Fujikura launches new Pro 2.0 and Pro 2.0 Tour Spec shafts

Published

on

Fujikura has announced the launch of the second generation of its Pro series shafts: the Pro 2.0.

The first iteration of the Pro shafts were designed with a soft handle section to aid in loading. The Pro 2.0 presents an even more effective loading zone, according to the company, which also says torsional stiffness is 14 percent greater in the 2.0.

“Like all of our shafts, the Pro 2.0 has been designed utilizing enso, a 3D motion-capture technology that no one else in the shaft industry has,” said Alex Dee, Vice President at Fujikura Composites America.

“This technology and advanced data analytics has allowed us to crack the code on how club performance and ball flight are affected by shaft characteristics and swing type. When we compared to the original Pro, we saw the 2.0 was significantly easier to swing, had tighter shot dispersion, and lower spin to deliver the club head with more power, control and distance. We were thrilled with the result.”

The Pro 2.0 is painted “Destroyer Grey” with a metallic blue design in line with the original Pro shaft. The Tour Spec model is painted “Tour Spec White.”

The shafts will be available in weight ranges from 57 to 87 grams (5, 6, 7, 8) and in flexes starting at R2 up to X. $225 MSRP; $250 for the Tour Spec model. Hybrid option available for $140.

Available at over 600 qualified Fujikura charter dealers beginning February 1. Full specs at Fujikura.com.

    If these shafts are 100 grams…I’ll eat my shorts. Nobody uses a 100 gram shaft in a driver, Kurt.

      100 gram driver shafts were common in the 1990s and were branded as “tour” shafts. The lightweight shafts were for recreational golfers who bought the lie that lighter is faster. So start eating your shorts because stock graphite shafts are not in tour pro drivers… believe it.

        You are wrong, Kurtis.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if the tour edition shafts were made over 100 grams specially for the high speed hard hitting pros… and branded as 85 grams.
    The problem with graphite shafts is their floppy soggy erratic tip sections that don’t recover fast enough for the whipsnap action through impact. Epoxy is a plastic and doesn’t have the same dynamic properties as steel.
    Gearheads are sold on “light weight” for a faster swing and they believe it. Gullibility!

      Just spotted this Aerotech Steelfiber ad in the sidebar, which proves my point about steel shafts:
      https://aerotechgolfshafts.com/
      The steel fibers give the shafts the tip stability when flexing in final release…. when the shaft is twisting and drooping. No wonder the tour pros are playing these shafts; they have steel characteristics and a graphite supporting tube …. 😀

        Thank you Kurt. You are correct about the instability of all graphite shaft tip sections. Gearhead hackers only love the pretty graphics on their floppy soggy shafts because their swing speeds are so loooow … lol

From the Forums: I need more forgiveness in my irons – Looking for recommendations

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing the most forgiving irons currently on the market. WRXer ‘TheShark1’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons, saying:

“Currently gaming the Mizuno Pro 225’s but think I need more forgiveness in my irons. My well struck shots are real nice, but my mishits are not performing as good as I had hoped anymore. I really like hollow body irons so if I could find something more forgiving in a hollow body iron that would be great.

Open to any and all recommendations other than Ping. Can’t hit Ping irons at all.”

And our members have been sharing their best suggestions in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • AvidSwampThing66: “Another vote for the super forgiving and fast Paradym irons.   They look really good for being a GI iron.”
  • bobfoster: “I just went from MP20 MMCs to the new 245s in my scoring irons (just played my first round with them today). If you have a chance to try them, you might find them worth a serious look.”
  • vman: “Shoot me down, but spend the money on lessons.”
  • J_Tizzle: “i525s are great off the heel in my opinion.”
