Fujikura has bolstered its VENTUS TR collection with the launch of the new VENTUS TR Black and VENTUS TR Red. Developed with industry-leading VeloCore+ technology – the new models build on the success of the recently launched VENTUS TR Blue.
Engineered using the brand’s proprietary enso 3D motion capture testing technology, the new VENTUS TR Black and VENTUS TR Red are designed for golfers on opposite ends of the launch and spin spectrum – with the new VENTUS TR Blue slotting in between them in terms of offering a mid launch compared to mid/high (Red) and low (Black). As a result, Fujikura is now able to give more players across all levels and with different swing types the opportunity to benefit from the brand’s latest technology and expert shaft innovation.
The profiles build on the legacy of the first-generation VENTUS TR, which was originally introduced in 2022 to offer a key point of difference to the original VENTUS. The new construction pairs Fujikura’s cutting-edge Spread Tow material with its latest VeloCore+ material technology to deliver extra stability to help produce maximum consistency and improved energy transfer. This combination gives players more stability than ever before, especially those who tend to pull or load the shaft aggressively. Designed for aggressive swing tempos, the VENTUS TR line produces a lower launch and spin rate than the VENTUS line-up.
- VENTUS TR Red — Mid-to-high launch with added spin, ideal for golfers seeking more height and forgiveness.
- VENTUS TR Blue — Mid launch and low spin for balanced control.
- VENTUS TR Black — Low launch and low spin, designed for faster swing speeds and aggressive players who demand maximum stability.
This expanded range gives more golfers — from weekend players to Tour-level athletes — access to Fujikura’s latest innovations in feel, consistency, and performance.
The new VENTUS TR models evolve the original 2022 VENTUS TR design by combining proprietary Spread Tow carbon fabric with the latest VeloCore+ multi-material bias core. The result is significantly enhanced overall stability, smoother energy transfer, and improved resistance to twisting, particularly beneficial for players with aggressive loading or pulling tendencies.
Compared to the standard VENTUS lineup, the VENTUS TR family delivers a lower launch and reduced spin while retaining a responsive, connected feel that many golfers already love.
TJ Spidle, Product Manager at Fujikura, commented: “To elevate two such trusted profiles was always going to be a challenge, but our engineering team embraced it.
“After seeing the performance gains with the next-generation VENTUS TR Blue, we knew what was possible. Testing showed clear improvements: more consistent strike patterns, better centered contact, and gains in clubhead and ball speed for many players.
“We’ve preserved what golfers already appreciate about the Black and Red profiles while taking performance to the next level.”
The new VENTUS TR Black profile is stiffer in the mid section and very stiff in the tip and handle sections compared to the VENTUS TR Blue, and maintains its low launch and low spin for golfers who generate faster swing speeds.
Meanwhile, the new VENTUS TR Red profile is slightly softer in the mid and tip sections, delivering a mid-to-high launch with additional spin for golfers who struggle in both areas.
The new shafts will be available at retail starting April 20, 2026, through authorised Fujikura Global Charter Dealers and select OEM custom programs.
