Recommended Posts

Interested to hear more on this as well. Of the few people i have talked to about f1 and f3 , most are saying f1 is much stiffer feeling than they were expecting.

Even though theyre both Motore X in the same line, they both feel pretty different. Much like the Ventus Black/Red play different then the Blue within the same line - and even though the only difference you can publicly see in the Fuji specs is that the F1 is stiffer in the mid and handle - there's something else to it that's different that I can't quite put my finger on.

Maybe Fuji can elaborate?

What I can say is from a feel perspective the F1 feels MUCH more linear and torsionally stiff than the F3. I really had to go at the F1 to make it come alive and tbh that was awesome when I took a full swing but any other swing just didnt feel like I was getting the feedback I want in a shaft. I could never really manipulate the face like I wanted to, either. I did nail some great drives with it, but the F3 is waaaay better - for me - overall.

My opinion, of course.

Seems I'm getting similar results from the video TXG did. I am also surprised that the F3 plays as well as it does for me as my last two shafts were the Pro 2.0 TS and ATMOS Black which are both low/low models.

I played 18 with the F3 today, officially, and it was awesome. No complaints what-so-ever and my average driving distance was high as its ever been. Similar to the F1 I can also really go at the ball with the F3 and still not lose it left - interestingly. Probably still in a honeymoon phase, but it's firmly in the bag for now.

Thank you for that detailed feedback, seems to echo what others have been saying. Guys that typically gravitate towards low-mid/low shafts are actually liking the f3 better. It seems f1 is best suited for players that really load the shaft hard and probably have a quicker tempo. Now that’s just a conclusion I’m making off feedback from 6-7 guys that have hit both shafts. I have not had a chance to try either yet myself.

@Fujikura Golf I’m currently gaming the motore speeder vc 6.2x non ts in TS3. Nothing has been better for me so far. It has done wonders for my dispersion. Love the smooth feel and does not play overly stiff. I’m around 105-106 driver SS with smooth transition. Which one of these would be the best to transition into?

@Fujikura Golf I have the F3 6s in my new Mavrik driver. It replaced a tour ad xc-6. For me, this shaft is the best combination of feel and stability that I have played. Like mentioned before in this thread, it’s very responsive on smooth swings and holds up perfectly on my fastest swings. I think what I like the most about it is, that it never fools me. Meaning, what I felt like I did, good or bad, matches the ball flight that I see. Great shaft. Just put a 7s in my sim fairway and picked up 10-12 yards of carry. Would love a hybrid option.

I have loved the feedback about the F1 vs. F3. I got a F1 from the contest and honestly, it doesn't fit my swing profile. That being said, I am swinging a Ventus Black 6X really well. Maybe @Fujikura Golf will help me swap out my F1 for a F3?! Please!!!

Motore X F1 would be most similar with stiff handle and mid like motore speeder VCgreat to hear, thank you for sharing your feedback!If you're liking Ventus Black then stick with it! It's tough to beat that shaft. F3 is quite different than black, see our chart below.

Looking for feedback with f3 as a fairway wood?  Love a low 70 gram weight but torque seems high.

@Fujikura Golf said they were getting great feedback with these as a fairway wood shaft. I believe there's a few on tour in use as well.

Anyone hitting the F3 6s in a fairway?

 

odd Cobra has the 6 as the stock fairway shaft, no F3 7 even as a choice 

I have.  At a fitting.  Crushed it, good numbers and results...but it lacks stability imo.  It vibrates when you hit the ball.  Can't explain it...not something I've felt in a while.  Need a stiffer tip...giggitty...just not firm enough....phrasing.

 

Liked the Ventus more, but the numbers were somgood with motore.  Tried f3 50, 60 and 70.  In dr, 3w, 7wd, respectively.  Fitter claims the SW was heavier on the DR, which exaggerated it, but once I felt it, I couldn't let it go.  Got one on the 7wd as a test, so once I get it,.I can add more info.  Buuut, I think this was more about the other posters. 

 

@fuji, if you want me to try these babies for free, I can send specs!!

That was exactly my plan, until I noticed the same thing. The F3 6s is 68 grams according to their website, so it might be close enough. I’m going to demo one on the course this weekend to find out.

I am going to roll with it, see how it works. I have a smoke black 70 in my F9, can swap it in if needed.

@ASN21 just noticed your WITB, awesome setup! thank you for gaming all Fuji and hope you're loving them.

Sure am loving them. Love the Motore X lineup. If you guys made a hybrid version I would rock one as well but I’m rolling with the stock TaylorMade ventus shaft for now. Keep up the great work!

Would very much know what a good driving iron shaft would be if I want to lower ball flight but maintain softer handle feel of Ventus Blue and Motore X F3.

 

As an aside, I'm shocked how well I hit the F3, I'm usually a low/low type guy, but the F3 is really hitting the spot for me.
