DIAMANA WHITEBOARD REVIEW // Diamana's Best Shaft Yet?

Today Ian is in the bay to test out the brand new Diamana WB line of shafts. Made for the 20th anniversary of the Diamana shaft line, the WB features the same stiff feel as the original offering, with modernized technology and style. Se how Ian adapts to the line in his test session with the shafts.

can you do a low spin shaft comparison video like this new white board vs ventus black 6x vs gd tour ad vf 6x etc etc

I played a whiteboard back in the day. I’m a Ventus Blue TR 7X guy today but I have a fitting in 12 days… woot!

[RVK-lrno]

I've been playing the Diamana GT in 60TX for about a year now - with my swing speed around 115-120mph this new whiteboard would certainly be interesting. Ultimately I've always liked shaft profiles that have a bit of give in the midsection with a super stiff butt profile, and have never really liked super boardy feeling shafts (think Smoke Black, Ventus Black) so that'd be what I look for the most if I ever try this one out. Have been lucky to try out lots of different shaft profiles across heaps of manufacturers but I've always gravitated towards Mitsubishi - the way they describe their respective shaft profiles re feel/launch/spin has always matched what I've seen during my own testing which is assuring as a consumer

Like seriously Ian is like the golf review oracle - leaves others in the dust and makes it easy for semi-geeks like me easy to understand

I agree with Fraz… they should have gone all white with high gloss… maybe even gold graphics for the anniversary… it would get more TV time that way 😊

I’m still playing my Diamana WB 93 hybrid, I also had the 3W and Driver in 73 and 63. Loved them back then and can’t wait to try the new version and re-unite my hybrid!

Would have been interesting to see you test the 3 wood, and 5 wood, down a flex in Stiff flex. I think your results would have been "better." Your results were still phenomenal. Sometimes we talk ourselves out of performance.
Great review. Keep up the fantastic work.
👍

[Mat_Scott]

If the X is too stiff, why not just drop down a flex and give it a try?

[NickPage]

Ian finding a new gear today! There is something about a super stable saft that allows you to just let it rip!

My dad bought me the Titleist 913D2 for Christmas one year after I had been wanting a Titleist driver forever. At the time I had no clue about club fittings and all that, and mentioned to him that I liked the one with the black shaft bc it looked the best and matched the driver the best lol they used the 72g weight in the x5ct for the stiff shafts. I still to this day use this driver which I’ve kept looking damn near new, and over time grew to love this shaft and always wondered how it would compare to the newer popular ones out now. Been wanting to get a new driver for awhile now so I’ll definitely be testing this new version

You worked up a nice wee glow there Mr Fraser 🥵🤣 and you gave that last drive the beans 👍
Still got a Blueboard 93g x5ct x-flex trying to get back in the bag 😮😂

[victorchen]

Was fitted for the Diamana df, still love it

[treeflip]

Comparison to D+ limited? Been playing that for 2 seasons.

[adamgewirtz]

Any swings with the diamana t+ from the qi line? I made the mistake going with it but i definitely feel like im swinging too fast for it and its high torque. Could deflection of the shaft be causing a more downward attack angle? I'm having trouble hitting up with it and spinning it way too much.

[robh]

I was fitted into the hzrdus smoke green would this shaft be ok too?

[FredzGolf]

I've had a few Whiteboards over the years! Will have to check out pricing compared to the Velocore!

[parmanduke]

An oldie but goody just got better. I used to play the WB 63x and 73x back in the day.

[NoCapGolf]

Have the dwb 73xstiff tipped 1/2 and butted an inch in driver and 3wood. Glad they came out with an updated model as I’ve never hit a shaft that feel and performs as good.

[scottwatson]

Fantastic review guys, I played Diamana Whiteboards a few years ago but as I have gotten faster I realised that shafts with a stiffer handle such as the Ventus Black and Ventus Black TR are a much better fit for my swing, I am keen to try this new WB shaft after Ian described it as feeling stiffer in the handle and heavier overall, Cam Champ and Gary Woodland are playing the 63 TX and 73 TX respectively in their drivers which verifies that its aimed more towards PGA Tour players with loads of speed, maybe the 83 TX would be perfect shaft for Mikey in his fairway woods.

[jobleft]

I still play the OG made in Japan Mitsubishi Diamana 73 x5cT stiff Blue Board that I got from the Titleist Custom shop years ago . I just keep sticking new titleist heads on it but added a half inch after the TS’s came out .
I’m just down the street from your Toronto studio if you ever want to test it out vs the newer offerings Ian . Cheers James
