We get those questions often: How do I slow down my swing? How do I stop rushing my swing?
The answer is so much easier than you think and not what you would expect. We are absolute gravity geniuses and through our natural self-preserving “central nervous system,” we thrive when it comes to simple tasks with simple tools. The golf club is a simple tool. As soon as you understand completely what the heck it was designed for, the tempo and timing of the swing take care of themselves.
You won’t ever see a lumberjack fight with his axe or a construction worker fight with a sledgehammer. We will show you how to flow with your golf instrument in this video.

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

One of my lifelong checkpoints is to keep the shaft be- tween my arms throughout the swing, as shown in the halfway-down and follow-through positions. This happens without my thinking about it, if I maintain my posture, keep my head steady and allow my body to react to the club.
A proper release according to Nicklaus is to have the golf shaft
bisecting the two forarms in DS (P6) and follow through(Level left)
ie shoulders, elbows and hips all in the same plane at P8
with club shaft bisecting the two forarms
NOT trail hand rolled over the lead hand at P8

What Jack said was, “you can’t release too early on the downswing, as long as you move into your left side and swing the club from inside the target line”
Fulfill those two things a) move into the left side b) swing the club from inside the target line then you cant start the DS fast enough.
Trying to slow any one link in a chain , is asking for trouble.

The sledgehammer the axe and golf club including the clubhead are levers; as are the arms levers.
This system of compound levers are moved by our torso rotation, with the kinematic sequence providing the deceleration to accelerate the club lever.
ie the dog wags the tail, whether its an axe, a sledgehammer or golf club.
