Fujikura kicks off 2026 with the new VENTUS TR Blue shaft featuring fresh VeloCore+ technology.
With the VENTUS TR Blue, Fujikura introduces a new model built on a well-known foundation. The new version maintains the proven mid-launch/low-spin characteristics of its predecessor but includes an internal update: VeloCore+ technology, which Fujikura claims brings enhanced stability and consistency to the shaft.
Fujikura: In-House Technology Development
As with the previous VENTUS TR, the new version was developed using the company’s enso® system, a 3D motion capture technology that allows detailed analysis of shaft movements. The data collected directly informed the design of the new model, which Fujikura says is optimized for energy transfer and control.
Familiar Feel with New Enhancements
The VENTUS TR Blue is designed for players seeking a consistent ball flight with an active swing. The new material combination—VeloCore+ and Spread Tow Carbon—aims to provide greater shaft stability under high stress. According to Fujikura, the balance between feel and control is preserved. Positioned between the VENTUS Blue and VENTUS Black, the TR Blue fills a portfolio gap. Product manager TJ Spidle notes most testers experienced increased clubhead speed. It suits players looking for a stable but not overly stiff shaft profile.
Various Options for Different Player Types
The shaft is available in multiple weights from 50 to 90 grams and in flex options ranging from Regular to Extra-Stiff. Available from January 9, 2026, through authorized dealers and selective custom-fit programs.
