Brand Story
If there are 100 players, 100 shafts are needed
That's 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 shafts for golf in 1974. Fujikura's main shaft is the "Speeder" series, and in particular, the "Speeder EVOLUTION" series, which started sales in 2014, has become a very popular shaft that boasts the top share in the domestic women's tour for the past few years, winning the No. 1 usage rate in the 2014 season. Even in the men's tour, the "Speeder Evolution" has been highly evaluated due to the emergence of winners, and it has attracted attention from players who had not shown interest until now.
Features of "TRAVIL Iron"
・Introducing a new iron shaft that focuses on the landing angle, an essential element for stopping the ball where you aim.
Through repeated testing by numerous tour pros, we have been able to commercialize the product at a high level in terms of both landing angle and feel.
By compositing carbon, metal, and rubber, smooth feel and precise control of snapback are achieved.
Get a trajectory that allows you to aim from above.
・The landing angle is an important factor for stopping the ball where you aim.
In addition to spin amount and launch angle, it is one of the factors that has become clear with the spread of ball flight measurement devices in recent years.
Tour pros emphasize the landing angle in shots aimed at the green.
What kind of shaft is needed to aim from above?
That's where the development of TRAVIL began.
・Repeated tests were conducted at tournament venues with many domestic male and female tour players, and the product was narrowed down from over 30 types of prototypes.
Compared to the clubs used, the average landing angle increased by 1.1 degrees, and the one with the best feel was commercialized.
・Adopting Tour Ability Structure, while suppressing rigidity at the hand, the tip is made highly rigid. The shaft's tenacity enhances head maneuverability, and a shaft that "aims and stops on the green" with a gentle angle of attack is born.
A "combo set of irons" simply means a setting that combines different models of irons in one set.
In the past, it was common to "match the same model from 5-iron to PW," but in recent years, even among tour pros,
"Long to mid-irons are easy, and short irons prioritize operability"
This differentiation has become mainstream.
1. Why is the "combo set" popular?
There are two main reasons.
These are "evolution of ball performance" and "changes in green conditions."
Increased difficulty of long irons
Modern golf balls are evolving in a direction that suppresses spin to enhance flight distance performance.
Therefore, with conventional muscle-back (01 series) long irons, even with a pro's head speed, it is difficult for the ball to go up, and there are increasing cases where there is insufficient spin and it is difficult to stop on the green.
Role change from "distance" to "stop"
For pros, long irons (4-5 iron) are not just clubs to gain distance.
They are clubs for aiming at the pin with a high trajectory and firmly stopping the ball on the green.
Therefore, for long to mid-irons,
There is an increasing trend to combine highly forgiving models with thicker sole designs and hollow structures.
2. If you combine with PRGR? Recommended combo
PRGR's 01-02 series is actually a lineup that makes combo settings very easy to combine.
Classic athlete combo: 01 × 02
・4-6 iron: 02 IRON (easy to hit high and far)
・7-iron to PW: 01 IRON (prioritizes operability and feel)
Point
Since the 7-iron of 01 (loft 32°) is combined with the 6-iron of 02 (28°),
The loft connection is natural, and a combo setting with little difference in feel and no discomfort is possible.
