UST Mamiya introducing new Attas 11 shafts for 2020

UST Mamiya has had tremendous success with the Attas line since its introduction. For 2020, the Attas line getting another update with the new Attas 11 with M40X carbon fiber, for improved feel and higher launch without sacrificing control, according to the company.

What separates the Attas 11 from previous Attas models is the introduction of M40X carbon fiber to improve feel and help increase the overall energy transfer to the ball.

So what is M40X carbon fiber? Lets dig in for a moment…

M40X carbon fiber is a material developed by Toray—a producer of prepreg raw materials carbon fiber. The M40X material is an improvement in tensile strength to previous versions of the carbon fiber—while also increasing the equivalent tensile modulus by 30 percent compared to conventional carbon fibers. Tensile modulus is also known as tensile elasticity, which is the tendency of an object to deform along an axis when opposing forces are applied along that axis.

(Let me see if I can further explain) Generally the “stronger/stiffer” a material is, the less tensile strength it has, meaning its resistance to breaking under pressure actually goes up. If you can make a material not only stronger but also more resistant to breaking when put under stress you can essentially “bend” it more, and the more it bends, the more energy it will store then release.

In UST’s case by using M40X material in the new new Attas 11 it can create a shaft that is stronger while also being more flexible on a molecular level. Another element of the Attas 11 design is a constant taper from butt to tip of the shaft. We see a lot of graphite shaft companies do this with certain models because just like with the utilization of higher end materials, constant taper can improve overall feel.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
