GolfWRX Spotted: Mitsubishi Diamana D Limited shafts

Published

on

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.

    Does anyone think it will be coming to the SIM lines? Would it be worth it to wait on purchasing The 3wd or driver to find out if it’s better than the S+60 or FW75?

    500 bucks. For a SHAFT. Wow!! The sad part is that I would pay that if I saw positive gains on the launch monitor.

What is the best driver in 2025? At GolfWRX, we take great pride in our online community and the cumulative knowledge and experience of our members. When it comes to the best driver of 2025, we want to know what our forum faithful think.

Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.

Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.

Best driver of 2025: The top 5

5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%

Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”

You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.

4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%

Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”

3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%

Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”

@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%

Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”

@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%

Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”

@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”
