Axiom: Fujikura’s all-new iron shaft with VeloCore
Fujikura has today introduced a new addition to its line of iron shafts: Axiom.
“Designed for ultimate consistency and feel,” Axiom iron shafts will be available through Fujikura’s Charter Dealer network beginning March of 2023.
The new Axiom iron shaft line utilizes the same VeloCore Technology featured in both Ventus and Ventus TR. VeloCore Technology is precisely configured in design to provide golfers with extreme consistency, stability, and workability on all shots.
Per Fujikura, extensive player testing and Enso analytics validated that the integration of VeloCore Technology into an iron profile yielded the same performance results players have experienced with Ventus.
According to the company, these benefits include increased ball speeds from better and more consistent center-face contact, tightened dispersion (both distance and accuracy), and maximum control for more consistent shot patterns.
Another key feature of the new Axiom line is a 3-parallel shaft length system that further aims to drive performance throughout the set. Long (2i-4i), mid (5i-7i), and short (8i-PW) shaft parallel configurations are designed to help create constant set weight and eliminate the need for extensive shaft tipping. Reduced tipping enables the retention of premium material integration in the tip section in order to maintain consistency and feel.
“When we set out to create an iron shaft that would feature our flagship technology, it needed to meet very demanding and specific criteria for us to call it a success. Not only did it need to provide golfers the same exceptional benefits they’ve experienced with other VeloCore-powered products, but also give players the unique and iron-specific performance attributes that will truly enhance their critical scoring shots,” – Spencer Reynolds, Fujikura’s Product & Brand Manager.
Axiom is available in three shaft weights and various flexes to fit a wide range of players and is designed for golfers seeking to maximize their iron performance by hitting it closer to their target more consistently and efficiently. Axiom will be available at retail from March 2023 through authorized Fujikura Charter Dealers.

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups 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.
- PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
- driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300. The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length. I am playing a Ventus Red 70. I play 70 grams in my fairways. I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee. When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time. So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck. The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
- JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”

Why do they keep separating the shafts into groups of 3 configurations like that???? Just makes the transitions have those steps! So what if you wanted to soft or hard step it??? Now you’ve thrown the configurations away and changed the way they all group. Dumb. Make it flow consistently, ffs
