Fujikura Composite America has been a leader in the golf shaft industry since 1995, when it introduced the iconic Speeder to the PGA TOUR, and is a primary supplier of custom golf shafts to many original equipment manufacturers.

As the first shaft to utilize premium advanced materials, the Speeder led to a popularity surge for the industry, paving the way for future products, as it helped create a new market for premium shafts. Today, Fujikura says it has two primary missions: to produce the “World’s Best Performance Golf Shafts” and bring enjoyment to all golfers.

In 1994 Fujikura expanded the company to the United States from Japan to offer a direct resource to club companies. One year after it made aftermarket shafts for the first time, Fujikura became the PGA TOUR’s top-played shaft for drivers, woods, and hybrids in 2000. For the past two decades, Fujikura has continued to be a top choice for Tour pros globally.

Today, all Fujikura golf shafts are designed through the usage of a proprietary enso 3-D motion capture fitting system, a concept that measures information pre-impact to analyze the shaft’s effect on the clubhead at impact. Afterwards, these swing analysis variables are integrated with ball flight data to help Fujikura’s testing experts, product and material engineers, and in-house designers deliver some of the most innovative graphite shafts on the market today.

As Fujikura looks to the future, it’s focused on ensuring golfers, from pros to amateurs, have the best equipment and best fit to help them play to the best of their abilities. The company remains as dedicated to developing the industry’s next advancement in shaft technology as it was 20 years ago.

Fujikura also supports Folds of Honor, a partnership that has helped fund four full scholarships (every year since 2014) for family members of U.S. military men and women who have died or been disabled in combat.
