Fujikura has seen substantial success with the Ventus and Ventus TR shaft lines since the first was released in 2019. Last year, we saw the first update to the original Ventus profiles, adding VeloCore+ technology. For 2026 we are now getting a brand new Ventus TR Blue with all of Fujikura’s latest tech under the new matte dark blue paint.

The big upgrade for the new Ventus TR Blue is the addition of VeloCore+. VeloCore+ is a multi-material bias core that provides torsional stability for added accuracy and consistency. Fujikura used its recently updated proprietary Enso 3D motion capture camera system to analyze how shafts bend and twist through the swing in order to create VeloCore+. While increasing stability was a major focus, Fujikura engineers also made sure to improve how the shaft uses that stored energy so it can help increase ball speed.

“The original TR Blue was such a trusted profile, so we wanted to keep what golfers already loved and see how far we could take it with VeloCore+. As soon as testing began, the improvements were clear. We saw more stability, better centredness of contact and more than 80% of players saw increased clubhead speed. Players also reported more clubface awareness and a more stable overall feel, which lined up perfectly with the performance data.”  -TJ Spidle, Product Manager at Fujikura

What makes the Ventus TR Blue different from Ventus Blue is the addition of spread tow carbon fiber up near the handle section, below the grip, on the shaft. Spread tow is an ultra-thin and lightweight carbon fiber fabric that stiffens up that section of the shaft. Fujikura found that for some golfers, their swing would put stress in that area, and adding a spread tow helps add stability and create more consistent center contact. For 2026, the spread to carbon fiber is laid at zero degrees, from the previous shaft’s 45-degree angle, in order to add some stiffness for players who really load the shaft.

The new Ventus TR Blue profile is very similar to the original but has a slightly stiffer handle section and a slightly softer mid-section, while the tip area is the same. Mid launch and low spin keep the new shaft playing very similar to the original TR Blue. This new Ventus TR Blue will be available at authorized Fujikura dealers and fitters on January 9.
