Fujikura Golf’s most popular wood shaft model has been redesigned. The PRO series shafts are designed with playability and easy-to-fit characteristics. The new Pro 2.0 shafts give golfers 14% more torsional stiffness for better shot control and lower spin. The Pro 2.0 is built in two models and various configurations to match any player’s swing type and feel preferences. The Fujikura Pro 2.0 shafts deliver more effect loading and better energy transfer, which is perfect for players of all abilities and skill levels.

Key Features

The Pro 2.0 shaft features a longer loading zone for more efficient energy transfer and higher ball speeds.

40 Ton carbon fiber and a Phantium finish is used to give the Pro 2.0 shafts a stiffer tip and lower spin than previous models..

The mid and tip sections of the Pro 2.0 have been reinforced to give players less torque and enhanced control for more accuracy.

Design and Technology

The original Fujikura Pro shaft was one of the most popular wood shafts in Fujikura’s extensive history. The Pro 2.0 builds on the framework of prior generations and gives players a more playable profile and better performance. Improved loading zone dynamics and lower torque mean more energy and more stability built into drivers and fairway woods. Tour-Spec models will suit players with more aggressive tempos. The PRO series is Fujikura’s most expansive and can be built for players of all handicaps.

For my test, I put the Tour-Spec Fujikura Pro 2.0 driver shaft in a Callaway Epic Flash driver. I was hitting the 60X model. The Pro 2.0 features a higher balance point similar to the shaft that I play in my driver, so I am highly familiar with the feel of this shaft. The 2.0 shaft was an outstanding performer and I felt it was effortless to hit. I can see this shaft appealing to a wide variety of golfers and I understand why so many players have gravitated towards this offering. Every Fujikura shaft is made to the tightest tolerances and I believe the Pro 2.0 to be a great fit for the majority of amateur and weekend golfers.


The Fujikura Pro 2.0 differs from other premium shaft offerings in two significant features. This shaft is designed for more average golfers and does not require elite swing speeds to obtain its full performance. The price of the Pro 2.0 also makes it more accessible to casual golfers. Many drivers can be ordered with the Pro 2.0 at little upcharge and it can be bought second hand for very reasonable prices.

Our Experience

The Fujikura Pro shaft delivers a smooth, medium kick in the mid-tip section, providing a satisfying feel without compromising stability. We noticed the shaft loads easily and releases with a powerful kick through impact, resulting in consistent ball speeds and distances. The mid-launch and mid-to-low spin characteristics make it suitable for many players seeking to optimize their driver performance.


One of the standout features of the Fujikura Pro is its impressive stability, particularly in the tip section. This stability translates to improved accuracy and tighter dispersion, even on more aggressive swings. The shaft's design allows golfers to swing with confidence, knowing they can maintain control while still achieving desirable launch conditions.


The Fujikura Pro is available in various weights (ranging from 53 to 73 grams) and flexes (R2 to X), making it adaptable to different swing speeds and player preferences. This versatility contributes to its popularity among both amateur and professional golfers.


While performance is paramount, the Fujikura Pro doesn't disappoint in the looks department. The shaft features clean branding and minimal graphics, with a sleek design that many golfers find appealing.
