Mitsubishi Diamana WB: Club Junkie takes a technology deep dive
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.

Guess what Sean, you’re not good at making custom Toulon blade putters that are supposed to sit square at address yet sits >10 degrees open when soled with minimal to no grip pressure at address and then charging $500 for them. Quit your day job, please.

Wanted to but could not sit and listen to that echo. Guys, amazon sells mics for $80. That was rough.

Fantastic technological discovery…. more weight in the head and hands, and less weight with a graphite shaft for vastly improved performance. This will destroy all the other putter companies who still have neanderthal designs. Callaway have a winner!!!

Finally, 2019 and this momentous discovery in putter technology. Why didn’t the putter design scientists come up with this solution decades ago?

Amateur hour. I produce TV commercials and you almost always use mics close to the chin, or hand-held mics just out of frame to the top. Never, never use the mic on the camera. Jeez.
