For those who got on the train (or pre train) post here!
I'll start....

Picked mine up this arvo, was in a Wilson box so was hoping it didn't give it bad juju!
Warmed up well with 30 iron shots, then left it at standard (10.5*) and let rip.
As is the stock shaft didn't work that well for me.
Launched bloody high and spun it's tits off.
The stock shaft is way way to long and a touch light.
Lowered the loft, better but still not that good.
Bear in mind my coach was at the range and wasn't far away so he was watching me hit balls since I got there.
Pulled the stock shaft and threw in a Fuji Tour Spec Fuel stiff , lowered it to 9.5* and hey presto, a totally different driver.
Looks and reminds me of my old 07 Burner TP.
My coach came over and started watching me hit balls, then grabbed it off me and bashed a few, he was really impressed (he's a Ping Fanboi).
I forgot to grab my White Tie as it was in my R1 so I'm keen to give that a crack hopefully tomorrow afternoon.
I'm impressed, I like the looks and feel better than my R1 Black head.
Peace Titty.

I'm with you on the shaft, don't like the stock stiff shaft at all, felt whippy and too long.

I don't have any fancy shafts so I'll have to scoure around for one.

Swing speed 105mph driver, any suggestions I'd be happy to listen

The nice hits I did get felt pretty good

Took mine to the range this arvo. With the stock S shaft hitting around the same as my ACP with a 73g ahina. I must say that the miss hits go nearly as far as the good hit. Easy to hit the mega draw with it. Should say its the 9.5 turned down to 8.5 however doesn't look as flat as the ACP at the same loft. Very happy at moment and I was gripping down an inch and a bit, I do this with all new divers cause first change I make is take an inch of.

Tried mine a couple times. Definitely launches lower than my Razr fit, but a nice, penetrating flight.

The stock stiff is surprisingly good. Going to cut it to 45" and trial again. Definitely impress.

I will make a final call once I cut it down.

I thought the shaft "felt" good also, but it just spun too much, you could see it quite easily in flight.
I have other shafts so I won't bother cutting it down, but for the price it's worth a shot.

Hey mate, looking forward to getting a good shaft into it.

I have been pull hooking this like there's no tomorrow.

My old Amp Cell blue went pretty straight and long, so hopefully it's just the default shaft (which never felt right obviously from day one)

Mind you, I found if I take a full exaggerated fade set up with the right foot well forward of the left and swing for a fade, it goes like a rocket.

Smacked it way past the corner tree line this morning at KGC on the 16th surprisingly, leaving an easy 8 or 9 iron into the green

The SLDR is like Venus Williams and the Jetspeed is like Serena. Everyone thought Venus was going to be the gun, but Serena smashed her!!!

The JetSpeed is cheaper and shit loads easier to hit.....what else do you want!!!

3oneday
14th May 2014, 12:43 PM
The longer the shaft the heavier the head will feel, the lighter the shaft the same, unless the head is light as well. To test this, grab your shaft halfway down and give it a waggle, you should notice the difference.

Unless you are a gun, remember that the golf companies match a shaft to head to ensure it plays it's absolute best from the shelf. Changing it around is dangerous if you don't know what you are doing.

Had a tonk of the JetSpeed at Sharkys this evening, 9.5* stock stiff shaft. It's a pretty light stiff shaft, so felt floppy to me. But didn't expect much from the shaft. I quite like the look of the head at address, the graphics on the top look pretty cool, and it's quite a shallow face compared to the recent TM drivers. Straight up it felt easier to hit than the SLDR for me...with a solid shaft it should easily be a winner. I've got two solid drivers I really like at the moment (913D2 and Cleveland Classic XL Custom), so not sure if I'd get it. Although I do have a $25 Golfbox voucher, so I could grab one new for only $194... Hmmm...is it worth it lads? And then having to track down a shaft that suits me...

Every TM driver dies quickly, SLDR original already superceded. Comes down to performance, if these blokes keep it for more than a month, it's a ball tearer.

FuzzyJuzzy
15th May 2014, 09:26 AM
Think I'm going to grab one - a mate is placing a GolfBox order today, which I'll jump on. Have you blokes found the whole "loft up" thing applies to the JS as much as it did the SLDR? I bought a 9.5* SLDR a while ago cos it was working when I demoed it (they always do, don't they?), but then I ended up thinking I should've gone the 10.5* head instead after I'd bought it. I know the JS is meant to spin more than the SLDR…so do you reckon that implies that if you normally game a 9.5* driver then you'd best go a 9.5* JS, or still loft up and go the 10.5* head? I know they're adjustable +/- 1.5*, but I'd like to get the head that's most ideal.
Also, this will be a back up driver for me (well, unless it arse kicks like there's no tomorrow), so don't know how keen/patient I am at this stage to ferret around for a killer shaft for it. You blokes who are knocking an inch off the standard stiff shaft, are you finding that improves things much? At 49 grams it's a pretty light Stiff shaft…in my 913D2 I've got the Diamana Whiteboard D+ 72 Stiff, and for me that shaft (well, in that head, at least) just feels super solid. Then a while ago I got custom fitted at the Callaway joint at Alexandria for a 60g Fubuki Alpha X-Flex in a RAZR Fit Xtreme I had at the time. I had this Fubuki in a SLDR, and now in my Cleveland Classic XL Custom, and it goes alright, but just feels so much different than the Diamana in my 913D2. My swing speed with driver somewhere around 100-110… . Any handy feedback would be fully awesome:). Cheers lads, FJ.

