It has been a week of exciting launches for Fujikura and its iconic VENTUS range, with the all-new TR Black and TR Red joining the flagship shaft family. Built with enhanced VeloCore+ technology, the new additions ensure the brand continues to meet the swing demands of an even broader spectrum of golfers.
Meanwhile, in a nod to the year’s opening Major in Georgia, the VENTUS Pimento Edition delivers the same innovation and performance benefits synonymous with VENTUS – albeit in a more playful form. After all, it’s a tradition like no other, as Fujikura once again unveils a Limited-Edition shaft to celebrate one of golf’s most iconic weeks.
VENTUS TR Black and TR Red Strengthen the Line-Up
Fujikura has bolstered its VENTUS TR collection with the introduction of the new TR Black and TR Red, both engineered with its industry-leading VeloCore+ technology. Building on the momentum of the recently launched TR Blue, these additions complete a trio designed to cater to a wide range of launch and spin profiles.
Developed using the brand’s proprietary enso® 3D motion capture system, the shafts are tailored for golfers on opposite ends of the performance spectrum. TR Red promotes a mid-to-high launch with added spin, TR Black delivers low launch and low spin for faster swingers, while TR Blue sits squarely in the middle – offering a balanced, mid-launch profile.
This strategic expansion enables Fujikura to serve players of all abilities and swing types, reinforcing its commitment to performance-driven innovation.
The new generation builds on the legacy of the original VENTUS TR, first introduced in 2022. By combining cutting-edge Spread Tow materials with enhanced VeloCore+ technology, Fujikura has achieved greater stability, improved energy transfer, and tighter dispersion—key factors for players seeking consistency and control.
TJ Spidle, Product Manager at Fujikura, commented:
“To elevate two such trusted profiles was always going to be a challenge – but one our engineers embraced. Once we began testing, the performance gains were clear: more consistent strikes, improved centeredness, and increased clubhead and ball speeds for many players.”
The TR Black features a stiffer mid-section with an extremely firm tip and handle, ideal for aggressive, high-speed swings. In contrast, TR Red offers a slightly softer profile to help players generate higher launch and added spin where needed.
Available from April 20, 2026, the shafts will retail at $350 and come in a wide range of weights (50g–90g) and flexes, from Regular to Extra Stiff, across driver and fairway wood options.
A ‘Tradition Like No Other’: The VENTUS Pimento Edition
Adding a splash of personality to performance, Fujikura has also unveiled the VENTUS Pimento Edition – a limited-release shaft inspired by one of golf’s most recognizable traditions.
While the design captures attention, performance remains uncompromised. Built with the same VeloCore+ technology trusted by the world’s best players, the Pimento Edition delivers the elite-level consistency and stability that define the VENTUS range.
Tim Daniels, Marketing Manager at Fujikura, said:
“We’ve created our own ‘tradition like no other’ with these themed releases. This one allowed us to have some fun, while still delivering serious performance. It’s a celebration of springtime in Georgia and one of golf’s great cultural moments.”
The Loop ensured the Pimento Edition’s launch received maximum visibility, from coordinating with media outlets and influencers to managing social campaigns highlighting the limited-edition release.
The limited-edition models will be available in VENTUS Blue 6-S and 6-X, as well as VENTUS Black 6-S and 6-X, with demand expected to be high ahead of the Major.
