Wow... read about them before. never really fit anybody except one person into one... and he was X flex. The availability is non existant until July so why bother. I grabbbed one out of my fitting stuff and stuck in in my SIM driver a few weeks ago. Finally got to the range today to try it. I know someone onbe here was raving about it... maybe Weirfan?? Well he is right!!! I knew I'd like the feel and it was the perfect amount of tip stiffness as well. They might not be getting that one back.
Tensei White
Which version?
65 gram AV2…. I’m tellin ya, it feels awesome. I like to read up about all the shafts I carry for the fittings and always thought this was a very stiff low launching shaft but it was very user friendly. Not as stiff as a HZRDUS Black… even felt a little better than the Motore F1 that I have that feels nice and is also a low launch low spin shaft.
I don’t know if it’s available in regular flex but if it is, someone with a 90 mph swing speed might love it.
pluggedingolf gives it a great review.
Gotta say I didn't like the feel of my 75X all that much. Maybe it was too long at 46", but still...

The Orange is good as well but counterbalanced. I hit some nice ones with it up at Golf n Ski the other week. I’d like to hit them both side by side. Close but I think the spin numbers from the white would be better.
I don’t seem to miss left with the white. The Orange was fine but I’d get the lefts. The White beats out my Ventus Red Velocore.
Assuming it's the latest AV//AV Raw white. Have not played one yet but want to try the 75 or 85. I love the av raw Blue 75 in my 3w. Wish they made the blue in 85, but only the av raw white comes in the 85.
ode I think it’s the AV but not the AV Raw. The upper part of the shaft is darker than the white. Today the fitting matrix I had had both. At the end of the fittings I tried both shafts on the Staelth Plus 2 driver. Once again… wow. I prefer the AV over the raw. Loved it, very accurate, one long high draw after another!
ode Ok, I went and looked at the one I’m keeping and it’s the xlink…. So it’s the newest. The upper part is darker, not white. For some reason the plastic cap label TM uses says AV2…. Maybe it’s their way of differentiation between this one and the older one with the white upper part.
So, the xlink is the one I like better.
I've been kicking around to try this shaft for a long time. Now you talked me into it so I have one on the way.
backinit More active. black is like a board.. while being tip stiff it has just the right amount of softness in the handle. I don’t have to kill it to get it to work… and if I do lean on it, the tip keeps it in place. I’m a fan of these shafts that are softer In the butt amd gradually get stiffer towards the tip.
I have Ventus Red Velocore that is butt stiff, soft mid and firm, not stiff in the tip. The highest launching of the Ventus Velocore line and it just feels dead to me because of the butt.
