Fujikura is adding two shafts to the Ventus line: TR Black and TR Red.The TR models feature increased torsional stiffness in the handle section.MSPR is $350.
The Fujikura Ventus shaft family is getting two new siblings—TR Black and TR Red. That brings the total number of Ventus kith and kin to six. In 2019, Fujikura launched Ventus Blue. Shortly thereafter, it added Ventus Black and Ventus Red.
Side Note: Three years for a flagship shaft is a long tenure. The fact that it was more popular at retail and on Tour in its second year is equally abnormal. The Fujikura Ventus is the reigning heavyweight champion of the shaft world. Instead of a gaudy belt, it boasts retail sales figures and Tour usage stats that border on the absurd. It’s not abnormal to see +/- 25 percent of players in PGA TOUR and PGA TOUR Champions with some version of Ventus in the driver.
At times, it seems like it would be reasonable to suggest that Fujikura Ventus is the stock shaft of the PGA TOUR. Surely, I jest.
OK, moving on. Earlier this year, Fujikura introduced Ventus Blue TR which maintained the VeloCore architecture of the Ventus Blue profile but with an additional layer of spread tow of ultra-stiff carbon fiber in the mid-handle section. With TR Black and TR Red, Fujikura applied the same materials as it did with Ventus Blue TR, with the same intention: to lower launch and spin by increasing the torsional stiffness “where golfers need it most” according to Fujikura.
The Best Golf Shoes at the Wyndham Championship
The 2021-2022 PGA Tour season is winding down, but the golf shoe game is just starting to heat up! This week my golf shoe endeavors took me (virtually) to the Wyndham Championship, where a few players caught my attention right from the jump.
Let’s just say I was very impressed with the amount of note-worthy shoes this week considering the strength of the field. If it were up to me, each of the golfers on this list would earn enough Fedex Cup points for their shoes alone to put them into the the Top-125.
Maybe one day I’ll have that kind of pull. I need some Tour guy giving out post-round interviews about how he was more worried about making the Spy Kicks top 5 instead of actually playing decent golf!
Here are the best golf shoes I saw this week at the Wyndham Championship in North Carolina.
Harold Varner III in the French Blue Air Jordan 12 Low G
Technically we can call the French Blue Air Jordan 12 Low G and unreleased shoe because it’s not yet available at retail. The keyword being “yet.” In all of my research my findings have been consistent: this shoe will most likely get a general release to the public on August 12 with a retail price of $220. Sneakerheads rejoice! Anytime a shoe this sweet makes its way to retail, you know the Golf Gods are blessing us for some reason or another.

MOST WANTED SCORING
We have reformulated our 2022 Most Wanted results to a 100-point scoring system. This new system better identifies golf clubs to potentially help you shoot lower scores.
British golf was first played over links or “green fields.” The earliest of them were sited at points up and down the eastern seaboard of Scotland, of which Dornoch, Montrose, Barry, Scotscraig, St. Andrews, Elie, Leven, Musselburgh, North Berwick, and Dunbar were, and Dornoch, Barry (Carnoustie) and North Berwick are typical. Nature was their architect, and beast and man her contractors. GUY CAMPBELL
Joohyung "Tom" Kim became the second-youngest winner on the PGA Tour since World War II after shooting a 9-under 61 to win the Wyndham Championship on Sunday.
Jerry Kelly missed a chance to win in regulation and then made short work in the playoff Sunday with a 4-foot birdie putt to win the Shaw Charity Classic for his third title of the season on the PGA Tour Champions.
Ashleigh Buhai recovered from throwing away a 5-shot lead at the Women's Open by beating In Gee Chun in a playoff Sunday to win her first major title.

The grounds on which golf is played are called links being the barren, sandy soil from which the sea has retired in recent geological times. In their natural state links are covered with long, rank, bent grass and gorse…links are too barren for cultivation; but sheep rabbits, geese and professionals pick up a precarious livelihood on them.
