RETURN COSTS & RESTOCKING FEE (ASSEMBLED ITEMS)
🚫 No Returns or Refunds on Assembled Shafts
Please note that all assembled shaft orders are final. Due to the custom nature of this process, we do not accept returns or offer refunds on any assembled shafts. Each order is built to your specifications, and once assembly begins, we are unable to restock or resell the components.
We encourage you to double-check all specs (flex, length, grip, adapter, etc.) before placing your order. If you need help confirming details, our team is happy to assist before you check out.
Returns can be made on non-personalized items and non-assembled items within the US, 60 days after you've received the original order. Items are only accepted on unopened and unused products. Items must be returned in the original packaging.
INTERNATIONAL RETURNS
We do not accept any international returns at this time.
At Grips4less, we strive to provide a smooth international shopping experience. To ensure clarity regarding shipping, duties, and returns, please review our policy below:

Fujikura Speeder NX Blue Driver & Fairway Shaft
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The Fujikura Speeder NX Blue is the original Speeder NX profile: mid-high launch in every weight, with spin that comes down as you move up in weight, from mid-high in the 40 series to low-mid in the 60 and 70. The twisting stiffness is tuned section by section along the shaft, so it loads like a Speeder without feeling loose. This is the raw shaft: 46" uncut, 3.0" parallel tip, 0.335" tip diameter, in 8 weight and flex options from a 40 R at 47 g to a 70 X at 74.5 g. If you build your own clubs or have a shop you trust, this is the listing you want.
Not sure NX Blue is your profile? Take the 2-Minute Shaft Quiz or compare every Fujikura model in The Fujikura Shaft Guide.
This is the earlier Speeder NX profile
- What's current. Fujikura's Speeder NX lineup today is the NX Violet and the NX Gold. The NX Blue is the generation before them, and it's no longer on Fujikura's current spec chart. The specs below are the ones we've published for it since we started stocking it.
- What changed. The NX Violet keeps a bend profile similar to this one and tightens torque about 10% in the tip and butt, with R2 through X in every weight. The NX Gold stiffens the mid section for a mid launch and less spin.
- Why you'd still buy this one. You already play an NX Blue and want a second one, a fairway version or a spare built the same way. If you're starting fresh, start with the Violet.
Who It's For
Good fit if you...
- Want a mid-high flight from a light shaft, and want to bring spin down by going heavier rather than stiffer
- Already play an NX Blue and want a spare, a fairway version or a second driver built the same way
- Like a shaft that loads smoothly through the middle instead of fighting you through transition
- Build your own clubs or have a fitter who'll cut, tip and install it for you
Not the right fit if you...
- Want a lower, flatter flight with less spin. The NX Gold stiffens the mid section and is rated mid launch and low-mid spin from the 50 series up
- Want the current version of this profile, or a flex we don't stock here. The NX Violet runs R2 through X in every weight
- Need something lighter than 47 g for a slower swing. The Air Speeder runs 40.5 to 48 g with a high launch rating
- Want it cut to length with the adapter and grip already on, ready to screw into your driver. Order the assembled NX Blue instead
How It Plays
Mid-high launch, and the weight sets the spin. Every NX Blue option is rated mid-high launch. What changes as you go up in weight is spin and bend point: the 40 series has a low bend point with mid-high spin, the 50 moves to a mid bend point and mid spin, and the 60 and 70 hold the mid bend point and drop to low-mid spin. Torque follows the same path, from 5.4 in the 40 to 2.9 in the 70. So if you like the flight but want the ball to stop climbing, go heavier before you go stiffer.
Torque tuned along the shaft, not one number end to end. Variable Torque Core is the build behind every Speeder NX, and it means what it sounds like: the twisting stiffness of the core is tuned differently in different sections of the shaft instead of being set once for the whole thing. You won't see it on the chart, which only lists one torque number for each weight; the tuning is in the layup. In your hands it's a Speeder that still loads through the middle without the loose, whippy feel a lighter shaft can have.
Where it sits in the family. The NX Violet is the current version of this profile: a similar bend profile with torque about 10% tighter in the tip and butt, and the same launch and spin ratings weight for weight. The NX Gold is the current flatter option: a stiffened mid section, rated mid launch and low-mid spin in the 50 and 60 series and low-mid launch with low spin in the 70. Of the four, the Blue and Violet are the two that launch mid-high in every weight.
Picking a weight and flex, and what to tip
- Weight before flex. The 40 series is 47 to 50 g, the 50 is 54.5 to 56, the 60 is 62 to 65 and the 70 X is 74.5. If your current driver shaft is in the 60s, start with the 60 S or 60 X. When you want more stability, go up a series before you go up a flex. The heavier shaft calms the head without making the whole club feel stiff.
- Check that your combination is on the list. This is an earlier generation, so we stock 8 options: R and S in the 40, S and X in the 50, SR, S and X in the 60, and X only in the 70. If the weight and flex you want isn't here, the NX Violet has R2 through X in every weight.
- Tip trimming. Fujikura's chart is 0" for a driver or 3 wood, 0.5" for a 5 wood, 1.0" for a 7 wood and 1.5" for a 9 wood, and every inch you tip is roughly one flex stiffer. The chart is a set of suggestions, and it doesn't call for tipping a driver or 3 wood shaft. Want to sit between S and X in a 5 wood? Tip 0.5" and butt trim to length.
- Adjustable hosel? You'll need an adapter. The 0.335" tip fits every current driver and fairway adapter. Pick one up from our shaft adapters, or let us install it for you on the assembled version.

Launch, spin, bend point and torque are Fujikura's ratings, shown by weight series. The NX Gold and NX Violet rows come from Fujikura's current chart. The NX Blue and NX Green are earlier generations that aren't on that chart, so their rows are carried from our earlier listings. Fujikura doesn't publish a swing speed range for Speeder NX. The whole brand lineup is in The Fujikura Shaft Guide.
