    Aug 30 2024

    For Episode 8 of the M4TR Podcast, Jake sits down with Mark Gunther of Mitsubishi Golf Shafts. Mark has been a part of the company since the original launch of Diamana in 2004 and has been a part of the team making the generational changes to the Diamana Lineup, but also to launch the Tensei lineup of products, as well as the value line C6 product and the newest Kai'Li lineup of golf shafts, as well as maintaining a strong brand presence with lightweight performance with Bassara, Grand Bassara, and the new Vanquish.
