Under The Covers Presents: The Clubbies

So on to our first award, and that is going to be for the Shaft of the Year.

Again, these are based on stats that we have been keeping.

So the, the Shaft of the Year is a very popular shaft.

A lot of the big names are using it.

You all know it very well 'cause we say it most of the weeks, and that is the Fujikura Ventus Black.

They're some of the notable names.

You got the Rorys of the world, Scottie Scheffler.

Uh, this also includes the Velcore Plus, so that's gonna be Gary Woodland.

Uh, Viktor Hovland uses the Tour Response, uh, Velcore Plus.

A lot of big names using this, this shaft, um, in a lot of drivers, a lot of clubs.

Matt, what do you have to say about th- this shaft here?

Man, the Ventus, uh, what I like to tell people, "In Ventus we trust." Um, that's kind of my, my go-to.

Uh, it's just taken the world by storm over the last two or three years.

It, it, it really, it's come on tour.

Um, you see a lot of these shafts that people really, like, like bring on and, and some really have staying power.

Um, a few that come to mind, like the Diamanas, they, the white boards, they've, they've been there a long time.

And I think we're gonna see the Ventus line up for the next 10, 15 years, uh, kind of be in the mix of always the best shafts on tour.

Um, you kind of get the one in, one, one-offs every once in a while, but there must be something to this shaft if, if, you know, m- alm- nearly every tour player has at least one Ventus in their bag, um, Black, Blue, uh, or whatever.

But Black is, is the most popular when the tour guys are swinging it that fast.

So, uh, congrats to Fujikura.

Uh, they're a great shaft manufacturer.

Um, and yeah, they're selling like hotcakes, uh, at the stores, that's for sure.

I, I've, I've bought a couple in my day.

Well, you know what they say, "Once you go Ventus, you never go back." [laughs][laughs] Nelly, Nelly Korda even has, you know, all three different colors in her bag.
