Hi everyone,

I demo'd a Taylormade SLDR 3HL today P/N N1125509 that had a Fujikura Speeder 77 Flex S shaft on it. I can not find out any information about this shaft. The Fujikura web site doesn't even have it listed as an option.

Anyone have an idea why I can't find out any information about this shaft? By the way, the store was Dick's Sporting Goods

Thanks

It is probably a Made for Taylormade golf shaft. You probably will not find it on their website.

Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking too

Can I assume then that it is not a junk shaft if it comes standard on the club?

Even expensive custom shafts might not be good. You never know. There is not standard for flex in golf shafts. Heck the tolerances can throw things out of sorts. You could demo an x-stiff, order the club that has X painted on it and it might be stiff flex or less.

Being it is Fujikura, they are known for quality. I would presume they are one of the better Made For golf shafts. I have no solid evidence to back up that statement.

Thanks, really the only reason I was wondering is because I have never had a 3 wood before, and certainly not a stiff shaft club. The tip is reported to be .350", so I guess if I needed to change to a R flex, it would be possible as that size is not real rare.

The place I went to did not measure swing speed, only ball speed. I averaged 132 over 10-15 hits with that club.

This club may be a Xmas gift from my kids, so I want to make sure it's the right combination for me

Here the info from the TM site \ SLDR FWs. Unfortunately, it doesn't give the launch profile of the shaft.

Also, the 3HL at 17* is what most club manufacturers call a 4W. The average golfer does much better with a 4W than a 3W.

I know that some graphite shafts come in .335" tip, while others are in .350" tip. But, I'm not sure which is most common. I would phone GolfWorks about this.

Focus, connect and follow through!

Thanks for the added input...I hit the club extremely well in the simulator with the stock 17* dialed in.

The club is adjustable +/- 1.5*

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
