The Fujikura Ventus Black TR VeloCore bears the same relationship to the Ventus Black VeloCore without TR as do the Ventus Blue models. I wrote an extensive discussion of the TOW weave in the review of the Fujikura Ventus Blue TR so I will not repeat it here.

Fujikura Ventus Blue Velocore Driver Shaft Review

The Fujikura Ventus model introduced VeloCore last year. It took some time before I acquired a comprehensive array of the shafts to measure. The current count on their website is 40 models. It takes me 20 minutes to do a full set of measurements of a shaft. To measure the full matrix of 40 shafts is a few days work in the shop. This and the next few reviews cover representative samples of the Ventus VeloCore driver shafts.

Lets start with what Fujikura tells us on their website and then look at how that translates into what the measurements so us.

LA Golf Shafts G Series Driver Shaft Review

LA Golf Shafts G Series Driver Shaft Review

The LA Golf G series is now available in limited quantities.It is made on a 16 sided mandrel unlike the typical smooth mandrel. As you will hear in the video, Jeff Meyer blind tested the same materials in a smooth mandrel and the 12 sided mandrel with some of the top tour players. The feel of the 16 sided mandrel was universally prefered. He talks about some of the other technology in the shaft in this interview. Just recently, the 60-6 model arrived. Those that have tested the shaft have asked for a stiffer model.

If you want to see if a $1000 shaft works for you, schedule a fitting at the Highlands Performance Golf Center or with Fit2Score where we have the full line of LA Golf shafts in our fitting system.

Jeff Meyer and I discuss LA Golf shafts, puters and ball at the 2023 PGA Merchandise show in this video posted on my YouTube Channel, Devoted Golfer
