Our Andrew Tursky talked with Schenk for PGATour.com’s Equipment Report. An excerpt below:

In fact, Schenk travels with so many extra clubs that he needs not one, but two golf bags to carry them all.

“I travel with a little more equipment than most people,” Schenk said. “It’s fun for me, probably more fun than playing, honestly.”

He’s a shot maker, and he sets up his golf bag to play to that strength, keeping multiple drivers around for different courses and conditions.

“I’ll do something different (with each of my driver setups),” Schenk told GolfWRX.com. “Some are for a draw, some fade, some I can do both with. Some high, some low. Just fitting whatever the golf course is calling for. If I’m slicing it, I’ll probably play a driver with more loft to help me turn it over a little more.”

But that’s not the only reason he travels with so many clubs. It’s also for the pure enjoyment of strategizing and tinkering.

Mitsubishi Diamana WB: Club Junkie takes a technology deep dive

Earlier this week, Mitsubishi announced the return of its iconic Whiteboard profile with the new Diamana WB shaft.

In our launch story, we offered a rundown of the key technology in the new WB — 80-ton Dialead pitch fiber, Aerospace-grade MR70 carbon fiber, Consistent Feel Design, and the Xlink Tech Resin System. To go deeper, however, we enlisted our Resident Club Junkie and bona fide shaft nut, Brian Knudson, to track down someone from Mitsubishi at the PGA Show. Fortunately, Mitsubishi’s Director of Global Aftermarket Sales, Jonathan Alongi, was on hand to answer all of BK’s questions.

Check out their discussion about the new WB, as well as the 20th anniversary of the original design, in the video above — time stamps of key points below, including a definitive answer as to how the surfboard graphic ended up on the original Whiteboard in 2004!

:40 – Mitsubishi Japan expands to the U.S. in 2004
:50 – “The shaft that set the standard”
1:12 – “The ‘board is back”
1:45 – WB or Whiteboard? Or both?
1:55 – The first iteration of the sixth generation of Diamana
2:10 – Incorporating key technology from a 20-year journey
3:10 – Modifying the tip section for more ball speed
3:50 – Delivering ball speed in a low-launch, low-spin shaft
4:20 – Drilling down on the shaft profile compared to the original Whiteboard
5:00 – The most impressive element of the new WB
5:30 – Butt, mid, tip specifications
6:00 – WB’s iconic graphics and the Diamana legacy — flowers, surfboard, numbering system
8:15 – An abundance of available weights and flexes
8:55 – More players going lightweight
