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

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

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.

Yeah …. I hope when the build a bag series occurs you take it in the order you both feel should be done from the client side. After seeing this the decision to has to be difficult what to pull the trigger on from the stand point of the knowledge and experience skills you both have acquired. Those were some impressive hits in the driver … so many still fear they aren’t at either being good enough or consistent enough to warrant spending money on a fit, so how much time is dedicated to discussing a decision after a fit session for the less experienced and knowledgeable player?

When you have an extreme shaft like this, it might be interesting in seeing a higher swing speed player like Ian, and then a lesser swing speed player like Mikey swing the club back to back. We could directly see the difference of performance produced (or lack thereof). Might be a lesson to someone considering the shaft of why they need to test it.

Ian taking the mick out of Mikey, but Mikey could get him back with "how is your memory so good when you're so old?". Carbon is provided in rolls from the manufacturers, and is called "pre-preg" - before it is laid and rolled into the mandrel shape for each tube. It then gets cooked in an autoclave to cure the carbons and resins together.

I've never played a Diamana (I'm an Aldila fan boy) but just purchased a second hand Titleist 915 D2 driver for my son that is fitted with a Diamana multi dimensional interplay (whatever the hell that means) S+ 60 x5ct X flex shaft. It cost the grand total of AUD$100 (CAD$88) 😃. I'm an S-flex player (with a heavy Ping head) so thought the X would feel boardy. But it doesn't. It just feels stable.
