We have seen carbon fiber shafts with outer wraps of stainless steel wire, here we have a shaft with in inner wrap. The Metal mesh technology is only in the tip of the shaft. This is not the first time Mitsubishi has integrated metal into their shaft prepreg. I have fond memories of the TINI wire used in the KuroKage shafts. Mitsubishi tells us the metal mesh added weight without having to add material which would have change the balance of the shafts. And like the TINI wire, the mesh adds a responsive straighten to the shaft. You will find the Mitsubishi MMT iron shafts offered as an upgrade by several of the major brands.

The Modus3 Tour 115 shaft is now available with the standard Modus3 chrome finish and is in the 2022 Mizuno fitting cart. We now have Nippon Modus3 shafts in 5 weights, 105, 115, 120, 125 and 130. It is important to note that these are more than simple weight options of the same design. The Modus3 120 and the Modus3 130 are radically different designs.
