Mitsubishi Shaft Driver — PGM MG039 Deluxe — Mitsubishi Shaft Option, 5 Flex Choices | FairwayWise
The PGM MG039 is the flagship driver in the PGM lineup with a Mitsubishi shaft option. Adjustable loft. Five shaft flex configurations — including two with aftermarket Mitsubishi shafts.
This isn’t a budget driver with a made-for shaft that borrows a brand name. The Mitsubishi option is a genuine upgrade — the kind of shaft that typically costs $250-300 as an aftermarket purchase. Built into the club at the point of sale.
GolfWRX regulars know the difference between a “made-for” stock shaft and an aftermarket original. Stock shafts use the brand name but skimp on materials. Aftermarket shafts — like the genuine Mitsubishi Tensei series — use higher-grade carbon fiber with tighter tolerances.
The MG039 gives you the choice. Standard graphite if you want value. Mitsubishi if you want the performance difference that better materials deliver.

The Mitsubishi Shaft — Why It’s Worth Talking About
Aftermarket shafts use higher-grade carbon fiber with tighter manufacturing tolerances than stock “made-for” shafts. The difference: 1-2mph more ball speed on average. Better dispersion.
More consistent flex from batch to batch. GolfWRX gearheads obsess over this stuff for a reason — the shaft is the engine of the club. A great head with a mediocre shaft underperforms. A good head with a premium shaft overdelivers.
The MG039 gives you the choice. Standard graphite R, SR, or S flex at the base price. Mitsubishi R or S flex at the premium tier.
You’re not locked into a stock shaft and forced to reshaft later. If you know you want the Mitsubishi, you get it from day one without paying $250-300 at a club fitter on top of the driver price. If standard graphite fits your game, you save the money.
But here’s the thing. A $250 shaft only helps if it fits your swing.
The wrong flex in a premium shaft performs worse than the right flex in a stock shaft. If you don’t know your swing speed or launch characteristics, get fitted or start with standard graphite. The Mitsubishi option is for golfers who already know what they need.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is the Mitsubishi shaft a real aftermarket shaft or a “made-for” version?
A: It’s a genuine Mitsubishi shaft — not a watered-down stock version that borrows the brand name. GolfWRX users consistently warn that “made-for” shafts use cheaper materials than aftermarket originals. The MG039’s Mitsubishi option is the real thing: higher-grade carbon fiber, tighter tolerances, better consistency than the stock graphite alternatives.
Q2: Which shaft should I choose from five options?
A: Standard graphite R (under 90mph), SR (90-100mph), S (100-110mph). Mitsubishi R and S for the same speed ranges with premium materials.
If you’re between flexes and choosing Mitsubishi, the upgrade is worth it — better materials mean more consistent performance across your swing speed range. If you’re buying standard graphite and unsure of flex, go softer — it’s easier to control a slightly soft shaft than a boardy one.
Q3: What makes this driver “deluxe” vs the MG038 adjustable?
A: The shaft. MG038 has one standard carbon shaft.
MG039 offers five — including the Mitsubishi aftermarket option. Both have adjustable hosels. The MG039’s premium shafts are what separate it.
