(Vista, CA – August 24, 2015) – According to the Darrell Survey, Fujikura golf shafts were the number one driver and wood shaft brand in the clubs of players at this past weekend’s Wyndham Classic.
Fujikura shafts were all the number one shaft used by players at the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open LPGA event. A total of 156 Fujikura shafts in play at the event overall, which is 35 more than the same event last year. It is yet another indicator that the Fujikura brand is most preferred on tour.

Shaft models in play at both the men’s and woman’s events included Speeder Evolution, PRO, S.I.X., Motore Speeder, Fuel, Speeder PRO and Precurser. The “Precurser” is Fujikura’s prototype brand, which indicates that these models are most likely NEW for 2016 shafts that are currently being tested by pros.
Fujikura has consistently been the #1 golf shaft on tour for more than 30 years, but the company has always put an emphasis on how important being properly fit is at all levels. Contrary to the common misconception that fitting is only for the better player, Fujikura has been able to prove that all golfers that are fit into a Fujikura shaft become better players.
Golfers of all ability levels are living proof that Fujikura shafts are the best golf shafts.
The Darrell Survey recently reported Fujikura as the “#1 Consumer Driver Shaft Brand in the U.S.” after conducting a shaft brand preference study at golf courses across the country. Multiple other surveys from sources such as Golf Digest, Golfweek, Sports Illustrated Golf and Golf WRX have also found that better golfers use Fujikura golf shafts.
Fujikura has stood by their commitment to custom fitting shafts to enhance performance for all golfers regardless of their index or # of rounds played. Instead of focusing on the golfer, they focus on swing data and maximizing a golfer’s ability by optimizing the performance of the golfers clubs based on their individual swing.
http://www.GiveYourOldGameTheShaft.com features golfers of all levels being custom fit and the significant results these golfers saw with a simple re-shaft. That website is part of Fujikura’s educational advertising campaign that is aimed at showing golfers the real benefits of Fujikura golf shafts.
Fujikura Marketing Manager, Stephanie Hartgraves explains how the “Give Your Old Game The Shaft” idea came about.
“Our mission at Fuji is to grow the game of golf by helping golfers play their best golf and enjoy golf to the max. We all know how important custom fitting our golf equipment is, but that is because we are in the industry. Most golfers fall into 4 distinct categories when it comes to their experience with custom fitting. 1) They don’t know what it is. 2) They are familiar with the phrase but don’t really know what it means or how important it is. 3) They have a good idea about what it is and how important it is, but they don’t think they are a good enough player for anything custom 4) The golfers that have been custom fit with the right shaft/head combination and play better golf because of it.
“I figure the easiest way to show golfers in categories 1-3 that getting fit with a Fujikura shaft will produce instant results in distance/accuracy and FUN, is by letting them watch their fellow golfers experience it first hand! The Give Your Old Game the Shaft campaign was simply born from the idea of bottling that experience and sharing it with the rest of golfers. Golf is full of intimidation and these are only acting as barriers to the game. Our #1 goal is to help golfers no longer feel intimidated by the custom fitting process through getting a glimpse at others experiences.
Honestly, my favorite part about going to work every day at Fujikura is seeing and hearing about golfer’s first time fitting experiences and how excited they get for their next round. The boost of confidence alone is incredible to see. And then there’s the Eric’s of the world (one of the golfers at our demo event featured on www.GiveYourOldGameTheShaft.com) that gain 50 yards by switching to Fujikura.
