Comparing graphite with steel shaft, graphite’s center gravity is located on the butt side and this affects swing weight to achieve desirable swing balance. In order to improve this, more materials are wound on the tip side in general but this causes high rigidity to the shaft (EI) and as the result it hurts feel of shaft. By development of Metal Composite Technology (MCT), we could achieve two important features in graphite shaft for iron.One is adjustment of CGL (50% or closed to 50%) in a shaft, and the other is better controllability by smooth movement coming from thinner silhouette which should be essential to iron shafts.
This is the trade name showing technology and concept developed to unite metal and CFRP.
・MCI brings swing weight to a level of steel shafts.
・Accordingly it’s easy to re-shaft from steel shafts.
・By the unique design making wall thickness of graphite.
・High strength in torque and bend (Fig. 3)
・Utilizing freedom of design, we increased EI at butt side and performed better bend continuation and achieved comfortable swing.
・Comparing with steel shafts, more than double vibration.
MC80、90、100、110、120 are composited steel pipe and performed equivalent swing weight to steel shafts.
MC50,60,70 uses metal foil and performed most suitable CGMC50,60,70 uses metal foil and performed most suitable CG location in this weight range.
・Patent for metal composite technology (Pat.4880063)
・Patent pending for metal foil composite technology (Patent pending 2012-95194)
