I currently hit the fujikura motore speeder VC tour spec in an X flex. Just wondering what's a shaft or shafts that compare to it that I could try out?

David,
The Speeder VC Tour Spec is a very low launching low spin shaft. I would suggest trying the Diamana D+ White as a comparable option.
Thanks
Will
Thanks will! Just curious does the kiyoshi black compare to the VC tour spec? And or the white?

Yes, the Kiyoshi Black is close to the VC Tour Spec as far as low launch and low spin characteristics.
We have a chart in our custom options book that I reference every day. It is on page 5 of the following PDF file
http://media.titleist.com/images/titleist/pdfs/US/2014/2014_Custom_Options_Book_US.pdf
A few things to note are listed on the bottom of the chart. One of the most important things to remember is the following note, "Because every player loads and releases the shafts differently, the above chart is a relative (not absolute) measure of how each shaft performs, and how they perform relative to each other."
I hope this helps as a reference and please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank you

David, you should definitely try the Diamana D+ White Board, it is a great shaft in an X flex with 3 different weight options. Something else to try would be the Aldila Tour Green which is very similar to the Diamana White Board but has the added option of a Tour X flex in addition to the X flex. Just some food for thought.

David H,
I have the same shaft, Motore Speeder VC 7.2 Tour Spec XStiff. I am actually thinking about the 8.2 Tour Spec for the driver just for fun.. I love it. I also have the DIamana 'Ahina 80 XStiff and the Tour AD DI8 which launch a bit higher and spin more (I am able to work these more).
What is it that you don't like about the Motore Speeder that is making you think about changing? Workability possibly?
By the way, I use those shafts in a 910 D3 8.5*.

i just want something that I can hit straight. I swing hard and want a very low spinning shaft that I can just hit straight. I don't need to work the ball. I swing 120 mph with my driver. I do love the tour spec, just wanted to try another shaft comparable to it
Totally understand.
For me the Motore Speeder is maybe a touch too straight but I am not in your swing speed neighborhood.
I think you are thinking of the right shafts. Might consider tipping a future shaft as well.
I don't know enough about the Rogue shaft but you might want to do some research on the 125 MSI Rogue shaft. I don't know enough about it so can't really help other than thinking it might be something you might want to look into as well.
Wish I could be more help.

Try the Graphite Design Tour AD Di 7 X, its a great shaft you might just end up liking it...
