I definitely picked up a few yards off of the tee due to a more penetrating ball flight (I typically hit the driver high) combined with lower spin. (I’m serious, you can choose to believe me or not…) That theme continued throughout my round. My first tee shot was a sky-high bomb that normally would’ve dropped out of the sky 30 yards shorter than a normal ball. While I wasn’t immediately sold on the feel of the Fujikura Ventus, I was definitely sold on the performance. Confidence + lower torque = more hits in the center of the club face. I always felt in control with the Ventus, which gave me much more confidence stepping up to the ball. Above all though, the shaft felt extremely stable. I had good awareness of the club head throughout the swing with the Ventus and I could actually feel the low torque preventing the club head from twisting. However, as I got used to it, I could definitely feel the shaft loading better. I won’t lie, the Ventus is designed for harder swingers and is pretty stiff. But, as the round went on, my thoughts came around. However, this first impression was largely based on variables mostly related to being drastically different than my gamer and the requisite adjustment period to a new shaft. My initial thoughts upon the first two or three swings with the Fujikura Ventus shaft was “boy this is stout.” I even shot ole Bill a text and said it felt surprisingly firm. Fujikura’s simple design is widely appealing and lets the actual performance do all the talking. Again, nothing flashy or screaming for attention. Towards the tip, it features the new VeloCore logo. The finish is a plain, glossy navy blue, with silver logos. Nothing flashy to see here, just pure performance. The Fujikura Ventus is a rather inconspicuous shaft from a looks perspective. But does it work as advertised? Let’s find out! The VeloCore design is an “accelerated taper with ultra-stiff tip profile” to lower both launch and spin. The new Fujikura Ventus is the latest shaft from Fujikura, engineered to “tighten shot dispersion and maximize ball speeds.” It is the first shaft from Fujikura to implement their new VeloCore Technology, a multi-material bias core construction.
