Fujikura TSG Pro XLR8 61S Questions

[412BryanC]

I have been working on my swing and finally did my first fitting for a driver with True Spec Golf in an outdoor location. I was fitted with a Cobra LTDX LS 9* head with Fujikura TSG Pro LXR8 61 Stiff with a 106-107MPH club head speed.. I can't seem to find much about this shaft online and had a few questions I would appreciate some guidance on. 

1. Is this a good shaft and worth the $275 upgrade price? 

2. I'm worried I might be right on the edge on S and X flex.

3. Is there any other shafts that are similar I should try to hit? I tried a Ventus Blue 6S TR which was the second best shaft.

I have played that shaft in my driver for 5-6 years now in a G400 LST...can't kick it out.  My ss is around 102.

 

Plays softer than the Ventus Blue...I have the Sim2 with Ventus Blue and cannot get it to release the same.  Fujikura website indicates current comparable would be the Ventus, but does not feel it to me.

 

I would not pay $275 though...it's not a current production model and with patience you can find new online for less than $100...just get it to a clubmaker to install adapter and grip.

 

Good luck!
