After much anticipation and speculation, Fujikura is bringing the VeloCore technology from its highly popular line of Ventus wood shafts to hybrids and utilities with the launch of the all-new Ventus HB.

The new Ventus HB shafts are available in both Blue (mid-launch) and Black (low-launch) profiles as well as a large variety of weights to fit any golfer. They also utilize Fujikura’s proprietary VeloCore Technology to offer extreme stability, to help reduce dispersion and offer greater control.

Fujikura on VeloCore

Our multi-material bias core construction delivers ultimate stability through transition and impact (maximizing clubhead MOI) – increasing velocity and smash factor. The multi-material core is crafted with full-length, ultra-high modulus Pitch 70 Ton Carbon Fiber for ultimate stability, and incredible feel.

What this really means is VeloCore technology, which contributes to the shaft’s extremely low torque tip section helps in reducing the amount of clubhead twisting created from off-center hits. Any shot where the ball is not hit directly on the sweet spot results in some amount of clubhead twisting and what the engineers of Fujikura have discovered—thanks to the help of Enso – 3D motion capture system—is that creating extra tip stability can result is much tighter dispersion.

This type of stability is just as important in hybrids and utility irons as it is in wood shafts because these clubs are using in a variety of situations, whether it be off the tee or out of the rough.

Considering the ever-growing popularity of hybrids along with driving iron utility clubs, the Ventus HB is a welcome line extension.

Specs, Price, and Availability

The Fujikura Ventus hybrid shafts will be available starting September 1 for the Ventus Blue, and September 15th for the Ventus Black. They will retail for $200 each in both profiles.
