The wood shafts are offered in 50, 60, 70, and 80 grams with flexes ranging from ladies flex to X-flex. The wood shaft was a 70 gram stiff, and the hybrid shaft was a 90 gram stiff. The wood shafts can be purchased for $175, and the hybrid shafts retail for $80.įor this review, I tested both the wood shaft and the hybrid shaft. And, as you’ll see below, the performance was excellent.Īs I said at the beginning, the Kuro Kage is being offered at a much lower price than Mitsubishi’s Diamana series. Smooth, easy to load, with a nice firm tip. With regard to the hybrid shaft, I unequivocally love the feel. You can read another MGSer’s thoughts here. However, as always, that’s just what my hands tell me.

This sentiment was echoed by a small group of other people who demoed the Kuro Kage with me. What’s interesting is that on a less-than-good swing, there is very little kick or feel. It has a nice kick in the midsection of the shaft on a good swing. How does all that technical stuff translate to feel, you ask? In my opinion, the Kuro Kage feels like a Kaili with a stiffer tip. This softer tip is balanced out by a “High Density Pre-preg” in the tip that creates more stability. I have also heard it described as being similar to a Blue Board, but with a softer tip. Mistubishi says that the Kuro Kage follows their “Smooth” profile, meaning that the shaft is softest in the tip, softer in the mid section, and stiffest in the butt. Kinda dull, and a missed opportunity, in my opinion.

The grey butt section fades to black through some square graphics around the logo. With a name that cool, I think the graphics are, frankly, disappointing. Gotta start with this: Kuro Kage, or Black Shadow, is an awesome name. Does the Kuro Kage live up to these bold statements? Read on to find out.
