Landy,
I was not looking for shaft info...I was simply replying to John Y's question about shaft comparison between the shafts he listed. I suggested looking at the Shaft Performance Guide as a starting point for gathering info on the shafts while he recovered from rotator cuff surgery. I also followed up and suggested that once he was fully recovered he should go through a fitting, it's the only true method to find the correct shaft for your swing. So like most on the site will recommend....go through a fitting.

Those shafts are two years old plus. Below is the latest updates with price for you to consider. Best to get a fitting to see what works best with your club head. These may or may not be for you. The shaft is the most important element in the fitting and you want to make sure you have the right one. GO SEE A FITTER. =)

The all-new Speeder Evolution VI continues the cadence of high-performance, premium shafts golfers have come to expect from the Speeder Evolution series. Speeder Evolution VI incorporates the latest materials and construction practices available with the advanced learnings from its predecessors. Based on the profile of Evo IV, Evo VI provides exceptional speed and stability for longer, straighter shots off the tee and features a low-mid launch/spin that fits perfectly between Evo IV and Evo V. $400 MSRP

The 5th Generation KURO KAGE Black with Dual-Core Titanium Nickel (TiNi) Wire Technology and Straight Flight Weighting (SFW) is MCA GOLF’s latest design that yields the same high launch and profile as its predecessor KURO KAGE Black TiNi –featuring Dual-Core TiNi Wire and SFW. The 5th generation offers a slightly tighter profile in overall stiffness with lower torque to deliver less spin that its predecessor. SFW (Straight Flight Weighting) helps golfers square the clubface through impact, thus creating straighter shots. $225.

Note: The 55 Series does not have the SFW technology, and is lower in torque.

All shafts are only available in a 0.335 tip size.

If Bomber3 doesn’t respond (people come and go) the thread didn’t indicate any replacement was selected over the Speeder and John Y indicated his speed.

The takeaway is if you have a 910 or newer driver with a speeder shaft, take it to a fitting. Unless coming from a TSi, the TSR driver and the current shafts can’t directly compare to a shaft from the last decade. In good news, after getting a new driver and shaft, you can keep the Speeder for nostalgia and use ad lib.

Hello Barry - I know its a old post but I have the same question on the Speeder Evo vs the KK 5th.
Also have your same swing speed. What did you decide? Thank you

I went to the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside and I was fit for the Tensei AV Blue series. I have a moderate swing and I love these shafts. I have my weights staggered a bit, I have a TSI2 Driver and 2 TSi2 Fairway metals, and 1 TSi1 Hybrid. I have the Tensei Blue series in my Driver & Fairway Metals and I have the Kuro Kage Black 60.

As Barry said, the shaft comparison guide is very resourceful. Take a look and see if you have any questions. I also recommend a fitting. Titleist has random fittings throughout your area, check the website for upcoming fittings in your area. I walked away from my fitting a brand new golfer. I have shots in my bag there weren't there before my fitting.

I also wanted to say that once you're fully healed and have practiced enough to get your swing back in shape you should schedule a fitting. Take your current driver with and you should be able to try your shaft as well as the Tensei Av Blue and Kuro Kage Black to see which works best for you. I have multiple driver shafts from fittings and always take one or two with for a comparison against Titleist current standard offerings.

Best of luck with a speedy recovery!

Try the Shaft Performance Guide, it will give you a good snapshot of the specs for all three shafts. Just select the shafts and hit "compare".
