 757s weren't spec'd quite so tightly.

I had a 757 (stiff) in a Bridgestone J33 3w. It was great when my swing was on and I could really put some heat on it, but it was too stout when I was swinging easy.

the 757 plays very stiff. stiffer than the reg speeder. I hit it in a demo driver and didnt notice any marked difference b/w the fujikura vista tour that i have in my driver. ive read it is ideal for hard hitters and quick tempos. Its a lower launching shaft too.
