4 Key Things to Know About Mitsubishi VANQUISH Shafts

If you’re in the market for a super-premium, ultra-lightweight golf shaft that helps you hit farther, there’s probably not a better shaft on the market than a Mitsubishi VANQUISH shaft.

Here are 4 key things about these Mitsubishi shafts that will help you better understand what they do, and how they do it so well.

They’re Super Lightweight Shafts

When you have a problem with swing speed, but you can’t change flex or other shaft dynamics, you change weight. That is, you lower the golf shaft.

Removing grams from a golf shaft is the only sure-fire way to guarantee that a given golfer can swing faster. It’s simple math, really.

That doesn’t mean that a lighter golf shaft is a golden ticket to better performance on the course, but any player would be able to reap the benefits of increased club head speed from a lighter shaft.

When it comes to weight savings, Mitsubishi VANQUISH shafts truly lead the pack. Take the VANQUISH Blue, for instance - on the low end, it weighs as little as 36 grams.

That’s a featherweight golf shaft if there ever was one. It’s also a shaft that you’ll be able to swing harder, almost regardless of your native swing speed.

Even taking shaft flex, kick point, and launch and spin characteristics out of the equation, that’s a golf shaft you’d be able to swing harder, adding potential yardage to your range.

They Have Soft Bend Profiles, Especially in the Tip and Midsections

The Mitsubishi VANQUISH blue has a relatively medium soft butt section for stability, mated to very soft, very active midsections and tip sections.

This yields a very active shaft that not only flexes favorably, loading with energy as needed for players with slightly slower swing speeds - it also transmits feedback effortlessly.

These are some of the most reflective golf shafts in the industry right now, and that extra bit of stability in the butt section helps communicate things, clear as day.

If you need a shaft that really tells you where your swing went wrong (or right) you could hardly do better than a Mitsubishi VANQUISH. Keep that in mind if sensitivity has been a sticking point for you in the past.

They Produce High Launch and Medium Spin

In addition to the fact that these are some of the best lightweight golf shafts in the game, bar none, they also produce very favorite launch and spin profiles for players that need a slight boost.

Mitsubishi VANQUISH shafts produce pretty high launch profiles across the board, with medium to low kick points. The great thing about this is it translates to carry distance.

If you can’t swing faster or harder, you have to aim up. Literally, you have to hit the ball higher, and that is precisely what these shafts do.

The other thing is that they produce (for most players) just the right amount of spin.

Too much spin can result in the exacerbation or amplification of shot errors. Too little spin and you lack lift which also generates extra carry distance.

Mitsubishi VANQUISH shafts straddle that perfect middle ground, delivering extra carry distance without making any underlying shot biases worse.

They Feature Amorphous Wire Technology and SLRC Technology

Lastly, two other key drivers of performance in VANQUISH shafts are that they are made with Amorphous Wire Technology as well as SLRC technology.

In the first case, amorphous wire is an alloy that has a disordered atomic scale structure, rather than a microcrystalline structure. This means that this wire is very soft and very flexible, and is neither brittle nor inconsistent.

The laymen’s version of this means that these shafts are sensitive, flexible, and consistent. Of course, you already knew all that from what we’ve written so far, but just know that there is real, scientific research underpinning the claim.

The other thing is that these shafts are made with SLRC, or “super low resin content” prepreg material. The carbon fibers of which these shafts are made are bound with less epoxy resin, making them both lighter and stronger.

Again, this is something you already knew based on what we have published, but in the same instance, be aware that there is real technology defending the claim that they are lightweight, active, and consistent.
