TENSEI Pro White 1K

[Josh L.]

Just ordered a 60tx to play in the driver, I've been playing the Pro White for the last few years.

I need to quit reading this thread... I'm happy with my RDX Blue... I'm happy with my RDX Blue.........but....

Anyone test this vs Ventus blue/black yet?

[ForTourUseOnly]

Tested it today, its smoother feeling than the older Pro White shafts from my experience. If you are a CK Pro White player you are going to want to check this one out.

Numbers wise it is very similar to my AV Raw Orange, and spin and carry/total numbers were very similar as well. Going to d some more testing but its the closest thing to my love of Tensei Orange so that I've tried in a number of years

 

1K Pro White 60 TX

Swing Speed: 113.0

Ball Speed: 169.4

Spin: 2381

Carry: 292.4

Total: 316.1

 

AV Raw Orange 65 TX

Swing Speed: 113.3

Ball Speed: 170.1

Spin: 2412

Carry: 294.8

Total: 317.3

Any idea when the orange profile of the 1K will be released?

[Josh L.]

No word yet, if I had to guess blue and red may come first since orange is more of a niche offering.

Hoping to see an Orange one day too

I would expect Blue will be next. I wonder if there’ll be a Red and Orange. Red never seemed to take off and Orange peaked when Tiger and Rory used it. It still gets played on Tour but not as much as other MCA shafts.

I thought it might be earlier since Ping has offered the CK orange and now AV orange as a stock option over the pst couple of season.

Shaft Porn for you guys. The Tensei logo is holographic! I

Nice, good looking for sure! Is the white band larger/thicker as well?

[MysteryV]

Hit my 60TX in my new TSi3 head today (A1 / T2).  Very stable combo.  Seems to take the BIG left miss out for me as I didn't have a single snap hook through about 100 shots.  

 

The shots I did miss left were pulled, but did not hook which was fantastic.

 

Looking forward to taking it out on the course this weekend and seeing how it performs.

Haven't held it next to my Pro Whites, I'll find out tomorrow for you. 

[I2izzer]

Ordered one in 50TX to play as a long build, 46”, in a SIM head. Should have it in a couple weeks. 

 

I’ve currently got a 70tx pro white in there and it’s great but I feel it gets stuck behind sometimes so I can hit a block or hook occasionally. Love the feel though. I’m usually around 170 ball speed with the current setup. 
 

First time I’ve tried a 50TX so I’m hopeful it will work well, and won’t be too soft.  Will share results when I get some.

Yes the white band is longer than the older Tensei models.

As I said before, I'm a bit jealous.  Mine is built to 46.5 and I definitely would have gone with 50 if I realized it was a thing.  Very interested to hear how it comes out!

Yeah no kidding. I feel like I always hear about these ridiculous finds in big box stores and any time I wander in there for grips/balls I just see used racks filled with filthy clubs they want way too much for. 

When the 915 titleist series was on its way out , I saw a rack of fairways on sale and in the front was 3 FD heads with T ( tour ) serial numbers.  This was in a golfsmith.   And funny enough.  I laughed. And didn’t buy any.  I’m guessing a rep dumping them off a little at a time as they dumped excess tour  stock.   
 

So it happens.

I hit it 1K vs. Ventus Black on the range yesterday with limited launch monitor numbers from a Rapsodo (No Spin). The 1K has a very smooth feel with a good feeling of the shaft loading and then unloading at impact. Lively, but very tight and controlled even if you "went after it". Easier to turn over than Ventus Black and the shot shape was more of a gentle draw where V.Black is straight to slight right of target. Ventus Black launched lower and had an overall more stout feel to it. Ballspeed was a little higher with the 1K for me, around 155 while the V. Black was around 153. Ventus Black also launched a little lower, by about half a degree . Now these were some rough range balls and it was 20*, while using the Srixon ZX5 head.

Did you tip 1K the same amount as the AV orange?

Tipped the 1K 1/2” more as it was softer freq wise in the tip and butt compared to the orange AV. It made the butt freq the same as my AV orange but the tip was still a bit softer numbers wise.

I opted for the X instead of TX...will report back after she's ready for a test drive in my Cobra SZ. TX in the Pro White was really stiff to me... 110-112 Swing speed....

Took the new setup out to the range today.... WOW. As I mentioned, I really really like my PW70tx but this thing is just so smooth. I previously tried the AV Raw Orange in a 75tx and it felt so harsh and I couldn't find the middle. 

 

I was a bit concerned that going the extra 0.5" in length and with the spec sheet on the 1K 50tx showing more torque in the tip (4.4) it might feel loose but I could not stop hitting these powerful straight balls.

 

I probably hit 20 drives and barely hit anything more than a soft fade or draw. The feel at impact was superb. It was allowing me to easily find the middle of the face, with a familiar kick, regardless of how hard or soft I was swinging it. It is everything I hoped it would be and more. I tested against my 70tx and my best balls flew the same but I hit a couple blocks and hooks with it, which I didn't with the 1K.

 

I will try to get some numbers on the GC Quad because I think I might have gotten a bit more spin from the 1k 50tx and that might be why it was much straighter but it definitely didn't seem to be giving any distance away to the PW70tx. If all checks out The 70tx is getting cut down and going into my 3 wood. 

 

Keeping in mind that the PW 70tx has been unbeatable in the driver (Yes I even tinkered with a Ventus black 6x which I felt like I had to really go after to make work), today was definitely the best I've hit my driver and, to me, the 1K is best feeling shaft I've tried to date. 

 

I'll update with some numbers when I get a chance.

Did the 50tx feel overly light? Did you tip it at all? Thanks

[I2izzer]

Went untipped and with the additional length, it didn't feel significantly lighter than my normal setup. I’m assuming it’s a similar swingweight but haven’t confirmed this yet.

I'm kind of in two minds weather to tip the 50g a half inch or not and play it at 46''. i thought maybe at the lighter weight at that length it might feel a bit soft. 

[cheeeezzz]

I’m in same boat. I have a 65TX AV orange tipped .5” and was going to go with a 60TX tipped 1” at 46 playing length. Now I’m second guessing if I should try the 50.

Ye I'm throwing around so many options with this shaft I'm totally undecided🙈. Have you any experience with ventus black? would love to hear how they compare.

Agreed, really wanting to see how this stacks up against the ventus black.
