Graphite shafts are still associated almost exclusively with drivers, fairway woods and hybrids by most recreational golfers, but graphite shafts for irons have been available for decades. The lingering stigma clinging to graphite iron shafts remains that for only slow-swinging golfers who need something light, but with the release of the Axiom graphite iron shaft, Fujikura is bringing one of its most-popular wood technologies to the iron category and making it available across a broad spectrum of weights and bend profiles.
Stars like Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler and Jordan Spieth currently use Fujikura’s Ventus wood shafts in their drivers, and VeloCore is a critical technology in those shafts. VeloCore includes different types of carbon material that are layered in specific directions to increase the stability of the shaft as it transitions from your backswing to your downswing and through impact.
