Fujikura Ventus Velocore+ Review: Blue, Black, and Tour Black Compared
18 Jun 2026
The Fujikura Ventus Velocore+ is one of the most played shafts on the PGA Tour — and Velocore+ technology is the reason. Carbon fiber wraps spirally around the entire shaft length, creating stability through the hitting zone that lets faster swingers unload without losing control. Here's the full comparison of the three Ventus variants.
What Velocore+ Technology Does
The spiraled carbon fiber bias wrap stiffens the shaft at impact without adding significant weight — the result is tighter dispersion for players with aggressive transitions. On tour it shows up as lower spin and a more penetrating ball flight compared to conventional parallel-construction shafts.

Which Ventus Is Right for You?
Start with the Blue if you're in the 90-105 mph range. Move to the Black above 100 mph if your ball flight runs too high. Tour Black is for the strongest hitters only.