Think I'm going to grab one - a mate is placing a GolfBox order today, which I'll jump on. Have you blokes found the whole "loft up" thing applies to the JS as much as it did the SLDR? I bought a 9.5* SLDR a while ago cos it was working when I demoed it (they always do, don't they?), but then I ended up thinking I should've gone the 10.5* head instead after I'd bought it. I know the JS is meant to spin more than the SLDR…so do you reckon that implies that if you normally game a 9.5* driver then you'd best go a 9.5* JS, or still loft up and go the 10.5* head? I know they're adjustable +/- 1.5*, but I'd like to get the head that's most ideal.
Also, this will be a back up driver for me (well, unless it arse kicks like there's no tomorrow), so don't know how keen/patient I am at this stage to ferret around for a killer shaft for it.

doesn't kaymer have a di-6x shaft? high launching shaft counter-acting the extra loft needs?
i've got a JS with the stock x-flex shaft (as the stiff felt wippy), i've cut it down to just over 45" and i've set the 9.5 on roughly 10 degrees
used to use an R1 on 9 degrees (with the tp shaft) - the JS actually spins less and goes further for me as is, it's really light with that shaft but so far i'm enjoying it.
getting more distance with more fairways - though the R1 was more forgiving for heal/toe shots the JS feels like it has a larger sweet spot in regards to low/high on the face

could be all wrong but that's what's happening for me haha :D

I'm far, far, far, faaaaarrr from an expert, but if you're going to put a better shaft in the JS would it make sense to make sure it's a light-ish shaft, like a Fubuki, given how light the standard shaft is? For example, the Diamana Whiteboard D+ 72 S goes Ace in my 913D2, but with it being fairly heavy would it be an arsehole in the JS?

First comp round with JetSpeed today - hit a couple of pearlers, and put some bad swings on it too. I can hit good drives with the stock stiff JS shaft, I just need to slow my swing down and go at it smoothly...and I don't think that's a bad thing as most of us probably swing too hard, particularly with the driver. One of the best feelings, for me, in golf is making a smooth, balanced swing with the driver and still seeing the ball fly way out there, and straight. Had a couple of those today. The light overall weight of the JS better enables and encourages that swing thought for me...don't think I'd be as conscious/intentional about it with a driver with a heavier shaft. That said, it's a pretty light shaft in the JetSpeed. I'll put something aftermarket, yet still lightweight, in it, like a spare Fubuki 53g Stiff shaft I've got in the garage...

I got the 10.5* and set it on 10.5, which sits a little open which i like. I've only used it with the RedTie, I think it is a 6Q3. I tee it up quite high as that's how I normally set to hit a driver.

I finally measured the SW and length of my driver and some very interesting results. I knew the club felt light, but its swing weight is C8 which is a lot lower than D3 which is what I normally use. I also thought it was around the 44" range, but it plays at 44".

I like it as is so I won't be changing a thing.

Diamana D+ 62 X (67 grams) coming in next couple of days which will play at 45.5". Also got a Diamana TP 65 X (same weight but slightly less torque) that should play the same length

I might see if I can squeeze in a Wed morning comp round at Penrith and give it a go, and will most likely set it to 9.5*.

My swing speed is in the range of 90-95 mph and I was using Ping G25 12* with stock stiff shaft. My average driving distance has been around 230m. I have hit my G25 on a number of launch monitors and have always confirmed it suited my swing speed and was getting ideal launch angle and maybe a touch too much spin (close to 3000 on a hit off a sweet spot) I went to a TM demo day and hit my G25 on flightscope and the guy running the demo day told me I was the first guy to turn up with the right gear for my swing. I had a few hit with SLDR 12* with stock stiff shaft and although a good hit was carrying 10 more metres and had very good spin numbers. I was only able to make a good contact a few times out of 10.

So I just had to tell myself I got the right driver and should be quite happy with it. My driving has been pretty consistent and was not part of the game that hurt my score. However, like everyone else, I kept on searching for a driver which could squeeze a few more metres.

Then when I saw the chance to grab the JS for $165, I had to jump on the train because I wanted to try the lighter shaft with regular flex.
After receiving the driver, a range session confirmed that JS definitely carried longer when hit properly.

I have only played a couple of competition rounds with JS but have been really happy. When I flush it, the ball will always ends up in the new territory I have never been.
However, when JS really shines is when I hit it low on the face, it launches lower but it will roll to my average distance.

I found SLDR much harder to hit than G25 but JS is as easy as G25 if not better.

On Sat, on 460m par 5 hole, I was 190m out after the tee shot and I was on the green with my G25 7 wood second shot and another par 5 hole with 490m, I was out 225m and hit a 4W second shot which I didn't hit it flush but I only had 25m chip shot to the pin.

