An analysis of the number of shafts sold through fitting services in 2026 found that Fujikura's SPEEDER NX GOLD was the top seller, based on sales from 1 January this year to date. The latest shafts are not included in the analysis.
New shaft products continue to be launched one after another each year, but this ranking is based on sales results at ゴルフショップイシイ, with the period defined as 1 January this year to date. The figures cover the number of shafts actually purchased, and the latest releases are expressly excluded.
The No. 1 shaft was SPEEDER NX GOLD (Fujikura), launched in 2025. One of its notable features is that its design was separated from that of the previous SPEEDER NX GREEN as its successor. The view presented is that its lower handle stiffness and lighter weight can help increase clubhead speed and reduce being late to the ball.
The article also suggests that lighter shafts will be a trend going forward and points to the importance of designs that can support higher MOI, together with MOI measures around the grip. The ranking covered some of the four major shaft manufacturers, and the latest arrivals were not included in this analysis.
This analysis is based on sales results from 「イシイ」 and may differ from results at other stores or in other regions. Further updates will be needed to determine future sales trends and how new products are reflected.
