    Just picked up a TS3 3wood that has a Diamana S+ x5ct shaft.

    My question is, what is the x5ct?

    Is that torque?

    How is that measured and where on the shaft is that measured?

    TIA.

    Hello,
    S+ is the newer version of the shaft... with 50/60/70/80 or 90 model... The torque is different for each model...
    and the 5ct is the tip length that can be cut I believe to custom our shaft. The original Length is 46 inch and it's possible to cut into 41 at 46... It's therefore usable for the Driver but also wood 3 and 5 with this length... That's all... :-)

    DO NOT CUT 5" off the tip of the shaft! That is not what that means. You'll end up with a tomato stake. Follow the tip trimming guide on Mitsubishi's website or take to a certified clubmaker.

    It is the equation to get to the carat weight of the shaft. Multiply grams by 5 to get the carat weight of the shaft. It's a Mitsubishi thing.

    I read all of the responses and I thank you for them.

    Unfortunately, I am no further along in understanding the concept than I was when I created the post.

    However I do enjoy a good tomato stake, though I suspect not the wisest idea to poke a fruit or vegetable with a shattered end of a graphite shaft. That will probably result in some nightshakes.

    It was originally simply a label they used to distinguish aftermarket shafts from the "stock" versions offered by Titleist and others. Like i said, it is an equation. Mitsubishi's logo is 3 diamonds... diamonds are measured in carats, or CT for short. Shafts are measured in grams. In order to covert grams to carats, you multiply by 5. Therefore, the shaft weight x5 = ct weight of the shaft, or x5ct.

    Usually you won't find torque specs on a shaft.You'll have to go to the manufacturers website for torque specs, although Titleist may have them on this website under the custom options.
