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?

Kristoffer Reitan just won his first PGA Tour event at the 2026 Truist Championship. He is a Ping staff member and has a complete set of clubs from the brand. He did make a late driver switch this weekend that helped propel him to victory.

Finau’s unique long putter experiment, Webb’s WILD irons | Inside the Ropes | Truist Championship
In this week’s episode of Inside the Ropes from the Truist Championship, Alistair Cameron catches up with Tony Finau, who is in the midst of an interesting long-putter experiment, and Webb Simpson, whose irons must be seen to be believed. Also featuring: Sepp Straka, Ryan Gerard, and much more!
Right now, I am tied for first place in my league! Don’t worry, the wheels will fall off as we get further into the year, but let’s keep the train rolling with 14 brand new clubs this week. We are off on the back nine again, so the driver is back in, and the 7-wood is out, as the course dictates what clubs I tend not to use. Excited to get these New Level irons out there and see if I can catch some of that driver magic I had down at Pinehurst with the Wilson Dynapwr+.

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.
