Brand Story
If there are 100 players, 100 shafts are needed.
That is Fujikura's fitting philosophy.
Fujikura Rubber Industries, Ltd. (Fujikura) was founded in 1901. Starting with the manufacture of rubber products, the company began manufacturing carbon golf shafts in 1974. Fujikura's main shaft series is "Speeder," and in particular, the "Speeder EVOLUTION" series, which began sales in 2014, has become a very popular shaft that boasts the top share in the domestic women's tour in recent years, achieving the No. 1 usage rate in the 2014 season. Even on the men's tour, the "Speeder Evolution" has been highly praised, with winners emerging after its introduction. It has become a product that has attracted attention even from players who previously showed no interest.
Features of "TRAVIL Iron"
・Introducing a new iron shaft that focuses on the landing angle, a necessary element for stopping the ball where you intend.
Through extensive testing by numerous tour professionals, we have successfully commercialized a product with a high level of landing angle and feel.
By compositing carbon, metal, and rubber, it precisely controls a smooth feel and flex return.
Achieve a trajectory that allows you to aim from above.
・The landing angle is a crucial factor for stopping the ball where you intend.
In addition to spin rate and launch angle, it is one of the factors that has become clear with the spread of trajectory measurement devices in recent years.
Tour pros prioritize landing angle for shots aimed at the green.
What kind of shaft is needed to aim more from above?
That's where the development of TRAVIL began.
・Through extensive testing at tournament venues with many domestic male and female tour players, we narrowed down over 30 prototypes.
Compared to the clubs used, the average landing angle increased by 1.1 degrees, and the one with the best feel was commercialized.
・By adopting Tour Ability Structure, while suppressing the rigidity at the hand, the tip is made highly rigid. The shaft's tenacity enhances head controllability, and a gentle angle of attack leads to the birth of a shaft that can "aim for and stop on the green."
＜PRGR Iron Strongest Combo＞
An "iron combo set" simply refers to a setup that combines different models of irons within a single set.
In the past, it was common to "have the same model from 5-iron to PW," but in recent years, even among tour professionals,
"Long to mid irons for ease, short irons for emphasis on operability"
has become the mainstream way of using them.
1. Why are "combo sets" popular?
There are two main reasons.
They are "the evolution of ball performance" and "changes in green conditions."
Increased difficulty of long irons
Modern golf balls are evolving towards reduced spin rates to improve distance performance.
As a result, with conventional muscle-back (01 series) long irons, even with professional head speeds, it is becoming increasingly difficult for the ball to get airborne, and insufficient spin makes it harder to stop on the green.
Shift in role from "distance" to "stopping"
For professionals, long irons (4-5 iron) are not just about 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 with thicker sole designs or hollow structures.
2. If building with PRGR? Recommended Combos
PRGR's 01-02 series is actually a lineup that is very easy to combine into combo settings.
Classic Athlete Combo: 01 × 02
・4-6 iron: 02 IRON (high launch and easy distance)
・7-iron to PW: 01 IRON (emphasizing operability and feel)
Key points
Since the 01 7-iron (loft 32°) is combined with the 02 6-iron (28°),
the loft progression is natural, and a combo setting with minimal difference in feel and no discomfort is possible.
