Fujikura launches 2024 Pro Series shafts

Published

on

Fujikura today announced the latest iteration of its Pro Series of wood shafts. The Pro Series shafts are available in two bend profiles Blue (mid-launch/mid-low spin) and Black (low-launch/spin).

Taking the place of the Motore Series of shafts and sitting between the Vista Pro and Ventus lines, Fujikura’s Pro Series is equipped with Advanced Bend Profile Design (ABP). According to Fujikura, the company leveraged fitter feedback and Enso analytics to identify sections of the shaft to substantially stiffen. Fujikura says this is “independent of that section’s overall bend profile.”

Similar to Ventus TR’s design, in which engineers targeted torque and twist in specific sections of the shaft, Fujikura’s team targeted bending stiffness in precise locations to shape performance.

Additionally, Fujikura utilizes premium, lower-resin-content materials throughout the 2024 Pro line of wood shafts.

“We are hugely excited about the possibilities opened up by ABP,” said Spencer Reynolds, Fujikura Product and Brand Manager. “The new Pro Series will give custom fitters two excellent performance-driven options, and we’re looking forward to the benefits that this series of shafts will bring to players of all skill levels.”

2024 Fujikura Pro Series shafts: 2 profiles

Pro Blue

  • Mid-launch/mid-low spin shaft
  • Designed for a wide-range of swing speeds and player types
  • Designed for ease of launch and smooth feel

Pro Black

  • A low-launch/low-spin shaft
  • Same weight, ABD profile as Pro Blue but stiffer

Price for both is $225.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping

Published

on

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.

That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.

On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”

On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”

“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Check out Shipley’s full what’s in the bag and the rest of his wedge stampings here on “Inside the Ropes” from Colonial.
