There have been a lot of ultra light golf shafts released since 2024. The Mitsubishi Vanquish Green is the recent release aimed at this market segment. I remember the Bassara UltraLight Mitsubishi models from 2014 – 2016. This series was discontinued and Diamana models became available in lighter weights. Currently the Diamana models are offered in 40 gram versions. The ultra light Grand Bassara which gets down to 29 and 39 grams is being discontinued. While I typically avoid working with ultra light shafts because of their high torque. I did have a customer that developed his swing around a Grand Bassara and hit it further than anything else I tested. The Vanquish Green is an aftermarket shaft with aftermarket pricing.
