Again you’re hitting more shots now consecutively feel and honestly feels feels what I’ve played with all weekend feels great does it really feels really really good doesn’t feel like anything’s nothing’s ruined no feels ruined no not extra stiff nothing it’s just same same love it looks better all

Right guys welcome back to the channel end of day one Michael the sun’s setting yeah I’m ready for bed ready for bed but we’ve got one more stop one more stop the good stop with the good stop we’re here at fujikura we have a big big launch brand new Ventus line we

Obviously last time around we had the extension to the Ventus line with TR but this is this is a change in cycle for the OG little up first time we saw VOR inventors huge success yeah it will go down probably as a goat it will be a

Goat right Best in Class best of all time everyone loves it whether your red profile black or blue whatever you love it it was the one yeah yeah so it’s a tough task how do you go about trying to to reinvent something that successful yeah I mean the velore plus cool new

Material um they haven’t changed the profile too much which is nice uh they kept the the OG which we’re all familiar with um I use a vent’s blue my driver so it’s nice that it’s not a crazy change um but excited to see how it performs

Yeah so from what we’re hearing guys you guys are not going to experience something all that different in the F in the performance we’re just going to see it in the in the bay right we’re going to get the numbers and we’re going to see enhanced ball speeds we’re talking

About a a more efficient use of the materials some new materials in there very similar to what the old EI profile was in blue but with enhanced materials it’s been 5 years yeah yeah it’s a long time it’s been a while and that’s that’s Testament to how good the OG was so it’s

Time for something new um I think people thought TR was like blue relaunched but it really wasn’t no it was it was the chance to tweak the profiles a little bit and and give something different for players that loaded it slightly different three shafts became six mhm

Now this is not you know becoming three six sh becomes nine this is this is a replacement in the cycle love it you’ve hit a few talk to me a little bit about what you felt so far I mean it feels like Old Faithful which is nice um

Earlier you played that I I play it currently um so yeah the the feel feels the same that’s what I like okay nothing worse than you love something and then it changes and you have to save a few old shafts for kicking around so um first thoughts felt great okay yeah okay

All right well this is exactly what you play yeah vent is blue 5S different head so you don’t have your we forced into this one no no no no this is uh we’re we’re moving forward we’re moving forward that’s right so you’ve got AI smoke Triple Diamond y 9° 9° wave

Forward okay good luck okay let’s see it let’s see see it one I’m done all right we’re done thanks for coming folks okay so I mean we bit spinny we’re we’re chatting away there Mikey we’re we’re talking about all the new stuff we’re talking with the

The guys at Fuji you’re C into that and that’s 153 12 launch and 2500 okay you’ve carried that 260 out to 278 Peak height 98 M hour yeah yeah that’s Plug and Play I take that on the first te yeah you would but we need to go faster okay okay let’s see

A few more that was pretty darn perfect six yards offline love that love that for your swing that you feel that you can get that turning over like that that’s a good feel for you he that was that was some seriously low spin 17 264 carry 288 total okay little

Hey actually wasn’t Healy feels Healy that was just open face really yeah 4 mm in the heel okay Healy little bit Healy 9 mm but if you look at where that where that pattern is right they’re very much around the center yeah yeah okay you’re just

Leaving the face a little bit open your path’s getting a little bit again you’re hitting more shots now consecutively feel you honestly feels feels what I’ve played with all weekend feels great does it really feels really really good doesn’t feel like anything’s nothing’s ruined no feels ruined no not extra stiff nothing it’s

Just same same love it looks better to toe you’ve turned that but that’s what I want I want to see that from you something that turns like that right that’s that’s where speed lies for you 260 288 little bit in the flat side efficiency spiked up there nicely 146

Was spin low 20 sorry that one was 16 yeah very low love that one 105 love that one 12 launs 2109 Dynamics come down a we B yeah you’re just you’re just living at 260 280 the boring life just a whole hum life yeah tell me what

Uh what you feeling from a timing perspective your your your speed’s a little a little down do you feel like you’ve got enough weight do you feel you need more weight we can certainly change it I’d be tempted just to try a little bit more weight 6s that’s what I was

Thinking I try a little 6s and see if I canix that path a little wait interestingly interesting the draw came slightly at the heel and the that right one came out the toe really face up and weight to 6s yeah what do you feel honestly and I think it’s

Psychological right now cuz I saw the number it feels like I can kind of set that club behind me a little bit more get it to where I need it to be I don’t have to worry about face angle as much love that was a good swing Love

That Swing can we end on that one 289 so we’re done folks yeah I mean so you’re obviously now we we’re not measuring this we don’t know the swing weight we don’t know any of the the details in this Mikey my guess is will you play yours at 455 45 and a quarter

Quarter it’s probably 45 45 dead on yeah um I’m guessing that little bit of weight is just what you were struggling with with uh with that face yeah yeah I mean honestly the couple that I hit there I mean that’s just it’s better numbers it’s better numbers ball speed

Goes up spins in a better window strike is still in a good spot yeah I mean if we look at this is this is quite a good way to look at it because it’s got all the strikes collectively in there you’re pretty evenly distributed between two

You’re not you’re not any more than 9 mm off uh Center Center Line so guys I think what we’re going to see when it comes to this new Ventus lineup is a tighter dispersion in the face we’re going to see more efficient energy transfer which to you guys is going to

Lead to more ball speed and ultimately it’s it’s a game of fitting as it always is it’s going to be a case of how do you time it how does it match the head that you’re in how do the components and the build sort of bring all together to make

It a good system toally totally that success just put it in a better window you finally you just could time it instantly need to go find Dave Maldo and change my order yeah no I I could to be honest I could see you struggling a

Little bit I mean you know like I always say to you when people misuse weight it’s very easy to throw like that way right and you have something to keep behind you to then pivot on that was the first time like you look like it just

Looks too light for felt like I could kind of throw it over the top a bit more so yeah 6s I mean those last couple were definitely better okay okay get fit get fit well guys initial Impressions obviously this is where we start right we introduce you guys to the product we

Bring it back to the store and we get to work this is what we do so we’re going to build up for Mike I’m sure you know I’ll get to work and building one for myself but the true test will be when we test against the OG that’s the test

That’s one I hope that you guys want us to see uh you know the original versus this TR versus this where do they fit in the line is it worth the replacement it’ll all unfold front I’m excited to compare it to the OG because similar feel but new materials makes

Marginal gains makes you a better player excited we like it new finish let’s talk with the Finish just quickly fantum I like the name yeah little it’s like a it’s a matte finish but doesn’t have that kind of rougher feel than a than a matte finish normally does so yeah looks

Uh looks Wicked companies like fujikura have developed their products so much to a certain point that they’re trying to extract every little percentage point of performance out the product that comes down to the thickness of the paint the type of paint how does the paint travel through through sort of you know

Aerodynamically through space and and Phantom p is something they’ve had for quite some time but this is obviously the first time they’ve added it to the vent line and again just those little percentage points along the way uh I love the color I think it’s a little bit

More vibrant to me if somebody was standing 15 yards away you would know I couldn’t tell if they were in blue or black 100% right now now I can tell yeah yeah now it stands out obviously guys lots of you be asking when’s blue coming when’s H sorry when’s red coming when’s

Black coming they’re coming they’re coming that’s the good news they’re coming and sometime later this year you will see it but the same way as when Ventus blue was launched the first time it came alone yeah yeah right it was the OG was the middle profile it was and

Then obviously red and and black s of followed uh not too not too long after that and it’ll be the same with us totally totally good stuff okay we’ll be back to the studio stay tuned for that we’ll see you again Soon
