Is Geotech a reputable japanese maker like Yamaha, Srixon or ONOFF? All I see when I look up Geotech on google is links to this website. Do you really think geotech 2012 hicor heads are better than the 2005 models made by the above companies?

I went off topic mentioning the irons, lets just keep this focused on the hicor drivers. I was looking for post 2005 hicor models and there are very few available. The big manufacturers stopped making them and only a few small companies make them at 460cc. They may have become more forgiving, but not necessarily longer if they can't hold up to high clubhead speeds. As far as I know, the 2005 models from Yamaha, Srixon, ONOFF don't have speed limits. And how can I justify the price difference?

I play clone irons heads made by gigagolf and get exactly the same performance out of them as the expensive brands. Irons are really just blocks of milled steel and there's been little advances in technology in recent years. Anybody can forge or cast a block of steel and mill it out. The real benefits of jdm equipment comes from the drivers, fairway, and hybrid heads. This is where clone heads just can't compete with the best technology. I know this because I've been using a 2007 inpresX 460D for the past 3 years. I've also found Srixon fairways and hybrids to be the best performing and one can argue those are the closest one can get to jdm clubs in the us market. The reason I want a 2005 hi cor driver is because that was the last year that they were legal and even the pros were using them. Post 2005 hi cor models are just niche products made for cheaters.

I found a ebay store selling so many different types of .900 COR drivers. I wonder if these are legit? http://stores.ebay.com/hotheadsgolf?_trksid=p2047675.l2563 Looks a little fishy.

So I've found a few 2005 models that are high COR: Yamaha 405D (listed at over 0.875) ONOFF Driver (0.870?) Srixon W-505 (0.860+?) The cors for the ONOFF and W505 are just speculative numbers I've found online. If anyone has information on the actual cor values for these clubs, please let me know. As far as I can tell, Yamaha is the only company that actually advertises the cor value. On their 2004 inpres D model, it is even inscribed "over 0.870" on the sole of the club.

Its gonna be pretty hard to find a set better than the hd's. Maybe go to graphite shafts on the longer irons?

Here's a used 405d for a steal of a price. Just because its jdm doesn't mean it has to be expensive. I hope my buddy can go pick this up in person because he won't have a shipping address. http://www.golfpartner.jp/html/item/024/104/item3047344.html

I checked out the ryoma website: http://www.ryomagolf.co.jp/products/sptg.html It is listed as a .870 COR head but it also says that it can't be used for swingspeeds over 46 m/s (103 mph). It's also quite a bit out of my price range. I was looking for something under $200. My friend is going to Japan for a business trip next week and I will have him look for some used 2005 models.

Do you have a list of these .88 COR drivers? I would like to get one with high COR but don't want to go through face shaving as it compromises the integrity of the face.

Is the 2005 Inpres 405D the highest COR driver available? It is advertised at over 0.875. All of the 2006 models are conforming.

I have a Tour Angle 144 swing aid that I do not use anymore. There really is no sign of use to it. The DVD is also included but I have lost the pouch. This would make a great aid for people who struggle with their hands getting too high at address. It's also a great tool for chipping and pitching. $20 shipped in the USA. Paypal gift please.
