Fujikura Motore Speeder vc 6.2x users, what have you moved into?

Vroomer99 · September 24, 2021

Have been playing that shaft for the last 5 years, and have not found one I like more. Just got a Atmos black 6X today, going to give it a go shortly.

I have the Atmos black 7X in my 3 wood and love it!

I'm glad that was helpful! The Atmos Black is like a more stout version of the Speeder IV. Based on the EI curves below, we can see that the Atmos Black hangs on to more stiffness through the mid and tip sections but with the same overall "shape" Ths Speeder IV would feel a little softer in that area and aggressive swingers would likely feel a good bit more load when compared to the Black:

The Atmos Blue is like the Black with the bumps smoothed out, which is why it probably felt nice in a fairway to you:

The Motore .2 sits a bit in the middle, with the big difference being the increased butt stiffness:

And to put an image to the "Super Blueboard" comment, here is the Motore .2 compared to the Diamana BF which is a pretty classic Blue profile.

The highlighted areas on the Motore there are where the "Super" bit comes from. More stiffness in those areas creates more stability, but the very linear nature (straighter line) is what some people feel as "smooth". Smoothness can come from a number of different areas in a shaft's design (bend profile, materials, torque, hoop strength), which is why it can be really valuable for quicker swingers to figure out the "why". I hope that is helpful!

@Valtiel this is super helpful as someone who plays a few different atmos shafts as well as motore .2 in fairway and hybrid. For whatever reason, I seem to have really good results with the atmos patriot 7x, but I can't seem to find an exact bend profile. Looking at the fuji website and their stiffness measures, it seems to be same stiffness in the handle as the black and then in between the atmos black and blue for tip stiffness. Seeing .2 also sitting between the two, could the atmos patriot just be a motore .2 with an atmos paint scheme?
