The 2024 Fujikura Ventus Shafts: A Game-Changer for Tour Pros and Amateurs Alike
Fujikura’s Ventus shafts have long held a place as the most played driver shafts on professional tours, and the 2024 release solidifies their dominance even further. From weekend warriors to the best in the world, the Ventus Black, Blue, and Red have set a new standard for performance, consistency, and control. The 2024 models take this iconic line to new heights, offering cutting-edge technology and refined features for golfers of all skill levels. So, what’s new with the 2024 Ventus shafts, and why are they the go-to choice on tour?
Why Ventus is the Most Played Shaft on Tour
Before we look at the new models, it's essential to understand why the Ventus line continues to dominate on tour, in fact over 4,000 were used on the PGA tour in 2024. At its core, Ventus delivers unmatched stability through Fujikura’s proprietary VeloCore Technology. This multi-material bias core construction offers a unique combination of lower torque and increased energy transfer, providing better performance across a wide range of swing speeds.
Professional players choose Ventus because it reduces shot dispersion, leading to tighter shot groupings and more consistent results off the tee. Simply put, the stability and control it provides allow players to maximize their potential, especially when every drive counts.

What’s New for 2024?
Fujikura didn’t rest on its laurels for 2024. The new Ventus models—Black, Blue, and Red—are fine-tuned to offer something for every type of player, with enhancements that build on the success of their predecessors.
1. Ventus Black (2024): Low Launch, Maximum Control
The 2024 Ventus Black is a favorite for players with fast swing speeds who want a low-launch, low spin shaft for ultimate control. Fujikura has made some refinements to the tip stiffness and overall profile for the 2024 release, adding Pitch 70 Ultra High Modulus Carbon Fiber to further increase torsional stability. This results in even lower dispersion rates. The enhanced VeloCore + Technology used in the Black model ensures that players experience less twisting of the shaft during high-speed swings.
2. Ventus Blue (2024): The Balanced Performer
The 2024 Ventus Blue continues to be the most versatile option, offering a mid-launch, mid-spin profile. It is a fantastic choice for players seeking a balance between power and precision. In 2024, the Ventus Blue also gets the updated Velocore + Technology, providing even faster ball speeds and better feel without increasing stiffness. This makes it a perfect middle-ground shaft for players who want a blend of explosive power and playability.
3. Ventus Red (2024): Elevating High Launch
Known for its mid-to-high launch characteristics, the 2024 Ventus Red is perfect for players seeking a higher launch and spin without sacrificing control. Once again Fujikura has integrated VeloCore + Technology, making it lighter in the tip section to promote higher launch and higher spin, while still maintaining the stability that Ventus is known for. This model is ideal for golfers looking for maximum carry and softer profile.

Cutting-Edge Technology and Features
What truly sets the 2024 Fujikura Ventus shafts apart is the inclusion of innovative technologies and materials that enhance performance across the board:
- Updated VeloCore + Technology: The heart of the Ventus line, VeloCore Technology continues to lead the industry in stability. In 2024, Fujikura has fine-tuned this (now Velocore+) core to provide even better energy transfer and reduce twisting during impact. This is critical for players seeking control under pressure.
- Pitch 70 Ton Carbon Fiber: This ultra high modulus material has been added to the Ventus to provide even greater stiffness and stability. The result? Less twisting and bending during the swing, leading to straighter shots and more control for high-speed swingers.
- Phantium Finish: Fujikura’s proprietary Phantium finish process, reduces the weight of the paint and clear coat compared to competitors, in fact up to 6 grams can be reduced through this new Phanitum finish. This process allows them Fujikura to reduce the paint’s weight in the production process in order to maximize material placement in their lightweight and premium products.

"I recently switched to the 2024 blue in my driver and was looking for the same feel in my fairway with some help launching the ball. Couldn’t be happier with the feel a launch of the 2024 red in my fairway wood."
