gocchin Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 via golftoimpress.com Back in February, Mamiya OP announced the merging of its subsidiary United Sports Technologies (UST) along with its own sports division to form UST Mamiya. UST has long been well known in the West for models like the Proforce and Accra label while Mamiya OP has challenged the big shaft makers in Japan with their Axiv brand. The new UST Mamiya will focus on the high end market by providing premium performance high quality carbon fiber golf shafts. UST Mamiya will leverage Japanese materials, designs and manfacturing technologies combined with US experience on the pro tour to create shafts that meet the demanding requirements of golfers all around the world. Before I talk about the new UST Mamiya shaft ATTAS and its availability here at Tourspecgolf.com, check out this video from UST Mamiya where Gene Simpson, Chief Operating Officer explains the merger and focus of the new UST Mamiya plus a brief intro for ATTAS. (please see video on http://www.golftoimpress.com/) We first saw ATTAS back at the Japan Golf Fair back in February and it was clear from the booth that UST Mamiya had that ATTAS is and will be their future focus. There were no other shafts present at the booth including those from Proforce and Axiv with the sole spotlight on the ATTAS. ATTAS is the first shaft using the UST Mamiya Japanese design team and input from US and European Tour pros. ATTAS will demand a market price higher than what UST customers may be used to but inline with premium shafts priced by Mamiya OP in their Axiv line. What makes ATTAS stand out from the crowded and competitive high end shaft market? UST Mamiya claims the most explosive power to weight ratio in golf. UST Mamiya achieves this by using high grade, ultra thin modulus graphite hand crafted under very tight quality control measures to produce a shaft that stores maximum energy to be released at impact. UST Mamiya has created three mid kicking models and based on the targeted golfer of each model the perfect weight, balance and staight shaft produces optimal results for that player. Because of its balance and weight matched with just the right amount of torque, the ATTAS produces superior feel and kick on top of accuracy and control. ATTAS is set for a worldwide launch on September 10th but Japan will receive a special batch of 900 limited shafts each marked UST MAMIYA FIRST SHIPMENT on July 30th. UST Mamiya has already allocated a few shafts for Tourspecgolf so make sure you reserve yours now as those 900 shafts for Japan will be gone in the first few days.

medfordoregon Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 My understanding is that these shafts, have the Tip action like the Fubuki 73 but with a mid high launch and spins less than the Matrix F7M2 LTD. Does that sound about right? Have you or anyone else hit this yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you or anyone else hit this yet? Thats a pretty general statement, each shaft company uses their own design and materials, The anology you use isnt too far off but it is a good way to generalize the ATTAS shaft and help people understand sorta what they would get. I dont know if I would say its less spin than the F7M2 either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
