    Clearly Gankas is for the millennial golfer. His information is excellent because it works. I’ve watched 5 of his YouTube videos and seen how George interacts and then corrects his students with video, metrics and then a hands on ( literally) help. I could see anyone over 50 years old struggling with the information overload. The YouTube video with the 10year old girl was fascinating in that he was able to get her to hit a 180 yard drive with a 70 mph swing speed. Her track man numbers were pretty well perfect.
    George has a gift of individualising his instruction.

    Seems as if Gankas was saying golf is a game of opposites – taller at address produces good posture through the ball, flying elbow leads to natural shallowing of the club, and then leaving the arms at the top without pulling, but feeling the pressure in the lead arm on the chest leads to more speed. It appears Gankas does not like a hip slide or the lead hip rising but leaving your hips centered and rotating them, then pushing off as the club reaches parallel on the downswing. Not confusing, just different from the patterns you may now be using.

      Without pulling, there is slack.

      Slack disrupts energy transfer.

      Pulling begins with the lats, creating tautness from lats to hands.

    I thought good info on shallowing the club. Different perspective.

    When you see videos like this it often send you more into a tail spin, due in part because the problems and or tips being examined aren’t ones you suffer from… Me and My golf vids are most often very good. This one IMO wasn’t…

    Sorry, but he just confused the snot out of me.
    Waaay too much information. And the “teacher” can’t hit a ball to save his life. lol

      TMAC.. agree, BS baffles brains.

      Keep the right palm facing the sky and eliminate release
      and clubhead will sweep the inside quadrant of the ball.

      That is the only shallow that counts.

Mitsubishi Diamana WB: Club Junkie takes a technology deep dive

Published

on

Earlier this week, Mitsubishi announced the return of its iconic Whiteboard profile with the new Diamana WB shaft.

In our launch story, we offered a rundown of the key technology in the new WB — 80-ton Dialead pitch fiber, Aerospace-grade MR70 carbon fiber, Consistent Feel Design, and the Xlink Tech Resin System. To go deeper, however, we enlisted our Resident Club Junkie and bona fide shaft nut, Brian Knudson, to track down someone from Mitsubishi at the PGA Show. Fortunately, Mitsubishi’s Director of Global Aftermarket Sales, Jonathan Alongi, was on hand to answer all of BK’s questions.

Check out their discussion about the new WB, as well as the 20th anniversary of the original design, in the video above — time stamps of key points below, including a definitive answer as to how the surfboard graphic ended up on the original Whiteboard in 2004!

  • :40 – Mitsubishi Japan expands to the U.S. in 2004
  • :50 – “The shaft that set the standard”
  • 1:12 – “The ‘board is back”
  • 1:45 – WB or Whiteboard? Or both?
  • 1:55 – The first iteration of the sixth generation of Diamana
  • 2:10 – Incorporating key technology from a 20-year journey
  • 3:10 – Modifying the tip section for more ball speed
  • 3:50 – Delivering ball speed in a low-launch, low-spin shaft
  • 4:20 – Drilling down on the shaft profile compared to the original Whiteboard
  • 5:00 – The most impressive element of the new WB
  • 5:30 – Butt, mid, tip specifications
  • 6:00 – WB’s iconic graphics and the Diamana legacy — flowers, surfboard, numbering system
  • 8:15 – An abundance of available weights and flexes
  • 8:55 – More players going lightweight

Check out more photos and see what GolfWRXers are saying about Mitsubishi WB in the forums.
