GolfWRX: Cameron Young's Diamana Blackboard Prototype Sparks Forum Buzz
Mystery Shaft in Cameron Young's Bag
During The Open Championship, Cameron Young was spotted gaming a Mitsubishi Diamana 'Blackboard' prototype shaft in his Titleist GT3 driver. Titleist themselves confirmed the name via a driver setup post, but the shaft's specs remain undisclosed — triggering lively speculation across GolfWRX forums.
What Forum Members Are Saying
GolfWRX members have been piecing together clues based on existing Diamana lineup knowledge:
- Some believe it could align with a Ventus Black or Smoke Green profile — low-spin, penetrating trajectory - Others suggest it may be a Diamana-family version of the Tensei Black - Current Whiteboard users describe the WB as mid-low spin and launch, suggesting Blackboard could push that profile even further
Young has a well-documented relationship with Mitsubishi and is known for frequent shaft experimentation.

Strokeslab Take
Shaft characteristics directly influence SG: Off the Tee, and Young's choice of a prototype low-spin shaft for links conditions suggests a deliberate trade-off of carry for trajectory control — a smart data-backed decision in windy Open conditions.
Shaft selection is one of the most underrated variables in SG: Off the Tee performance — Young's prototype choice for a links major reflects the kind of data-informed decision-making that separates elite ball-strikers from the pack.
