Brand Story
If there are 100 players, 100 different 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 the "Speeder" series. In particular, the "Speeder EVOLUTION" series, which launched in 2014, has become a hugely 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, the "Speeder Evolution" has also received excellent reviews, with winners emerging after its introduction. It has now become a focus of attention even for players who previously showed no interest.

By compositing carbon, metal, and rubber, we precisely control a smooth feel and flex return.
Achieve a trajectory that allows you to aim from a higher position.
・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 recent spread of ball flight measurement devices.
Tour professionals prioritize landing angle in their approach shots to the green.
What kind of shaft is needed to aim from a higher position?
That's where the development of TRAVIL began.
・Extensive testing was conducted with many domestic male and female tour players at tournament venues, narrowing down over 30 prototypes.
The product that had an average of 1.1 degrees more landing angle compared to the clubs used and offered the best feel was commercialized.
・Adopting Tour Ability Structure, with suppressed stiffness at the grip and increased stiffness at the tip. The shaft's tenacity enhances head maneuverability, and the gentle angle of attack results in a shaft that can "aim for the green and stop the ball."
