Cameron Champ’s amazing loading and unloading of his Catapulting Arm Unit
When Cameron Champ describes his action, he uses one word: slingshot. This is a great description of what his action is. See in this video how his backswing is a gorgeous gathering and loading of the arm-club unit that positions itself to be collected by the kinetic chain that is the Cameron Champ Catapulting Slingshot! Enjoy!

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.

Good video…more focus should be put into proper arm and hand function.
Nicely done looking forward to more videos in the future!

Nice video Shawn, and aimed at the average recreational golfer… who can only relate to imagery and feel. However when you are talking about “catapulting the arm unit” you can only explain it scientifically to be accurate.
Have you studied the work of Dr. Steven Nesbitt on his alpha-beta-gamma torque analysis to better explain yourself? Here’s an interesting scientific paper that might help you:

I suggest you look at a Moe Norman swing at the finish. Nice and high. Considered one of the best ball strikers ever.

Shaw,
Great video! You really should contact Bobby Greenwood. He has been teaching this type of movement for 30 plus years. You would enjoy speaking with him. Greenwood is a retired PGA pro who not only teaches a solid fundamental, he also plays to it and with success. Check him out and give him a call.

Muscles contract ie pull.
Position ourselves ahead of the ball during the BS
and we are in position to pull from both sides through impact.
Is it really any more complicated.

Excellent visualization for the down swing. My inconsistency has been diagnosed by your slingshot video. Before impact my rt. elbow stops leading and quits moving where the forearm and hands throw the club at the ball. Great job. keep them coming.
