Posted February 20, 201213 yr didnt make it on saturday ,but spend whole day out there yesterday spoke to a few people in depth esp the graphite design guys, t he diamana guys and the ns pro guys got to test the whole shebang of the diamana x range with an epon 152 9.5* head (this head btw is very easy to hit!) the numbers i got on these shafts were terrific it wasnt as low as i though it was going to be but it most def was as tight, dispersion was magic really really tight accros s the whole line iwas hitting the ball badly to the right over all but the blocks were fairway bound or edge of. wasnt getting the hands thru the ball.( back was a bit tired form skiing day before!) but got the last 5 or so pretty well middle of the club and straight started at 60x and went to 70 xx (just for mjr d) best numbers i got was with the 70x backspin was 2000 average 1550-2300 range longest drive was 285 carry 246 head speed 46.7-49 average 48ish mp/s pretty close to these they wouldnt give me the print out. feling, ths shaft felt fantasitic, nothing liek the diamanas of old but then agn not like the crazy either it was more elasticy in the GD BB stlye than the crazy style i THOUGHT. it certianyl was ver y pleasant o hit athe whole range interesttingly the 70s was the one i thought i liked the best, but the guyssaid i shudbe hitting the x the numbers were irrefutable i wil be gettign one of these 100% and im assured they are low laucnhing low low spin nothing at all like the stinger the 70 xx i only hit 2 balls with just o get an idea of how it goes, it certianly didnt overpower me i got it dead straight 270 ish certianly wasnt goting left thatsfor sure hard to say overall bec the head isnt something id play but in a more punchy head i think the 70s might be better suited to be honest. that was the longest shot i got out with a draw. that might be the puppy i think in the punchier head and its def going i nthe yamaha tour 10* bring it on!
February 20, 201213 yr Author yea ithink so. i certianly liked the fele , its impossible to know tho hitting into a golf simulator driving range 10 feet away . but yes iwasmore concerned with how it felt. i liekd it a lot
February 20, 201213 yr "just for Mjr. D" - hahah yes!! Thanks man. So verdict - should I pick it up? Low spin, low enough launch?
February 20, 201213 yr When you said "I was assured they'll be low launching low low spin" what are you talking about? Didn't you just try the shafts?
February 20, 201213 yr thanks for review... can't wait to put the 70s in my Yam Tour 10* in three weeks!!!
February 20, 201213 yr Author yes the shafts will be low launchers low low spin. cant wait to hit this at the range outdoors im going to go the 70s i think
February 20, 201213 yr does the metallic blue color on the shaft extend all the way towards the butt end of the shaft?
February 20, 201213 yr Author didnt pay attention but i think it did the grey black bit was just in the middle
February 20, 201213 yr We did hit them as well. They fly very straight and even with the low torque numbers still have feel. Chris has video of the shaft on the launch monitor so we'll have some numbers for you. I talked with Tats our tester about them and he said a very stable shaft but you do have to go after it. Definitely for faster and more aggressive swingers.
February 20, 201213 yr The BB while also a control shaft plays and feels a lot softer. The Diamana X performs much like other high carbon shafts, stout feeling but when you swing it still quite active but with very good control and predictability.
February 20, 201213 yr Author cant say yet, as i need to see it outdoors . its not fair to hit into a screen and give a comparison esp with the head being so differnt to the one i use.
March 6, 201213 yr Author When you said "I was assured they'll be low launching low low spin" what are you talking about? Didn't you just try the shafts? ur diver might be the............., diamana 70xx with kamui pro kp-x 8.5* 2* open. u get this ill GUARANTEE you u wont be hittitng sky balls ustill looking for a head gte some info o nthis seriously i had another big range sessison on sunday at my course and this head is so punishing, its similar look to the super deep (????) TM with with a whole lotta class i put a 70 stinger in mine at 9.5* and im gettign low -mid low shots all day with a stinger! i had this with an attas t2, far far far too low . id say it was th 2nd lowest id hit. but it was horrible far too low, no carry the head i like.................... a lot
March 6, 201213 yr Any idea of the Diamana X is as low launching/spinning as the Attus T2? Also is this head available in the pro shop? I've never heard of it. I'm looking at the Egg 7...
