Hi Matt, We are in the process of adding it to our custom matrix, but do not yet have an ETA

Does this mean not for the 917, but for the next model?

Or will it be available for the 917?

Hi Matt, The Tensei CK Pro Orange is available to order in the 60, 70 and 80.

Cathi...will the Orange be part of the fitting carts, or at a Titleist Thursday event?

Thanks!

Paul

Hi Matt, The Tensei orange shaft can be ordered now for the 917.

Hi Paul, This shaft will not be part of any fitting carts or Titleist Thursday events. Our two Tour facilities should have them available and other Premier facilities may also choose to bring them into their matrix.

The Tensei Orange is a counterbalanced shaft with a stiff tip. The butt is slightly softer than say a Tensei White, HZRDUS Black, PRO 73. On our chart, we would put it into the low launch, low-mid spin area.

It will be available on a limited basis for scheduled fittings to premier fitters and others when the TS launches.

Would you tip trim the Tensei Pro Orange for the TS or just use it straight in like you do with Diamana shafts in previous drivers?

Hi Christopher, We would tip trim it 1/2" if not requested otherwise. You can have it built with no tipping or up o 1.5" tip.

Hi Cathi, does the Tensei Pro orange play true to flex when tipped 1/2”?

Thanks

Hi Ty, There is no real answer to that as unfortunately, there is no industry standard for flex. If you are asking how much stiffer the Tensei Orange tipped 1/2" vs no tipping, it will play slightly stiffer - somewhere between an 1/8 -1/4 flex.

Hi Cathi, I'm actually surprised to see that your go to spec for the pro orange in a TS driver is to tip trim 1/2". Do you know if this is based off launch conditions from a test group, or simply more intended at addressing the stiffness of the shaft?

HI Andoni, For most of our exotic shafts, our standard tipping is 1/2". For those players that were fit with these shaft with our fitters, the 1/2" tipped shaft is the one they will be fit with. If the fitter /or player decides that they need more or less tipping based on their launch, etc., we will build it with no tipping or as much as 1 1/2" tipping.

If I like the CK pro Orange 70tx but I want my launch to be just a shade lower, do I tip an extra 1/2"? I loved the flight but I feel like its far higher than say the Black Smoke. I'd really like it to be in-between.
Thanks!
