TOURSTAGE mallet pv5
this one, was desgined , made and THEN refurbed by KITADA.
for me as a bday present, re milled it with a non glare matt sheen.
its WAS my all rounder for all conditions but its now definitely best on faster greens with the shaft /grip combo ive gone for , thicker leather gripasmter to take more hands out if it, on slow greens i tend to leave it sort but when it get s quick this SHINES.!
on the larger side for a mallet with a high face and thicker top line i tend t oplay this more upright with a pendulm swing .
feel is crisp and instantaneous,immediate response on where the ball was stuck.
ive 3 of this type of head shape all with slightly differnt characteristics.
this and the miura for fast, the yonex and benock for slower.
purpousely gripped them all different for diff greens/ days/feels.
this not in play at the moment, the greens are too slow but when a dry winter comes down under , this will get a lot of play .
as a guide WE get :
slow s stimp peed 8.7-9.4
mid a 9.5-10
fast 11-11.5 , ive not seen many faster than 11.5 aprt for mthe days afte a tournament , i thnk th quickest igot was 12. . AND.. for a WEEKEND chopper ............. thats FOOKEEEN rapid!
