Carlsbad, California. (August 20, 2019) – Fujikura, the leader in performance golf shafts, is proud to launch two new additional profiles to the successful Ventus line. The new Ventus Red and Ventus Black are designed with cutting edge, premium materials and will significantly tighten shot dispersion and maximize ball speed – especially on off-center shots. The complete lineup of Ventus (Red, Blue, Black) shafts include Fujikura’s VeloCore Technology, developed to boost the clubhead’s performance through maximum energy transfer combined with an accelerated taper design that enhances loading and feel.

“When we saw the adoption rate and performance improvements with VeloCore in the Blue Ventus, we knew we had a winner,” said Pat McCoy Director of Tour Operations. “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.”

Adding Ventus Red and Ventus Black to the successful Fujikura Ventus line was 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 more launch and spin than the current profile of Ventus Blue. Ventus Red has a softer tip section than the current Ventus to achieve more launch. It is designated by a gloss red paint finish to be consistent with our color-coded launch system akin to ATMOS Tour Spec, red being the highest launching of the profiles. The Ventus Black is painted in a black finish and is designed to be lower launching and lower spinning than Ventus Blue. Ventus Black is an extremely stout profile, stiffer in the butt section and especially in the tip section compared to the original Ventus Blue profile.

• Ventus (red) provides golfers with a mid-high launch option with mid spin for more carry distance
• Ventus (blue) 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

About Ventus: 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. Ventus is powered by VeloCore Technology which promotes consistent center-face impact and provides ultimate stability, tightening dispersion and increasing control. The result is a shaft that maximizes the MOI (moment of inertia) and ball speed of your clubhead through the reduction of twist during the swing and at impact, especially on off-center hits.

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 MSRP and are available exclusively at 600+ authorized Fujikura Charter Dealers starting September 3, 2019.
