If you've been playing Japanese premium shafts for any length of time, you've almost certainly heard the name ATTAS.
The UST Mamiya THE ATTAS line (especially the many "V2" and later evolutions) has achieved true cult status among serious golfers - especially those who love smooth feel, mid launch, and very predictable dispersion.
Today we're looking at one of the most popular and still highly sought-after versions → the UST Mamiya THE ATTAS V2 6S
Quick Specs Overview - ATTAS V2 6S
- Weight → around 63-66g (plays closer to a true 60–64g range)
- Flex → Stiff (6S)
- Torque → low-mid (very good stability for the weight class)
- Launch → Mid → Mid-High
- Spin → Moderate (not super low, not crazy high)
- Kick Point → Mid
- Feel → Extremely smooth + lively (classic ATTAS DNA)
This is a very usable stiff flex for a very wide range of players:
- Swing speed roughly 92–108 mph
- Players who want higher launch than super low-launch heads
- People who hate boardy/harsh feeling shafts
Why Golfers Still Go Crazy For The ATTAS V2 6S in 2026
1. That legendary smooth & lively feel The ATTAS line has always been famous for feeling smooth yet still responsive. The V2 version keeps this magic while tightening up stability → especially in the tip section compared with much older ATTAS models.
You get beautiful loading through transition + very natural release through impact, without any harshness or "stickiness".
2. Excellent mid-high launch with control Perfect for players who:
- Struggle to get the ball in the air with modern low-launch heads
- Want more carry without ballooning
- Like a strong penetrating flight that still holds its line
3. Very forgiving timing Even with a quicker transition / aggressive move → the shaft doesn't punish you. This is why so many Japanese fitting masters still reach for ATTAS models when a customer says "I want something smooth… but I don't want to lose control."
4. Classic Japanese premium quality & consistency UST Mamiya has always been famous for extremely tight tolerances. When you buy an ATTAS → you know exactly what you're getting.
Who Should Play the ATTAS V2 6S?
Ideal player profile
- Swing speed ~93–108 mph
- Likes smooth loading shafts (hates super firm / low-torque sniper shafts)
- Wants mid-high launch + moderate spin
- Prefers Japanese premium feel (very different DNA from many American/Euro shafts)
- Looking for consistency + confidence on off-center strikes
Great match with these head types
- Modern larger 460cc heads that need a bit more launch
- Slightly higher-spinning heads that need stability
- Players moving from Diamana, Speeder, Ventus Blue, Motore Speeder, Tensei 1K Black/Blue etc
Still Worth Buying in 2026?
YES — absolutely - especially if you can find a good used one in great condition.
The ATTAS V2 6S still performs extremely well with today's drivers. Many players actually prefer it over some of the newest ultra-low launch / ultra-low torque shafts that feel sterile to them.
(For example, it's a surprisingly nice pairing on heads like the Ping G430 LST when you want that classic smooth feel without sacrificing too much control.)
