Overview
As a world leader in carbon fiber technology and graphite golf shaft innovation for the past two decades the FUBUKI project represents one of a variety of ongoing technology driven projects currently underway at Mitsubishi Rayon. The FUBUKI project has been in process for nearly two years and has resulted in a variety of prototype structures that are designed to deliver outstanding consistency in launch and back spin, while minimizing shaft deformation at impact.

FUBUKI was officially released as a prototype on the PGA TOUR in early 2008 and utilizes a unique patent pending technology developed by Mitsubishi Rayon - Modulus Differential Technology (MDT).

Key Features


Modulus Differential Technology (MDT)
Modulus Differential Technology (MDT) incorporates a revolutionary design concept that combines state-of-the-art
high modulus material with specialized, more responsive, pitch based fiber in and above the tip section. The
resulting design allows the different materials to work in concert, promoting enhanced feel and stability throughout
the length of the golf shaft. Additionally, MDT offers a significant reduction in golf shaft deformation and lag,
which promotes consistent spin reduction and a more repeatable dynamic launch angle.

OH I AM READY...
Is it possible to get this shaft 47" in length as an X flex? (The chart shows them in 46")


For all the readers: in your opinion which head would you put this shaft in: the original FT-5, the FT-5 w/ hosel, or SuperQuad TP?!!! Thanks for your input!

Must have 73X. I can't wait to get one of these!

Definetly going to be an exciting shaft to put in the bag.... I noticed your bag, how you like your C & L 350 milled... I love mine and might be getting another one soon!

I've got 2 and they are both great putters. My Oil Can still looks brand new lol.


When will these be available? Same price as the Diamana line?

[titleistgolfer8]

I am not sure... I would love it to be the same price as the Diamana line but I highly doubt it... Seems like they got this shaft on lock and will rise to the top of the charts ASAP... Hence why I want to get one! haha

[stage1350]

No 83g model? WTF?

[shill]

No, I'm not ready yet. Give me a second.

[joey3108]

The first release is the 70ish gram first and it will be any day now.

I'm in discussion with the tour dept to release the 60ish asap.

I've been told that It's gonna be a different graphics than the prototype one....No prototype graphics are in stock. There are all at the British Open tour van.

Prise point will be level up with WHITE board or just a hair higher!

I'm not sure yet, how many pieces are my first batch. Email me if you guys seriously need any!

Thanks!

Joe,

Where would the Fubuki fit in the Blueboard/Whiteboard/Redboard spectrum as far as launch & spin?

[lboeme]

I need a 63X and 73 X

Joe,

Where would the Fubuki fit in the Blueboard/Whiteboard/Redboard spectrum as far as launch & spin?

From what i've seen and tested, Trajectory would be some where between blue and red ( closer to blue ) and spin rate between Blue and White.

But all this depending also on installation which IMO Fubuki is critical on tipping issue. S and X flex is not the same treatment either in tipping. Without the right tipping, it won't perform as we gonna expect it to be.

FT-5 TH LCG + FUBUKI = THE REAL BOMB.

You can do it and I'll test it!

then...

we'll compare notes.

and...

beruo will complain that lefties aren't available.

[titleistgolfer8]

That sounds like a good combo to me!!!

Can't say enough good things about my Fubuki 7084X M003 Proto / G10 combo. Been gaming this for a couple months and have never driven it this well before. This thing feels great, is tight, long and very predictable.

Joey, I'll take two more.....both 73X, just like my proto. Will call you.

Cardo

[titleistgolfer8]

is it possible to get the Fubuki 7084 M003 at 47inches in length X flex???

My G10 with the ProLaunch Red is the best driver I've ever had because it's so consistent. I think I'm going to have to buy another G10 head and try a Fubuki 63 in it

[Hifade]

If tipped properly (as stated) it will perform so well, it's just short of orgasmic.

does the Fubuki have a higher kick point than the whiteboard?

[joey3108]

Lower kick point, higher trajectory!!!

Ok guys I got only a limited amount of S flex 63 grams.

Email me for booking yours!

jwk.golf@gmail.com

Joe

[joey3108]

My shipment is here!

Again, limited quantity on 63 S flex. No X and R flex on 63 yet.

No problem on 73 gr S and X flex version.

Email me for inquiry!

THX!

Hey Joe, do you know if there's going to be an 80g-range model? I'm really looking forward to these with all the high expectations, but I'm worried about the fact there's no 80g-range model yet. Or is there?

They never had any all black finish. They only had it on ION PLATED for prototype!

i just got a new fubuki shaft for 700$ if ppl are interested ill post pics

Good on ya. Did you buy the $500 prototype/tour version that Joe was selling a while back, or the retail version that should come in a bit cheaper than that?

[jcas2307]

the prototype, i was in the store when the mitsubishi rep came in and dropped off two prototypes. its so sick the graphics of the stars go all the way up the shaft

[smitty114]

I like those graphices the black fading into the white looks sick but it kinda looks similar to how the rombax and speeder graphics are but who cares looks sick. How much?

[projamie]

How much tipping are we talking about to get it to play to how your describing Joe?

Got mine on the way, just want to get it spot on!

Cheers

It depends on the final specs you are trying to build and match it with your swing speed, load, tempo style, feel,skill, etc, etc, etc.
