Fujikura’s Ventus Velocore+ Blue was never going to be an only child for long. Early success and acceptance on Tour—Scottie Scheffler swears by the axle—eventually gave way to the introduction of two new profiles that are already making waves: VeloCore + Red and Black ($350 each).
Arguably the most popular fairway driver and wood shaft on the market, Ventus’ newest profiles are intended to benefit golfers looking for specific launch and spin windows.
The red is designed for golfers looking to add height through a consistent spin profile, while the black is intended for faster swing speeds that require a powerful launch package and low spin. While the profiles are obviously different, both incorporate Fujikura’s proprietary VeloCore+ technology, which promotes greater energy transfer through a multi-material bias core leading to more consistent ball speed and center contact, without sacrifice accuracy and control.
