At a Club Champion location in Sandy Springs Georgia, a random golfer gained distance and dispersion with Fujikura Ventus
In a spontaneous street-side challenge, popular golf personality Mr. Short Game surprised a random golfer named Casey with a unique offer outside the Club Champion fitting studio. If Casey could find ten more yards off the tee, he’d earn a $1,000 bonus for new gear, courtesy of Mr. Short Game’s friends at AmateurGolf.com.
Curious and up for the challenge, Casey joined Mr. Short Game inside Club Champion. After a quick rundown of his swing and a few test shots, the fitting experts got to work. Sam, the fitter at Club Champion, wasn’t content with just a small increase; he tried a variety of club and shaft combinations, aiming to unlock Casey’s full distance potential.
The goal wasn’t just to add yards but also to tighten Casey’s shot pattern so he’d hit more fairways and avoid the dreaded “big miss” to the right. And while Casey was already playing a Tour-proven Fujikura Ventus shaft, the Fujikura model he got fitted for had a different flex and weight profile that helped him feel confident in swinging hard through the ball.
After several rounds of adjustments, Casey’s drive gained an impressive eleven extra yards, with far better accuracy down the target line. Thanks to the expert fitting, he left with a refined setup—and a $1,000 bonus—showing how even the smallest tweaks can make a big impact. Watch the full video below to see how Mr. Short Game, Club Champion, and AmateurGolf.com made it happen!
