RETURN COSTS & RESTOCKING FEE (ASSEMBLED ITEMS)
🚫 No Returns or Refunds on Assembled Shafts
Please note that all assembled shaft orders are final. Due to the custom nature of this process, we do not accept returns or offer refunds on any assembled shafts. Each order is built to your specifications, and once assembly begins, we are unable to restock or resell the components.
We encourage you to double-check all specs (flex, length, grip, adapter, etc.) before placing your order. If you need help confirming details, our team is happy to assist before you check out.
Returns can be made on non-personalized items and non-assembled items within the US, 60 days after you've received the original order. Items are only accepted on unopened and unused products. Items must be returned in the original packaging.

Fujikura Air Speeder Driver & Fairway Shaft (2025)
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The Fujikura Air Speeder is the lightest wood shaft on Fujikura's current chart, redesigned for 2025 for golfers who need help with club speed and height more than they need help with spin. It launches high with mid spin and a low bend point, and the whole idea is a shaft you can swing faster without trying harder. This is the raw shaft: 46" uncut, 3.0" parallel tip, 0.335" tip diameter, in four options from a 35 R3 at 40.5 g to a 40 S at 48 g. If you build your own clubs or have a shop you trust, this is the listing you want.

Who It's For
Good fit if you...
- Swing a driver under about 90 mph and want more carry from a higher peak height
- Feel like you're working too hard to get a heavier shaft moving
- Need a real ladies or senior flex, since this one runs from R3 up to S
- Build your own clubs or have a fitter who'll cut, tip and install it for you
Not the right fit if you...
- Swing much over 90 mph or already hit it too high. A shaft this light gets harder to control as speed goes up. The Ventus White keeps the weight down but adds a firm tip and the VeloCore+ core
- Want one simple option with no flex decision. The Sakura 40 is 47.5 g in a single lite flex, high launch with a touch more spin
- Want it cut to length with the adapter and grip already on, ready to screw into your driver. Order the assembled Air Speeder instead
How It Plays
Light enough to change your club speed. At 40.5 to 48 g, every option is lighter than a Ventus White, and the 35 R3 is the lightest row on the chart. Fujikura's stated goal for the 2025 redesign was more swing speed, more ball speed, a higher peak and more carry. For the golfer it's built for, the extra speed comes from the club getting out of the way, not from swinging harder.
High launch, mid spin, low bend point. The low bend point and high torque let the shaft load easily and help the ball up without you forcing it. Every flex carries the same launch and spin rating. What changes as you move from R3 to S is weight, stiffness and torque.
Torque is high, and that's on purpose. It runs from 9.0 in the R3 to 7.5 in the S, roughly double a Ventus. At the swing speeds this shaft is for, that twist is what gives it the smooth, easy-loading feel. If your move from the top is quick and aggressive, you'll feel that twist as looseness, and that's your sign to look at the Ventus White instead.
Picking a flex, and what to tip
- Go by swing speed first. Our fitting guidance: R3 under 60 mph, R2 about 60 to 70, R about 70 to 80 and S about 80 to 90. Fujikura doesn't publish speed ranges, so these are ours.
- Tempo breaks the tie. Between two flexes, a smooth tempo takes the softer one and a quick move from the top takes the stiffer one. The S is where we'd start most golfers in the mid 80s who want to try an ultralight shaft.
- Adapter needed for an adjustable hosel. The 0.335" tip fits every current driver and fairway sleeve in our shaft adapters. Epoxy it yourself, or order the assembled listing and we install it set to your hosel setting.
- Tip trimming. Fujikura's chart is 0" for a driver or 3 wood, 0.5" for a 5 wood, 1.0" for a 7 wood and 1.5" for a 9 wood, and every inch you tip plays roughly one flex stiffer. Those are suggestions only, and the chart doesn't recommend tipping a driver or 3 wood shaft at all. On a shaft this soft, tipping a 5 wood the 0.5" on the chart is a sensible way to firm it up a hair.
Specifications
| Model | Flex | Weight (g) | Tip Flex | Butt Flex | Torque | Butt Dia. | Bend Pt. | Spin | Launch |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Air Speeder 35 | R3 | 40.5 | 166 | 140 | 9.0 | 0.590 | Low | Mid | High |
| Air Speeder 40 | R2 | 44.5 | 156 | 122 | 8.5 | 0.595 | Low | Mid | High |
| Air Speeder 40 | R | 46.5 | 146 | 106 | 8.0 | 0.600 | Low | Mid | High |

Graphite. Raw length 46", parallel tip section 3.0", tip diameter 0.335" (our measurement; the tip diameter isn't on Fujikura's chart). Tip flex and butt flex are Fujikura's stiffness ratings; within a model, the stiffer flex has the lower number. Fujikura's chart lists the R3 as the Air Speeder 35 and the other three as the Air Speeder 40. Our dropdown groups all four under the 40 Series. Same four shafts.

How the Lightweight Fujikura Shafts Compare
| Shaft | Launch | Spin | Bend Point | Weight | Flexes We Sell | Our Speed Guide |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Air Speeder (You're here) | High | Mid | Low | 40.5 to 48 g | R3, R2, R, S | Up to 90 mph |
| Sakura 40 | High | Mid-high | Low | 47.5 g | One lite flex | Under 75 mph |
| Ventus White | High | Mid-high | Low | 49.5 g | R2, R, S | 70 to 95 mph |
Launch, spin and bend point are Fujikura's ratings. The speed column is our fitting guidance from building these for customers, not a Fujikura number. Want a light shaft with the VeloCore+ core, a multi-material bias core that keeps the tip from twisting on off-center hits? That's the Ventus White. The whole brand lineup is in The Fujikura Shaft Guide.
