UST Mamiya claims to be setting a new standard in graphite shafts with the launch of the Proforce AXIVCore series. The shafts integrate a ‘true weave of four modulus carbon fibres all in one ply of material' - or four-axis material - within the inner walls of the butt to add stability and consistent shaft recovery. The counter-balanced shafts are also designed to reduce club heft, so golfers can increase clubhead speed and hence, shot distance. The new shafts come in Blue, Tour Black and Tour Red models, and with multiple weights and flexes.
