5. Why do you want to test Fujikura's newest line of Ventus TR shafts?

Had the opportunity to spend a great deal of time hitting & fitting the Ventus line, the results & product saturation in the marketplace and on tour was truly incredible. Comparing and contrasting the new additions to the ventus line would be a lot of fun!

How To Apply
1. Hurricane, WV

2. 5.3 Handicap
3. TaylorMade Stealth with Diamana ZF in TX
4. Ventus Black in X Stiff  
5. Was playing a Ventus Blue previously and switched out to the ZF. Would really like to give the TR a test alongside to see if it can get back in the bag. I like the idea / Profile of the TR better than the original based on profile description. 
6. Absolutely! I think the experience/fun of hitting new shafts and clubs is extremely exciting and fun to share. For us tech junkies this is what excites us about golf and being able to tinker with our setups and dive in on the tech.

1. Hartselle, AL - Burningtree CC

2. 4.8

3. Callaway Rogue TD LS, 9* @ -1/N, Fujikura Atmos Black TS 7X, 45”

4. Ventus TR Black 7X 

5. Played Fujikura shafts almost exclusively in my woods for nearly 15 years. OG Speeder 757 TS stayed in my bag for a LONG time… still have two do them. Then various head combos with the Motore Speeder VC 7.2 TS, Speeder Evo IV 757, and currently the Atmos Black TS. Tested the original Ventus Black/Blue 6X/7X against my current setup and decided to stick with the Atmos. Slightly better numbers with the Ventus, but I couldn't justify the upgrade at the time. Would liked to have had more time with the Black 6X and 7X though. I’ve always felt better in a 70-80g shaft and I was surprised by the 6X, but never got it on the course. 
6. Sure! Of course! Absolutely!

5. Why do you want to test Fujikura's newest line of Ventus TR shafts?

-I have been playing the Ad Di for 8 years and haven’t found anything that will top it. I used to play fujikura green speeder.  Would love to find that same stability but with the forgiveness of my current shaft.

1. Scottsdale, AZ 

2. 8 

3. Ventus Blue 7x straight in @ 45.5 inches in Callaway Epic Max LS 9 degree played @ 8 degrees with Midsize MCC +4 Grip

4. (1)Ventus Black TR 5x straight in at 45.5" (2) Ventus Black TR 6S straight in @ 45.5 (3) Ventus Red TR 6x

5. I've had a "Ventus addiction" the past 2 years but my Ventus "hoeing" has been cut off as the wife and I just bought a house. If I want to keep my wife this is my only chance to own a Ventus TR. To date I've owned every Ventus Velocore profile in many flexes (5x, 6s, 6x, 6tx, 7s, 8s, and 8x (including Blue TR and Blue HB). Selling my Ventus Black 5x is my biggest "shaft" regret, just felt a little too loose so a TR version maybe my unicorn!  I played a Ventus Black 6x the longest of all but just felt it required everything I had and the 6s was to loose so a Ventus Black TR 6s could be the ONE. Last but not least the Ventus Red 6x I had, may of been, the funnest to hit but I could lose it left.

6. Yes, yes, and yes!

6. Absolutely, I played D1 and pro level before. I can provide in-depth reviews and details with my experience
