Fujikura Ventus Blue VeloCore+ (2024 edition)

[eric61]

EDIT ON JUNE 5, 2024: Since we know exactly what this is and a lot of people are already playing it, I'm editing the title of this thread so that it's easier to find if people are searching for details on this shaft.

I just saw this posted on their Twitter and Instagram accounts. Anybody know more details? @Fujikura Golf anything you all can tell us early?

lol I doubt they'll say anything before 1/23

 

If I had to guess, Ventus 2.0?

This is getting out of hand, now there's seven of them. 

[Radeon962]

Should be interesting to hear the spin as to how they improved the VeloCore lineup, if this is indeed a replacement rather than an addition. 
 

Why not… the club makers come out with “new and improved” every year.

I'm gonna guess a Ventus for slow swing speeds or 'ultralight' like the Vanquish line. There really is nothing in the current line for 85MPH and under and/or people who want to do the 40g X flex or 40g R2 type flex stuff. I think 5R2 is the lowest the Ventus Red currently goes?

I just bought a Ventus Red 5R2 for my dad.  Really hoping it's a lightweight option for mortals.  

[eric61]

Something lighter weight would make sense. Also wondered if it might be a counterbalanced option, or a higher-launching hybrid shaft.

[DFS PFD]

Looks like Ventus light blue. Extreme stability for slow swing speeds!

It's the year 2030 and Fujikura is talking about all their Ventus models like....

Ventus Baby Blue

[klineka]

Not a big fan of that color personally.

[jvtphigolf]

A light swingweight option would be cool, ventus light blue lol

 

I’ve always speculated about a Ventus Orange or Ventus Yellow counterbalanced option since there’s a bunch of CB Proto shafts floating around, I have to believe they’re working on it

[QuigleyDU]

TR hybrid is my guess

I am with this….

[ajbillings]

On Fuji’s instagram they had Good Good in their story..looked like someone was hitting the light blue shaft in a Callaway fairway wood.

 

Not thinking it’s the Axiom wedge shaft as I emailed Fuji asking about it and was told that it’s on their roadmap but not coming out any time real soon. CB/High balance point Ventus would be awesome (though TR Red has worked well in heavier heads for me) and I’d totally be on board with TR Hybrid..but after seeing their Instagram story I have a feeling it’s a Good Good color/limited release. Hope I’m wrong

[ajbillings]

Its gotta be a limited Good Good color after doing a little more digging..checked the Good Good instagram story posted a few hours ago and they mentioned doing a collab with Fujikura just like they did with Callaway

That's dissapointing. These manufacturer collabs are getting a little tired.

If that's the case I'm abandoning my idea of moving back into a ventus driver shaft.

Why? Because I'm petty.

I do like how mitsubishi are very boring with their marketing and collabs.

I hope it’s the new Ventus with anti-shoulder slamming technology.

Dang…. This would be a disappointment.  My vote would be for a TR Hybrid shaft.

"Ventus Air" was definitely my guess based on the color.

I'd love to see Ventus Crystal

[pdaero]

I'm thinking either a lightweight Ventus (like an Air Ventus a la Speeder), or Ventus CB (counterbalanced) - if the butt of the shaft fades to black for the stiffer TR series, and it's lighter here - it could be a softer butt.

[Hack Nicklaus]

highly doubt it's a Good Good collab, Ian Fraser was testing one in the bay recently and can't see him testing it if it's simply a branding colour change

What am I missing with good good? Besides the Callaway sponsorship and clothing brand? Just starting watching, Brad and Garrett videos.  I enjoy watching their swings.

Not sure if it's this one, but heard there may be a non velocore TR version coming...
