CH3 in the photos had it too. I couldn't tell what it was. Thought it was a Seven shaft from Japan. Interesting.

No idea what player it fits, but love the look of it.

I'm guessing Ryan Moore will bag it after hitting a few on the range.

This! It looks mean

[shigenobu72]

It looks like there is some woven materials up near towards the butt.

You are correct. We have been working with a variety of custom material for next generation products. This particular product has a CARBON/KEVLAR weave featuring Carbon Fiber from Mitsubishi Rayon. We are in the early stages of testing and launching this new brand so stay tuned. More to come!

New Brand? Interesting. MRC is a fantastic brand, perhaps aiming at a lower price point?

Doesn't MRC also own Aldila?

I like the look, Kuro Kage is a fantastic line, if this is a line extension of MRC, let's hope it's as awesome as the KK line.

What shafts has Ryan Moore been gaming previously? Perhaps a clue to this shafts profile?

The new Brand is called TENSEI (Meaning "Transformation" in Japanese) - Keep you eyes open for it over the coming months -- we are very excited about this new Brand as well as several other new profiles we have coming. New brands take time to develop and grow, TENSEI is just getting started!

Regarding MRC/ALDILA... we operate separately but share the same parent company in Japan. And regarding what shafts players are using stay tuned.... and let me know what you see during the Playoffs!

I still play original whiteboard and Blueboard - would love to see those brought back...

They still sell them, I don't understand. Plus there are four newer versions of similar profiles so there are plenty of options...

I just read the press release about Tensei on the MRC website. It describes the Tensei Blue as having the traditional MRC "smooth" profile, being available in 50-, 60- and 70-gram versions, and having a suggested price of $250. How will the Tensei differ from the S+ shaft in the current Diamana line?

Interesting thread that I will certainly be following more closely.

[MMB1500]

Any more news on the Tensei? Loving the sound of this shaft - smooth, mid launch and spin could fit me very nicely. I'm assuming this 'blue' profile is along the lines of the Blue Board, S+ etc?

Actually - I just found the answer to my own question. Specs up on the MRC website.

I'm liking the sound of this as well. I love the b series so this shaft has caught my eye. Looks pretty sweet too. Wonder what the price will be on this bad boy

Edit: never mind saw the retail price is $250

[MMB1500]

Any news on when these are going to be available?

[rpaige88]

I can't wait to try this and the new XM shaft in their 70 gram versions.

[jpenner92]

+1 on the looks, I prefer the look of the Tensei far and beyond the S+

[scratchskier]

I have one for sale. DM me, has nike sleeve on it.

Any new reviews or feedback on the Tensei shaft? How does it feel and launch? What kind of flight are you guys seeing from the shaft?

[MMB1500]

I'm playing a Tensei 60S in my driver. I like it a lot actually. I can't comment on any stats or real world results as I've only hit in a sim, but initial impressions are very good. Nice smooth feel, mid launch and, I'm guessing, mid-ish spin - those are shafts that tend to work for me quite well. I actually prefer it to my AD-DI. Dispersion is better and, for me, it's a tad longer.
