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.

i just sold my v6 irons….loved look and feel. as a high ball hitter they simply spun too much for my needs. Although i just played erin hills with them after some rain the extra spin not necessary. also i delofted to a more aggresive loft and still too spinny for me. basically 7000 spin with 7-iron. most newer irons are 5500-6300. i just played wilson forged c300 and the spin on those were a tad low side 5200 so i had a ton of fliers. sucks cause i loved both irons….

Your ‘love’ of your iron club is admirable… so romantic… so sick…

If you hit a “cut” with a rusty iron, will you need to get a tetanus shot?

Is there anyway to prevent rust on raw clubs?

Don’t buy raw clubs….done

It really isn’t a very good idea to apply any type of mixture containing salt or sodium chloride to steel. The combination of moisture, oxygen, and salt eats away and corrodes steel much faster than most people would want. Depends on how long you want to keep those irons I suppose…

If you want rust, wrap in a wet paper towel.
For me, I hate oxidation. It looks like an uncared-for club to me, but I’m weird.

Do Wilson engineers compensate groove dimension to take into account the changes from rust buildup and shedding? The USGA and R&A will investigate any violations, infringements, contraventions and felonies to the Rules of Golf !!!

Just use Vinegar

… unpasteurized apple cider vinegar works best …. balsamic vinegarette is also good… 😉

OK..
LH V6 irons available-“choose the custom option”- but no LH FG Tour 100 Forged irons?
None?
Who at Wilson decided to skip making a LH version of the “Centennial Model” forged iron?

Checked them out on their site. They are great looking irons and I dig the raw option. Whats kinda crazy is that they are $99 more. Seems like removing the chrome plating process should reduce the cost to build, so I assume the up-charge is for the cool factor?

Put some hydrochloric acid into a plastic bottle
Dissolve a little copper in the hydrochloric acid
Dilute the copper and acid solution with a bit of water
Clean your Iron heads thoroughly
Apply the acid solution
Allow the metal to rust
Done!

… soaking them in morning fresh ur!ne also works albeit a tad slower than the high PH acid formulation you recommend…. 😎

ooopa… that should read “low pH”… my bad… 😮
