(Vista, CA – October 21, 2013) – Fujikura golf shafts were the most played shafts on the Champions Tour this past weekend and were played by the winner of the Greater Hickory Kia Classic at Rock Barn, who used a Fujikura Motore F3 70g in his Adams SL Fast 10.5 Driver and a Motore Speeder 8.1 X in his SL Super 15 degree 3 wood. The winner also led the field in driver distance with an average of 278.8 yards.
PGAtour.com statistics are reporting that all top 3 players leading driving distance on the PGA Tour are using Fujikura golf shafts. Additionally, 3 out of the top 4 in driving accuracy percentage are also playing Fujikura golf shafts.
The Darrell Survey has also reported that Fujikura has moved into the #1 position for most played fairway golf wood shaft brand. Fujikura was also the #1 driver golf shaft brand at two of the biggest golf events of 2013, the Masters and the British Open (also reported by Darrell Survey).
In other recent Fujikura Golf news, the company just launched the highly anticipated NEW Motore Speeder757. The Speeder brand is considered to be the most iconic and sought after golf shaft in shaft brand history. Speeder quickly became the #1 shaft brand on the PGA Tour and has never left the tour since it’s debut in 1998, earning the nickname, “the winningest shaft on tour” for well over a decade.
Fujikura marketing manager, Stephanie Hartgraves confirmed that the shaft is now available at select certified Fujikura Charter Dealers globally. She also gave a statement about the shaft’s performance: “We are beyond excited here at Fujikura because we have really set the bar high with this product, which took a lot of time, engineering, exotic material sourcing, and testing. We had the immense challenge of making the best performing golf club shaft in history, better. Kudos to my team for a successful mission accomplished. Player testing in Japan produced greater distances than competitor shafts in 100% of players. The Speeder757 has only been available since October 1st and our social communities (FB, Twitter, Instagram, Blogs/forums) are already flooded with great stories and ‘Thank You’ messages. It is a fantastic feeling to have such an impact on the game as a shaft company.”
