When golfers talk about stability in their drivers, they usually think about how the head is designed to compensate for off-center hits by not twisting too much. The less the face twists when a ball is struck near the heel or toe, the straighter the shot will fly. But with the release of the Fujikura Ventus Black, Blue and Red shafts a few years ago, the Carlsbad, California-based shaft company was able to bring more stability and consistency to golfers of every level thanks to the shaft they use.
Now, with the release of the Ventus TR, Fujikura is using a new technology to expand the Ventus family and provide fitters with another option that could help golfers’ performance off the tee.
To be clear, none of the previously released Ventus shafts are going away, and why would Fujikura want to do that? If you counted up all the drivers, fairway woods and hybrids in play at the 2022 Farmers Insurance Open on the PGA Tour, more than 19 percent were fitted with a Fujikura Ventus shaft. Among the stars using a Ventus are Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy, Sam Burns, Aaron Wise, Max Homa and Billy Horschel.
