Feedback
I was hitting a Diamana D+ yesterday and the guy working the shop said "ha, that is a TX shaft, you probably need a 118+ swing speed to handle it". I looked online though and they don't offer a D+ limited in X. Weird.
Feedback
I have an 80x in my 3 wood. Flight is low but the weight and flex have really helped me straighten out my fade. I actually have the club face opened up. Play what works, don’t worry about whether it’s a perfect fit or not

What happens if you mismatch your golf shaft?
If your swing is mismatched to your golf shaft flex—if you are using an X flex shaft, for example, when you should be using an R flex shaft—you will have a harder time squaring the clubface at impact. The way your shots are flying can clue you into the possibility you might be using the wrong flex.
What does it mean when a golfer's swing is slower?
The slower a golfer's swing, generally speaking, the more flex he or she requires in the shafts that are in their golf clubs. And the faster the swing, the more stiffness. Tempo also matters: A jerkier swing requires more stiffness, a smoother swing less stiffness, generally speaking.
Why do golf shafts bend?
Shaft makers vary the amount of stiffness because golfers have different types of swings—different swing speeds, different tempos—and different amounts of stiffness in a shaft better match up to those different swings.

I currently have a SS of roughly 94-96, I fight a slice due to out/in swing
rammsport
I tend to get quick at the top of my swing, but like i said I fight a slice as well. I usually hit the ball high..the typical weak high slice.
kkhere
completely agree wiht clevelandballer, it all depends on what type of ballflight you are looking for
rammsport
Well I want something to fight the slice a bit, and add some distance. Want it to be easy to hit. I hit it usually high..now
rammsport
any other ideas for me?? very curious about putting one in the new R7 460 when i comes out, just dont want to spend $300 for the wrong shaft.
Introduction
The Story Behind The +Plus Series
- As I said, the +PLUS Series is not the third generation of the Diamana line; think of it as generation 2.5. The +PLUS Series combines the materials from the original Diamana with the manufacturing techniques from the 2nd generation. Mitsubishi claims that the result is a feel that is closer to the original (smoother) with the improved launch conditions (lower spin, tighter dispersion) of the 2…
Notes, Feel, Price, and Miscellaneous
- The first thing that stood out to me about the +PLUS Series was the look. It seems that 2012 is the year of matte finishes, and the +PLUS is riding that trend with matte blue and matte black. The look is very appealing without being overly loud (it’s hard to be loud with blue or black shafts in the current golf environment). The graphics are akin to those on the 2nd generation Diamanawith H…
Performance
- For the Performance testing, I hit each of the shafts in a Callaway RAZR Fit 10.5 head on a FlightScope X2 launch monitor. I hit 20 “good” shots with each shaft, changing frequently so that fatigue was not an issue, nor did I get grooved with one shaft to the detriment of fairness. Testing was done at Golf Nation, in Palatine, IL. *NOTE: Testing has moved back inside for the winter, an…
Analysis
- Overall, there was not a ton of variance in the launch and spin numbers between the two models or the two flexes, at least when looking at the averages. This is fairly normal for me since I tend to have lower-than-average spin. For other players, the gap between the S+ and the D+ could be much greater. In comparison to other shafts, both models are relatively middle-of-the-pack in ter…
Conclusion
- For those that are longtime fans of the Diamanaline, I think the new +PLUS Series is worth a look. While not substantially different from past iterations (why would you scrap a formula that clearly works?), the three different generations do offer players the opportunity to fine tune feel and launch conditions.
