| For the first time, we have used Toray Industries' cutting-edge carbon fiber "TORAYCA®" M40X, which has maximized strength and elasticity. In addition, we have used ultra-high elasticity "90t carbon", "Pyrofil®" MR70, which combines strength and flexibility, and "TORAYCA®" T110G throughout the entire length to maximize the sense of acceleration and impact. Furthermore, "RC15% prepreg" provides strong flex and rebound. These distinctive materials are flexibly bound together with "boron fiber" to create an ultra-high-speed shaft. |

Development Concept
Now, we are making the best flying shaft using the materials available on earth! Fujikura has developed this shaft to achieve the strongest distance performance, surpassing the DIAMOND Speeder, which has an excellent balance of bounce and flex.
By combining it with the high-spec carbon "M40X," which exceeds the T1100G announced by Toray in December 2018, we have achieved amazing bounce and speed. Furthermore, after extensive evaluation, we have arrived at "boron fiber" as a material that maintains the bounce and speed while also being easy to swing.
■Ultra-high performance materials are used that are currently available on the planet. ■Low torque design is inherited. ■Weight flow for each flex. ■Kick point is forward and inward for even greater bounce and grip. |

Ultra-low resin carbon sheet "RC15% prepreg"
The carbon sheet is laminated (12 layers for S flex) with an ultra-low resin content of "RC15%" which is further reduced from RC20%. By reducing the amount of resin, the ratio of carbon fiber increases, resulting in a dense shaft. This eliminates unnecessary movement and achieves a stronger return to flex. |

Toray's cutting-edge carbon fiber "TORAYCA R" M40X, which exceeds T1100G
Fujikura shafts are using "M40X", announced by Toray in December 2018, for the first time. This is the latest material developed for use in rockets and next-generation aircraft. By pursuing both fiber strength and elastic modulus, which are in a trade-off relationship, to the limit, strength has been improved by approximately 30% while maintaining the same elastic modulus as conventional carbon fibers. This creates an even better bounce and feeling. |

Ultra-high elastic carbon fiber "90t carbon"
By layering the world's hardest material, 90t carbon, over the full length, we have achieved maximum acceleration and strength after impact to increase the initial velocity of the ball. |

MR70 (Mitsubishi Chemical) + T1100G (Toray)
The tough Mitsubishi Chemical MR70 is laminated into the full-length straight layer, while the T1100G used in the SPEEDER series is laminated into the tip bias layer. The combination of these two materials achieves both toughness and flexibility. |

Boron fiber: a metal fiber with high strength, high rigidity and high elasticity
Boron fiber, which is used in fighter jet tails and racing cars and has excellent strength, rigidity, and elasticity, flexibly combines the latest carbon materials with their distinctive characteristics. This creates a super-high-speed shaft that combines peak characteristics with repeatability and stability. |
