The ARMRQ6 features a six-axis carbon fabric consisting of carbon fibers with combination angles approaching a circular shape to enable the shaft to handle forces from all directions and demonstrate an improved restoration power. An eight-axis carbon fabric builds on the circular theory applied to our six-axis carbon fabric and adds 45-degree fibers to augment the capacity of the fabric to resist stress in the direction of torsion. This yields improved torsion stiffness and improved directionality at the point of impact and has made it possible to develop shafts that resist wobbling.

CONCEPT

VIZARD:Victory+Wizard term coined.

The name VIZARD is meant to convey an image of a wizard hauling in victories. We devoted ourselves to the development of shafts that would deliver wins to all contract pros and golfing enthusiasts.

Vizard

Shafts are exclusively designed for the TW series through the incorporation of the needs of tour pros and top amateurs. Two basic types are modified in terms of weight and hardness to offer a variety of shafts that accommodate all golfers irrespective of their idiosyncrasies.

Research conducted with professionals led to the creation of two broad categories of shafts: a springy type of shaft (Mid Kick Point) and a sticky type of shaft (Hight Kick Point).

TAシリーズ「弾き系シャフト」
  • The center of this shaft and the grip are highly rigid to give the user the impression that the tip of this shaft is moving through the swing very rapidly.
  • There is little pliability but the shaft snaps back very quickly.
  • Design is focused on flight distance in terms of effectively hitting the ball squarely and straight and high-trajectory shots.
TZシリーズ「粘り系シャフト」
  • The grip has been designed with a low degree of stiffness relative to the rest of the shaft in order to produce stickiness (pliability).
  • This shaft appears to be pliable and it is easy to get a feel for the weight of the head for greater maneuverability.
  • Design is focused on stability, with the center and tip of this shaft exhibiting little in the way of movement; thus, the club resists being swung to the left and balls are more inclined to be hit low.

TECHNOLOGY

Ongoing research conducted with professionals yielded a successful fusion of objective data and subjective impressions.

Feedback obtained from male, female, and senior professionals active in tournaments was consolidated. The process of trial production was carried out repeatedly at the Sakata Plant and related data were amassed. By combining these data with prototype impressions, shaft characteristics were subject to management by way of quantification, which made precise distribution according to stiffness possible.

Stiffness distribution
TA characteristic

By making the part of this shaft extending from the grip to the center highly rigid and the tip only moderately so, shaft movement on the downswing is kept in check to enable shots to be timed with ease and a powerful springy sensation to be generated.

TZ characteristic

By making the part of this shaft extending from the center to the tip more rigid than the grip, the stickiness of the grip gives rise to maneuverability while the firmness of the center and tip of this shaft helps prevent the face from closing excessively and shots from popping up.
