We therefore recommend the Tensei shafts in fittings at any time.
This entry was posted in Driver Shafts, Mitsubishi Chemical, Russ Ryden - Fit2Score on Septemby Russ. The shaft quality of all delivered shafts is checked by us and it is very high for the Tensei shafts by the bank. Its always nice to see that a technical improvement in a golf product actually results in improved performance and is not just more marketing hype. That in a shaft with a softer tip than he has in his gamer. Mark commented during the tests that the tip of the Kuro Kage with the TiNi felt more stable. That gave us an opportunity to test the fiber by comparing the two shafts with a PGA tour quality ball striker, Mark Maness.Īs you can see from this composite FlightScope report, the TiNi material did indeed add distance, reducing launch and spin with a slight increase in club head speed. The difference between the previous version of the KUROKAGE Silver and the 2014 model is the addition of 8 inches of Titanium Nickel wire in the tip section. Those using the X flex models need the control of low torque. Evidence of player profiling design, the players using the R & S will load the shaft less and get more feel from higher torque. What we do see in the Kuro Kage Silver TiNi is slightly higher torque in the R & S flex models than the Diamana and Fubuki series. And this shaft proves the manufacturing technology exists.
In a marketplace where every driver shaft has a rotating hosel, we should expect no less. I cannot ever remember having 6 shafts in my hand that at most, varied by 1 CPM from hard to soft plane. While this is a mid priced shaft, $300 MSRP, in the Mitsubishi family of golf shafts you would not know that by looking at the radial quality. The Mitsubishi Chemical KURO KAGE XD utilizes premium 40-Ton and 46-Ton carbon fiber as well as an ultra-long application of the TiNi Wire prepreg in the. Both have a slight mid zone stiffness bump, like the Diamana White Board with that bump occurring closer to the tip in the Kuro Kage Silver to promote a little higher launch. High Density Prepreg is positioned in the lower third of the shaft for enhanced feel and stability. Mitsubishis signature 'smooth' bend profile offers balanced stiffness along the entire shaft length. The Fubuki K and its predecessor, the Fubuki Tour continue to stiffen from 11″ to the tip, while the Kuro Kage Silver softens. Kuro Kage Black Hybrid features a stable and versatile profile, to match the playing characteristics of the Kuro Kage wood series. The EI Bend Profile Signature is similar to the Fubuki K. The KuroKage line was the first of the Mitsubishi products to use high density pregreg, The Kuro Kage shafts have this high density material added to the lower third of the shaft. The graphics are slightly different and the tip bears the TiNi logo used on Mitsubishi shafts with Titanium Nickel wire tip reinforcement. The Mitsubishi Kuro Kage Silver has been updated in 2013 with the addition of 8 inches of Titanium Nickel Wire wrapped into the tip section of the shaft. The Golf Center at the Highlands, Carrollton Texas It’s a more costly, time consuming process but it creates a stunning finish that we think is worth the extra time.Mitsubishi KURO KAGE Silver with TiNi By Russ Ryden, Fit2Score, A Dallas Fort Worth Club Fitter & Club Maker The shaft is put into a vacuum chamber where chrome or silver alloy ions are fused to the shaft. The Ion Plating process creates a sophisticated, premium finish that cannot be achieved just by applying paint. The Result: Added strength with enhanced feel. Mitsubishi's Low Resin Content (LRC) prepreg, with up to 15% more carbon fiber and 13% less resin than traditional prepregs allows us to create a higher density of carbon fibers without adding additional weight. This allows for tighter shot dispersion, even for players with a high swing speed. Integrating TiNi with carbon fibers in the tip-section allows energy to be loaded and unloaded with great efficiency when the wire stretches, while providing extra strength and stability to the tip. Titanium Nickel (TiNi) Wire is a premium elastic wire that immediately springs back to original shape when stretched.
Featuring a softer mid-section to promote increased launch, the addition of TiNi wire in the tip-section to the XM series provides maximum stability through impact for this profile delivering a potent combination of power and control in this higher launching product. Made exclusively at our facilities in Tokyo, Japan the new KURO KAGE™ XM profile features the same two key technologies found in the XT Series: Low Resin Content (LRC) Prepreg and Titanium Nickel (TiNi) Wire.
