R9 Shaft - TM Fujikura Motore 65 vs Fujikura Motore 65

[robertc2076]

Does anyone know the difference between the TaylorMade Fujikura Motore 65 shaft versus a Fujikura Motore 65? Is it just the color and graphics on the shaft?

The TM Fuji Motore F1 TP shaft is the exact same shaft with the TM paint scheme. The stock (non-TP) Motore (doesn't say "F1") is a much cheaper shaft and not as consistent. It also has a much lower kick point and more torque.

Slightly OFF TOPIC,

Is the Motore F1 suppose to be the Rombax Z or Rombax replacement? WHich would you guys say is the smoother of the two, Rombax Z or Motore F1

thanks

Not at all. They are both a smooth shaft, but I would say the Rombax is just a little smoother but delivers a higher ball flight than the F1 for me.

How come the shaft torques, and in some cases weights, are different? For example the real Fujikura Motore F1 65 S weighs 65 grams and has 3.2 torque. TaylorMade TP version weighs the same but has 3.5 torque. In the 75 S the torques are 3.0 and 3.4 respectively.

thinking about selling my 65g and 75g motore f1, any interest here or should I throw it on the bay?
