Fujikura Ventus Black Shaft Review

Fujikura established themselves as the leader in worldwide golf shaft research in design by installing their ENSO system. This 3D motion capture system allows engineers to precisely build shafts that complement elite players’ swings in real time. Using this data, they have designed Ventus to be the ultimate tool for the better player. At high driver swing speeds, the impact generates more energy and the golf shaft must be stable enough to perform optimally. The 70 Ton carbon fiber used in the Ventus shaft is 150% stronger than the next leading T1100g material used by other shaft models. More stability in the shaft means more stability in the clubhead. Ventus is promising better MOI for improved forgiveness, more ball speed from better energy transfer, and an extremely stable tip section without a boardy or harsh feel.

I tested the Ventus shaft in my Ping G400 Max driver at 45 inches in the 70g X-stiff model. During testing, Ventus was an outstanding performer. As a player who believes in the shaft’s influence over strike point and player comfort, I am always happy to see a product that delivers on its promises. I could feel the smoothness of 

Ventus even though I was playing an extra-stiff shaft. The firm tip section delivered on its promise to make my driver longer and I recorded faster ball speeds with the Ventus than I have with my gamer, the Tensei CK Pro Orange 70TX. Ventus also delivered on increasing dispersion. I saw my miss tolerance rise on poor swings.
Ventus has been engineered for the highest swinging players. Players that need a more stable shaft but do not enjoy the feeling of rigid or harsh extra-stiff offerings will love the feedback and feel of Ventus. Already gaining traction on Tour with some of the game’s best players, Ventus is a must try for any player looking to get the most performance from his or her golf swing.

The Fujikura Ventus Black is a high-performance shaft designed for players seeking a mid-launch, low-spin profile. It features a stable tip section that provides a penetrating ball flight and low spin rates off the tee.

The Ventus Black has a firm feel-through impact with a smooth, stable transition. It delivers a mid-launch angle that is suitable for a wide range of swing speeds and player types.

Compared to the Ventus Blue, the Black produces a slightly lower launch and spin. It has a firmer feel and more stability through impact. The Ventus Blue is better suited for players needing a higher launch and spin.

Overall, the Fujikura Ventus Black is an excellent choice for players looking to optimize launch conditions and maximize distance off the tee. Its stable design provides confidence and consistency from the tee box.
