Mitsubishi Diamana WB: What you need to know + club build, on-course testing
GolfWRX’s Resident Club Junkie, Brian Knudson, was naturally excited to get his hands on Mitsubishi’s new Diamana WB shaft.
In this video, BK gives you a brief overview of the new WB, builds up a driver, and takes it to the course for some testing.
With the rebirth of the iconic Whiteboard profile, Mitsubishi didn’t just re-issue a classic, but rather infused all the company’s latest tech into a new shaft, paying homage to the original with its quintessentially Hawaiian-inspired stylings. A summary of that impressive roster of technology, below.
- 80-ton Dialead pitch fiber: Positioned in the handle, Dialead is designed to deliver greater ball speed via better energy transfer.
- Aerospace-grade MR70 carbon fiber adds additional strength, and 46-ton fiber in angle plies in the tip section reduce torque for tighter shot dispersion.
- Consistent Feel Design: Engineers target minimal variance across shafts (butt OD, weight, and balance point) to make the fitting process easier.
- Xlink Tech Resin System: Engineers continue to reduce resin content and increase carbon fiber volume for greater feel without sacrificing strength and durability.

This is about the dumbest thing I’ve read on here. What makes “Celebrities” experts on the topic.
You people have lost your damn minds!

That’s easy.
Give them free clubs. Give them free balls. Let them play for free on the most expensive private golf courses.

Reduce the cost: equipment, incl second hands, is expensive with golf shops stocking only premium brands. Green fees, lessons, club membership, clearly out of reach.
Exclusivity reigns in golf making it an elitist sport. Country club vibe is so colonial and racist in diverse countries that access is limited by association.
