Diamana Redboard with a .350 tip?

[gc0723]

Is this auction legit?

After reading some posts, it looks like the diamana redboard does not come in .350 tip. Is this auction legit or should I avoid it? Thanks

I would right the guy. He probably just wrote the wrong tip size.

I know the auction has ended now, but I did email and ask him. He said he ordered .335, but was sent .350. After searching more, I passed since I found very little info to support his claim.

Jacque at Tourspecgolf.com was nice enough to investigate whether there are any Diamana Red, Blue or White ion plated, flowerband, x5ct, .350 tip diameter shafts. After some investigation, she said they don't exist.

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone. I passed on the auction. I suspected something was up.

The .350 Diamana is made. I have owned one, and I have seen a few. There are some fakes out there, but they do make them, at least in the Blue Board.

There were .350 Blueboards. You could get them in the Nike Ignite drivers.

 

I don't think there were any .350 Redboards though, certainly not with a flower band like the one in the pictures.

as posted on the other diamana thread, those are the wrong markings for .350

guys, had a question, i have a driver in a ft3 tour... it has a diamana blueboard 73s and the markings look very legit. it says 73 g35t... is g35t legit

The seller stated the shafts are in Hong Kong so I asked if he has a shop where I can go look and pick out one or two shafts. He never replied. I would excercise extreme caution.

It's legit. Here's the differences as explained by FAQ section of the Mitsubishi Rayon site:

 

Q: What do specific shaft markings mean? What is the difference between an after market shaft, and those shafts designed specifically for OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) use?

 

A: Each shaft for the retail after-market is usually designated by our company name: "Mitsubishi Rayon" (with the 3 diamond mark), followed by a weight designation (103, 93, 83, 73, 63, 53, 43), followed by "x5ct" which designates 5 carats, followed by the shaft flex. Example: Mitsubishi Rayon 73 x5ct flex - x. OEM shafts are marked in a different way to help identify the differences in the tip section, in addition to help distinguish OEM from retail after-market shafts. As a result, the "x5ct" marking is replaced with a "g 35 t" (for shafts with a 0.350 tip OD) or "g 4" t" (for shafts with a 4 inch parallel tip section) for all OEM shafts.

 

Hope that helps.
