UST Mamiya LIN-Q Purple Shaft Review
Written by Bill Bush on
UST Mamiya LIN-Q Purple Shaft
UST Mamiya’s new LIN-Q shaft family introduces their new Q-Fiber technology for strong energy transfer and stability. The UST Mamiya LIN-Q Purple is the medium launch, medium spin option of the two LIN-Q shafts. In my opinion, it’s arguably UST Mamiya’s best shaft in their current lineup.
The Looks
There are two different UST Mamiya LIN-Q shafts, but the purple is by far the flashiest.
While the shiny purple base grabs all of the attention, the yellow LIN-Q and UST Mamiya branding really pops. There are also subtle black graphics mixed in when you look up close. I’m not a big LA Lakers fan, but it’s hard for me to look at this and not think of Magic Johnson and the LA Lakers losing to the Chicago Bulls in the 1991 NBA Finals. Say what you will, the LIN-Q Purple is a cool looking golf shaft.
How Does it Feel?
UST Mamiya designed the LIN-Q Purple to have a more stable tip and mid section. “Stability” shouldn’t be confused for “stout” or “boardy.” The goal of the Q-Fiber that UST Mamiya utilizes in this shaft is to transfer more energy back into the ball. Maybe it’s just me, but I can feel when a “bad shaft” is wobbly (for lack of a better term). It just doesn’t hold up throughout the swing and you can feel the energy loss. This makes me feel inconsistent and out of control. Fortunately, with the LIN-Q Purple, you can really feel the shaft holding up in the swing and then fully releasing at impact.
As a result, I was more confident in my shot control and got pretty good performance numbers.
On-Course Performance
| Club Speed | Ball Speed | Launch Angle | Spin | Carry (Yds) | Total (Yds) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 117 | 173.2 | 12º | 2515 | 286 | 309 |
I know it’s early in the year, and we haven’t been playing much real golf in the northern half of the United States, but MAN, I am not mad at how I’ve been swinging the driver! One thing I’ll say about my experiences with UST Mamiya shafts is that they often perform exactly as they say on the tin. The LIN-Q Purple was no exception and proved to be a decent match for my driver swing. Averaging 12º of launch and ~2500 rpms on my spin is about as mid/mid as it gets in my game. My flight was piercing and dispersion was tight. Additionally, adjusting trajectory as necessary is very doable, and in my case, I maintained the medium spin whether launching lower or higher.
Final Thoughts – UST Mamiya LIN-Q Purple Shaft
I don’t know how factual this is, but I feel like UST Mamiya has the most diverse wood shaft lineup they may have ever had. They’ve put together a well-rounded group of profiles and feels for a wide range of players. Out of the whole UST bunch, the LIN-Q Purple may be my favorite. The consistency in the feel and performance make the LIN-Q Purple easy to control and to just trust off the tee. Of course, like any shaft, it’s highly recommended that you get fit and do proper testing to see how your specific swing responds to the equipment.
