Mitsubishi Chemical makes some of best golf shafts because we make them from scratch. We not

only manufacture the golf shaft, but all of the critical raw materials that make up the golf shaft

including the monomer, acrylic fiber, carbon fiber, resin, and prepreg. Over the last 30-years, we have

developed more than a thousand different formulations of resin and made over a hundred types of

fiber for many performance-based applications, including golf shafts.

This vertical integration means we can make virtually any combination of resins and fibers required

to optimize a golf shaft’s design and performance. The majority of our competitors, on the other

hand, work with a relatively limited list of raw materials from a finite number of available suppliers.

Typically, they purchase stock prepreg, which can require designs to be adjusted to the limitations of

the available materials. Our ability to make any composition of resin or fiber and combine them into

our own prepreg sets us apart from our competition.

MonomersBasic raw materials consisting of simple molecular

structures (monomers) are combined to produce

Acrylonitrile (AN). AN is then polymerized to form

polyacrylonitrile (PAN). Mitsubishi Chemical uses the

highest-grade materials available to create AN and PAN.

PrecursorA solution of PAN is then spun into precursor. The process

of creating precursor heavily influences the quality and

consistency of the carbon fiber. It is a process in which

Mitsubishi Chemical has refined and perfected over the

past 60-years.

Carbon FiberPrecursor is oxidized and carbonized in ovens to produce

carbon fiber. Mitsubishi Chemical produces carbon fiber for

a variety of different applications and is one of the largest

manufacturers of carbon fiber in the world.

PrepregCarbon fibers are impregnated with resin to produce

ready-to-mold material in sheet or tow form. Mitsubishi

Chemical produces a variety of different types of prepreg

for many different applications (e.g. aerospace, sporting

goods, etc.).

ResinsMitsubishi Chemical has developed many different resin

systems that possess a variety of mechanical properties

(e.g. density, strength, toughness).

Over 30 Years ExperienceDifferent types of prepreg and exotic materials are then

combined to create a composite golf shaft. Mitsubishi

Chemical has over 30-years of experience in designing and

developing premium, performance-oriented golf shafts.

If you want it done right, you do it yourself.

A single strand of carbon fiber is a highly

complex thing. It can be used in countless

ways and fine-tuned to achieve specific

performance characteristics.

We think about carbon fiber a lot. There

are people at Mitsubishi Chemical, who

know more about carbon fiber than most

anybody else in the world. When you take

the best of these ideas and focus them

on a single goal — like making the most

advanced golf shafts in the world — you

get a lot of very satisfied golfers.

Most of our material technologies and

innovations are developed in-house

by Mitsubishi Chemical at our labs in

Toyohashi, Japan or within the Mitsubishi

Chemical Holdings Group. Together we

have created thousands of individual

formulations of the raw materials that go

into a composite golf shaft.

Our ability to “custom craft” raw materials

means we can create prepreg and resins

from scratch and achieve the exact

performance characteristics we want.

Driven by innovation.

Aluminum Vapor Deposited Fiber (Av) WeaveInside a vacuum-sealed chamber, the micro fiber is coated with aluminum

vapor. This AV fiber enhances stability, to help achieve the desired EI targets.

The AV weave is tighter and thinner than typical woven materials, which helps

prevent shaft ovaling.

Carbon/Kevlar® (Ck) WeaveA Carbon Fiber/DuPont™ Kevlar® (CK) woven material; featuring Mitsubishi

Chemical carbon fiber has been developed to increase the strength and stability

of our shaft in addition to providing superior feel and feedback throughout the

swing. DuPont™ Kevlar® is a trademark or registered trademark of E. I. du Pont

de Nemours & Company.

Dual-Core Titanium Nickel (Tini) WireTitanium Nickel (TiNi) Wire is a premium elastic wire that immediately springs

back to its original shape when stretched. By placing a double layer of TiNi

Wire (Dual-Core TiNi) in the tip-section of a shaft we can further increase the

strength and stability at impact and deliver tighter shot dispersion.

MR70Specifically designed and developed by Mitsubishi Chemical for high-

performance applications, MR70 is an innovative new carbon fiber material

that is 20% stronger and has 10% the modulus than conventional materials.

Hybrid Prepeg With BoronMitsubishi Chemical has created hybrid prepreg materials for decades.

Our latest creation combines MR70 with Boron fibers to make one of our

strongest, most exotic materials yet. Boron fiber is equivalent in stiffness to

high modulus carbon fiber with superior compression strength. It is used to

structurally reinforce specific areas of the shaft.

Braided TechnologyThe “braiding” technology using Tow Prepreg is incredibly resistant to twisting

and ovaling and creates a shaft with no spine, so the shaft performs more

consistently than a shaft made with traditional sheet prepreg.

Straight Flight Weighting (SFW)The Straight Flight Weighting (SFW) system improves ball flight. As a shaft

gets lighter, it becomes more difficult for the golfer to square the clubface or

turn the club over through impact, especially a driver. Thus, SFW is designed

to help the golfer turn the club over easier through impact, which in turn

straightens a slight fade or promotes a slight draw. A short section of tungsten

weighted prepreg is precisely placed under the lower end of the shaft’s grip area

to produce the effect.

Tungsten Infused PrepregA major innovation from our labs in Toyohashi, Japan is our prepreg infused

with Tungsten Powder, a very heavy and dense powder. Placing tungsten-

infused resin sheets throughout the shaft can affect balance point and overall

shaft performane.

Let’s face it, there’s a lot of bragging that goes on in the golf business. And while some shaft companies

go on and on about how often their shafts are used on the professional tours, we’ve always believed one

measurement counts more than any other: Are players winning with it? Isn’t that the whole point? That’s

what Mitsubishi Chemical shafts do better than any other shaft: They help players win. Which is how the

best players in the world become the best players in the world.

LET US COUNT THE WAYS.

OT™ SeriesNew Ideas. New Performance.

The OT™ Series doesn’t use traditional sheets of prepreg, but instead uses a new material for the golf shaft industry

called Tow Prepreg. Tow Prepreg uses carbon fibers that are arranged in super-strong “bundles” (the way a steel cable

is made). These bundles are impregnated with resin to create the Tow Prepreg, and then woven together like a braid.

The “braiding” technology using Tow Prepreg is incredibly resistant to twisting and ovaling and creates a shaft with

no spine, so the shaft performs more consistently than a shaft made with traditional sheet prepreg. The braiding also

minimizes vibration, to provide the better feedback that’s so important for iron play.

OT™ Tour HybridMid Launch and Mid/Low Spin

The OT™ Hybrid shaft benefits from the same Braided

Technology found in the OT™ Irons. It is incredibly resistant

to twisting and ovaling and creates a shaft with no spine,

so the shaft performs more consistently than a shaft made

with traditional sheet prepreg.

Tow Prepreg, Braided Technology

OT™ Tour Iron (Taper Tip)Mid Launch and Mid/Low Spin

Unlike any other composite iron shaft, the OT™ Tour Iron is

consistently than golf shafts made with traditional sheet

prepreg. Available in a 0.355” dedicated taper-tip design.
