2. What is your current location? Scottsdale, AZ
3. What are your current iron shafts? KBS C TAPER LITE

4. Have you ever considered graphite iron shafts? If no, why not? yes, accuracy and distance as the primary reason.  Even though steel shafts are what most play, I know graphite shafts have come a long way in regards to weight to feel similar to steel and dispersion.  I also am getting older and have a lot of joint issues, so something gentler like graphite is definitely intriguing.

5. Why would you like to visit the Fujikura and test Fujikura's newest products? It's Disneyland for a gear geek like myself. All my buddies swear by Velocore in their wood shafts. Would love to explore the benefits.

3. What are your current iron shafts? KBS Tour 130x

4. Have you ever considered graphite iron shafts? If no, why not? I’ve thought about going to graphite iron shafts to increase launch and spin, but during fittings the dispersion was too loose with the options available.

6. Are you available to to travel and be on site 5/30/2023 through 6/1/2023? I would have to find a sub for my Thursday night league, but ABSOLUTELY!

I have always been a fan of Fujikura and their products going back to HK Pro 95, Fubuki, Rombax, even the Cleveland Launcher Gold stock shaft. (Speeder 657 Boron is one of my all time favorites!) I would be interested in a professionals opinion on what gets me the best results. I would be able to compare them on the forums against the vast history of steel shafts I have used over my last 25yrs of golfing.

2. What is your current location? Huntsville, AL
3. What are your current iron shafts? DG 120 Stiff 

4. Have you ever considered graphite iron shafts? If no, why not? Only recently - Once my son was born, the amount of golf slightly decreased. I’ve made more equipment changes in the 1.5 years since than my first dozen plus years of playing.
 

Once I saw my ball striking suffering, I became more open minded to equipment changes and making the game as easy as possible. I’m at a point where I will not rule anything out and follow the results over what I “should be” playing. 

5. Why would you like to visit the Fujikura and test Fujikura's newest products? Been a fan of Fujikura ever since hitting the Atmos Blue in my 818 H1 Hybrid. It’s still arguably my favorite club in the bag. 
 

This love affair continued when I finally put a Ventus Blue Velocore 6s in my driver and woods over a year ago. Since then, I’ve experimented with the Velocore Red and Black TR Patriot Edition (current shaft).  

 

I’m always interested in their latest advances in technology and how it continues to help the professionals and amateurs alike improve their game. Admittedly, I would also love to test out the new Axiom shafts, seeing what the Velocore technology can produce in an iron shaft.

I fell in love with San Diego on my first visit, and I plan to move there later this year.

2. What is your current location? Durham, NC
3. What are your current iron shafts? Project X Rifle 6.0

4. Have you ever considered graphite iron shafts? If no, why not? Minimally. I feel like people want to play what the pros play and not very many of them play it in their irons. I got fit into my current shafts but would have liked to hit graphite just to see what the feel/trajectory would be. They’re also much more expensive vs steel. 

5. Why would you like to visit the Fujikura and test Fujikura's newest products? I enjoy tinkering and learning about what goes into each shaft/club specs. I currently play and have historically played some of the Fujikura wood shafts and would be interested in learning more about the new iron shafts and the new product lines in general.

5. Why would you like to visit the Fujikura and test Fujikura's newest products? Fujikura is a shaft leader and is always innovating with new materials. I am a recent convert to the Ventus wood shafts and am excited to see what graphite iron shafts with velocore can do!

5. Why would you like to visit the Fujikura and test Fujikura's newest products?  I play Velocore products in all of my driver/woods (Ventus Red TR, Ventus Blue TR and OG Ventus Red) and think it would be amazing to be fitted for the the Axiom shafts in my irons.

5. Why would you like to visit the Fujikura and test Fujikura's newest products? Would really love to see if I fit into a graphite iron shaft and what exactly the benefits may be. Already play Ventus in woods and it’s undeniably the best driver and fairway shaft I’ve ever played.
