We already have a draw at the Ryder Cup | Which driver shafts play in the game this week?

The Ryder Cup is not time to tinker. Once you get there, you are locked up in your equipment and you want to grind practice days and focus on more important things such as how you can approach each hole, that best goes on and against with whom, and ensure that the clubs in your bag perform exactly as they should be. Some players will even go so far to place older trusted equipment in the bag that they know are 100% confident instead of taking the slightly higher -performing option in which they might only be 5% less confident. This is the world stage. Leave nothing to chance. Let’s look at the driver’s axes of the Ryder Cup 2025.

Drivers axes at the 2025 Ryder Cup

One of the most personal decisions that a player can make for their bag is which driver setup and more specifically which driver shaft they will play. This year we already have a draw at the Ryder Cup 2025. Mitsubishi and Fujikura both have 10 driver shafts in the game, with graphite design, Project X, UST Mamiya and La Golf each in a single bag.

The more interesting discovery here is that the Mitsubishi side is dominated by their Diana family, while the Fujikura side is dominated by their Ventus family. The intriguing aspect here is that this would not necessarily be competing families. Diana is usually for players with a little more intentional action in their swing and offers a little more feeling, more similar to Fujikura’s Speyer family. The Ventus of Fujikura is aimed at the “Slagman” -the players who let go of everything they have on the golf ball, usually less worried about the feeling and more worries about raw power, which is more like the Mitsubishi spensei -Line -Up.

Keep here in mind that when we talk about ash profile, we are talking about the structure of the wave swing from transition to impact. Speed ​​is not a relevant factor. These guys all swing very fast. What is important to them is how the shaft behaves during their golf swing, and that is where profile comes into play. If you look at the players in Diana and Ventus, it is logical fairly quickly. Here is the list on the Diana side.

Team

Justin Thomas and Patrick Cantlay are in the Gen4 Diana Zf

Shane Lowry and Colin Morikawa are in the Diana D+ Limited

Tyrell Hatton is in the Gen5 Diana TB

Xander Schauffele is in the Gen5 Diana PD

Justin Rose is in the Gen6 Dianana WB

Mitsubishi Chemical Diana WB Wood Shaft

The board is back. After a few years away, the vintage surfboard always returns associated with Diana ™ with Diana WB. WB is built on an extremely popular and Tour-Conserved Platform and offers classic low-run performance and the legendary stability and control that you expect after two decades. The first in the 6th generation Diana ™ family, WB is designed with all the traditional branding that Diamana ™ made so loved, including flowers in the handle area, a surfboard behind the Diana logo, and returns to the original 53/63/83 weight class indications. But rest assured, the only thing that Throwback about Diana ™ WB is the appearance. Super High-Modulus 80-Ton Diceead Pitch fiber is indeed used in the butt part to deliver maximum stability and increased energy transfer and high modulus 46-ton fiber is used in the angle of the axis to reduce the torque without increasing the weight for improved control and stability. Carbon fiber orientation in the tip section has been optimized to further lower the torque. The classic feeling of this Diana ™ profile is achieved by using our own XLINK Tech ™ resin system and MR70 technologies. Our XLink Tech ™ resin system increases the strength and durability of the shaft while the carbon fiber volume is reduced for a better feeling. Feel and power is further increased by the use of our MR70 fiber in the space quality-our strongest fiber so far.

The first thing you will notice with Team Diana is that most of them are in profiles that they have been playing for a long time. Colin and Shane have already been to Diana D+ Limited as long as I can remember that they can remember equipment stories about their bags, JT returned to his familiar ZF from years ago, even after working with the Mitsubishi team for the most part of the season on a Diana JT Prototype (with which he won), and Cantly. If Tyrell Hatton once leaves the Diana TB, I think that’s the day that he is retiring, and the classic swing of Justin Rose was actually made for the Diana Whiteboard profile. And finally, the Diana PD has an incredibly soft handle that leads to a super stiff tip section that helps to create tons of delay in Xander’s powerful swing. Mark Immelman has done fantastic work by splitting his swing on the Traveler’s Championship last year

On the Ventus side we have a couple of guys who just go after the golf ball on every T -T shirt. RAW Power, less intentionally in their wave fluctuations.

Rory Mcillroy, Scottie Scheffler, John Rahm, Ludvig Aberg and JJ Spaun (VELO+) are all in the Ventus Black.

Tommy Fleetwood and Harris English are in Ventus TR Blue

Sam Burns, Sepp sleek (VELO+) and Sam Burns are all in Ventus Blue.

Again, these are shafts that have been in these bags for a while. The OG Ventus Black was released in 2019, but you have to pry that shaft from Mcillroy’s cold dead hands. Even the TR profiles are already 4 years old. Only Spaun and tighta have entered the newer VELO+ profiles.

Immelman also broke Rory’s Swing. Pay attention to the different ways in which he describes their transition and the center of their golf fluctuations. Xander lets the profile of the Diana axle help him generate delay and speed. Rory On the downside of the coin, his hands tears to the ball and needs a more linear profile to stay with him during that aggression. Two different types of aggression, built for different profiles.

Driver shafts make me go. Excited to view both teams this week and in my head I count the points here for Diana V Ventus just as I want for the actual classification. In case you wondered that the only other Fujikura shaft in the field is the Speedher TR of Viktor HOVOLAND, and the three other Mitusbishi shafts are all tense products. Fitzpatrick is in an older AV Raw Orange, Cam Young is in the new 1K Pro Orange and Rasmus is in a 1K Pro Blue.
