Tommy Fleetwood has set one of the most efficient management shows in the last memory.
Going to the last round of today’s TravelerHe has hit 21 consecutive roads in a course that is not so open.
The interesting thing to see here is how he is doing it. Fleetwood currently decreases to 135 at the distance of the car in PGA Tour and 36 in accuracy, giving it an 82nd 82nd middle rank in total driving. He is not long in comparison, precise for sure and in short, we would call him a medium driver of the golf ball package.

How do Tommy Fleetwood decide on every club (and top!) In his bag
There are some things this week that really changed for the better, and is a testimony of the continued work done by Fleetwood and Taylormade Tour rep Adrian Rietveld.
I was able to walk some Fleetwood holes in US Open this year, and what I saw was a player who was called from the point of view of the technique, but something was a hair. Nothing crazy to speak, but just something that took its level of faith from “type” to “ultimate”. This is where Rietveld and his tireless pursuit to get it right enter the game. What I saw interesting was that he could feel him from his work with Fleetwood and instead of letting him ride and let the player understand, he went inside and made some decisions.
You have to keep in mind that tournament players are always quite smart devices; They have every lever to attract available and reps to ensure that it is appropriate. Nothing is left to chance from a 35,000 -foot view.
But things change, constantly, so the reason why tourist trucks are there. And it’s also why players are set in a repetitive main week in a week outside. This creates a relationship and a track record with one another to measure success against failure.
This week in the travelers, it was a change of driver and mini driver who seemed to create that “faith” I referred to earlier.
;)
In the US Open and all 2025, Tommy had played Fujukura Ventus Red Velo + 6x to the driver and mini his driver. This profile has a very rigid handle with the shaft, descending progressively on the top of the top. What this allows (in theory) is the ball to “get up” more easily, all by holding the rotation. For players like Fleetwood, who want to stay on top of it – the angle of neutral/former attack – is a way to deceive the launch and rotation without having to hit it to take it in the air.
Now, it has to be said that the shafts are a very personal ingredient for a golf club. Profile profile “can” work for any player, depending on the goal and how the player gives the club. I do not advise to see the bending and profile of a shaft and immediately qualifying it as “not for you”.
That is why to fit properly is so important. Take someone like Rocco Media, for example, he is 60+ years old, shakes it maybe 100 mph and uses an X 70+ gram tours.
Why? Because he meets his shape and feeling shot. No, it is not too solid or heavy, it is perfect for it.
After Oakmont, Fleetwood and Rietveld made available the place where they were going to the end of the year. What they discovered was a few things
- He has lost some distance with the driver.
- He hit the closest located in last year’s mini-driving
- There were about 200-300 rpm of rotation to soften to make it work.
Then the test began…
Rietveld entered with some wise shaft options that could work. Tommy had played Ventus blue tr In both the driver and the mini last year successfully, but was interrupted at Qi35 at the beginning of the year because although Qi10 worked, she still had a big miss.

Profile of blue tr It is very rigid of the top and becomes smoother progressively to the butt section. Almost the opposite polar and red. The axis varies greatly from the time it comes down to feel. Giving the player a feeling that allows them to put the club in a position to swing freely. Sometimes it is clear as the day, and sometimes (in this case) is more of a subconscious thing.
Fujukura Ventus tr the shaft of blue wood
New for 2022! Presenting a new profile in the formation, ventus tr. Born of continuous research for improvement and supported by ENSO® -led analytics and tour reactions, Ventus TR builds one of the most reliable and most -selling shafts of wood in Fujuka history. TR is a new medium release, low rotary profile on the Ventus line. Welcome to the next level of Ventus performance.

The easiest part of this puzzle was with the mini-drift; Setting the TR Blue Ventus in R7 Mini with new weight configuration was about to wait and play. R7 allows a mounting to move weight to north/south and east/west.
The new placement has a 10g weight on the toe, a weight of 15 g on the heel and two weights 3 g in the back. This moves the side of the CG heel and forward, allowing Tommy to hit a draw (with rotation) with little or no effort. Alsosht also faster, and rotation dropped 300 RPMS (3300 rpm to 3000 rpm)
The driver was a little more complicated, but the result remained the same. There were four options presented in Fleetwood, some with the red vents configuration but with a slightly stronger tip (TX Tipped 1 ″ Vs X Tipped 1.5 ″) and TR Blue configurations.
Fleetwood had to kill the spin without sacrificing attic. He needs more attic for control, and as he goes to a 10.5˚ driver configuration, his accuracy is there, but the distance was not. Most of the losses were due to the increase in rotation. Keep in mind that the current configuration has worked well; He could have played with him throughout the year, but this is Tommy Fleetwood. No untouched stone.
QI35 has a different CG package than QI10, allowing assemblies to move the weight up and again in the middle of the head, against the heel side and on the inside.

His new driver configuration took place a better strike point, rolled in that 2400 rpm string he loves, and separated from the mini-driver, so his void was proper.
It may not seem like a big change of gears, but in tournaments and for you, it’s the little things we need to look at to get it properly.
Fleetwood is setting a tee-top clinic this week. Is it due to gear exchange? Perhaps all we can do is tell the story before and after, and the shaft change is variable wise, wise for the equipment that has been moved. It is not often that a change of gears results in an increase in performance on this scale, so we definitely have to take a look at it.
Seems to make sense, Fleetwood is running the cover The last round of today. Something is working, I will tell you that.
Here are the specifications of new configurations.
