The new Fujikura Motore F1 has burst onto the scene in grand fashion! The Motore maybe didn’t match
the hype of some of the other newcomers such as the Voodoo and Fubuki but nonetheless it has gained it’s share of acclaim and quietly gained it’s place a top shaft of 2009′.
The Motore’s big claim to fame? H.I.T. which stands for High Inertia Tip. This feature stores more energy during the downswing and subsequently releases it just before impact while keeping the overall stability of the golf shaft intact. This is quite impressive given the speed of the shaft. The end result? Higher ball speed = longer distance off the tee. Does this shaft perform as well as it looks?
“”We’re excited to introduce the Motore F1 Series line in Hawaii next month. After our off-season player testing, many PGA Tour pros are now playing the Motore shaft,” says Pat McCoy, Fujikura’s Tour Manager. “In

my 15 years of working with pros, this is truly the most positive reception to a new product introduction. In fact, at the PGA Tour Q-School, with just a handful of prototype designs, our Motore 80 HB became the leading model of hybrid shaft at the event.”

Actual Player Feedback-
“this shaft is the best shaft i have ever had in a driver the launch angle and spin rate are just awesome. Longest and straightest driver i have ever hit. It is worth ever penny”
Pros/Positives-
Very stable shaft. This shaft will retain it’s characteristics for power/fast swingers. The H.I.T. technology has arrived and Fujikura has cornered the market.
Cons/Negatives-
This is no doubt, a high-end shaft with prices ranging from $220 to as high as $340! This will not be in reach for most golfers.

Overall Rating-
The Fujikura Motore F1 should do well. It’s caters primarily to the better player with the low to mid launch, but I think many players could fit into this shaft. The best thing to do is demo this shaft and see for yourself.
right now im playing a cobra xx speed head w/a 65g xx tour vista shaft,to hard to hit late in my round. thinking about a motore f1 75g stiff,or should i think about a 65g stiff. swing speed is 105-108 thanks.
I just purchased the shaft 2 days ago. The 75g X Stiff. I have a 108-112 swing speed. I put the shaft in a 10.5 Taylormade r7 limited. I played with it the first time today and all I can say is wow. It has more pop to it than any other shaft I have played. I am a scratch golfer so I have played many like to V2, the NV, and the red launch, none of them compare. If you are a better than average played this is the shaft!!
I am demoing a Taylor R9 10.5 with a Motore65 shaft (Flex M). I seem to be getting pretty good results. My swing speed is 91-95 mph. I tend to hit the driver lower than I want. Do I need a shaft with a lower kick point? I went to a Calloway demo day and purchased a FT9 I-mix driver 11 degrees draw and they put a Bassara 43×5ct Lite shaft in it. Bad move for me! I am getting poor results. While I am hitting it higher than the R9 with the Motore, I am not getting the distance, roll out or accuracy. Can you recommend a shaft that Calloway offers on the i-mix driver that might work for me?
Thanks.
I just got a Cobra s9-1 and really like how the head lines up and the trajectory it flies. I was told the Motore f1 55 would be a much better shaft than the stock shaft that came in the club (aldilia nvs-hl). My swing speed is around 95-100. Ihave used the fit-on 350 in stiff flex and liked that shaft. I think I want to go with the motore f1 55 stiff. Any advice?
Just fitted for an R9 TP with a 65 gram Motore F1 —- WOW!
I own and/or have tried more driver/shaft combinations than I like to admit —- this is WAY LONGER than anything else I’ve tried.
I bought the r9 with the motore 65g. stiff. I love it but how can I buy it in x-extra stiff. I’m a pretty hard swinger and sometimes reach between 115-120 mph. I’m a plus 1.5 hcp. I’m thinking with a little stiffer I will get a little more control…….thanks.
I have F 65 stiff shaft, I am thinking of trying FI 65 TP shaft. Is the TP shaft stiffer? my speed is about 97 to 100. I need the club face to close at impact. Please suggest which torque I should be looking for? looking to get more distance with a better shaft.
comments feed back appreciated!!
Hi Deepak,
That’s tough to say without seeing results of a launch monitor – dispersion, launch angle, etc.
Your swing speed is comparable to mine and I was wanting to close the face at impact as well. I personally found going to a higher torque coupled with a lighter shaft accommodated my swing quite well – and actually settled on the Fujikura ZCOM Six.
If you haven’t gotten fitted yet, I’d highly suggest it, you won’t be sorry.
I put this shaft in my G-10 and got at least 20 more yards out of it. Definitelt game improvement.
I put this shaft (75 S) in a Titleist D3 9.5°. I have a swing speed of 112 – 118 my launch angle is higher and so is the spin? I had this same shaft in a 9.5 HiBORE XLS Tour and the launch angle and spin were much lower? I guess I need to go to a 8.5°?
I had a r9 motore with a regular shaft and just bought the r9 supertri with the f1 TP in 65g stiff. after going on launch monitor i was getting about 20 additional yards carry with the stiff flex TP club.. my swing speed was 97-98 with the tp also vs 93-94 in the reg flex….
I had the Motore F1 65S put in a 10.5 Nakashima HTEC head. I tried other shafts side by side with the Motore. I found that I was able to go to the 65 gram version of the Motore and the clubface would close. The other shafts I tried, I had to go to the 75 gram to close the clubface. This is the straightest I have ever hit the driver. The tip on this shaft feels very lively yet extremely stable. I was told that the frequency was between 6.0 and 6.3 with a D3 swingweight. I immediately put the 75S in my 3-wood and again I am thrilled with it. Thank you Fujikura!

