Our Andrew Tursky talked with Schenk for PGATour.com’s Equipment Report. An excerpt below:

In fact, Schenk travels with so many extra clubs that he needs not one, but two golf bags to carry them all.

“I travel with a little more equipment than most people,” Schenk said. “It’s fun for me, probably more fun than playing, honestly.”

He’s a shot maker, and he sets up his golf bag to play to that strength, keeping multiple drivers around for different courses and conditions.

“I’ll do something different (with each of my driver setups),” Schenk told GolfWRX.com. “Some are for a draw, some fade, some I can do both with. Some high, some low. Just fitting whatever the golf course is calling for. If I’m slicing it, I’ll probably play a driver with more loft to help me turn it over a little more.”

But that’s not the only reason he travels with so many clubs. It’s also for the pure enjoyment of strategizing and tinkering.

Mitsubishi Diamana WB: What you need to know + club build, on-course testing

GolfWRX Staff

GolfWRX’s Resident Club Junkie, Brian Knudson, was naturally excited to get his hands on Mitsubishi’s new Diamana WB shaft.

In this video, BK gives you a brief overview of the new WB, builds up a driver, and takes it to the course for some testing.

With the rebirth of the iconic Whiteboard profile, Mitsubishi didn’t just re-issue a classic, but rather infused all the company’s latest tech into a new shaft, paying homage to the original with its quintessentially Hawaiian-inspired stylings. A summary of that impressive roster of technology, below.

80-ton Dialead pitch fiber: Positioned in the handle, Dialead is designed to deliver greater ball speed via better energy transfer.
Aerospace-grade MR70 carbon fiber adds additional strength, and 46-ton fiber in angle plies in the tip section reduce torque for tighter shot dispersion.
Consistent Feel Design: Engineers target minimal variance across shafts (butt OD, weight, and balance point) to make the fitting process easier.
Xlink Tech Resin System: Engineers continue to reduce resin content and increase carbon fiber volume for greater feel without sacrificing strength and durability.
