The Mitsubishi Diamana GT is one of the 5th generation Diamana models. Mitsubishi Chemical Group is unique among the golf shaft companies, they are vertically integrated. They make all of the critical raw materials that make up the golf shaft including the monomer, acrylic fiber, carbon fiber, resin, and prepreg. Prepreg is the sheets wrapped around mandrels that are the material of the carbon fiber golf shaft. Other golf shaft manufacturers purchase the prepreg used in their shafts. This allows the Mitsubishi Chemical Group to create unique technologies in their golf shaft designs.

Once again, Mitsubishi has reduced resin content in the 5th generation Diamana with a proprietary resin system named Xlink Tech.

Nippon 850 GHneo Iron Shaft Review

Nippon 850 GHneo Iron Shaft Review

A companion to the Nippon 950 GHneo has just been released, the 850GHneo. New graphics on what is essentially the N.S Pro 850. When the 950GHneo was released I mentioned that almost every fitting cart still included the N.S.Pro 950 despite its long outdated graphics. That was not the case with the N.S Pro 850. It had never been been widely present in the club equipment fitting carts. I have been fitting Nippon steel for a long time. In fact I wrote an overview of the entire N.S Pro product line 9 years ago in the second year of this journal.
