Fujikura Ventus TR Blue Fairway Shaft Review

Fujikura Ventus TR Blue FW Driver Shafts Review

There are so many versions of the Fujikura Ventus shafts it is exceedingly difficult to sort them out. What I have noticed with this shaft is the TR logo is on a silver background. Most TR logos are against a gold background. This chart is a comparison of the 6S shaft’s hoop deformation of the silver TR and the gold TR. The original woven carbon which Fujikura calls TOW creates a significant reduction of hoop deformation and an increase in strength of the shaft where it is applied. The silver background TR does not and one can only assume it is a marketing graphic only. These shafts do not contain the same weave applied in the premium versions of the Ventus TR shafts.

The Mitsubishi Tensei AV Limited Shaft is available as a stock shaft in the 2024 TaylorMade Oi10 Drivers and Fairways. While most of my reviews are for premium shafts, many want to know about the standard shafts in off the rack drivers. There are three versions of the shaft, Blue, Fairway and White. The each is modeled on the classic Mitsubishi archetypes.
