About the brand Basiléus

Tokyo, the capital of Japan and the largest metropolitan area in the world, is home to the most prestigious maker of golf shafts: Basiléus.

At the helm of Basiléus is renowned composite engineer Akatsuka-san. Born in 1952 in Aichi Prefecture, he graduated from the prestigious Kanagawa University.

After graduating, he began his career at Somar Industries, where he was involved in the development of carbon fiber applications. Since the 1980s, he has specialized in the development of carbon shafts in Japan, and is recognized as the most experienced and respected developer in this field.

Akatsuka-san has established himself as the leading engineer of carbon shafts. Many golf clubs are equipped with shafts designed by him, not only for his own brand, Basiléus, but also for other well-known golf brands, for whom he develops their graphite shafts.

At Basiléus, we work exclusively with the highest quality materials. Our main supplier is Toray Industries, who also supply materials to the aerospace and motorsports industries. By combining our skills and experience with the best materials and craftsmanship, Basiléus creates golf shafts that are unmatched in the industry.

The shafts are carefully manufactured in small series and during the production process they undergo several thorough checks and analyses to meet strict quality standards.

A special feature of Basiléus is the unique combination of weight and stiffness, made possible by the use of high-quality materials. Some shafts weigh only 26 grams, making them the lightest in the golf world.

Basiléus offers golfers a shaft that is perfectly matched to their specific swing style and club speed.

The quality and performance of Basiléus shafts have been noticed by tour professionals. Many top players, including Atthaya Thitikul, Danielle Kang, Harold Varner, Shi Yuting, and Eimi Koga, now trust Basiléus for their golf equipment.
