The Diamana WB returns the white board profile closer the the first few generations than I saw is the last version, the Diamana W. I see a profile that is almost identical to the Tensei Pro White 1K.

As Mitsubishi tells us, this is a return to the original RB, Red Board profile. With new material technology and an “active tip section,” translation, softer. I see the RB as a perfect fitting match to the 6th generation Diamana series. WB, firm mid, RB neutral mid, BB soft mid. Each of these three shaft are what I refer to as archetype designs. I have recently been given access to all shafts MCA offers. This is the first of many earlier Mitsubishi reviews that include the shafts not previously measured.

There have been a lot of ultra light golf shafts released in 2024 and 2025. The Mitsubishi Vanquish is the recent release aimed at this market segment. I remember the Bassara UltraLight Mitsubishi models from 2014 – 2016. This series was discontinued and Diamana models became available in lighter weights. Currently the Diamana models are offered in 40 gram versions. The remaining ultra light is the Grand Bassara which gets down to 29 and 39 grams. While I typically avoid working with shaft ultra light shafts because of their high torque. I did have a customer that developed his swing around a Grand Bassara and hit it further than anything else I tested. The current batch of Vanquish review shafts is available from TaylorMade in 2026 at no upcharge.

The TrueTemper Project X HARDUS Black Gen 5 is another no upcharge option in the 2026 Taylormade Custom Driver / Fwy shaft options. The 2026 TaylorMade fitting system designates shafts to match a player’s rotation profile as follows:
HR – High Rotation Designed for players who release the club early, with the shaft lining up with the lead arm before or at impact. The shaft is a soft-tip profile to aid in closing the face.
MR – Mid Rotation Designed for players with a neutral release, with the shaft lining up with the lead arm just after impact. The shaft is a middle-of-the-road tip stiffness.
LR – Low Rotation Designed for player who hold the release, with the shaft lining up well after impact. The shaft tip is stiff to prevent the face from closing too quickly.

the HZRDUS Black Gen 5 driver shafts are rated with this system and noted in the charts below.
