According to discussions on several trusted golf forums, Fujikura is expected to unveil a new generation of 2026 Ventus TR+ shafts, possibly branded as the “Ventus TR Plus”, as the flagship driver and fairway wood shaft line for the 2026 season.
As of November 2025, the 2026 Ventus TR models have not yet been officially announced, but early information points to a release window in late 2025 or early 2026, aligning with the launch cycle of other major 2026 golf equipment lines.
While official specifications and performance details remain under wraps, the current Ventus TR series is celebrated for its enhanced torsional stiffness, lower launch, and reduced spin compared to the original Ventus shafts , traits that are likely to be refined even further in the upcoming generation.

If you’re in the market for a high-performance driver or fairway wood shaft, the “Ventus” family from Fujikura has been a benchmark. With the current Ventus TR lineup already in place, the Ventus TR Blue model is widely regarded as one of the sweet spots for many players. With whispers that a 2026 Ventus TR+ Blue version is on the horizon, here’s what we anticipate, and why you’ll want to keep an eye on it.

Why the Ventus family matters
The original Ventus models (Blue, Red, Black, etc) leveraged Fujikura’s VeloCore technology: a multi-material bias core using full-length ultra-high modulus Pitch 70 Ton carbon fiber, designed to maximize clubhead stability through transition and impact. Reviews of the Ventus Blue highlight its “mid-launch/low-spin” design, improved feel and consistency for a broad range of golfers.
Then Fujikura introduced the Ventus TR line, built on top of the Ventus line to enhance torsional stability further by integrating a “Spread Tow” carbon fabric plus VeloCore. The idea: reduce twist and deformation during transition & downswing, tightening dispersion. From the official spec for the TR line:
“With VeloCore Technology providing an incredibly stable platform … the additional integration of a unique Spread Tow carbon fabric … increase torsional stiffness in this specific section, helping to even further reduce twist and ovalization during the swing.” Fujikura Golf
So the combination means the TR version is marketed as offering “enhanced stiffness and reduced launch and spin” vs the original Ventus.
What the TR Blue profile currently offers
Within the TR lineup, the Blue version is described as mid-launch, low-spin, with an ultra-stiff tip section for better control for aggressive swings.
Here are key spec ideas (from the existing TR Blue) to anchor predictions:
-
It uses the Spread Tow fabric plus VeloCore.
-
Its bend profile labels: Tip = Ultra-Stiff, Mid = Stiff, Handle = Stiff
-
It’s positioned as a “powerful combination of stability and feel … for more aggressive swings while maintaining a smooth overall feel.”
So in practical terms if you swing with speed and want control (lower spin, stable flight), TR Blue is a strong candidate.
What to expect of the 2026 Ventus+ TR Blue
Given the above, here are our predictions for how Fujikura might evolve the TR Blue for 2026 (or next-generation), and why those changes matter for you:
1. Even greater torsional/stability enhancements
Since the TR line already added Spread Tow fabric to the mid/handle section to reduce twist, we expect the next version might push this further: perhaps a lighter, higher-modulus fabric, refined layering or core geometry to improve load/energy transfer, while keeping or reducing weight.
Why this matters: Reduced shaft deformation means less energy lost, tighter dispersion (especially on off-center hits) and more stable face contact, key when you’re swinging hard or trying to control trajectory.
2. Slightly lower spin (while maintaining launch)
The TR Blue currently targets mid-launch, low-spin. For 2026, Fujikura may refine the tip/shaft loading to maintain that launch but drive spin even a notch lower, appealing for players using low-spin drivers, or those who struggle with ballooning drives.
Why this matters: Lower spin with high launch = more roll-out, more carry consistency, better performance in windy conditions.
3. Refined feel and smoother transition
One of the challenges with ultra-stiff tips and butt/handle sections is the shaft can feel harsh or boardy. Given feedback (for any shaft line) the next version may introduce subtle refinements in vibration damping, butt/trimming options, or shaft wall construction to give the feel of stability but with more “good feel”.
Why this matters: Feel matters, you want performance AND a shaft that inspires confidence at address and through the swing.
4. More flex/weight options (tour-ready)
To cater to high swing speeds and elite players, we might see more ultra-stiff (X, TX) or higher-weight options (75 g+), plus perhaps lighter versions for players with intermediate speeds. Plus refinements in tip/trimming directions to fine-tune launch/spin.
Why this matters: The more options, the better your fit, correct shaft weight/flex is key to maximizing performance.
5. Updated aesthetics and branding
While not directly performance-related, new color accents, subtle graphics, and updated branding are typical for “next generation” releases. The 2026 Ventus TR Blue might adopt a new finish, branding that emphasises “TR2” or “Next Gen”, or special edition versions.
Why this matters: It helps your gear look current; sometimes a new release also signals changes in materials/tech.
Who should consider the 2026 Ventus TR+ Blue?
Based on the profile and expected improvements, you should strongly consider this shaft if you:
-
Swing speeds 100 mph+ (driver) and are looking for stability and control.
-
Want a mid-to-low spin performance (to reduce ballooning drives or increase roll).
-
Have felt that current “regular” Ventus Blue or other shafts are “a little too soft” in transition or you struggle with dispersion.
-
Are seeking premium feel and premium price point (this is high-end gear).
-
Are being custom fitted (this is absolutely recommended).
In contrast, if you have a slower tempo, lower swing speed, or need more launch/spin, then maybe the 2026 Ventus TR+ Blue is too much for your swing; you might want to wait for more “forgiving” versions or look at the standard Ventus line.
Fit and setup tips (for best performance)
-
Get a proper fitting: Shaft performance is highly dependent on your driver head, swing speed, attack angle, and tempo.
-
Match to your driver head: The TR Blue’s lower-spin profile works better with adjustable heads set for stability and moderate loft.
-
Consider trimming and flex: The shaft’s stiffness profile means that trimming (shorter length) or flex up/down changes can significantly affect launch and spin.
-
Monitor launch/spin/pop off face: The benefit of the TR line is improved face impact consistency — check that your numbers improve (or dispersion tightens) over your prior shaft.
-
Don’t over-cut for stiffness: Because the TR line is built for stability, over-stiffening by trimming too much could degrade feel or increase hooking. Be cautious.
When will it release & pricing (educated guess)
While Fujikura has already launched TR versions (including Blue) the 2026 ventus+ TR lineup suggests a “refresh” rather than a completely new line. Expect:
-
Release window: possibly late 2025 or early 2026 (so you may want to stay tuned).
-
MSRP: likely in the ~$350 USD range, similar to current ventus TR models.
-
Initial availability: through authorised Fujikura dealers and fitting centres (so get on a waiting list).
-
Possible limited editions: early adopters may want to reserve special colour or weight versions.
Why your tee shot game could leap ahead
Putting all of this together: when you swing hard and want a shaft that maximises energy transfer, controls spin and trajectory, and tightens your dispersion, Fujikura's Ventus TR+ Blue (2026) is poised to be one of the top-end offerings. The combination of VeloCore + Spread Tow fabric means improved stability, which helps you hit more consistent drives and worry less about shaft deformation.