Hello there. I just bought a cobra zl 9.5 with a vodoo stiff staff shaft. This club looks fab. But it flies too high and feels too whippy . I have tried the motore f1 65 stiff . Looks fab but flies a little low for 100 mph swing . I also tried prolaunch red stiff. It seems to be more consistent . But I would like to try the motore f1 55 . Help
Recently ordered this shaft after hitting with it @ a demo day. the 65 gram stiff flex replacing a aldila nv 65 stiff. What a difference in ball flight and spin compared to the aldila. Much more boring and my back spin was reduced to around 2500 from 3000. If you are looking for a shaft that is a little more tip stiff this would be a great choice. My swing speed is 112 and am a 5 handicap for 18.
Hi
I play with an R9 460 and swing speed (when warmed up) is 90-93, it’s been professionaly cut to 43 inchs and swing weight adjusted accordingly. shaft is the stock aldila reax 65gram.
Struggling with it for 6 months now as i tend to hit a strong draw which is looking more and more like a low hook, set up is neutral and im just wondering if a better shaft might give me more consitancy? motore F3? anything else?
i hear the tip is soft on these shafts so any suggestions on another shaft to try? lessons on driving will also be looked at too.
Kind regards
I just got a Taylormade R-9 TriSpeed with a Motore 60gm shaft. It says nothing about being an F1 and it seems pretty whippy for a stiff to me. I have a Bridgestone J 38 fivewood with an F1 shaft (no weight listed) but it seems much stiffer to me. I’m not a fast swinger but I like a stiffer shaft and a little higher flex point to lessed my dreaded duck hook.
I WENT THROUGH CHEMO IN AUG, SEPT. & OCT. THEN SURGERY IN DEC. (PROSTATE & BLADDER REMOVED). SO I PICKED UP TWO R9s WITH SENIOR FLEX SHAFTS. I’M 67 AND HAVE LOST 15LBS AND MUCH STRENGTH THROUGH THIS ORDEAL. ON JAN.11 I TOOK THE R9 WITH THE MOTORE SHAFT AND 11* OUTSIDE THE HOUSE. AND GINGERLY HIT FOUR BALLS TOWARD THE LOVELY RIVER. I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THE BALLS NEARLY REACH THE OTHER SIDE. NO PAIN FROM THE SURGERY OR PROBLEM WITH THE UROSTOMY BAG. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK SIX BALLS OUT AND ALL WERE HIT WELL AND TWO CLEARED THE RIVER AND LANDED IN THE FIELD 235 YARDS AWAY. THIS SHAFT IS NOTICIBLY SUPERIOR TO THE REAX.
