Thought I would get this thread up a little ahead of the game since I think it should definitely draw some eyeballs.
Coming in for a full homepage review are the new MMT iron shafts from Mitsubishi Chemical and I must say, I am pretty geeked that they sent them in for review.
What is MMT you may be saying? It means "Metal Mesh Technology" and oh yeah, it started from research/ideas in their archery division. Essentially, a metal mesh that is made up of 304 stainless steel strands is applied in the lower/tip section of the shafts. Why? More stability there while also allowing for thinner wall construction. They're available in non-taper and taper tip, with each having its own flight/spin range, mid/mid and mid-low/mid-low respectively. Also, weight ranges from 48g-98g in the non-taper and 59g to 125g in the TT version.
I should have these in hand today to get my pics done this evening and then begin the install process. I'm not sure what heads they will be going in just yet, that will depend a lot on the specs of what comes in for the review. Rest assured though I'll keep everyone in the loop!
Here is the blurb from MCA on their website about the MMT shafts:
"Designed to maximize the benefits of both composite and steel performance, our patent pending Metal Mesh Technology represents the very best of the Mitsubishi end-to-end manufacturing approach. As layers of prepreg are stacked to build the shaft’s core, a small section of unique Metal Mesh is integrated towards the tip. This Metal Mesh – made up of individually braided strands of 304 Stainless Steel – improves the density and stability of the shaft, while also allowing for thinner overall composite wall construction. Together this yields a finely tuned, highly responsive shaft that still provides the consistent launch and spin control needed for effective iron play."
My in-hand pictures will come hopefully this evening in the reserved post below this one.
