Fujikura Speeder NX Gold

A Closer Look at the Fujikura Speeder NX Gold Shaft (Pre-Order Available for September 4th Release)

The world of golf equipment is constantly evolving, with manufacturers striving to deliver incremental performance gains. A new contender poised to make an impact is the Fujikura Speeder NX Gold shaft, set for release on Thursday, September 4, 2025. Building upon the successful “DNA” of the NX series, this latest iteration promises to elevate performance through innovative engineering, aiming for enhanced clubhead speed and a powerful, stable ball flight.

The Golden Ratio of Flex and Torque: A Smoother Energy Transfer

The Speeder NX Gold aims to build upon the reputation of its predecessor, the NX Green, which is recognized for its ability to generate high initial ball speed and a strong trajectory. A key innovation in the NX Gold is the incorporation of new DHX technology, designed to foster a more unified and smooth swing feel. By strategically reducing rigidity in the handle section, the shaft is intended to make it easier for the club to “lag” during the downswing. This phenomenon can contribute directly to an increase in clubhead speed. The overarching goal for this model is to achieve the highest initial ball speed and the strongest trajectory yet seen within the NX series.

Engineered for Elevated Performance: Key Innovations

The final installment in FootJoy’s legendary run of limited-edition Major-inspired golf shoes is here, and it may be the best of the bunch.

Inspired by the traditions of Royal Portrush Golf Club, the final entrant in the FootJoy Legend Series features two legendary Premiere Models: the Field and Packard, both dressed in handwoven Harris Tweed fabric.

Each pair comes with a custom shoe bag, made from the same fabric.

This ain’t your daddy’s wool. Harris Tweed’s fabric is governed by an act by the same name. As such, it MUST be handwoven in the Outer Hebrides (off the coast of Scotland). So when you get something with the legendary Harris Tweed insignia, you know it’s the real deal both in quality and craftsmanship.

If you’ve ever watched the Open Championship, you’ve seen it: a ball settles just off the green and instead of reaching for a wedge, a pro pulls the putter. Sometimes putting from off the green is the smartest play. The turf is tight, the wind is strong and the margin for error with a wedge is razor-thin.

While putting from off the green is often the safer play, it’s not as simple as treating it like any other putt. The lies are different. The pace is different. The terrain between your ball and the hole may not be predictable. You’ve got to learn how to do it properly.

Here are five things you need to know to pull off this shot with confidence.

Evaluate the lie, not just the distance

Before grabbing your putter, take a look at the lie. Is the ball sitting on tightly mown fringe, sitting down in a depression or nestled in dormant Bermuda? Even a great putter will struggle if the ball is buried or resting in an uneven patch.

Look for lies that are firm, flat and low-cut. If the ball is in a bare or tufted area, consider using a hybrid or a bump-and-run with an iron instead.

Your driver stance makes or breaks every tee shot. Get it wrong, and you’ll slice, hook and hit those embarrassing pop-ups that barely clear the tee box. Get it right, and you’ll start crushing drives down the fairway.

Most golfers think the stance is just where you put your feet. It’s actually four things working together: ball position, stance width, spine angle and alignment. Nail these basics and you’ll hit longer, straighter drives.

Ball position: Tee it forward

Put the ball just inside your left heel if you’re right-handed. This lets you hit up on the ball, which is how you get maximum distance.

Here’s where most golfers mess up: they play the ball too far back, like they’re hitting an iron. That makes you hit down on the ball, creating weak shots that go nowhere. When the ball is forward, your club naturally swings up into it.

Think of it this way: irons go down and through the ball. Your driver goes up and through it. Ball position makes this happen automatically.
