The Kai’li Blue is a profile match to the Diamana PD with a few caveats. Most important to most golfers, it is offered as a no upcharge choice in TaylorMade drivers. The Diamana PD retails for $360.

The Kai’li name is reborn on a Mitsubishi driver shafts. It was used on the second generation Diamana Blue. To remove confusion Mitsubishi has added the name White to this shaft. And it is a White Board Profile.

The Kai’li Red does not have a close profile match in past Mitsubishi shafts. Not even in the profiel matches of the Diamana Reds that have not been offered in years.

The MCA Diamana is an iconic brand. The premium aftermarket shafts have been in my fitting system for as long as I can remember. The MCA profiles make my job easy. White, neutral mid, Blue soft mid, Tensei iK firm mid. It is a rational and repeatable process to find the fit and feel with that matrix. Unfortunately, the OEM Diamana S+ does not have a close profile match to the 5th generation premium aftermarket shafts. Nor does it have the upcharge price of the premium Diamana shafts.

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.
