Mitsubishi Rayon brought a new shaft, the Tensei CK Series Blue, to the PGA Championship for testing, and it is now in Charl Schwartzel’s driver. Other pros are testing it, too. Avery Reed, the company’s PGA Tour marketing rep, recently talked with Golfweek about the shaft.
What makes this shaft different from other Mitsubishi Rayon shafts?
The story with the Tensei CK Series is really about the use of multimaterials. We have a carbon-Kevlar weave in the butt section of the shaft. On the shaft, in the butt section, you can actually see the weave itself.
