Opinions needed on the Titleist Speeder stiff shaft

Sonic · June 16, 2008

for the 983e or k, i know i know it's old but...

At the price they go on Ebay, I'd like to get a 983e or a k, but would like your opinions on the stock Speeder shaft in stiff flex for these drivers.
My swing speed is around 105 but I'm not sure. For example, The UST Proforce 65 stiff is a little boardy and I usually fade or slice it whatever the club head it came with, but I spray left or right the regular 65...
I hit well the Graffaloy Prolaunch blue stiff, but not the Aldila NV65 stiff. Hope it gives you a clue if the Speeder would fit me! Seems like I'm between flexes.

A couple years ago I had a 983K with DG X100. It was too stiff and I lost some distance but it was straighter than many graphite shafts.

What I really want is a low trajectory driver with a ton of roll, like the 975D had.

I had the stock Speeder in S flex in a 983K for 2 seasons. It's a good shaft - it doesn't play as stiff as the "true" Speeder shaft. It has higher torque than the 757 (3.0 vs 2.5) and feels softer. I wouldn't worry about it being too stiff with your swing speed. Give it a shot.
