Diamana Shaft - A Winning Breed of Golf Shafts

The Diamana shaft by Mitsubishi Rayon has been in a long standing tradition of premier golf shafts.  Mitsubishi, the manufacturer, has several models to choose from, Red Board, White Board, and Blue Board.

The choosy golfer has come to expect more from shafts and what they provide for their games.  Diamana is at the head of the class.  Mitsubishi has a highly intensive and performance-oriented prototyping and testing process.  Most notably, tour players get heavily involved in the pro-typing process.  All the major tours give input to Mitsubishi along the way allowing continually and evolving improvement for the shaft all the way to market.  This process is matched by few shaft makers, a win-win for all involved.

To add to the extensive production process, Mitsubishi has what they call Vertical Integration technology.  This technology allows them to combine any number of resins and fibers required to increase the performance of the shaft.  Mitsubishi puts a lot of stock in this technology and labels this their Material Difference.

Below, is a Mitsubishi Diamana model summary:

Diamana Red Board is a low torque, active tip, stiff mid-section and softer butt section.  The active tip helps "load" the the shaft during the swing transition and promote a higher launch, a great distance achiever.  The stiff mid section provides an element of control.  This shaft is designed for the average to above average player looking to increase distance without giving up control.

Diamana White Board is a low torque, stiff tip, stiff mid-section and softer butt section.  The White Board provides the penetrating ball flight similar to the Blue Board.  This shaft is definitely geared for the stronger player looking for good control and slightly higher ball flight than the Blue Board.  Higher launch and low spin is definitely the trend to optimize distance.  The White Board provides this balance.

Diamana Blue Board shaft is probably the most popular and scrutinized of the three.  The Blue Board is a low torque, stiff tip shaft that offers a very balanced feel for a variety of shots.  A very stable mid-section offers a less kick to enhance balance and responsiveness.  The penetrating ball flight is well suited for the advanced player with plenty of swing speed, looking for a combination of balance, feel and versatility.

Golfers that understand the importance of shaft technology also know the Mitsubishi Diamana delivers.  Are you ready for the power and control of a Diamana?  If you are looking to upgrade your shaft during the off season, you owe it to yourself to check out the Diamana Shaft.
