![]() ![]() The tip stiff design should make it slightly higher spinning than the Diamana and therefore launch it high, which makes you feel good. I have to declare that I have a soft spot for Kuro Kage shafts as whenever I have tested a club with it in, it has gone like a rocket. I did like it from a performance point of view, but feel-wise I preferred the Diamana and this goes to show how much of choosing the right shaft comes down to personal preference. That could be due in part to the balance of the shaft, which to me seemed to be more towards the grip end of the club, ideal for those who prefer to feel the shaft rather than the head. What you notice in the pattern on the shaft is the Carbon Fiber/DuPont™ Kevlar® weave that makes up the shaft.Īll this made the Tensei feel very stable throughout the swing with a slightly heavier feel than the Diamana. This is the most recent of the four shafts and the name is Japanese for 'transformation', which is apt as it uses 11 different materials instead if the more usual 3 to 6. The stability is good with quite a firm feel and I have had this in a hybrid shaft too for a while and with the shorter length it makes it feel very accurate indeed. It generates a little more spin than the Rogue, but it feels lighter so that I could feel where the head was a little more during the swing. The reason is that it is very easy to hit. The S+PLUS Limited Edition is the latest edition and uses a Dialead Pitch Fiber in the butt section of the shaft to increase the stability over the previous blue board that should be familiar to most golfers. This is the colour coding that Mitsubishi use across most of their shaft products, but it is the blue board that you see most. It comes in three profiles, a low launch, low spin white board, a high launch, high spin red board that usually ends up in fairways and the 'Goldilocks' option of the middle of the round blue board to suit most players. The Diamana Blue or Blue Board is one shaft you will probably recognise the most as it has been around for a while. ![]() Mitsubishi Diamana S+PLUS Limited Edition Shaft Review I swing my driver around 100mph, so if you are around this level or higher then this is probably the shaft to go for in stiff as it will be low spin and low torque to reign in your power and point it in the right direction. The results on SkyTrak and anecdotally on the course for accuracy were very good, but it came at a price as this felt the heaviest of the four shafts to me.Īs you swing the weight seemed to be in the middle of the club and the feel was maybe not as good for me as the others. Of the range I tested this was the most consistent shaft, thanks to its lower torque, or amount of twisting through impact because the Silver version is designed with a stiffer tip section.There is a Black version too which has a softer tip for a slightly higher launch with more spin. You may associate the Mitsubishi name with cars or TVs more than golf shafts, but you will recognise some of their shaft names as they have been around for a while and are used by most of the major club manufacturers. When I decided to look at the Mitsubishi Rayon range of shafts I did so with my usual adjustable hosel driver and fairway head, so here is the talk as a take them for a walk. The same pair will fit everyone differently and it depends on how you walk and your foot moves as to whether they work for you. Doing a shaft review is always a difficult thing to do as shafts are like shoes. ![]()
