Diamana

The Whiteboard is lower launch & lower spin than the Blueboard.

You sure about the white board being a lower launch and spin?

I went to Diamana's website to research this exact question, and all I got out of it was that both are high kick, tip stiff shafts, but the whiteboard supposedly has a softer butt section to reduce the harsh or boardy feeling of the shaft. If you have any stats on specific stiffness ratings (butt, mid and tip)of the two shafts compared, I would love to see them too.

that's all I could find too

YES! high kick means low trajectory.... whiteboard goes about 2-3* lower than blueboard...

The Whiteboard is not lower launch. You had disputed this the last time I posted it. The info below came directly from Mitsubishi Rayon.

"Diamana White Board launches a ball slightly higher than the Blueboard but it produces a lower ball spin rate. Mitsubishi designed the shaft to allow you to use the Whiteboard in a higher lofted club head but not be penalized with additional spin rates that are common with the higher lofted club models. White has stiff tip, low torque, stiff mid section but softer butt section for feel."

Funny. I just emailed MR about it. I guess I'll find out soon enough on what they have to say. I don't know if I've ever seen so much confusion over one shaft like that. I wanted Whiteboard for Titleist D1 10.5* loft. Talk about high flat bomb that cuts through winds with ease...

I have heard that it should be lower than the blueboard. TourSpecGirl is telling everyone that it is a lower launch than the blueboard. I think she knows what shes talking about? Anybody else?

I called MR and they told me "slightly" lower launching than Blue and "significantly" less spin. Wouldn't give me the specific data though.

does that mean that if i hit the blue well, but it doesnt have enough feel for me (i LOVED the feel of a ZCOM in a 905S), i may like the white better???

Thanks tour pro, that's what I suspected but they don't do a good job specifying that on their website.

If i were you, I'd call MR to make sure because they TOLD me slightly lower launch angle than Blue....

the blue board and whiteboard launches very similar...the whiteboard launching slightly lower than the blue but has a lot less backspin...from the ones i've done i've seen about 400-700 less backspin than the blueboard...

The whiteboard seems very close to the blueboard in terms of launch, I have yet to test on the LM for spin... but the mid section is much stouter and feels awesome!

the blue board and whiteboard launches very similar...the whiteboard launching slightly lower than the blue but has a lot less backspin...from the ones i've done i've seen about 400-700 less backspin than the blueboard...

What about blueboard in lower loft vs whiteboard in higher loft of same driver?

the blue board still spins a little more...about 300rpms more...

Thanks. I've wondered whether going lower in lofts would make much difference. Apparently not. Only if Titleist would offer whiteboard! I need it badly for windy days... What other shafts are comparable to whiteboard? Accra SC75? That was one suggestion that I was told to look at.

This is what I am going to find out. I currently play a Rapture 10.5/Blueboard 83-stiff and I just got a Whiteboard that I am going to stick in either a Rapture 12* or Nak NP-1 420cc 12*

When I get it shafted up and tested, I will let you know.
