GolfWRX Spotted: Mitsubishi Diamana D Limited shafts
This week on the PGA Tour, it’s the Genesis Invitational at Riveria, and we’ve spotted some pretty cool things on the range including an all-new Mitsubishi Chemical Diamana D Limited shaft. We reached out to Mitsubishi Chemical to get some more information on the newly spotted shafts and we were provided with all the details.
From Mitsubishi
“For the first time ever players all over the world, including Asia and Japan, will be able to add the low-flighting power of Mitsubishi Chemical’s D Limited “White Board” profile to their game.”
When diving deeper into the technical side of the new Diamana D Limited shafts, they are Mitsubishi’s way to offer the same performance and technology as D+Plus Limited Edition “Whiteboard” shaft, but now in a wider variety of weights and flexes. This extension to the line is win-win from a fitting standpoint at the retail level and for golfers with moderate clubhead speeds since there are a lot of players who can benefit from a profile designed to offer a lower trajectory and lower spin.
“The ‘White Board’ profile has always been one of our most successful for driver and fairway woods. The winners of six Majors in the last three years play the current generation. As more players recognize the potential, we realized the need to share them with a wider audience.” – Mark Gunther, VP of Sales & Marketing for MCA GOLF.
The most dramatic addition to the D Limited line are two additional flexes for the 50 and 60-gram weight options SR- Stiff Regular for those golfers in between and X, which fits in-between Mitsubishi’s traditional Stiff and Tour X. These additional options give golfers and fitters the opportunity to be more precise when getting into the right shaft.
It’s important to note that other flexes and options haven’t changed for golfers used to the TX models, but the small adjustments made to fit the shaft into the 50g weight range allow the profile to be more versatile in the category.
Mitsubishi Diamana D Limited Technologies Features
DIALEAD PITCH FIBER: DIALEAD Pitch Fiber is strategically utilized throughout the shaft to produce focused areas of increased stability on the locations that undergo the most stress. This Pitch Fiber is expensive and difficult to produce, but its tremendous strength to weight ratio compared to traditional carbon fiber makes it useful to engineers to maximize the shaft’s strength and ability to transfer energy.
TOUGH-QURE RESIN SYSTEM: The Mitsubishi Chemical prepreg contains resins that cure harder and twice as fast as traditional resins, which creates superior strength and stability. To keep the signature Diamana feels Mitsubishi use a Block Copolymer Technology that allows Tough-QURE resin to link softer (more elastic) polymers and harder (more durable) polymers together, to produce a prepreg that can significantly strengthen the shaft without sacrificing feel.
As a company known for creating and developing technology to create better materials across multiple industries, it’s hard to go much further in-depth than that explanation from Mitsubishi engineers.
Finally, the shaft is given its signature ion plating to complete the unique look. The plating process takes place in a vacuum that allows the silver alloy ions to fuse to the shaft creating a finish that is hard to miss.

Does anyone think it will be coming to the SIM lines? Would it be worth it to wait on purchasing The 3wd or driver to find out if it’s better than the S+60 or FW75?

500 bucks. For a SHAFT. Wow!! The sad part is that I would pay that if I saw positive gains on the launch monitor.
