So I'm new to all this shaft business and anyone that's ever gotten into it knows how deceiving this market is.
Mitsubishi, i thought, was one of the more noble shaft makers in that they made the OEM vs Aftermarket made shafts obvious. in the tenseis- the ck pro and av raw signify the more expensive made higher quality materials $350 aftermarket shafts. where just the regular tensei CK or tensei AV lacking the pro and raw monikers lets you know you're getting the cheaper made (but still decent enough) made for OEM shafts.
Now ping is offering the AV RAW ORANGE as a free upgrade with the G425 drivers. the AV RAW ORANGE is like a $350 shaft- how can it come with a $500 driver? Also it looks like the AV RAW blue, av raw white are $220 upgrades. so its pretty obvious to me. This is another example of deception in shaft manufacturers- it almost seems like they're bullied into it from head manufacturers.
wonder what that dynamic is like.
