Fujikura Pro 2.0 Shaft Detailed Review
Design and Technology
The original Fujikura Pro shaft was one of the most popular wood shafts in Fujikura’s extensive history. The Pro 2.0 builds on the framework of prior generations and gives players a more playable profile and better performance. Improved loading zone dynamics and lower torque mean more energy and more stability built into drivers and fairway woods. Tour-Spec models will suit players with more aggressive tempos. The PRO series is Fujikura’s most expansive and can be built for players of all handicaps.
For my test, I put the Tour-Spec Fujikura Pro 2.0 driver shaft in a Callaway Epic Flash driver. I was hitting the 60X model. The Pro 2.0 features a higher balance point similar to the shaft that I play in my driver, so I am highly familiar with the feel of this shaft. The 2.0 shaft was an outstanding performer and I felt it was effortless to hit. I can see this shaft appealing to a wide variety of golfers and I understand why so many players have gravitated towards this offering. Every Fujikura shaft is made to the tightest tolerances and I believe the Pro 2.0 to be a great fit for the majority of amateur and weekend golfers.
The Fujikura Pro 2.0 differs from other premium shaft offerings in two significant features. This shaft is designed for more average golfers and does not require elite swing speeds to obtain its full performance. The price of the Pro 2.0 also makes it more accessible to casual golfers. Many drivers can be ordered with the Pro 2.0 at little upcharge and it can be bought second hand for very reasonable prices.

Fujikura continues to make golf shafts built for players of all abilities and swing types. The Pro 2.0 shafts come in a wide range of weights and flex to give golfers more distance and accuracy at any clubhead speed.

Specs
The Pro 2.0 shaft comes in two models that can be distinguished by their exterior paint colorways. The blue 2.0 shaft is the standard model and comes in weights between 50 and 70 grams and regular, stiff, and extra-stiff flexes. The white, Tour-Spec, model is available in 60- to 80-gram weights and stiff and extra-stiff flexes. The standard Pro 2.0 uses a mid-bend point to deliver mid and high launches coupled with medium spin rates. The Tour-Spec version uses a higher bend point to offer higher swing speed players less lead deflection, low launch, and low spin.
Conclusion
The Fujikura Pro 2.0 offers all golfers the ability to play a golf shaft with ultra-high-end materials in a profile that suits their game. This more affordable premium golf shaft can help a wide range of golfers dial in their driver and fairway woods for more distance and more accuracy.

Fujikura Ventus
The Ventus introduces Fujikura’s new VeloCore technology to give players more stability and forgiveness throughout the shaft without a harsh feel. Ventus is perfect for players looking to get more stability and forgiveness with their driver without sacrificing a smooth feel. VeloCore enhances energy transfer by blending 70 Ton and 40 Ton carbon fiber in a interlocked weave pattern. 70 Ton carbon fiber is 150% stronger than the next leading, T1100g, fiber and makes the Ventus the most forgiving golf shaft on the market. Players looking to add forgiveness with their driver, especially from off-center strikes can look to Ventus for added stability and great feedback.

The Tensei CK Pro Orange is the gamer of choice for many low handicap and elite golfers. Tensei CK Pro Orange uses carbon DuPont Kevlar, MR70, low resin content, 40 Ton prepreg, and tungsten power to give players an ultra-tip stiff design. Tungsten is used to move the balance point of the Tensei Pro Orange shaft higher in the golf shaft and improves driver and fairway wood club head speeds. Tensei Pro Orange is a low launch, low spin shaft built for players looking pick up club head speed, increase driving distance, and remain in control.
Aldila Rogue Silver 130MSI

Higher balance points give players the ability to increase clubhead speeds and distance through improved timing and club head delivery.
