APPLY NOW: Fujikura Ventus HB Shaft Testing!

[knudson81]

 

Here it is, the one A LOT of you have been waiting for! Fujikura and GolfWRX are looking for 6 members, 3 hybrid testers and 3 utility/driving iron testers, to test and review the new Ventus HB hybrid shaft! Each tester will get a Ventus HB hybrid shaft of their desired weight and flex to test and review for the community. If you are elected as a tester, Fujikura will send you a box and shipping label to send to their HQ for installation or the shaft will be sent to your preferred local authorized dealer for installation.

 

About Ventus HB

The all-new Ventus HB utilizes the revolutionary benefits of Fujikura’s proprietary VeloCore Technology into an ultra-stable, forgiving, high-performance hybrid shaft. Ventus HB was developed to maximize the versatility and forgiveness of today’s hybrids & utility clubs through a low-torque, ultra-stiff tip hybrid that’s supported by the velocity and stability of Fujikura’s proprietary VeloCore Technology. The full-length low-torque and ultra-stiff tip serve as a stability mechanism through the turf and at impact, providing consistent distances and tightening dispersion, bringing shots closer to your target.

This would be awesome for me because I play both a hybrid and a driving iron!!

 

handicap-7

hybrid is a SIM Max 19° with VA shafts Slay Stiff and driving iron is a HMB 2 iron with KBS prototype 85X

Club Champion WILLOWBROOK

either the SIM or HMB, most likely the SIM, I am very happy with my HMB and I think it would be very hard to improve upon it.

8x Ventus blue. Very comparable weight to what I use now

and I do agree to post an honest review and pictures. 
thank you for the opportunity
