Thanks to [USER=3]@JB[/USER] and the whole team at THP for putting together such an amazing event! We had a blast, and it was so great to get to know all of you. We are so grateful for this community, and we hope the content was entertaining and valuable to all on the forum!
Special shout out to the THP All Stars who braved the brutal heat and fast conditions of Ballyhack. You all were great to play with and those new driver shafts looked beautiful in your bags!

What a great few days.
Awesome meeting some new THPers and seeing some I have previously met. Always good to hook up with [USER=1579]@Jman[/USER] and Ballyhack delivered like it has never delivered before. Course played, firm, fast and crazy difficult. The food was outrageous.
To Mark and Jonathan. For a first time ever, what an experience. You guys embraced the fun and helped everybody understand a bit more about Mitsubishi.
And finally to the THPers that followed along. What fun and thank you. I hope we delivered as much as we could to the forum.

Big props to Mark and Jonathan and Mitsubishi!! Looking forward to seeing what the partnership leads to in the years to come.
I hope to be able to represent Mitsubishi well with the various shafts we have for testing. The TB so far gained me yardage, but man, my swing suffered on day 2 with inconsistency (not just the driver, the whole bag).
I have all adapters and grips enroute and will get them installed ASAP. I have a round planned for Friday as well as Sunday and might just bring 2 drivers with two shafts for the rounds. The heat? Well, it’s supposed to peak on Wednesday and drop some for the weekend, so I hope it does! Doing club building in the hot garage is going to be rough!
Thank you to @Mitsubishi Mark and @JonnyDiamonds for all the info shared with us!
First round at the home course with the White Board scheduled for Thursday. Should have the Diamana shaft in the putter as well for the round.
Adapter and grip for the *redacted* is due to arrive Thursday afternoon.

Should be fun to get the WB back on your home course where you have a lot more comfort. I’m betting some monster drives are coming.
Will be super interested to hear the feedback on the mystery shaft once you can get that in play. Less than a week until its unveiled.
My *redacted* shaft has the adapter on it curing right now. I will install the grip tomorrow in the morning (the only time it is cool in the garage to work). I have a tee time for Friday and Sunday and was thinking of brining both to the course with my current Rouge driver as well as my older Epic Flash. But, I don’t think I will be hitting two tee shots on Sunday, but maybe Friday I can since we will be a three-some.

Thanks for the follow up. In general, Diamana TB will be a bit more “firm” overall, especially in the tip section. Following is the Key Differences between Profiles providing that extra stability:

I am a couple of weeks away from having Mitsubishi shafts in my bag from top to bottom. Will have MMT 70 shafts in my irons and wedges and Tensei AV X-Link Blue shafts in FWs (65R) and hybrid (75R) in addition to the Diamana GT shaft currently in my driver and Diamana P105 putter shaft which will be in my putter by week’s end.

First round with the Diamana WB went much better here at home. I had a much better day on a course that’s a little more forgiving than Ballyhack. It also helped that I just played and didn’t focus as much on posting and updating.
First thing I noticed was that I was able to get back to my smooth tempo. From the first tee, the shaft felt great. Being the lighter weight, I was able to feel like I was swinging fast without even trying. I was getting a lot of pop from a very simple feeling swing.
The one thing I’m a little surprised about is the ball flight. I was expecting a lower flight than what I’m seeing with this shaft. I’m actually getting a higher flight than I was with my Tensei AV Raw white and Ventus TR Blue. It doesn’t appear to be added height from higher ballooning spin either. The carry is there as well as the roll out. I have the driver set at the standard 9° draw setting like always. I’ll need to get on a monitor at some point to confirm spin numbers.

Man, that’s awesome to read. So glad to hear it worked great for you ???
Today I played #6 and went to the range with the Rogue with the Diamana TB in it and the older Epic Flash with the *Redacted* in it. The Rouge with TB came in at E0 swingweight and because of the weights in the Epic Flash, it was at E2.
Totally different sounds at impact (the Rogue was more muted) and the Epic/*Redacted* seemed to really like a smooth transition but really got out there. I decided to take the Epic/*Redacted* for the round and hit two bad tee shots on 1 and 2 since I rushed the transition (I have been known to do that) but kept with it and was rewarded as I started hitting it really, really well. I had my best ever round on #6 and shot an 82 (14.8 handicap) with three birdie putts that didn’t drop.
My handicap will be dropping to a 13.8 tomorrow and I owe part of that to the *Redacted* shaft. Put a smooth swing on it and it’s a true winner. I do think I need to swap it into my Rogue head and lighten up the swingweight a little, but it’s a winner in my book.
The Diamana TB that I got at Ballyhack will also get more testing on it as it really is a shaft that can handle a hard transition and to me, feels like it is not as soft in any part of the shaft.
At this point, I don’t know which one will be the winner, which is cool!
The sinking sensation that hit me when I logged into my cryptocurrency account and saw my bitcoin balance of USD 680,000.00 had vanished is unforgettable.
Despair and panic took over immediately. Years of investing and saving were gone in an instant. I felt numb trying to process what had happened. Someone had hacked my account, drained my funds, and disappeared without a trace. After the initial shock, I switched to problem-solving mode. I couldn’t let a thief steal my hard-earned money and get away with it. I scoured cryptocurrency forums and found mentions of TheHackersPro Forensic and Smart Contract Firm, a service that specializes in tracking stolen digital assets and helping victims recover their funds. I reached out and explained my situation.
The analysts at TheHackersPro sprang into action, using their network of contacts and sophisticated tracking software to follow the trail of my stolen Bitcoin. It was a complex process, involving tracing the hacker’s digital footprint across the blockchain, analyzing transaction patterns, and setting traps to identify the thief. Against all odds, TheHackersPro was able to pinpoint the hacker and work with law enforcement to secure the return of my stolen Bitcoin.
The feeling of elation when I saw my account balance restored was indescribable. I couldn’t believe the experts at TheHackersPro managed to pull off this digital sleuthing miracle. Thanks to their tireless efforts, my hard-earned money was returned.
This experience taught me the importance of account security and the value of relying on experts like TheHackersPro. They are masters at recovering lost, hacked, or stolen cryptocurrency.
Contact TheHackersPro at [email protected] for assistance. You can also reach them via text at +1 971 915 6664 or their 24/7 Telegram support at +1 971 915 6664. This information could be crucial for anyone in need of help.
Lots of talk about Diamana and Tensei but curious where the Kal’li fits it? Will it be phased out?
