Specs and initial reports from Japan say that this is a more technology packed Diamana, an evolution from the White Red and Blue using more advanced design, materials and technology to make hence the higher price tag. Profile wise, they have aimed to make a shaft that has higher trajectory as illustrated by the mid-high kick. Even though the torque numbers are a little higher than the other Diamanas, Mitsubishi has said that a special amorphous carbon they are using in the butt, provide control and stability and the high tech molding procedure has created a perfect circular tube with controlled flex...

By the way I added it to the pro shop... thanks ArchangelGT for the scans... saved me from doing the work (^_^)

Thx u for doing the translation!

I absolutely love the look of the graphics. Interested to see feedback on this shaft. For me however, it seems Graphite Design shafts have always fitted better than Diamanas. I just wish they looked as good as the Diamanas.

Graphics for this shaft on the Quattro Tech would be heaven!

I believe when the stinger launched in '04 it came with a hat as well, and even maybe a towel.

here are actual pics, as well as one pic from the tourstage prosupport car, which shows maybe a diferent paint scheme as its really really blue.







*you can see the hibiscus flower ring on the grip end cap, looks awesome!

here is the pic from the tourstage van, looks way more blue, possible a jpga paint scheme?

The bottom pic is just the lighting... we're using the same top pic in the pro shop... borrowed, from Yahoo! (^_^)

I'll be getting it just for the looks alone.

You can take mine when I'm done testing with it. (^_^)

Speaking of which, T, you will give us a full report like always? ?

based on the specs would this shaft be suitable for 460cc drivers? (not like there are many drivers that are smaller these days...)

[gocchin]

will certainly provide as much info as I can...

most shafts that are coming out these days are built with larger driver CC's in mind to preven twisting, this one should excel with large heads.

[bogeydog]

Any reviews or feedback?

a little confused with the specs of this shaft....mid-high kick would give you a lower ball flight yet someone stated that it works to give a higher ball flight....was this just a misprint? any info would be great

While I have not play this shaft, I do play the White and suspect that the ali'islei is somewhere between the Blue and White in spec with new tech on the tip section for added stability, i.e. high launch than the White but lower than the Blue.

[TourSpecGolfer]

Its sorta an inbetween shaft IMO and to add to that i didnt find it to kick aggressive enough through impact compared to other shafts on the market like the Axiv, Roddio, and some of the Tour AD's.

[supo67]

anyone still gaming this little black(and white) duck ???

[robbie]

Yep...i still keep a couple of Diamana Ali Islei in play....mostly the heavier weight ones though.....83s in my yamaha driver

[supo67]

hmm yea i dug a cpl up idfogoteen about driver shaft 83s and 83x and 73 s in 3w and 5w id kept them as a spare bag for weary travellers.
irem hitting them very well low to start then they kinda crept up, very soft feeling shaft, and very nice in faiway woods

[potuna]

These are the new Red board high launch or not?
