Kuro Kage Shaft Specs: Driver, Wood & Iron Breakdown

by

Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by.  Today we’ve got a new release from MRC Golf of the KURO KAGE Silver driver, hybrid and iron shafts. This release is on the heels of the popular KURO KAGE Black shaft released earlier this year.  These shafts feature a High Density Prepreg, which means a lighter shaft with enhanced stability to the average consumer.  This prepreg is positioned in the lower third of the shaft, which is said to enhance stability and feel through the tip section, which will deliver consistent ball flights and less spin.  This new model has a stiffer tip and mid section, when compared to the Black model, but a softer butt.  If you’re looking for a lot of shaft stability, low launch and minimal spin, this new shaft may be up your alley.  See the full shaft specs and pictures below.
