Fujikura has been on a roll in 2019 with the Ventus shaft series, including multiple wins on the PGA Tour. What started off as one shaft is now officially three profiles with the introduction on the Fujikura Ventus Red and the Fujikura Ventus Black shafts.

We speculated on these when they first arrived on tour for testing (WRX SPOTTED: Fujikura Ventus Black, WRX SPOTTED: Fujikura Ventus Red), and now we have all the official details regarding their arrival at retail.

Fujukira Ventus Red, Fujikura Ventus Black: Details

Just like with the original Blue, the new Ventus Red and Ventus Black profiles are designed to help tighten shot dispersion and maximize ball speed off the driver and fairway woods–especially on off-center shots. What makes the Ventus line unique is Fujikura’s VeloCore Technology, which was developed to boost the clubhead’s performance by maximizing energy transfer combined with an accelerated taper design that enhances the loading of the shaft and player’s feel.

“Like with ATMOS Tour Spec, we expanded the line of Ventus to provide players and fitters with three different profile options to really fine tune their performance numbers. As we know one size does not fit all with clothing or golf shafts, so we wanted to offer more than just one profile of Ventus. These days, players are looking to hit ultra-precise spin and launch numbers, sometimes within 100 rpm of their target. Having multiple profiles allows us to accomplish this.” Pat McCoy Director of Tour Operations.

The Ventus line extension is a direct result of tour players looking for the same stability and accuracy that they’ve experienced with Ventus Blue but in a launch/spin profile they require based on their swing characteristics.

The Ventus Red is designed to achieve slightly higher launch and spin than the current profile of Ventus Blue—which can be both helpful in the driver and fairway woods.

On the other hand, the Ventus Black is an extremely stout profile designed for more aggressive players with a stiffer profile in the butt section and especially in the tip section compared to the original Ventus Blue profile.

The color-coded shafts line up to similar launch characteristics of other Fujikura products including the Atmos line:

Ventus Red provides golfers with a mid-high launch option with mid-spin for more carry distance
Ventus Blue (Original) delivers a mid-launch with low spin
Ventus Black produces a low launch with low spin for golfers who need a more penetrating ball flight

Fujikura Ventus: What the manufacturer says

“Ventus has an entirely new and proprietary multi-material bias core construction that delivers ultimate stability through transition and impact called VeloCore. The multi-material core is comprised of ultra- high modulus Pitch 70 Ton Carbon Fiber and 40 Ton bias layers that are the full length of the shaft for incredible stability. In addition to VeloCore Technology, Ventus is engineered with an ultra-stiff tip section – to reduce twist and lower spin – and an accelerated taper butt section maximizes energy transfer through the swing – enhancing feel and shaft loading. The result is an extremely stable, high-performance shaft designed to empower your driver or fairway wood.”

The Ventus line is available in a wide variety of weights in flexes ranging from 57 grams to 86 grams and R2 up to X flex. The shafts retail for $350 and are available exclusively at authorized Fujikura Charter Dealers starting September 3, 2019 (today) (Full specs at Fujikura.com)

TaylorMade MySpider Tour and Tour X: More customizable build options now available

TaylorMade Golf’s MySpider program underwent a substantial overhaul over the last month. Firstly, the company launched the option to customize the Spider ZT model, and now the program has returned with the MySpider Tour and MySpider Tour X.

The revamped page now gives golfers complete control over every visual and functional detail of their putter on the popular Tour and Tour X head, with every cosmetic idea thought of. In MySpider Tour, golfers can choose from four head finishes, 16 paint fill colors, nine Surlyn face insert colors, three aluminum insert options, six sightline configurations, and four hosel options — L-neck, small slant, double bend, center shaft. Six sightline options are available in MySpider Tour, including the optically engineered True Path alignment system. MySpider Tour X gives builders the option of four head finishes, four hosel configurations, and five sightline options, also including True Path alignment.

One of the more interesting features of the new MySpider program is the availability of three distinct face insert options. Along with the usual Surlyn Pure Roll insert trusted by Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, which can be customized from nine colors, golfers can now also select firmer options. Two are offered with the black aluminum Pure Roll insert, slightly firmer than the traditional insert, or for the firmest feel, golfers can choose from two colors of milled aluminum inserts.

Another fun addition to the MySpider Tour is the ability to use the “Tommy Sightline.” The custom alignment aid design, which was first drawn onto Tommy Fleetwood’s putter by PGA Tour Rep James Holley, is based on the milled sightline on his Spider ZT head. There are five shorter lines on the left and right of a longer central line serving as the traditional short line alignment aid.
