The new Vanquish shafts from Mitsubishi Chemical are the latest in a major shift to lighter weight shafts from nearly every major manufacturer.
With the enhanced stability of the newest graphite materials and amorphous wire in the butt section, MCA Golf designers have created a series of light weight shafts that are stable from sub 80 mph driver swing speeds to 110 mph plus!
See our recommendations on which shaft may work for YOUR swing.
Design
- Amorphous wire in the butt section allows for more elasticity which can create more club speed, while still maintaining stability
- Super low resin content prepreg (graphite) material allows the shaft to maintain light weight will maintaining strength for stronger swing speeds.
- Uniquely fortified tip section allows for more consistent center face contact while not creating a harsh feel.
- Consistent feel and design throughout each weight class and flex means easier to fiat a variety of golfers.
- Tight tolerances in each shaft means a better build for custom club fitters and builders.

Our take
These shafts are following the design of many manufacturers: Lighter, stronger, more consistent. Mitsubishi Chemical Golf has long manufactured premium golf shafts like Diamana, Fubuki and Bassara. We expect the Vanquish to perform as stated and will publish our testing results in the next couple of weeks!
