The True Temper Project X Titan is a unique driver shaft. It is the closest driver shaft to resemble the Nippon Modus3 130 or the KBS Tour V iron shafts. Then losing stiffness more or less uniformly from the midsection to the tip. Those shafts were designed to launch low so it is understandable that True Temper states “The progressively stiffer mid and tip sections work together to deliver the penetrating, low-launch and low-spin trajectory that elite players demand for tighter dispersion and increased distance.”

Mitsubishi Vanquish Green Driver Shaft Review

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.

Fujikura Ventus TR Red Golf Shaft Review

A small sample of the 2026 Fujikura Ventus TR Red Velecore+ shafts were available to me. As you can see it is an unusual profile. As we have seen in the past from Fujikura, this shaft is new paint on an earlier design. There are subtle differences but essentially this is the 2025 Ventus Blue. I measured a small sample of the 2025 Ventus Blue but never published a review.

Mitsubishi Tensei 1K Series Red Driver Shaft

The Mitsubishi Tensei 1K Series has been my most popular fitting choice recently. The 1K carbon fiber in the handle dramatically enhances hoop strength in the butt of the shaft. This results in less deformation of the shaft the load changes from linear down the shaft to lateral as the elbow and wrist unhinge. My clients experience jaw dropping improvements is dispersion. They can swing to their athletic potential rather than reducing swing speed to control their golf shaft.

This is my first look at the Red version of the Tensei 1K Series.
