Brand Story
If there are 100 players, 100 different shafts are needed.
That is Fujikura's fitting philosophy.
Fujikura Rubber Co., Ltd. (Fujikura) was founded in 1901. Starting with the manufacturing of rubber products, the company began manufacturing carbon golf shafts in 1974. Fujikura's main shaft series is the "Speeder" series, and in particular, the "Speeder EVOLUTION" series, which started sales in 2014, has become a very popular shaft that has boasted the top share in the domestic women's tour for the past few years, achieving the No. 1 usage rate in the 2014 season. In the men's tour as well, the "Speeder Evolution" has received excellent reviews, with winners emerging after its introduction. It has become a shaft that has attracted attention even from players who had not shown interest before.
Features of "TRAVIL Iron"
・Introducing a new iron shaft that focuses on the landing angle, an essential element for stopping the ball where you want it.
Through extensive testing by numerous tour professionals, we have been able to commercialize a product with a high level of both landing angle and feel.
By combining carbon, metal, and rubber, we precisely control the smooth feel and snap back.
Achieve a trajectory that allows you to aim from above.
・The landing angle is a crucial factor in stopping the ball where you want it.
In addition to spin rate and launch angle, it is one of the factors that has become clear with the spread of trajectory measuring devices in recent years.
Tour professionals prioritize the landing angle for shots aimed at the green.
What kind of shaft is needed to aim from a higher position?
That's where the development of TRAVIL began.
・Through repeated testing at tournament venues with many domestic male and female tour players, we narrowed down 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 the rigidity of the grip end, 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 and stop on the green."
＜PRGR Iron Strongest Combo＞
A "combo set of irons" 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 forgiveness, short irons for controllability."
This differentiation of use has become mainstream.
1. Why are "combo sets" becoming popular?
There are two main reasons.
They 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 distance performance.
As a result, with conventional muscle-back (01 series) long irons, it is becoming increasingly difficult for the ball to get airborne even with professional head speeds, and spin is insufficient, making it difficult to stop on the green.
Change in role from "flying" to "stopping"
For professionals, long irons (4-5 iron) are not merely clubs for gaining distance.
They are clubs for aiming at the pin with a high trajectory and stopping firmly on the green.
Therefore, for long to mid-irons,
There is an increasing trend to combine highly forgiving models that adopt designs with thicker soles or hollow structures.
2. If you're building with PRGR? Recommended Combos
PRGR's 01-02 series is actually a lineup that is very easy to combine for a combo setup.
Classic Athlete Combo: 01 × 02
・4-6 iron: 02 IRON (flies easily with a high trajectory)
・7-iron to PW: 01 IRON (prioritizes controllability and feel)
Points
Since the 7-iron of the 01 series (loft 32°) is combined with the 6-iron of the 02 series (28°),
The loft progression is natural, and a combo setup with minimal difference in feel and no discomfort is possible.
