ABOUT THE TENSEI™ AV RAW “FIRST RESPONDER” GOLF SHAFT The TENSEI “First Responder,” a limited edition wood shaft cosmetic based on the acclaimed TENSEI AV RAW Blue structure, blends modern performance with a classic, smooth bend profile. The RAW finish reveals the Aluminum Vapor (AV) Coated Weave in the butt section, a visible cue of the added stability this unique weave provides. Power transfers straight from the hands through the ball for a consistent, mid-launching flight. The 55g option includes our Straight Flight Weighting (SFW) system which makes it easier to turn the club over through impact, reducing the tendency to fade the ball or even promoting a slight draw.
