Notice Concerning Counterfeit Versions of Our Brand Shafts

Thank you for your continued support of graphite shafts manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical (formerly Mitsubishi Rayon).

Recently, our investigation has confirmed that counterfeit versions of our brand shafts—particularly from the Diamana™ and FUBUKI™ series—have been circulating in the market. These counterfeit products are often found sold individually (without being assembled into clubs), especially through online auction sites. Although these fakes are skillfully made to look like the genuine product, the shafts themselves are of poor quality and lack essential safety considerations. As a result, there is a high risk of breakage, making their use extremely dangerous.

To ensure customer safety and satisfaction, our company provides genuine shafts exclusively through authorized retailers. These retailers assemble the shafts into golf clubs within their in-house workshops before offering them to customers. We do not sell standalone shafts under any circumstances without club assembly.

We kindly ask our customers to purchase Mitsubishi Chemical brand shafts only from authorized dealers to ensure safe usage. Please note that our company cannot be held responsible for any accidents, malfunctions, or damages caused by the use of counterfeit products.

Additionally, there have been instances of resold shafts that were removed from clubs after having been installed once, often sold via online auctions. Since these shafts are typically heated during removal, their structural integrity is compromised, significantly increasing the risk of breakage. For your safety, we strongly advise against using such shafts.
