    Stamp me “Forged” because my scorecard is a forgery and I’m a faudulent golfer.

    Dont do a bunch of stamping myself but paintfil is fun to play with during the long drug out michigan winters. I too use nail polish and always feel kinda funny asking women in the nail polish isle which ones are the most durable. Actually a decent way to start conversations with random women….. I also usually turn the part im cleaning the excess off upside down that way if i have too much remover it doesnt get down into the spots i want to keep paint in.

    I guess this fine gentleman’s point is if he can do it, anybody can. Point taken. But a bit weak for the GolfWRX site, no?

      Is this what the game of golf has come to? Stamping silliness on wedges for showing off and stupid yuks? Childishness taken to the extreme by incompetent gearhead flops.

    Why this custom stamping craze on wedges? Is this to imitate the pros? Or is it to satisfy the inner child that resides in adult men on the golf course? Or is it just another stupid fad so that duffers have something to compare and talk about.

    Interesting, but how about something useful like how to sharpen your grooves; i.e. what tools are used, are there rotary bits available, etc

      Forget stamping and just use a Sharpie to scrawl your fancy customized wedge ego statement.

        Johnny— Kinda what I do scrawl on all the lead tape on the back with a Sharpie. Seriously I have stamped a few for the heck of it. One thing I do different is I hold my stamp with a pair of medium sized vice grips. That way you have the orientation of the letter correctly and do not hit your fingers. But in all seriousness if someone wants stamped wedges more power to them. Me it does not do any good since I use so much lead tape

      I prefer the U.S. Postal Service stamp set… mint stamps for collectors.

    Nice tip about the metal plate. Been doing it on my wooden work bench, and do have to hit harder/sharper to get a good stamp.

    Using nail polish to color-fill is not so much a problem for stamp on back of the clubface, But I do find that enamel paints (like from hobby store, for model cars, etc) last better if stamping on sole of the club (near the club number, I like to put wedge bounce number there). Nail polish will chip and flake off from the ground abuse, but the enamel hobby paint seems to last longer.

    I want my wedges custom stamped to express my feeelings for my clubs and to show off my unique clubs in my WITB arsenal of weapons. I want to talk about my stamped wedges with my golfing buddies and to show off how pretty they are to look at… just like the pros do.

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.
