How far is "quite a ways off" lol 😂

 

With the White, Orange, and soon Blue, would these three round out the premium 1K shaft models @MITSUBISHI CHEMICAL?

This is so awesome, I can go to bed now and dream about gaming 1K White in my driver and 1K Blue in my 3 wood.

Finally!!

1KPB should launch and spin a hair more than KB. 1KPB should feel a bit stiffer in the midsection. Both will feel really, really good with 1K carbon fiber in 1KPB and Super Low Resin Content Prepreg in KB.

That's unfortunately as specific as we can be right now.

Don't forget the 1K Black made for the Titleist drivers!

[gbang15]

The blue looks phenomenal on that shaft... wonder how similar it felt compared to the DI... can't waittt

[Strategery]

Diamana TB vs Tensei 1k Pro Blue. Battle of the blue profile mid/mid beasts. You know you want to see it. Book it TXG!

[jtarble]

Can't wait for this...go ahead and bill me for one.

 

[SaVo_]

watching the featured groups this morning. Hideki has put the blue in his driver today. 

[Bskib]

Saw that as well, had to do a double take that Hideki didn't have some special GD colorway available only to him.  Shaft looks real good on TV

Is Matsuyama playing the new MKII ZX5 LS?

[Hougz79]

Must.  Have.

Great, I just got the TB for driver and GT for 3 metal and they're both money so far.  Now with the official announcement of the 1k TPB, I'm going crazy over here, lol.  I'll probably end up picking one up whenever it's released next year.  Sigh........

[gbang15]

I wasn't a fan of the KB feel wise.  How would the 1K TPB compare against the TB?

If it's anything like it's brothers, it will slaughter all DI's, hehe.

Yeah the torque in the KB is pretty low. I go for the TB as well. Have that in driver and it’s perfect. Just acquired a ZF 70S for a Tsi2 4 wood. Haven’t even installed tip yet. Already have a BF 70S and that’s a nice fairway shaft too. I hope the 1K TPB smoothness is in line with those.

Had the ZF and recently switched to the GT.  Still really smooth but definitely more stout.  Launch and spin are the same as ZF but the ball doesn't curve left as much which is exactly what I was looking for.  Love the TB in my driver but always looking for more ball speed without sacrificing feel or dispersion, lol.
