Fujikura Atmos Orange Shaft Review – Specs, Flex, Weight

Have you seen the Fujikura Atmos Orange being sold secondhand and have been intrigued about it only to find that there is almost no information on it?

There’s a good reason for that.

Turns out that the Fujikura Atmos Orange is a proprietary shaft that was made specifically for the Taylormade M6 driver. This makes it an extremely rare shaft that no one knows much about…except  us. We got our hands on the Fujikura Atmos Orange, tested it and recorded our findings in the following review. Read on to learn everything you need to know about the Fujikura Atmos Orange.

Fujikura Atmos Orange Shaft Overview

First things first: the Fujikura Atmos Orange doesn’t not look like the typical Atmos shafts.

Most people are used to seeing the Atmos Blue, Red and Black shafts with their Tour White base color. But the Fujikura Atmos Orange has a black base coat with gray, red and white amoeba-like graphics near the grip section. Overall, it’s a good looking shaft and doesn’t call as much attention to it as the Red, Blue and Black Atmos shafts.

Right away, the Fujikura Atmos Orange feels very light in the hands. This is a 50g weight class shaft so it was certainly intended for players with slower swing speeds. The Fujikura Atmos Orange feels fast on the downswing and there is a clear bend point in the high tip section. The transition feels rapid, sort of like a bolt of lightning. Before you know it, your ball is being launched hot and high into the air.

There is a lot of action in this shaft but it all seems to occur very quickly. It’s hard to pinpoint how it feels because the transition is over before you can get a good handle on it. But there is nothing shocking about it which leads me to conclude that the overall feel is smooth. The feedback is certainly clear. Whether you hit the ball flush or hit the perimeter of the face, you can feel it in the shaft. Most of the testers said that the Fujikura Atmos Orange felt fast and I agree. But with a swing speed like mine, there was a bit too much whip in this shaft.

Why is the Fujikura Atmos Orange So Popular?

I would contend that this is actually not a popular shaft since it is so rare.

The Fujikura Atmos Orange is not available through Fujikura’s aftermarket catalog so the only way to get it is secondhand or if you buy a new Taylormade M6. But it is a very good shaft that would work for a lot of slow swing speed players.
