The Shaft Trusted by Champions — and by Us

In 2025, Fujikura VENTUS made history as the shaft of choice in every Men’s Major win — from Augusta to Portrush. It’s more than a stat. It’s proof of performance across every type of course and condition.

At AmateurGolf.com, we’ve tested VENTUS on launch monitors, under tournament pressure, and in real-world conditions. We’ve seen it work. And we recommend it to elite amateurs who want tighter dispersion, better face control, and confidence when it counts.

🎥 VENTUS White Review | AmateurGolf.com

Clocking in at just over 49 g, the VENTUS White delivers high launch, increased spin, and buttery feel—even when dialing down loft. Pete Wlodkowski found enhanced clubhead speed and comfortably transitioned from a 10.5° to 9° driver head.

At AmateurGolf.com, this was more than a milestone — it was a validation. We’ve trusted VENTUS in our own bags for years. It’s what we test with. What we fit into. And what we recommend to players seeking stability, tight dispersion, and elite-level feel.

🏆 The Masters — Augusta

Rory McIlroy completed his career Grand Slam in dramatic fashion, winning the 2025 Masters in a playoff over Justin Rose after both players finished at 11-under-par. After years of heartbreak at Augusta, McIlroy finally slipped on the Green Jacket, capping off one of the most emotional victories in major championship history.

Driver Setup:
TaylorMade Qi10 9° driver with a Fujikura VENTUS Black 6X shaft (45″) — providing consistent low-spin launch and tight shot dispersion through Augusta’s demanding angles and slopes.

🏆 PGA Championship — Quail Hollow

Scottie Scheffler claimed his first Wanamaker Trophy at the 2025 PGA Championship, turning a shaky front nine into a dominant closing stretch. He posted 71 for a final total of 11-under-par (273), winning by five shots over a crowded field. It was a masterclass in mental toughness and clutch ball-striking, highlighted by a 3-under back nine while his closest competitors faltered.

Driver Setup:
TaylorMade Qi10 9° head paired with a Fujikura VENTUS Black 7X shaft (45″), along with a VENTUS Black 8X in his 3-wood and VENTUS Black 9X in his 7-wood — a fully dialed-in combo for stability and flight control under pressure.

🏆 U.S. Open — Oakmont

J.J. Spaun captured his first major title at the 2025 U.S. Open in unforgettable fashion. Battling through a shaky front nine and a mid-round weather delay, Spaun found another gear on the closing stretch at Oakmont — one of the hardest tests in golf. He birdied four of the final seven holes and drained a stunning 64-foot putt on the 18th green to win by one stroke.

Driver Setup:
Titleist GT3 9° driver featuring a Fujikura VENTUS Black 6X shaft with VeloCore+ — engineered for precision, maximum control, and low launch during one of the toughest final rounds in major history.

🏆 The Open Championship — Royal Portrush

Scottie Scheffler delivered another historic performance at the 2025 Open Championship, winning by four shots at Royal Portrush and capturing the third leg of the career Grand Slam. His 17-under-par total (267) included four rounds in the 60s, making him just the fourth player in Open history to do so.

Driver Setup:
TaylorMade Qi10 9° head with a Fujikura VENTUS Black 7X shaft — a trusted low-launch combo delivering unmatched consistency and control throughout the windswept championship test.

Why We Believe in VENTUS at AmateurGolf.com

Our team doesn’t just write about gear — we play it. The VENTUS Blue 6S with VeloCore+ has become my go-to. I’ve seen the stability through transition. I’ve felt the face stay square. And I’ve launched both draws and fades with confidence.

🔧 My Ventus Fitting Experience

I’m not a club fitter or builder. I’m just a golfer trying to better understand the equipment I use—and how it impacts my game. Recently, I dove into shaft profiles, swing dynamics, and the importance of matching bend profile to swing feel. What I discovered changed the way I see driver fitting.

The Fujikura Ventus Blue 6S with VeloCore+ has been the perfect match for my fast transition and moderate face closure. It's helped me trust my swing and deliver consistent shots both on the simulator and out at Cave Creek GC.

I paired the shaft with a Cobra DARKSPEED LS driver head for a forward-CG, low-spin setup—and it’s become a real confidence booster off the tee. My key takeaway? The right bend profile transforms your feel and ball flight—without forcing your swing to fit the club.
