    There is no such thing as golfers, golfing, or let’s go golf! Golf is a noun not a verb. The proper terminology would be players or let’s play

    I have a Bullseye and an 8802. How do you tell what year they are made?

    It was great and still is great because it is pure. I learned to putt using the heavy blade model with a leather grip and trying to imitate Bob Charles. There’s no hiding a bad putting stroke using a Bullseye. Here’s another pure putter…the Spalding Cash-In.

    I still have my Original obtained new in 1958?(I was 15)…Same leather, flat reminder over size grip. I play an Itsy Bitsy now, but the Bulls-Eye is iconic and I’ll keep it forever. Hmmm…maybe I’ll put it in the bag next round.

    The Bullseye was/is great because it works. I am still using one and have a 2nd as backup. To me it is easier to hit the ball in the center when it is basically at the end of the shaft. I have an Odyssey putter and a Nike, but I keep going back to the Bullseye.

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.
