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.

Another way, if it’s a long carry, is to chip down to the forward tee and play over with about three clubs less. Easy bogey.
Holes like the one in this video, though, are stupid. I would never play on a course that had one.

I dont have this problem because I don’t travel to dumps like Mexico. You will get drugged and your clubs stolen before you reach this hole anyways.

Based on your ignorant comment I’d say the chances are high you don’t travel very far beyond your fly over state trailer park.

Hawaii is so much better than Mexico. Who goes to Mexico besides drunk college kids?

I will never ever vacation in murderous Mexico again. It’s a narco state feeding U.S. druggies. Stay away, it’s dangerous!!
