The Tensei Pro 1K White is among my favorite fitting shafts. The carbon fiber weave below the butt adds hoop strength and the firm mid is a great fit for skilled swings. A new shaft in the Tensei 1k model gets my immediate attention. This shaft lacks the “Pro” designation in its name so I had some concern that is lacked the same carbon kevlar weave below the handle as i see in the Pro models. Comparing hoop deformation to the White Pro 1K I don’t see any difference between shafts of the same weight and stiffness. And that is great news in a no upcharge OEM shaft.

Mitsubishi Diamana BB Driver Shaft Review

I have been fitting with Mitsubishi Diamana Golf Shafts since I started my fitting business. The Blue Board Archetype is the most copied shaft profile in the business. The soft mid profile delivers forgiveness to the often erratic tempo of many recreational golfers. the last three generations of the Diamana have changed very little. The Diamana BB is a significant change.

This chart compares the torque of the last four generations of the Diamana Blue golf shafts. Mitsubishi tells us high modulus 46 ton fiber was used in the bias plies and 80 ton fiber is used in the butt section of the Diamana BB. It is evident that torque, as claimed, has been reduced. The torque of the BB is 0.4 degrees lower than earlier models.
