Google translate below. Is it me or does it sound like 5th gen ZF?

 

In September 2022, Mitsubishi Chemical will launch the Diamana ™ GT series. Diamana ™ 5th generation has continued to evolve based on club trends. As the third model in the same lineup Introducing a shaft with an improved feeling of acceleration during a downswing. The toughness of the tip reduces head shake While taking advantage of the reduced feature, it also increases the hand rigidity to make it easier to feel the bending of the middle part. Focusing on "optimization of cloth". High stability allows you to draw the desired trajectory, but without speed. It is the latest design that swings automatically by turning back. Even in this work, we have realized the optimization of weight and butt diameter, which is a common concept of the 5th generation. One for all specs Since you can experience the feeling and performance that goes through, it enables precise and accurate fitting. In addition to the IP-finished silver gradation that gives a sharp impression, the main logo is luxuriously holog By using ram, it has a luxurious design.

Definitely looks like the 5th gen ZF.  Torque value and bend point look exactly the same for the 80TX.  Great, now I have to pick between the Kai'li Blue, TPBlue 1K and now the GT all of which will be available soon.

Dont lie, you're excited to try like 6 new shafts this year.

This perhaps explains why the ZF link disappeared from the MCA Diamana home page recently. Early in the year, I recall @MITSUBISHI CHEMICAL mentioning they still had the ZF and the RF up there along side the PD/TB since those 4th gen's hadn't be replaced yet.

 

So maybe a new red profile soon too.

Yup, on the second page of the press release it actually mentions it being replacement for ZF. I didn't see it earlier.

 

There's TP Blue 1k now too?? They just announced Black lol

I will 100% be getting one of these. I mean, the profile is all wrong for my swing but they look cool.

The buzz is that the TPBlue 1K is supposed to come out sometime next year.  My head's spinning right now from all the blue board profile shafts coming out, lol.

Heard from my source: TPBlue 1K end of year. 

[third-times-a-charm]

I'm not super interested into the KaiLi Blue, but the TPB 1K and this new GT model are gonna make my Tour AD driver shafts sweat a little for sure.

 

Gonna set a few ebay alerts and grab these when they go below $200.

[radiman]

I have been so content with the ventus the last season that I feel like I missed 5 years of MCA shaft models lol.  So, the Tensei 1k has a Pro model too?  And now they're releasing a Blue profile?  The Kai'Li Blue too?  And this new beauty?  The Diamana has been the best looking shaft in recent memory.  I wouldn't be upset if one of them ended up in my bag haha. 

[ob1soccer]

seriously do not add another shaft to the list i currently need to demo

[agood3putt]

dang....they are definitely sweet looking

[third-times-a-charm]

Would be interesting to see if Thomas or Cantlay move into the GT sometime after release. They're the two most prominent ZF users i can think of.

And two of the most stubborn when it comes to changing things like that. 😅

I believe they are the only two guys on the PGA Tour that use the ZF.

JUST GOT THE UPDATE AND POSTED ON THE HOME PAGE. ANYONE GET A CHANCE TO HIT THIS YET

[Double Dodger]

40 X……hummm

[third-times-a-charm]

Theyve not only done a 40 X flex but also SR flexes. Very Graphite Design of them!

 

Looks like it's a ZF with Xlink and new graphics.

[ob1soccer]

so many choices, looks awesome. Someone post a review when they hit it, could be the shaft for my new TSr

Love my ZF and probably will put the GT 80TX in the bag to replace it when it's released.

I'm looking to try the 60TX in the driver if it has the same kick the zf had. I never got to try the zf though.

ZF is  soft in the middle and stiff in both ends.  Has a hint of kick to it where you feel it towards the bottom of the swing.  It can go left if you try to murder it which is why it's in my 3 metal.

[ob1soccer]

You thought for a second that he had the GT right? I was hoping also
