Speeder for Titleist vs Proforce V2 vs Prolite for Titleist

Speeder for Titleist! What flex should I choose???

I´m thinking of replacing the V2 75 S-flex shaft in my D2 driver and 904F 3-wood because it feels quite dead on impact and I have a hard time loading it. I´m thinking of the Speeder for Titleist shaft but I´m not sure of what flex I should choose. I´m thinking that S-flex probably would be the right choice regarding that my SS is about 100, carry-distance 235-245. I want a boring ballflight with control.

Then I get confused when I remember my old 983K that had the Prolite for Titleist in R-flex. That combo felt pretty good. Maybe I would benefit from going with the R-flex in the Speeder for Titleist too. I have also tried the 983K with the Speeder for Titleist S-flex with the old graphics, and I liked it. Was that the same shaft as the stock shaft they offer now?

Anyone have any good advice regarding what flex to choose???

My impressions are that the Titleist speeder felt very close to the V2 flex for flex.

the Speeder for Titleist is more soft and whippy than Speeder 757. Those are totally different shaft. I had 983E with Speeder for titleist stiff. I had a hard time to control this driver, because of my quick tempo style. Speeder 757 is awesome for my swing style. I am not sure your swing style. But, if your swing style is quick tempo. I would tell you not to throw speeder of titleist in D2. Otherwise, it is OK.

Regarding stiffness, stiff is fine for you if you are going to buy speeder for titleist. My friend has 983K with speeder of titleist stiff shaft. His SS is 95 - 100. Driver distance is ~ 240 yards. His swing style is slow tempo and upper-cut style. FYI.

Thanks! Then the Titleist Speeder should suit me just fine, because I´m more medium tempo than quick tempo.

I'm in the same sort of boat at the moment. Currently looking to upgrade from an Aldila NV65 R shaft in my 905R. Speeder's are great shafts though I am currently deciding which model and flex to get. My SS is 98 mph +/- 3 mph. Is this fine for a stiff flex? Either way I'm definitely gravitating towards a 660TR (which seems to be a lighter version of the 757 with more torque).

Not sure what your SS is but I also have a smooth swing and medium tempo. Maybe this would be a good option for you too?

The reason the Titleist speeder feels softer than the 757 is due to tip length.
The 757 only has like 2.5" while the T-speeder has 4"s due account for the bore-through.
