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.

The Black Knight, Gary Player, was (is) well known for the step-through after the swing.

Please , more internal focus on body parts and position of this and that at the beginning during and at the end. When will this madness stop? with over 200 bones and 600 muscles, we know that there is money to be made with all those body parts to examine and dissect and turn into a golf lessons that sounds so wise, but really, are golfers that stupid to get suckered into these con jobs?
Read research by Gabrielle Wulf. External focus is the way. the only way for lasting change and effectiveness. That has nothing to do with position of body parts.

Aaaaah… I get it… external focus… mind over matter… sooo simple 😮

sooo simple… it truly is,
but chances of golfers finding proper instruction for external focus, is slim and none. It sure wont be from the PGA. They have made internal focus the pillar on which their teaching is based.
etc.

So I gather you don’t subscribe to “swing thoughts” based on valuable “swing tips”…. just swing with abandon and accept the (lousy) results…. or lisp-wise… THINK OR THWIM !!!!
