Best graphite wood shaft of 2023: The top 5
1. Fujikura Ventus TR Blue (18.63%)
What Fujikura says: “A powerful combination of stability and feel, TR Blue maintains an ultra-stiff tip section for superior control at impact. Increased torsional stiffness creates a profile with enhanced load capabilities for more aggressive swings while maintaining a smooth overall feel.”

The multi-material core is crafted with full-length, ultra-high modulus Pitch 70 Ton Carbon Fiber — 150% stronger and more stable than T1100g — for ultimate stability, and 40 Ton bias layers ensure incredible feel.”

We need a non premium category for this as well. Would be cool to see what people are fanboying that isn’t $300+++. EG the MCA kaili line.
