APPLY NOW: Fujikura Motore X Shaft Testing!

[knudson81]

 

Fujikura Golf just released the all-new Motore X and we are looking for 5 members to test it out! The team at Fujikura has captured data from thousands of swings using their enso high-speed motion capture system to create a shaft engineered for speed and backed by stability. The Motore X line of shafts uses 40 ton carbon fiber to minimize twisting and a core paired with an accelerated taper that transfers more energy for more ballspeed and distance. Thin layers of full-length bias plies create a balanced torsional strength for stability and consistency. The Motore X has 2 models to fit your desired ball flight, the F1 is lower launching and spinning while the F3 offers a mid/high launch with mid spin.
