FUJIKURA's AIR SPEEDER NEW AIR SPEEDER DR is the latest shaft designed to provide golfers with the best performance. This model incorporates VTC (VARIABLE TORQUE CORE) technology, also used in the SPEEDER NX series, to achieve high launch and high ball speed in drivers. In addition, the increase to three flex options allows for more precise fitting.
VTC technology precisely controls torque distribution, tightening the torque at the tip and butt to achieve high initial velocity and high launch. Partial multi-hoop technology optimizes the lamination technology of the hoop layer from the middle to the butt section to suppress crushing. This technology aims to give the tip an appropriate flex feel, making it easier for the ball to launch and optimizing spin rate.
Furthermore, the driver uses an ultra-low resin carbon sheet "RC20% prepreg," maximizing the carbon fiber ratio to achieve stronger flex recovery. The EI design increases the bending rigidity of the middle section and stabilizes the amount of flex during the swing, suppressing loss of impact. This achieves both easier ball launch and increased ball speed.
This shaft optimizes the flow from driver to irons and unifies the feel across club numbers, achieving optimal shaft fitting.
＜PRGR Irons: The Ultimate Combo＞
An "iron combo set" simply means a club setup that combines different iron models within a single set.
It used to be common to "use the same model from 5-iron to PW," but in recent years, among tour pros,
"easy to hit for long to mid-irons, and control-focused for short irons"
has become the mainstream approach.
1. Why are "combo sets" so popular?
There are two main reasons.
These are "the evolution of ball performance" and "changes in green conditions."
Increasing difficulty of long irons
Modern golf balls have evolved to suppress spin to enhance distance performance.
As a result, with conventional muscle-back (01 series) long irons, even with a pro's head speed, it is increasingly difficult for the ball to get airborne and for it to stop on the green due to insufficient spin.
Role change from "distance" to "stopping"
For pros, long irons (4-5 irons) are not merely clubs for gaining distance.
They are clubs for aiming at the pin with a high trajectory and stopping the ball firmly on the green.
Therefore, for long to mid-irons,
there is an increasing trend to combine highly forgiving models that feature thicker soles and hollow structures.
2. If you're building with PRGR? Recommended combos
PRGR's 01-02 series is actually a very easy lineup to create combo settings with.
Classic Athlete Combo: 01 × 02
・4-6 iron: 02 IRON (high launch and easy distance)
・7-iron to PW: 01 IRON (focus on operability and feel)
Points
Since the 7-iron of the 01 (32° loft) is combined with the 6-iron of the 02 (28°),
the loft progression is natural, and a combo setting with minimal difference in feel and no discomfort is possible.
