Players looking to spend money for the premium driver or fairway wood shafts need to first test that the bend profile and shaft characteristics compliment their swing types.

If you are a stronger player or looking to gain more distance and control from the tee or fairway then you should be making Tensei Pro White a part of your testing matrix. Tensei Pro White delivers on its promise of stability and a smooth feel and it is a pleasure to hit.
Mitsubishi has reimagined high-performance golf shafts with the Tensei line.

Already adopted on Tour by some of the game’s best players, Tensei Pro White is Mitsubishi’s standard go-to shaft for high swing speed players.

Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro White Shaft Detailed Review
Design and Technology
Mitsubishi continues to dominate with their presence on golf tours and in collegiate ranks. Elite players and high swing speed golfers typically fall in love with the performance of Mitsubishi’s premium offerings. Tensei is introducing improved performance in a smoother response that helps golfers achieve maximum distance and accuracy without a harsh impact. Tensei Pro White is made in perfect concert with Tensei Pro Orange to offer golfers outstanding performance in the balance point they prefer. Tensei Pro White is a standard balance point shaft that delivers golfers a feel they are comfortable with reimagined to be even glossier.
During my shaft testing, I heavily debated gaming the Tensei Pro White or the Tensei Pro Orange. Both models were in the 70TX versions and cut to my playing length of 45-inches. In many driver heads, the Tensei Pro White won out in spin reduction, distance, and dispersion size. Ultimately, I preferred the feel of the higher balance point of Tensei Orange and have been very happy with the results. Tensei Pro White is an outstanding shaft and I would feel comfortable playing it in a number of different drivers or fairway wood models. If I were to play a standard balance point shaft this would be the one.
Tensei Pro White is a marvel in both design and performance. I cannot say enough good things about what Mitsubishi has done with this shaft. Players looking for an ultra-smooth feel and a top-of-the-line performance in a standard balance point need to be testing the Tensei Pro White. I believe this shaft will be a staple in the Mitsubishi line for many years.
Specs
Tensei CK Pro White is available in four weight categories and fits a wide range of golfers and swing styles. 50- and 60-gram models are available in three flexes between regular, stiff, and Tour-extra-stiff. These models are great for players who prefer maximum stability in a lighter driver shaft. The 70-gram shaft is available in both stiff and Tour-extra-stiff versions and is perfect for many strong swinging players drivers or fairway woods. The 80-gram Tour-extra-stiff model is perfect for players looking to dial in their fairway wood and compliment their 70-gram driver shaft.
Conclusion
Mitsubishi uses Carbon Fiber/DuPont Kevlar and a low resin content prepreg to deliver golfers a one-of-a-kind golf shaft that is built for performance and feel. The Tensei CK Pro White is a standout engineering feat that couples the best of all areas in the low-launch, low-spin category of golf shafts. The boron infused tip gives players more distance and control at even the highest speeds. Golfers will be hard pressed to find any shaft that delivers on its promise of an ultra-stable response and effortless loading. I would encourage high swing speed players to be testing Tensei Pro White in both their driver and fairway wood models.

How Does the Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro White Shaft Compare?
Fujikura Ventus
The Ventus is Fujikura ultra-premium design made from years of study using the proprietary ENSO machine. ENSO allows Fujikura to map a player’s entire golf swing and deliver golf shafts that help players gain more efficiency during their motion. Ventus uses VeloCore Technology to house an accelerated taper and ultra-stiff profile. Ventus is a mid-launch, low-spin golf shaft perfect for almost any golfer. The full-length pith 70-ton carbon fiber is 150% stronger than the next leading fiber and VeloCore integrates this ultra-strong material throughout the body of the golf shaft. The result is a shaft that is more stable throughout the entire golf swing but still retains all of the feel and response associated with softer premium golf shafts. Golfers looking to dial in their driver or fairway wood performance without getting a harsh feel should be testing the all-new Ventus from Fujikura.
Aldila Rogue Silver 130 MSI
The Rogue 130 MSI builds on the success of the original Rogue 125 MSI design. This shaft uses Graphitic Carbon Fiber, a higher balance point, and NexGen Micro Laminate Technology to give golfers one of the most advanced shafts ever. Aldila has created a more stable shaft by using the strongest of 130 MSI fibers. This low-launch, low-spin, low-torque golf shaft is perfect for players looking to gain distance, control, and accuracy from the tee box this seasons.
Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro Orange
The Tensei Pro Orange gives players similar performance benefits as Tensei Pro White but is made with a higher balance point. The Tensei Pro Orange uses a combination of carbon fiber DuPont Kevlar, MR70, low resin content, and tungsten power to deliver an ultra-tip stiff design made for golfers looking for the best performance possible in their driver. This stable shaft is perfect for players looking to dial in their driver or fairway woods. Tungsten powder allows Mitsubishi to relocate the balance point higher in the shaft and increase swing speeds of elite players. The Tensei CK Pro Orange shaft is a low-launch, low-spin shaft built for players looking for a high balance point feel for improved timing and better performance off the tee.
