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.

GRAND OPENING, GRAND CLOSIN’!!!
Austin golf culture hahahaha! We live in Austin and there is 0 golf culture here. Show me great places to practice, show me great places to play vs Houston, Dallas, or anywhere in Florida. Austin, my friends ia not a golf culture place, its all about Yeti coolers, killin beers on a float tube, or hunting period. Daddy had some extra money and slid it to the side for his son to get noticed

Dude, they’re just shirts, nothing more! I hate this idea that everything has to be about representing a lifestyle or some ethos they think sounds good on social media. No matter how many times you repeat them, all the silly little meaningless buzzwords in the world aren’t going to make these shirts more than just recycled, overpriced shirts! I guess it is especially tiresome when a “company” does this when there is nothing that they are doing that is inventive, exciting, creative, or the least bit interesting. Ah, whatever. They’re not the first to do this and they certainly won’t be the last.

Guys from Texas selling cotton golf shirts? Marketing the opposite of genius move to tout that’s the appropriate thread for Texas heat. And the one guy’s name is Hobson, REALLY? I can hear Al Czervik now, “Hey Hobson, move over I’m driving!”.

Just not sure how the business is sustainable offering golf shirts from $75-$95. I love the style of golf shirt, but just don’t see too many people going this route. Hopefully they succeed. Looks like a great product.

I think that price point works if the designs are on point and it’s high quality. I think Peter Millar and Travis Mathew make great stuff that are worth that price although I’d never wear Peter Millar off the course…too golfy/dressy. I’ve found Criquet doesn’t quite have the same quality as those two brands.

Any cheap golf shirt from Walmart or Target is adequate. What I want to know is should you clamp your jewels tightly to your scrotom…. or should they dangle freely in the breeze?!!
