Brand Story
If there are 100 players, 100 different shafts are needed.
This 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 shafts for golf in 1974. The main line of Fujikura shafts is the "Speeder" series. In particular, the "Speeder EVOLUTION" series, which began sales in 2014, has become an extremely popular shaft, boasting the top share in the domestic women's tour for the past several years, and 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 since its introduction. It has now attracted attention from players who had previously shown 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 want it.
Through extensive testing by numerous tour professionals, we have successfully commercialized a product with a high level of both landing angle and feel.
By compositing carbon, metal, and rubber, we precisely control the smooth feel and snap-back.
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 want it.
In addition to spin rate and launch angle, it is one of the factors that has become clear with the recent widespread use of ball flight measurement devices.
Tour professionals prioritize the landing angle for 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.
・Through repeated testing at tournament venues with many male and female domestic tour players, we narrowed down over 30 prototypes.
We commercialized the one that had the best feel and an average landing angle increase of 1.1 degrees compared to the clubs used.
・Adopting Tour Ability Structure, while suppressing rigidity at the grip end and increasing rigidity at the tip, the shaft's stickiness enhances head control, resulting in a shaft that allows for a gentle angle of attack and the ability to "aim for and stop on the green."
