Mitsubishi BASSARA GRIFFIN!
Mitsubishi Rayon has announced the soon to be released Mitsubishi BASSARA GRIFFIN shaft geared toward the average to better than average golfer. TourSpecGolf has been the first to get a hold of several pieces directly from Japan and will be putting them into test mode soon.
The first thing we noticed was it’s stunning graphics, this could be the sexiest looking shaft we have seen for quite some time. It’s tribal accents and gold yellow color really demands attention without getting ridiculous. Big props to Mitsubishi for using what in our opinion are the best names of any shaft brand. It’s even better that they put a small graphic Griffin beast on it as well.
Built for the Better than Average Golfer!
So far the Bassara Griffin is designed only for taper tip .335 shafts but Mitsubishi still provides a solid batch of options for the consumer to choose from. Available anywhere from 47 grams up to 58 grams this shaft was designed to provide strong stable kick from regular flex coming in at 242 cpm’s all the way up to the Tour Strong 272cpm’s. The Torque numbers are a bit high but we have been promised by Mitsubishi Diamana that the stability and technology in this shaft will give off the impression that it’s much much tighter. I must say many other shaft OEM’s rate their X flex at 272 so this is refreshing for a Japan only shaft.
The official release date is 6/28/2009 in Japan with a retail price around 375.00 USD.
