Why does it seem like every PGA player is using a fujikura ventus shafts?

Similar to my experience but so far I've only made the plunge with the driver.  Was playing a TSi3 9* at 46" with a AD DI 6x tipped 1" - then moved over to the Ventus Black 6x (same length, but no tipping).  Really saw an improvement in dispursion - now going to tip it 0.5" and see how it plays at 45.5".

The DI was my gamer for a long time.  When I hit it right, it would go.  When I hit it wrong it would curve off the planet.  Not finding that with the Ventus Black.  Dare I say it's the best shaft for my swing I've come across and believe me when I say that I've gamed and tested a lot of shafts over the years.  Only other shaft I really liked from Fuji that I gamed for a year was the Speeder Tour Spec 7.2.  Another low/low shaft that was very stable for me.

Got blue 6s from another wrxer. I don't see much different ball flight from my old shaft (im10 6.0). However, my swing feels easier and I'm sticking with it.

 

[Honestly, as a wrxer, I had to try it and wanted to stick with it... Perhaps, there gotta be a better shaft for me but I don't care until the next hot shaft comes out]

This is my experience with the Ventus Black, as someone who also played the DI for a long stretch of time

My only gripe with the ventus black is 6x is 65g and the 7x is 78g that’s so huge of a gap.  I love the VB but my 6x feels to light once I get my driver swing weight to D4 and the 7x feels to heavy also at D4 we need a low 70’s gram VB 

 

I agree with this. Had the Ventus Black 7X in driver and while it's a good fit, it's a little too much weight for a driver shaft for me. Have since cut it down to give it a run in my 3 wood. At this point I still prefer GD Tour AD shafts over Ventus. 

 

I did the same as you guys.  Started with the Black 7x in my driver but felt like I really had to work at it to get it to move.  Dropped down to a 6x and loving the results.  Wanted to find an 8x for my 4 wood but never could so stuck the 7x in there.  So far it seems like its working
