The Mitsubishi Vanquish VV, also known as Vanquish Green, is a slightly lower launching version of the original Vanquish or Vanquish Blue.\u00a0 Incredible stability for an ultra-light shaft.\u00a0 Smooth feel.\u00a0 Light weight promotes faster ball speed.<\/p>\n

\"Mitsubishi<\/p>\n

Introduction<\/p>\n

Roughly two and a half years ago, I tested the original Vanquish [review HERE<\/a>] and was pleasantly surprised by the level of stability that Mitsubishi was able to pack into an ultra-light shaft.\u00a0 Matt Meeker has been gaming Vanquish and singing its praises ever since.\u00a0 When the Mitsubishi Vanquish VV showed up at my door, I knew that my \u201cfinished\u201d 2026 bag was in trouble.\u00a0 Read on to find out whether I\u2019ve made the switch to ultra-light and if the Vanquish Green was able to unseat Meeker\u2019s beloved Vanquish Blue.<\/p>\n

\"Mitsubishi<\/p>\n

Looks<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, the Mitsubishi Vanquish VV bears a strong resemblance to the original Vanquish.\u00a0 The iridescent \u201cVanquish\u201d graphic is solid on one side, just an outline on the \u201clogo down\u201d side.\u00a0 Beneath the solid Vanquish is a honeycomb pattern that gives this shaft second look visual interest.<\/p>\n

\"Mitsubishi<\/p>\n

Also interesting is the shift from a glossy finish on the butt side to a matte black on the lower portion.\u00a0 On this matte section, there is a small Mitsubishi graphic and a \u201cPrecision Crafted\u201d logo that lets you know the shaft is built to a tolerance of one gram.<\/p>\n

While this shaft is an eye-catcher, Mitsubishi was more subtle about how it distinguishes the two Vanquish models.\u00a0 Just below the grip, there\u2019s a round Vanquish graphic on an iridescent green background.\u00a0 On the original model, that background is blue. [See Price \/ Buy<\/a>]<\/p>\n

\"Mitsubishi<\/p>\n

Feel<\/p>\n

Matt Meeker and I both had glowing notes about the feel of the\u00a0Mitsubishi Vanquish VV.\u00a0 At the top of my list was the word, \u201cEffortless.\u201d\u00a0 This shaft felt like a dog pulling on its leash, ready to take off without any encouragement.<\/p>\n

We also agreed on how smooth it is at all speeds.\u00a0 Meeker said, \u201cI never feel like I need to give it a minimum speed.\u201d\u00a0 I compared it to Mitsubishi\u2019s Diamana line for the way it flowed from butt to tip.\u00a0 Even when I swung as smooth and slow as I can, the Mitsubishi Vanquish VV felt buttery.<\/p>\n

Comparing the Vanquish VV to the original Vanquish, the VV is supposed to be slightly stiffer.\u00a0 Mitsubishi says it\u2019s \u201cmore stable\u201d where the Vanquish Blue has a \u201cmore active feel.\u201d\u00a0 Meeker felt the Green was softer but noted that might be his sense of the softer butt section.\u00a0 My feel was in line with Mitsubishi\u2019s description: the Blue had a more noticeable kick, the Green was more stout overall.<\/p>\n

\"Mitsubishi
\nPerformance<\/p>\n

For many golfers, the biggest reason to go to a lightweight shaft like the Mitsubishi Vanquish VV is speed.\u00a0 The Vanquish VV has that in spades.\u00a0 In my first testing session, I was getting ball speeds in the high 150s with other shafts.\u00a0 I popped in the Vanquish Green and registered 164 MPH on my first swing.\u00a0 For me, there is a clear, measurable speed boost from going lighter.<\/p>\n

\"Mitsubishi<\/p>\n

The obvious question is, \u201cMore speed is great, but did you keep the ball on this planet?\u201d\u00a0 Yes, and that\u2019s what really got me thinking that this could be a gamer for me.\u00a0 Hitting the Mitsubishi Vanquish VV side-by-side with the original Vanquish, the VV is noticeably more stable.\u00a0 With the Vanquish Blue, I was hitting big pulls.\u00a0 With the Vanquish Green, I was hitting a playable draw.\u00a0 Meeker hit both shafts straight, but he hits everything straight.<\/p>\n

\"Mitsubishi<\/p>\n

When I was having good days with the driver, the Mitsubishi Vanquish VV looked unbeatable.\u00a0 It was faster, it produced a strong, medium-height ball flight, and the dispersion was tight.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t have to baby this shaft \u2013 anything short of trying to snap it in two during the transition worked out well.<\/p>\n

\"Mitsubishi<\/p>\n

The only drawback is that, as an aggressive swinger, the Vanquish Green wasn\u2019t great on my bad days.\u00a0 Not that any shaft is going to fix my bad days, but a heavier shaft seems to keep my bad shots merely bad, not \u201creaching for another ball before the first one hits its apex.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Mitsubishi<\/p>\n

For those that like the tech talk, there\u2019s a lot to chat about with the Mitsubishi Vanquish VV.\u00a0 Like the original, it has Amorphous Wire Technology in the butt section, super low resin prepreg, and proprietary prepregs along the shaft\u2019s entire length.\u00a0 On a more practical note, the Vanquish Green features Consistent Feel Design like we\u2019ve seen in some Diamana lines to minimize variations in weights and flexes.\u00a0 Precision Crafted Design means that the tolerances for weight and frequency are just one \u2013 tighter than anything else in the industry.<\/p>\n

\"Mitsubishi<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll give Matt Meeker the final words in this section: \u201cHaving gamed the Vanquish Blue for several years, it seemed prudent this spring to evaluate a couple of other shafts that my Club Champion fitter thought might be good options.\u00a0 The timing of the new Vanquish VV arrival was ideal, and I added it to the mix.\u00a0 After some intensive field testing, I headed back to Club Champion for a launch monitor showdown.\u00a0 The winner was the Vanquish VV \u2013 and Mitsubishi has retained the driver shaft slot in my bag.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Mitsubishi<\/p>\n

The Mitsubishi Vanquish VV is offered in three weight classes \u2013 3, 4, and 5.\u00a0 The 3 comes in five flexes: R3, R2, R, S, and X, with uncut weights ranging from 39 grams to 45 grams.\u00a0 There are four flexes available in the 4 \u2013 R2, R, S, and X \u2013 and those shafts weight between 48 and 52 grams.\u00a0 Weighing between 54 and 59 grams, the 5 shafts come in five flexes: R2, R, SR, S, and X.

Conclusion<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve thought about dropping some weight to add speed and distance off the tee, the Mitsubishi Vanquish VV shaft is a must-try.\u00a0 For stability relative to weight, this shaft is hard to match, and it\u2019s built to some of the tightest tolerances in the golf industry.\u00a0 Visit your Mitsubishi fitter to try their Advanced Fitting Protocol [full details HERE<\/a>] and see if the Vanquish VV can end up in your bag.
