Hi all!

I'm about to buy a Titleist 983K (at 9.5 or 10.5 degrees) but can't decide on the shaft. My choices are the YS-6, the Fujikura Speeder, the Titleist 4560, or the Prolite. I've also read that the YS-6 stiff (which I believe would be a good choice) is more close to a firm or regular in comparison to other shafts. Any help would be very welcome! Thanks!

Best, Thorsten

I've been happy with the YS-6. It can get a tad snappy at times, but it hits the ball with a good trajectory, is a good weight, and lets me work the ball either way. The Speeder isn't quite the same as the Speeder 757, so be mindful of that.

Eric, thanks a lot. I also just found this review of the YS-6 (just in case anybody else is interested):

Looks like stiff is closer to firm for the YS-6. Anyway, guess I'll go for the YS-6. Thanks again!

I borrowed a 983k with a stiff YS-6 when i tried the driver.If i was a little short and quick then i could get it going all directions sure.But it had to be a pretty ugly swing,that ANY shaft couldnt have accounted for......

I liked it alot though generally.Id also say it came up sort'a half a flex more regular than some other "stiff" shafts.Good feel though,good high launch and did get any to balloon.

Thanks to you, too! Looks like the YS-6 is a good choice, especially considering my options from that particular dealer here in Switzerland that is currently offering the 983K at a very reasonable price.

I have hit all the shafts. It all depends on what you swing speed and tempo as to which one is right for you. My personal favorite between the ones listed is the speeder. I saw that someone made a reference that the speeder is not the same as the 757. Well that is true and is a good thing cause most amateur golfers cant get full use of the 757. It is too stiff. The best shaft for the average golfer with smooth tempo and swing speed is the YS-6, but if you are a higher swing speed golfer or with a quicker tempo then you want the speeder.

Well, I frankly admit that I'm an average golfer only but thanks a lot for the additional information regarding the Speeder (757). I'll take the YS-6 stiff.

Completeley agree with texastitleistguy. The 757 is the best shaft made but you have to know how to use it. The YS-6 is a great shaft. I have it in my 3 wood and the 757 in my driver

    • You could make this a whole thread for your Bandon stuff. LMK if you want it renamed. Looking forward to seeing the photos and reading!
    • Day 81 (21 July 25) - Soft hands drill work today w/9i in the backyard.  Focused on keeping the hands quiet and getting a nice hop and roll.  Kept shots to about 20 yds or less. 
    • 39/39/78 for an 8.7 differential. Ball striking was good. Putting and chipping was off just enough to prevent a very good score.
    • Worst thing on Sunday was that NBC and Peacock wouldn't let me FF through the commercials on my DVR recording. Very boring when a guy has a huge lead on the final round and everyone else is playing for 2nd place. At least it was USA 1-2-3 in the end.
    • First day of a trip to Bandon Dunes. We played Sheep Ranch today. A Coore/Crenshaw designed course. A par 34 on the front and 38 on the back. With 8 holes with either a green, tee box, or the hole runs along the edge of the bluffs at the pacific. It has amazing vistas. With wide fairways and intermixed gorse bushes. The defense of the course are its large, undulated greens and the daily winds from the north. Many times you need to take 3-4 clubs more, if you even barely cross the wind, your ball can be taken offline or come up half to a full club short. A fantastic layout.    here are some photos.
