GolfWRX Spotted: Mitsubishi Diamana D Limited shafts

This week on the PGA Tour, it’s the Genesis Invitational at Riveria, and we’ve spotted some pretty cool things on the range including an all-new Mitsubishi Chemical Diamana D Limited shaft. We reached out to Mitsubishi Chemical to get some more information on the newly spotted shafts and we were provided with all the details.

From Mitsubishi

“For the first time ever players all over the world, including Asia and Japan, will be able to add the low-flighting power of Mitsubishi Chemical’s D Limited “White Board” profile to their game.”

When diving deeper into the technical side of the new Diamana D Limited shafts, they are Mitsubishi’s way to offer the same performance and technology as D+Plus Limited Edition “Whiteboard” shaft, but now in a wider variety of weights and flexes. This extension to the line is win-win from a fitting standpoint at the retail level and for golfers with moderate clubhead speeds since there are a lot of players who can benefit from a profile designed to offer a lower trajectory and lower spin.

“The ‘White Board’ profile has always been one of our most successful for driver and fairway woods. The winners of six Majors in the last three years play the current generation. As more players recognize the potential, we realized the need to share them with a wider audience.” – Mark Gunther, VP of Sales & Marketing for MCA GOLF.

The most dramatic addition to the D Limited line are two additional flexes for the 50 and 60-gram weight options SR- Stiff Regular for those golfers in between and X, which fits in-between Mitsubishi’s traditional Stiff and Tour X. These additional options give golfers and fitters the opportunity to be more precise when getting into the right shaft.

It’s important to note that other flexes and options haven’t changed for golfers used to the TX models, but the small adjustments made to fit the shaft into the 50g weight range allow the profile to be more versatile in the category.

Mitsubishi Diamana D Limited Technologies Features

DIALEAD PITCH FIBER: DIALEAD Pitch Fiber is strategically utilized throughout the shaft to produce focused areas of increased stability on the locations that undergo the most stress. This Pitch Fiber is expensive and difficult to produce, but its tremendous strength to weight ratio compared to traditional carbon fiber makes it useful to engineers to maximize the shaft’s strength and ability to transfer energy.

TOUGH-QURE RESIN SYSTEM: The Mitsubishi Chemical prepreg contains resins that cure harder and twice as fast as traditional resins, which creates superior strength and stability. To keep the signature Diamana feels Mitsubishi use a Block Copolymer Technology that allows Tough-QURE resin to link softer (more elastic) polymers and harder (more durable) polymers together, to produce a prepreg that can significantly strengthen the shaft without sacrificing feel.

As a company known for creating and developing technology to create better materials across multiple industries, it’s hard to go much further in-depth than that explanation from Mitsubishi engineers.

Finally, the shaft is given its signature ion plating to complete the unique look. The plating process takes place in a vacuum that allows the silver alloy ions to fuse to the shaft creating a finish that is hard to miss.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
