I have been fitting with Mitsubishi Diamana Golf Shafts since I started my fitting business. The Blue Board Archetype is the most copied shaft profile in the business. The soft mid profile delivers forgiveness to the often erratic tempo of many recreational golfers. the last three generations of the Diamana have changed very little. The Diamana BB is a significant change.
This chart compares the torque of the last four generations of the Diamana Blue golf shafts. Mitsubishi tells us high modulus 46 ton fiber was used in the bias plies and 80 ton fiber is used in the butt section of the Diamana BB. It is evident that torque, as claimed, has been reduced. The torque of the BB is 0.4 degrees lower than earlier models.

Mitsubishi Kai’li Red Fairway Shaft Review
Mitsubishi Kai’li Red FW Shaft Review

The Kai’li Red FW is a close profile match the the Mitsubishi Thump F shaft that has been in my bag for years. This shaft has been offered by TaylorMade since 2002. In the 2004 custom shaft list, it is still available at no upcharge. the real beauty of this shaft is that it is a profile match to the Mitsubishi Diamana T+ which I just reviewed. It is offered in heavier weights than the T+ and therefore is a great fairway compliment to the Diamana T+ driver shaft.

The Mitsubishi Tensei AV Limited Shaft is available as a stock shaft in the 2024 TaylorMade Oi10 Drivers and Fairways. While most of my reviews are for premium shafts, many want to know about the standard shafts in off the rack drivers. There are three versions of the shaft, Blue, Fairway and White. The each is modeled on the classic Mitsubishi archetypes.

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.
