MEMBER REVIEWS! Fujikura Motore X F1 and F3 Shafts! Read What Members Are Saying Here!


Recommended Posts

My new Cobra Radspeed XB driver with the Motore X F3 6S arrived a few days ago, and a range session + 18 on Sunday were the first time I got to hit it since it came in. 

 

Absolutely loved it. I have an average/slower driver swing speed (95-98mph) and my previous driver was a used Callaway Rogue Draw with a stiff HZRDUS Yellow -- definitely the wrong shaft for me, but one I bought super-cheap when I was just getting back into golf. 

 

I know this might not hold true for those with faster swing speeds, but I loved the more active feel in the handle/mid-section. Felt more connected to the shaft, and on the range I made more center contact than I ever have before. Then on the course, everything just wanted to fly straight. The fairways were wet and sort of soft so I wasn't getting much roll, but I was getting out about 260 pretty consistently.

 

I don't have the deep experience with shafts that a lot of folks here do, so take this all fwiw. Other shafts I liked when testing them were the Tensei AV Raw Blue, which I thought was exceptional though I'd say it's a very different feel with a relatively stiffer handle and a more flexible tip, and the HZRDUS Smoke Blue RDX. I could see myself being happy playing either of those. But @Fujikura Golf mentioned "more feel and potentially more carry distance" in this thread and that very accurately describes my experience so far. The Motore X F3 feels active without ever making me feel like I was losing control. Really happy with it.

Great to hear! thank you for sharing. The positive feedback about this shaft is starting to bubble up now that most golf shops are back in action and golfers are playing more, so it's great to hear.

Let us know if you guys have any more questions on Motore X. Happy to help.

I currently have a Tour Spec Atmos Blue (Stiff) in my Cobra SZ driver. 
 

How would the Motore X compare to it as I am now looking at the Cobra Radspeed driver which has it as a no-upcharge shaft option. 
 

Keen to see whether you think I would see any advantage in the Motore X. 
 

Thanks in advance!

So I have an F1 6x coming in for my driver and pretty excited about trying the f3 in my 3HL.  Currently the VB in the 3HL launches a bit low sometimes and i really liked the feel of the F1 6x compared to the VB in my driver.  Tried it with a sim2 max and it was a good combo.

Has anyone tested a F1 in s-flex vs. a F3 in x-flex?  The tip flex, butt flex, and torque numbers on the website are almost identical when comparing the two.  I like my F3 in stiff and want to test it in x-flex but I'm seeing a lot more F1's in stiff available.
