The problem is others aren’t so fortunate I would love for Fujikura to replace the breaks regardless, but there are two scenarios at play here: 1. The person who broke the shaft bought the shaft from someone other than an authorized dealer , such as buying second hand 2. If the person bought from an authorized dealer and is not getting the shaft replaced, the authorized dealer is not being persistent enough with Fuji on this. as a dealer, i got the "we don't normally warranty this type of break, but..."

rkj427 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Also haver a couple TR shafts here, a 5S and a 6S but both came from a Fuji dealer I know in GA for me to test along with a couple driver heads. Honestly only used the 6S one time on range, have been playing with a TR 5S and Ventus Black 5S for about 6 rounds and about 6 or so range sessions to get them dialed into my game. No issues with any of them, and from what I saw on the other site related to breakage, both the possibility of counterfeits and some type of unusual loading damaging the shaft fibers in the middle should be considered. Although some stated they purchased shaft from a dealer, no one admits to doing anything out of the ordinary which may have damaged them either. I also saw a video where it was NOT recommended to perform a stretching exercise by holding the shaft at opposite ends while making swing motion moves as that could also potentially cause unusual stresses on the shaft.

My guess is if there is a problem outside of the breaks we’ve seen in the Blue TR it’s more from amateurs leaning on the shaft when placing a tee or picking one up or some similar type stress. not saying these higher handicps aren’t causing it with heel shots.

juspoole Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I've had a Ventus Blue TR with no issues. Before that the standard Ventus Blue Velocore with no issues. Hope I'm not setting myself for an issue now that I've put this out there. The original Ventus Black Velocore was actually the club I was fit into a couple years ago. The Blue has been pretty good for me, but I'm wondering if I could see lower spin with something not too stiff from the black. I also need something that isn't incredibly low launching so that and the stiffness were the reasons I decided blue. bens197 and edingc 2 Quote Driver: Mavrik Sub Zero 9* (Set to 10) Ventus Blue 6X 2 Hybrid: TSI3 Hybrid Tensei Blue 80 X (17.25*) 3 Hybrid 818 H2 Hybrid Hzrdus RDX Black 6.5 (20.5*) 4 Iron - T200 4 Iron Graphite Design Tour AD IZ X Hybrid Shaft Irons 5-PW: T100-S 5 - GW KBS Tour 130 X Gap/Sand Wedge: Vokey SM6 49* SM8 54* Lob Wedge: Jaws 5 Wedge 58* DG Tour Issue Stiff Putter: Phantom 5.5 34" Pro Platinum Newport 2 35" Taylormade Tour Black Spider 34" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just skeptical that this is the only site where the red has been reported as having problems. Definitely could be and that makes a lot of sense!
