Explaining the unique tipping of Fujikura’s Axiom iron shafts and how golfers benefit
Fujikura’s new Axiom iron shaft line utilizes the same VeloCore Technology featured in both Ventus and Ventus TR shafts, and the unique tipping properties of Axiom shafts allow more of that technology to function in the shaft where golfers need it most.
As a refresher VeloCore technology is a multi-material bias core construction technique designed to deliver stability through transition and impact to maximize clubhead MOI. Shafts feature full-length, ultra-high modulus pitch 70 ton carbon fiber, which is 150-percent stronger and more stable than T1100g and 40 ton bias layers for feel.
According to Fujikura, Axiom shafts deliver increased ball speeds from better and more consistent center-face contact and produce tighter dispersion.
GolfWRXers and club building geeks will doubtless be interested in another unique element of Axiom. As Fujikura’s product and brand manager, Spencer Reynolds, explains, tipping is totally different with these shafts.
What does Fuji mean by “three-part parallel” shafts and what are the implications for weight and tipping? And more importantly, why does Fujikura believe this is the best method for maximizing the shaft technology available to the golfer?

With the Pro iron series it makes soft/hard stepping a breeze. I play Fuji Pro 95’s reg flex. I also play a half set (4H, 6, 8, PW). Would love to try these in the 105 weight range, but they are only available in stiff flex. How would one achieve a reg flex in this weight category. That is my only concern. I can achieve this with the PW by not tipping the shaft, but how to get the 6 and 8 like this is the real question. I could just change up my half set to say a 5H, 7, 9, GW but again stuck with soft stepping the 9.

Still trying to sell these as a better way, when Fuji said in the forums they didnt create a constant weight discrete length shafts cause that was too many SKUs.
If you created a constant weight discrete length set, you could put the velocore in the exact correct spot for every club. Why would I want the velocore to be 1 inch higher from the tip in my 5 iron as compared to by 8 iron.
