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.

Liked the 4 drills, can see more value in first 3, based on my game.
Already practice an over correction to bring ball back to straight when I need to.
Wonder what the 11 swing elements are that they said these 4 drills addressed.

How often do you practice drills, and how many repetitions do you do? Practicing 10 minutes with a small bucket of balls is dubious.

Very good video guys all great tips. Really like the first two practice drills.
Awesome and very well explained!
Happy Holidays…look forward to more videos in the New Year!

So, Don, how is your X-Factor stretch between your hips and shoulders at the start of the downswing? Are you stiffening up with age or are you still supple and strong?
Your personal website is very nice….

ooops… forgot to ask you what you thought of practice drills 3 and 4 …. they sounded like attempts at bandaid fixes to me and requiring instructor supervision to be effective.

You know I’ve always had a very short backswing unfortunately but pay a high degree of focus on staying very relaxed thru-out the swing motion both back and down. I’m now 52 and distance is staying to an acceptable level. Look forward to more videos!

Do your hips clear and your shoulders lag during the downswing into impact… or… do your hips and shoulders essentially rotate in unison from the top of the swing down to impact? These torso torque styles separates the good golfers from the weekend recreational and inflexible golfers. Big difference.

1. Ball striking with irons… take divot ahead of ball.
2. Stable lower body pivot… no hip sway… clear hips… X-factor.
3. “Set to point?”… swing BS to 9 o’clock… FThru to 3 o’clock.
4. Exaggerate driver face to cause hooks and slices… and then close in on correct hand positioning… roll trail hand over for hooks… trail palm up for slices… practice until you find a happy medium… GAWD!!!
