Fujikura launches new Pro 2.0 and Pro 2.0 Tour Spec shafts
Fujikura has announced the launch of the second generation of its Pro series shafts: the Pro 2.0.
The first iteration of the Pro shafts were designed with a soft handle section to aid in loading. The Pro 2.0 presents an even more effective loading zone, according to the company, which also says torsional stiffness is 14 percent greater in the 2.0.
“Like all of our shafts, the Pro 2.0 has been designed utilizing enso, a 3D motion-capture technology that no one else in the shaft industry has,” said Alex Dee, Vice President at Fujikura Composites America.
“This technology and advanced data analytics has allowed us to crack the code on how club performance and ball flight are affected by shaft characteristics and swing type. When we compared to the original Pro, we saw the 2.0 was significantly easier to swing, had tighter shot dispersion, and lower spin to deliver the club head with more power, control and distance. We were thrilled with the result.”
The Pro 2.0 is painted “Destroyer Grey” with a metallic blue design in line with the original Pro shaft. The Tour Spec model is painted “Tour Spec White.”
The shafts will be available in weight ranges from 57 to 87 grams (5, 6, 7, 8) and in flexes starting at R2 up to X. $225 MSRP; $250 for the Tour Spec model. Hybrid option available for $140.
Available at over 600 qualified Fujikura charter dealers beginning February 1. Full specs at Fujikura.com.
See what GolfWRX members are saying about the Pro 2.0 in the forums.
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.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

If these shafts are 100 grams…I’ll eat my shorts. Nobody uses a 100 gram shaft in a driver, Kurt.
Kurt is Correct

100 gram driver shafts were common in the 1990s and were branded as “tour” shafts. The lightweight shafts were for recreational golfers who bought the lie that lighter is faster. So start eating your shorts because stock graphite shafts are not in tour pro drivers… believe it.

You are wrong, Kurtis.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the tour edition shafts were made over 100 grams specially for the high speed hard hitting pros… and branded as 85 grams.
The problem with graphite shafts is their floppy soggy erratic tip sections that don’t recover fast enough for the whipsnap action through impact. Epoxy is a plastic and doesn’t have the same dynamic properties as steel.
Gearheads are sold on “light weight” for a faster swing and they believe it. Gullibility!

Just spotted this Aerotech Steelfiber ad in the sidebar, which proves my point about steel shafts:
https://aerotechgolfshafts.com/
The steel fibers give the shafts the tip stability when flexing in final release…. when the shaft is twisting and drooping. No wonder the tour pros are playing these shafts; they have steel characteristics and a graphite supporting tube …. 😀

Thank you Kurt. You are correct about the instability of all graphite shaft tip sections. Gearhead hackers only love the pretty graphics on their floppy soggy shafts because their swing speeds are so loooow … lol