So far, it has been the best $165 I spent on a golf item.

Am I right in thinking that the RBZ Stage 2 Tour uses the same adapter as the Jetspeed? I think I am... if so, I might throw my slightly cut down 6Q3 into the Jetspeed and try that for a couple of rounds. A bit shorter might help me keep the swing a bit more under control, and a bit more weight might help it too.

Seriously need to go back for another lesson and spend some more time at the range, I know it's not the club's fault. But for now, just need to try and limit the damage!

I put my stock standard 70g Stiff shaft from my Stage 2 Tour 3W into my JS and had my first hit of it this morning in 9 quick practice holes before work. I don't know much about swing weight and all that stuff, but it all felt fine to me. I play a 72g Diamana Whiteboard in my 913D2, so the weight of the 3W shaft in the JS head felt fine to me. I was more worried about the shaft length - 43.5" compared to the 46" of the standard JS shaft, and I'm 6'2" as well. But that didn't seem to affect things much. I felt like I may have been sacrifing some distance, but then I connected with a couple of really solid strikes and realised that wasn't really the case. Obviously, the shorter, firmer and heavier 3W shaft helped keep it on the fairway and I didn't spray it as much as I did with the stock Stiff JS shaft. Will keep testing it, but this may do the trick, at least until I decide to get a proper shaft for my JetSpeed... . I think it's worth a shot for anyone who has the shits with the standard JS shaft and has a Stage 2 Fairway wood lying around.... . These days I'm bagging driver, 17* hybrid, 3-iron, along with three wedges, so I don't really use my 3W at the moment...

I noticed the tiniest little pin prick sized marks or removed paint where the face meets the top line and I haven't hit any off there.

I got a couple major scratches on the top. Lucky I'm hitting good otherwise, the resale value is going really drop ;-)

No issue with mine as yet. I've come down a little steep on some and caught them on the face towards the top line, but no damage done...

Or you could go one of those ridiculous tees with a string attached to a second, smaller tee that anchors the actual tee. Most…wankerish…golf..gear…EVER:).

FuzzyJuzzy

The standard Stiff shaft from my Stage 2 Tour 3W seems to be going alright in my JetSpeed - feels better for me than the standard shaft, for sure. Still on the lookout for a decent aftermarket shaft for it, but the 3W shaft will do for now, even though it's only 43.5" and I'm 6'2"...

TNO means an inch is 6 swing weight points, not 3.

Taking an inch off will put you around the high C's, maybe D0 if lucky. You'll lose about 6 SW points.

No it is not the lady's it is for the shaft shown only. Which I must apologise it is the TP with the 60 gram shaft (far from the ladies club)

Here it is for the standard head with the 49 shaft at 46 and 45

Sounds about right, mine is playing C8 at 45" with a 60 odd gram shaft.

Putting all this swing weight rubbish aside (;)),

Has anybody tipped trimmed the stock shaft to length??

I've always had good success tipping the stock made for things that you get with TM, so wondering has anybody tried it yet.
Or has everyone just whacked it off the butt??

Im seriously thinking about doing this then butt cutting to play 44.75", any tipping suggestions, 1/2", 3/4"????
Im just worried about overall swingweight as the JS head is very light to begin with.
I weighed mine, around 194gm's (id love to know what the sole weight is)?
My R1 Black is 204 gm's with stock 1&10gm weights.
Anyone with a JS have a torque wrench kit and could pull the sole weight and weigh it for me....?

They use a tamper proof Torx style screw I think, should be easy enough to get out if you have a tamper proof bit to suit. They sell the weights in 2 gram increments, 2g to 10g.

No Jetspeed here. The weights look to have the same head type as the "fixed" weights in RBZs. I have a drill and bit set I got from Aldi, that has just about every bit type there is, including the tamper proof ones.

According to them the weight varies for each club as they use that to adjust to the D5 swing weight.

Finally hit my jetspeed tonight after having an oban devotion arrive and was very impressed. Very forgiving head bit a little tinny in sound. Might see if uncle perci can cotton ball it for me which will add some head weight and allow me to play it at 44.5 which is my preferred driver length. Also have a motore TS 6.2 to try and a 73g blue board but gonna see how the oban behaves on Saturday first

Is anyone who got in on the JetSpeed train totally despising it now and trying to offload it? I'm loving mine - used it for two full comp rounds last weekend and it's a driver that I feel I can swing quite easy with and still get solid distances. Haven't had the time/knowledge to source a quality shaft for it as yet, so I've just got my Stage 2 Tour 3W shaft in it at the moment, which doesn't feel too shabby... . It's a winner for me...much more so than the SLDR I used to own...

1 range session with mine. hated the stock shaft.

I've been hitting my 910 with ADDI6S too well at present to change. Once my fubuki arrives I'll prob throw the jetspeed in the bag for a few weeks and see how it goes.

Let us know how the JS goes with the Fubuki mate. I've got a Fubuki Alpha 60g X-stiff in my Cleveland Classic XL Custom that I may try in my JetSpeed sometime. I'm keen to get a decent shaft for it…can't be masquerading with a 3W shaft in my driver for too long:).
