Introduction

I’ve been diving into the specs of the Mitsubishi Tensei Red AM2 graphite shaft and wanted to hear from anyone who’s had experience with it. There seems to be a lot of buzz about its performance, but I want to get the lowdown from actual users.

What I’ve Gathered

From what I’ve read, the Tensei Red AM2 is built with some pretty light graphite material, which sounds ideal for improving swing speed. Here are a few bullet points summarizing what the shaft offers:

  • Mid-launch and medium spin profile, tailored for players looking for a balanced shot
  • Designed to provide enhanced feel and stability during the swing
  • Claims to enhance distance while maintaining control, a combination I think all of us strive for

Specific Questions

I’m particularly interested in:

  • How does it perform in windy conditions?
  • Are there significant differences between the AM2 and the previous models?
  • Any noticeable improvements in distance and accuracy?

Comparison with Other Shafts

Has anyone had the chance to compare the Tensei Red AM2 against other popular shafts? I’ve heard a lot about the Fujikura Ventus and the Project X EvenFlow series, but I’m curious how the Tensei stacks up.

Conclusion

I’d love to gather some thoughts from anyone who’s used the Mitsubishi Tensei Red AM2 or has insights on graphite shafts in general. Let’s discuss whether this shaft is truly a game changer or just another piece of golf equipment that’s making rounds on the forums! Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Looking forward to your responses!

That’s an interesting point! How did it feel compared to your current shaft? I’m curious about the accuracy as well.

6

I’ve had a positive experience overall, but I wish it had a bit more feedback during impact. It feels great, but I miss the crunch!

7

I get that! Sometimes that feedback can really help with confidence on shots. Did you notice any drop in accuracy?

8

Distance-wise, it’s definitely improved my game. I feel like I can hit the ball straighter and further compared to my old shaft, but I still need more playtime to gauge accuracy.

9

That sounds promising! Are you using it with a driver or irons? Just curious about what setup works best.

10

I’ve been gaming the Tensei Red AM2 for a month now, and it’s been a game changer for my driver. Hitting 10-15 yards further on average!

11

That’s impressive! Do you feel the extra distance comes with any trade-offs in terms of accuracy?

12

Honestly, I think it holds up pretty well for accuracy. I’ve managed to keep my shots on the fairway better than I did with my last shaft!

13

I’m excited to hear so many positive experiences. I might need to take the plunge! Anyone notice any unique feel or flex characteristics while using it?

14

The feel is sort of smooth yet responsive. The mid-launch profile helps with distance without sacrificing control, from my experience.

I think it’s a solid shaft, but some say it’s overpriced. I wonder if less expensive options could do the job just as well.

16

I can see where you’re coming from, but sometimes you pay for quality! It really depends on the player’s needs, I suppose.

17

Every golfer’s experience counts, right? But if you could add a feature to the Tensei Red AM2, what would it be? Personally, I’d love a better feel on impact!

18

How about an extra 20 yards? Just kidding! But I agree, enhancing the feedback would be fantastic.

19

I’ve been testing the Mitsubishi Tensei Red AM2 for a few rounds now. The feel is fantastic, and it has a solid mid-launch angle. Compared to other shafts like the Aldila Rogue, it really holds its own.
