They've made the blue bluer, unsure how they'll make the black blacker

Maybe it'll be Vantablack 🤣

I would like to see a black/nardogrey transition

Bleh, Feb 29th? Will have to wait to go in my second driver purchase of the year then...

 

Just release it already, you know you have thousands just sitting around. Just like the argument that more SKU's means you might capture someone new, the longer it's available, the more you sell 😂

Velocore + is just lame, typical though.

Can't wait for Velocore ++

noticed they added a 5-X to the chart.

Maybe we're looking at a line-up of ventus sky, Ventus charcoal, and Ventus ruby

Hope they make the red velocore + an orange or orangey red 

[Hack Nicklaus]

Ventus is so successful they don't need to try re-invent the wheel especially with TR filling in the gaps, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

 

It's been 5-6 years since the OG launch and so a tune up of the already great tech is a good move.

[ck800]

So many haters in here that would buy a new driver today if their favorite OEM made something in a fancy limited color.

 

I’m willing to give Fujikura the benefit of the doubt, it’s been 6 years since the OG release

I might have to try this. We have a fund at work I can use for "wellness" which includes sports equipment to stay healthy, last year I used it to get a nice scotty x 5.5, this year I think might be new driver year. I was planning on keeping my current GD VF 6X, but I might have to test this with my additional "sports" funds.

I’ll apply to your company just for that perk

I work as a radiology resident so it might take a bit of time 😅

So faster with tighter dispersion from the fuji rep on the youtube video. I would have liked to see avg. Total Numbers vs the two best shots from the og and +. 

[Pens #1 fan]

I just thought about while seeing another thread with another post about how the name is lame. Do people complain this much Toyota comes out a New Camry, not Camry + or Camry AI, just Camry for the last 41 years

I’m definitely ordering two of these — one for driver, one for 3W. Any tips on which authorized dealers typically get shafts out quickest at launch? Probably going to go with @Peoples Golf as usual!

did they take the best shot from each shaft and try to call it a comparison?  i want to see the dispersion for all shot with both shafts LOL

If its a Good Good collab, I'm out 

Very glad to see we have a Velocore + instead of a some good good easter egg.

 

I think I'll call it "Air Ventus" as was suggested earlier in this thread

[LeftDash14]

From that review I gain zero trust of a “ballspeed” gain even tho the shot selection shows what 2.2mph for 3yards of carry? Legit the same numbers & ball speed would average out over time. I need to see some more reviews to consider paying for this for purely performance vs my og blue. 
 

Looks cool and shiny tho.

Fully agreed. Need more data and people to test it out. 

[mliedtke02]

This would be typically aimed at someone in a blue profile that doesn't currently play a Blue.  I don't know how this is really going to make any big enough jumps to notice a legit difference between the who, likely wont.

 

But this isn't about that.  It's about they know golf nuts will buy it (We Will) regardless, and then just have the new crowd go straight into this instead of OG.

[Avidswampthing66]

We are talking about a refresh of arguably the most successful and best selling shaft in history.  If they can eke out a few more yards and keep it virtually the same everywhere else then kudos to @Fujikura Golf.  Another successful line; Tensei White, AV Raw White, Pro White, Tensei 1K White, are all slightly different and as the materials and manufacturing improved so did the shaft.  Not many Pro Whites are gamed these days, bc 1K felt that much better.  Hoping this release proves to be similar.

 

 I wonder when the other 2 will drop and if they will eventually stop producing the OG line.

[Trippels]

Revision to current model(s) without a price hike, which means there's a chance the originals might get cleared at a discount.

I don't see a problem.

When you get them, let me know how it is vs your TR. I’m really liking my TR but if I can get more ball speed but keep feel the same yet tighten dispersion even more I’m all in!

All time across the board or woods only? If across the board TT Dynamic Gold would like a word. 🙂

I find it a little weird that True Spec or Fuji wanted to roll out that review video. Watching that guy spray it all over the yard with 2700+ spin didn't get me excited. The ball speed gain is worthless without seeing if the clubhead speed was constant.

Yea and the rep said I don't want to compare numbers because everyone is different. Just let me know how it feels... lol

[Veebee3]

Plus if you zoom in the dispersion circle was tighter for the OG blue lol.
