The most trusted long club shaft in golf now features Velocore+ for increased feel and speed
Fujikura, the leader in performance golf shafts, is proud to announce the all-new VENTUS shaft, available globally at charter dealers from February 29, 2024.
Featuring an enhanced technology platform combined with advanced design techniques, the new VENTUS is the ultimate evolution to one of the best-performing shafts in Fujikura’s history.
Following the unrivaled Tour success that began with VENTUS in 2018, the 2024 VENTUS is a mid-launch/low-spin wood shaft that has been re-engineered with updated materials and technology for improved feel, consistency, and speed for all golfers. VENTUS has been known as the most stable and consistent wood shaft in golf since its introduction, and this new VENTUS builds on that performance foundation.
VELOCORE, Fujikura’s ground-breaking shaft stability technology introduced in 2018 with VENTUS and subsequent products, including VENTUS TR and AXIOM iron shafts, helps deliver exceptional club stability through transition and impact. The technology promotes consistent center-face contact, tightening dispersion, and increasing control. Fujikura’s team of engineers has continued to innovate and developed an enhanced technology for the new 2024 VENTUS, VELOCORE+.
VELOCORE+ is the next generation of Fujikura’s ground-breaking proprietary technology. Featuring a re-engineered multi-material bias core, VELOCORE+ enhances the feel and performance of VENTUS with an additional premium bias core material, promoting even tighter dispersion and increased ball speeds. Focused on delivering increased speed, accuracy, and distance. Player testing with the new VENTUS shows noticeable increases in performance alongside the same unique feel-characteristics synonymous with the original VENTUS profile.
"VENTUS launched on global Tours in 2018 and has been the absolute standard in wood shaft performance ever since,” says Spencer Reynolds, Fujikura Product and Brand Manager. “With this iteration, we set out to improve the original model by incorporating the new material and technology advancements we've pioneered over the last six years. In player testing, we achieved our target launch and spin numbers consistent with the original VENTUS Blue but increased ball speeds and tightened dispersion, giving players enhanced performance in the areas that matter most. More speed, more distance, and improved accuracy.”
The all-new VENTUS will be available at retail from February 2024 through authorized Fujikura Charter Dealers and select OEM custom programs. With an MSRP of $350.00, VENTUS is available in a wide variety of weights and flexes, ranging from 52 grams to 94 grams and from R2 up to X-flex.
For over 25 years, Fujikura Composites America has been at the forefront of design and development, on a mission to produce the world’s best-performing golf shafts. The company strives to deliver enjoyment to golfers by crafting the most desirable products and offering the highest levels of service and support.
Using proprietary technology through design and construction, Fujikura shafts set an industry benchmark and are the go-to choice for many of the world’s leading players across all professional tours.
