I have a Ping Anser in J Spec which states as SR. When the grip was removed, the label on the butt end states as R. I guess SR in J Spec is R in US Spec.

The R shaft in my R1 TM is definitely shifter than my Tourstage VIQ SR shaft. But different Brand so hard to say.

Would our more knowledgeable club-fitting bros here like to share their views.

Different manufacturers will have different measurement of stiffness... may be their material used and manufacturing process differs, can't really compare Brand A to Brand B even if it is R.

Usually US specs are stiffer than Asian specs.
