Mitsubishi Golf MMT Iron Shafts Preview: Uniting the Best of Composite and Steel

Mitsubishi Golf is releasing new MMT Iron Series shafts that feature an all-new irons-centric technology to redefine the possibilities for feel and performance in a composite iron shaft. 

 

MMT stands for Metal Mesh Technology, an exciting, new innovation that expands the potential for composite iron shaft construction.  Born from more than 30-years of composite shaft mastery at MCA, the technology originates from Mitsubishi's Archery Division, and and opens up new avenues for continued cutting-edge exploration. 

Designed to maximize the benefits of both composite and steel performance, MMT takes full advantage of the Mitsubishi end-to-end manufacturing approach.  As layers of prepreg are stacked to build the shaft's core, a 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.  Together this yields a finely tuned, highly responsive shaft that still provides the consistent launch and spin control needed for precise iron play.

The composite construction gives Mitsubishi engineers total control over the manufacturing process in a way that can’t be replicated with an all-steel product, precisely distributing the flex throughout the shaft.  The integration of MMT adds weight and stabilizes the tip to give players the same ability to shape and control shots that a heavier steel shaft would provide.

MMT Iron Series are ideal for any player who wants to experience the performance benefits of a composite iron shaft while still getting consistent launch and spin needed for proper distance control and touch. 

 

WEIGHTS & FLEXES

FEATURED TECHNOLOGY
Metal Mesh Technology (MMT) combines the best of composite and steel in an iron shaft.  A unique Metal Mesh made from individually braided strands of 304 Stainless Steel is integrated into the shaft’s prepreg layers towards the tip.  This improves density and stability, 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.

The new MMT Iron shafts with Parallel Tips will be available in September through MCA GOLF authorized retailers and dealers nationwide, with a suggested retail price of $90.00 USD (MMT Iron).  For more information check out www.mca-golf.com, and shoot me an email or DM on twitter or Instagram if you have any questions.
