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

Right arm straightening at impact (5/10,000 second) is
most timing demanding.
Best shafts are designed with no spine. eg Nunchuk
and are not timing demanding.

I’m sorry, I don’t think that’s how those adapters work. I get what you are saying about spines and puring, and that’s a subject of some debate as to whether or not that’s something or a load of hooey. But the main point is that in order for the adapter to work, it has to be oriented in the clubhead a certain way. You “lock in” the loft and lie settings with the cogs, but then you have to insert them in alignement on the bottom of the head. If you keep turning it you’re just setting it to a different combination. It’s all in the Optifit instructions: https://www.callawaygolf.com/optifitinstructions/
Also, totally off topic but does anyone else get huge Gary Cole vibes from Shawn Clement? You know, the guy that played Ricky Bobby’s dad, Reese Bobby?

Any shaft that exhibits that these days shouldn’t be played.
