[Eldenjedi24]

What are the requirements of becoming a tester?

[bcjpgapro]

Loveland, CO

1.9

95-100 mph club head speed

Just purchased a new Ping G430 head and would love to upgrade from the stock HZRDUS Smoke shaft

Strong writing skills

[Golf Scientist]

 

 

1. City, State?

Santa Clarita, CA
2. Handicap?

0
3. What is your swing speed and clubhead speed?

Ranges from 100 mph to 120 mph (haven't recorded 120 on a monitoring device in a couple years although I may have produced it on the course or during non-monitor a couple of times. If that information is being used to determine shaft flex i'd say lean towards the middle or low end for that factor).
4. Why would you like to test the new MCA Vanquish shafts?

The technology story of the MCA Vanquish is very exciting, and makes me wonder about the potentially impressive results the shaft could produce. Beside the performance the shaft is one of the coolest looking shafts I can recall seeing in quite some time.
5. Which Vanquish shaft would you like to test?

Any of the Vanquish 4 shafts would be very appealing to me. I'm currently playing a ~ 44 gram shaft in my driver now so the transition to any of the Vanquish 4 shafts would be a very smooth transition that my swing should quickly mesh with.

6. Are you willing to do an in-depth written review, with high quality photos, and future updates?

Absolutely, When I get new equipment (or shafts) I'm quick to take pictures of it (share it with other golfers I know), and give the companies/reps feedback on my experience with the new equipment. I'd be happy to share the same things here and with MCA.

[wrx_junki]

1. City, State? Bayville, NY
2. Handicap? 4.9
3. What is your swing speed and clubhead speed? ~100mph
4. Why would you like to test the new MCA Vanquish shafts? Have not tried out the lighter weight driver shafts. I am a low launch low spin player and this may help bring back some swing speed, height, and spin for bigger carry numbers. This may match up better than the Ventus Blue 6S that I received with my Srixon ZX5 Mk II LS. Looking forward to seeing the kind of numbers that it may produce for me.
5. Which Vanquish shaft would you like to test? 5S

6. Are you willing to do an in-depth written review, with high quality photos, and future updates? Yes, looking forward to doing in-depth written review, with high quality photos, and follow up reviews as necessary. As a typical golf junkie, I try a lot of different clubs with different shaft combinations and looking forward to reviewing this offering by Mitsubishi. Will provide data via Arccos and Trackman/GCQuad. Photos will be taken with a DSLR camera.

4. Why would you like to test the new MCA Vanquish shafts? I typically get fitted for Mitsubishi shafts for my woods.  I currently game a Diamana x5ct 60 gram shaft in my Ping G425 LST driver and I would love an opportunity to compare it against that shaft.  I also have an AD DI-6S shaft for that driver that I can use to compare.
5. Which Vanquish shaft would you like to test? (Below) 4S, but TBH, I am willing to test any of the stiff shaft options.

6. Are you willing to do an in-depth written review, with high quality photos, and future updates? Absolutely!  I look forward to testing this shaft out and submitting a full multi day test review with launch monitor numbers to back it up.
