Another great shaft, definitly a players shaft though.Unless your swingspeed's over a 100mph you prob shouldn't bother, you'll have trouble loading it properly.
This shaft helped me eliminate the left side if the course, just a gentle fade, never goes left, well unless you put a bad swing on it
I have the Titleist model in my 904 3wood. Don't know how it compares to the original model, but I like mine a lot. A bit stiff and heavy, which I like and my misses are all the same, which makes shot making predictable. Definitely not for most players though. I don't even know if I'm good enough to use it...
What can i say fuji makes great shafts, i have this shaft in my r7 quad tp, so i have the tp graphics which look better i think, this shaft is stable it is stiff and i can swing hard at it , i hit a soft draw with this, i swing well over 100mph, bout 110, 112 i think , my ball speed is on an average of 160+ give or take a few mph's the flight on the club is mid-high with not a lot of spin it penetrates really well and stays up there for ages, i dont feel like i struggle to load the club like others say i just feel like it suits me fine
I was a little skeptical about buying a premium shaft, but I had a chance to pick one up in a TM R5 9.5 neutral as a gift. I got fitted on a launch monitor and got one in the S flex. It has made a world of difference. Previously, I played a 983K 8.5 with a Grafalloy Prolite with a S flex. The extra weight of 757 over my previous shaft helped my control a ton. My tendency is to hit a hook, like way out of control 80yd left hook. I have a hard time doing that with this shaft. I see others saying it is "board" like, but I don't get that impression at all. On the launch monitor, my swing speed was about 109-114 with ball speeds in the mid-high 150s. I have played about 4 rounds with the new club and don't think I can recall hitting the ball straighter off the tee. In the past I have had trouble controling the direction and trajectory of my ball flight, but find it much easier with this combination.
I tried about every other driver/shaft combo on the market and this worked best for me. I thought I would like the Diamana/TM combo, but really didn't. I think I tried the Diamana 63, the 83 probably is a better fit for me.
I bought a pullout Titleist speeder 757 off of Ebay, had it installed in the 5wood and never hit a 5wood so long and straight. Don't really have a need for it any longer though with the hybrids. But I'll not get rid of it. I can always go back if I feel it to be necessary. Nice shaft, I'm still learning alot about them. This was one of the first shafts I bought.
I really like the 757 as well. I have it in my 510TP 9.5 (stiff) and I feel like it doesn't torque very much. I'm sure alot of the ball flight characteristics have something to do with the head design but the shaft doesn't let the head lag or twist very much resulting in a relatively straight ball flight unless I want it to do otherwise. Simp
I like the height the 757 generates, but it tends to upshoot every now and again. Otherwise...very long and very accurate shaft thats way too **** expensive

I keep looking for a better shaft....or one about the same but not so expensive. Thus far the search has been futile. The 757 speeder is great stuff. Maybe it will get some competition this spring.
I have the pro-spec 757 S in a 580XD and I liked the shaft quite a bit. Very smooth feeling shaft and truly the first time I felt a shaft kick. My swing speed is 105-110 and the shaft is untipped, if I swing smooth i get great results but I cannot go after one with this set-up. I am thinking about buying an X and putting in the J33 460 9.5 driver.
It offers great flight, trajectory and distance, very consistant.
Have an R5 w/ Speeder 757 and love this club/shaft combo. It replaced a Cleveland Comp w/ PL 65. I get more distance with this shaft and much better consistency. I use a tracking software and I was hitting 44% fairways and getting between 250-270 with cleveland. Over the last 5 outings with new driver, I am hitting 71% fairways and distance is ranging between 260-290 depending on contact and conditions. I get the occasional driver over 300 including roll. The main difference I noticed is the ballflight. I wasn't getting much roll w/ the cleveland. I have a more piecing ballflight with the 757 and much more roll. But the main thing I love about this shaft is the control. I hit the ball straight or w/ a slight fade. If I miss the fairway, it usually isn't by much. I have never been monitored on launch machine, so I don't know what my swingspeed is. I hit my 5 iron 185 and play the stiff 757.
What does the 757 usually costs at stores without being installed? i ask this because on rockbottomgolf.com, they have a R5 with a 757 stiff new for 250.00 /us and I am in the market for a new driver, would this be a great deal for the driver/shaft combo? it is what im looking for without going over 300....
