For many golfers, Fujikura golf shafts have become the go-to favorite for high performance. The Ventus series specifically is on pace to become one of Fujikura’s most successful models ever.
The Ventus Black is the lowest launching, most tip stiff version within the Ventus line and we put it to the test to see how much distance and forgiveness we could get using the Velocore technology.
Velocore is used in the Ventus Black shaft to create more stability and add forgiveness to drivers and fairway woods.
Ventus Black features a multi-material bias core that can increase velocity through impact and enhance the delivery efficiency for many golfers.
70 ton carbon fiber and 40 ton fibers are blended to create the ideal balance of stability and feel.
Ventus Black is packed with material advantages. Firstly, Velocore is used to increase the shaft’s stability during the golf swing to improve clubhead impact performance, especially on mishits.
Rather than using T1100 as most companies have, Fujikura created the Ventus Black with a combination approach of 70 ton and 40 ton pitch carbon fiber to enhance strength but retain a smoother feel. The result is a golf shaft with explosive performance that is easier to swing at all club head speeds.

It’s difficult to say definitively, but Velocore seems to be 100% making a difference in the overall forgiveness of my clubs and I’m sure many of you would find similar results.
