Mob Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) So I just saw that Ryoma is finally making a left handed driver. I don't know much about it since they have never made left handed drivers. I have a Crazy 435 and like it for all the obvious reasons, but would love to find a driver with better forgiveness, sound and feel. I know I will be giving up distance on well struck shots, but, I am ok with that. My questions: How is overall performance? How does it perform on off center strikes? How is the feel? How is the distance? How is the sound? Thanks for your help! Edited June 9, 2014 by Mob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mob Posted June 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 I should also say that Epon makes the AF-103 in left handed as well, so I would have a choice between these two now, if anyone has played them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold the 435 and currently play the maxima type v and it is easily the most forgiving driver I have played. How is overall performance? The maxima is the most consistent driver I have ever played. It really just wants to go straight, but can be worked either way. How does it perform on off center strikes? Miss hits...it is not even a competition...maxima How is the feel? Maxima feels a lot better on both solid and miss hits How is the distance? For me, the maxima is longer than the 435 on solid strikes How is the sound? This was one thing that I really did not like about the 435. It was so loud. The maxima is more muted. Again...this is just my opinion. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mob Posted June 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Great information thanks. Any knowledge in the difference between the type D and Type V? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerobound Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Great information thanks. Any knowledge in the difference between the type D and Type V? On the Maxima, the performance of the different type heads are very very close. The main difference is that the Type D comes in square to slightly closed face angle while the Type V comes slightly open. (For the more aggressive swingers) Ryoma is still one of the top sellers. The Maxima has a softer sound and is much more forgiving across the face. (compared to 435) - I have a few clients waiting for their lefty Maximas now. The leftys' have been waiting for this one for a long time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a lefty, I have been waiting a long time for these companies to start making some clubs for us. Email to Tario has just been sent!
