Mitsubishi completes Diamana shaft updates with sixth-generation Red Board
Over the past decade, golf club manufacturers have started offering several variations of drivers to make it easier for players and fitters to find a version that is ideally suited for their game. That means low-spin options, drivers that blend forgiveness and enhanced ball speed and clubs made to maximize forgiveness, along with special versions created a ultra-low weights to help moderate and slower-swinging players generate more clubhead speed.
Shaft companies have been doing that for decades because driver shafts need to work with lots of different swing speed and styles, and with the release of the sixth-generation Red Board, Mitsubishi has completed the update to its most-storied shaft franchise, Diamama.
In 2024, the Japanese brand released updates to the White Board and Blue Board shafts, and now with Red Board ($400), the three shafts, which are available in multiple weights and flexes, create a matrix that can work for a broad number of players.
The goal with all Diamana shafts is for a golfer to get enhanced feel and a sense of smoothness through the swing instead of feeling boardy or overly rigid.
The Diamama Red Board — which once again sports a surfboard and Hawaiian-style flowers on the handle side — is available in weights ranging from 44 to 81 grams and flexes from senior to Tour X. Red Board is a mid- to mid-high launch shaft designed to create moderate spin for players who can benefit from a higher launch angle off the tee and with fairway woods. It utilizes a technology Mitsubishi calls XLink Tech Resin to decrease the amount of bonding material used in the shaft and increase the amount of carbon fiber, which boosts the shaft's overall strength. Mitsubishi strengthened the handle area in the Red Board and changed the way the small pieces of carbon fiber are layered and oriented in the tip.
The 2025 Red Board's more-active tip encourages the driver head to boost the launch angle and spin rate for a higher flight, while simultaneously reducing torque for tighter dispersion, according to Mitsubishi.
For golfers who need a lower flight and less spin to maximize distance and accuracy off the tee, the sixth-generation Blue Board, which was released in 2024, offers a similar profile but with a more-rigid tip section. For the heaviest hitters who generate the most spin, Mitsubishi has the sixth-generation White Board, which has the lowest torque and most rigid tip area.

5 Japanese Car Brands Named the Most Reliable of 2025
When it comes to reliable vehicles, Japanese automakers are doing well. In fact, according to reliability reports from Consumer Reports, Japanese car brands take the top spots. Further, no American car brands even finished in the top 10 for reliability. Trending Now: Discover More: So, if you're looking for a new vehicle that'll hold up for years to come and probably not require a great deal of money for repairs, here's a look at the Japanese car brands named most reliable of 2025. If you're a Subaru fan, you may be delighted to see the car brand has made it to the top of the reliability rankings from Consumer Reports. It took over for Lexus and Toyota, which traded the two top spots for several years. According to Consumer Reports, one of the reasons Subaru ranks so well is that its cars share many reliable components that have proven to be dependable. Some of Subaru's models, including the Forester and the Impreza, received well-above-average reliability scores. For You: Despite not coming in at the top spot, Lexus remains one of the most reliable Japanese car brands. Since Lexus is Toyota's luxury brand, many of its vehicles can use Toyota parts. This can help owners save money on repairs. As noted by TheStreet, Lexuses are known for reliability, longevity and resale values. If you're wondering why Toyota finished behind Lexus for reliability, below-average ratings for the redesigned Tacoma pickup and some other vehicles hurt its score. Still, Toyota is a Japanese automaker with vehicles known for being reliable and lasting a long time with good maintenance. That means its vehicles usually hold up pretty well in value in the resale market. Like Toyota, Honda is a carmaker known for having reliable and dependable vehicles. The automaker is known to put an emphasis on sensible engineering over luxury when it comes to crafting vehicles. So, it should be no surprise it ranks in the top five for most reliable Japanese car brands. Here's another case where a Japanese automaker's luxury brand also makes the list of most reliable for 2025. Acura is the luxury imprint of Honda. That means that in many cases they have parts in common. Overall, Acura cars are noted for luxury inside and advanced safety features throughout the vehicles.
