Two weeks ago, we highlighted Fujikura and the success of Ventus on the PGA Tour, and as one of the most popular shaft lineups in golf. Before that, we talked about Fuji’s new Axiom iron shafts, and saw our members and GolfWRX’s own Brian Knudson getting fit into Axiom.
In this video, we talked with Spencer Reynolds of Fujikura Golf about the other shaft lineups the company offers that are sometimes overlooked. Fujikura offers a wide-ranging shaft lineup for golfers with different skill levels, profiles, or even desired price points. These options include the Vista Pro series, an entry-level option within the Fujikura catalog. Spencer goes on to detail Motore X, Ventus, Axiom, and the Speeder NX series of shafts.
Tune in above to see which Fujikura shaft might be the best fit for you.

It is just crazy how golfers are literally beside themselves when they are placed in a properly aligned set up! They feel they can’t swing or function! We take a dive into why this is and it has to do with how the eyes are set up in the human skull!

Check out GolfWRX’s new hero, Adam Schenk, as he discusses why he carries two bags full of clubs to each event and how he decides the 14 that he’ll take to the first tee!

Our Andrew Tursky talked with Schenk for PGATour.com’s Equipment Report. An excerpt below:
In fact, Schenk travels with so many extra clubs that he needs not one, but two golf bags to carry them all.
“I travel with a little more equipment than most people,” Schenk said. “It’s fun for me, probably more fun than playing, honestly.”
He’s a shot maker, and he sets up his golf bag to play to that strength, keeping multiple drivers around for different courses and conditions.
“I’ll do something different (with each of my driver setups),” Schenk told GolfWRX.com. “Some are for a draw, some fade, some I can do both with. Some high, some low. Just fitting whatever the golf course is calling for. If I’m slicing it, I’ll probably play a driver with more loft to help me turn it over a little more.”
But that’s not the only reason he travels with so many clubs. It’s also for the pure enjoyment of strategizing and tinkering.

Notes on video:
• M3 – 10.5º – weights forward (and CG forward) for lower spin
• Twist Face – tighter spin rate cluster between toe and heel hits
• “I don’t hit in the middle of the face!”. “CLINK” – 123/186mph 2100rpm!
• “Right miss is okay, left miss no!”
• “Lifty” to outside in backswing… try to keep it low back and wide thru.
• “Subtle differences in golf swing.”
• Arched left wrist at top for closed/square clubface at impact.
• Speed & Control. No full out swing -85-90% of max speed.
• Cutting ball last 2 years… before drawing ball!
• Can’t overdo it… open chest to cover ball especially with irons.
• Swing at 8:40 — 121/180/2108 … smash factor = 1.48 wow!!!
• Swing at 12:07 with vicious left knee flexing up through impact!!!
• Swing at 14:00 – Augusta 18th hole… 120/179/2725rpm for a big fade and likely an open face high toe hit too … 🙂

Ooops… got the last point wrong where I said “… a big fade and likely an open face high toe hit…”.
Here’s the correction taken from a previous WRX/JD/TM article:
““Twist Face” is TaylorMade’s new design that makes the high-toe area of the face more open and more lofted, and the low heel portion more shut and lower lofted. The goal here is to reduce the slice off the low heel and reduce the hook off the high toe. For Dustin, he seemed most excited to get relief on his high-toe miss.”
So it was a “slice off the low heel” that we saw on the video.
