I have 5003/1007 y grind/2007 I would say 2007 is really forgiving and soft. 1007 on the other hand feels a bit more firmer with a bit more epon feel vs 5003's butterly feel. I would rank 1007 forgiveness to be only slightly higher than 5003. Off center strike distance is better but u would still feel ur misses completely. 2007 on the other hand is quite easy vs the other two while still having the miura look (thin topline and lesa offset).

It's really a good offer to be honest considering it's 9.9/10 condition, except that tiny chip within the weight port which can be fixed easily with touch up paint. This head will remain one of the longest driver in a while (and has been probably the longest in past years ever since it's introduced). At this price point I'm already having doubt whether if I should just keep it (but I have already way too many drivers on hand)... :(

Last offer... and this is really my bottom line for the head... USD$450 gifted...

Asking 500 shipped now.... really a bargain.... Someone please grab it so I can get a Gold's putter from Tario :)

Robb, why not make me an offer and we will get that head and make it your white mamba :)

Pics below. As you can see, the condition is really quite new, the only place is a tiny chip within the weight hosel when I tried to change it (not visible). You may even leave finger print at the sole~~~ And on the face it's dusts, not scratches...

Bought this head from Tario couple month back. Jbeam FX-435 (White),Condition as new (1 round + 1 range session). Includes original white head cover (new, never used). 10.5" true loft with square face. Ordered the head at 196g, but have extra weights (factory) just in case if you want to make it heavier. SOLD

Xerobound, wanna do a video review on this babe when you have a chance? Very interested to see what you think of it vs other head you've played. :)

Btw, in terms of forgiveness, if the sweet spot for the old 435 is size of a quarter, 435r more like a Canadian dollar size. I think average golfer would enjoy the 435r much more. It still requires quite a solid hit to really make the fx435 outperform vs other more forgiving heads like epon 152. It's like right between 435fx and 152. Runs much better than 152 with similar carry, but at slight less forgiveness. But slightly more forgiving than 435 with similar flight (probably 0.5 degree higher I would say).

Ball flight definitely lower with better dispersion. But after getting so used to the tj46, swinging the tj80 8.2 makes it feel quite tiring lol. My 7i is about 90-91...but I feel like I need that extra 5mph to handle the 8.2. I would say 7.7 makes it a perfect combo... I had a friend of mine who swings at 118-120 driver ss, the combo is definitely a killer. Super penetrating ballflight vs tj46. Ball goes out face extremely hot with penetrating flight and super heavy (if u know what Im trying to say, like wind seems not much of a factor...) Anyone interested for a trade? a Just installed with one range session.

I think you will like it. I've now gamed both the FX 435 and 435R for a while now, the 435R is actually slightly more forgiving. The ball flight are quite similar though, sound wise too. They both launch mid trajectory for me with very penetrating ball flight. Unfortunately I wasn't able to compare them with the same shaft side by side. I originally shafted the 435R with CB46 8.1 but later pulled it out to put on the FX435 (b/c of the white shaft, white head combo). The 435R is now on TJ80 8.2, which plays a bit stiff for me. So tempted to get another C46 8.1 to go with it... Anyone interested for a trade?

Xerobound Have you tried the Mizuno MP63? How does it play against the Romaro H? The reason I asked is because I want to get a slightly forgiving iron set (vs mp5003). I was very tempted to wait until the Mizuno MP64 to come out and place a custom set through Tario. But now looking at the Romaro, seems like it's the answer. I wanted a relatively small head with thin top line (I guess Mizuno can grind it on custom orders). I love how blade feels and look, but need more forgiveness on the 3-4 irons on launch if not hit solid.

Ok, brought it to the course today. The performance is as expected. Huge carry, but rolls is okay. But it probably has to do with my swing as my drive tend to have slight fade. And I believe the head is slightly open at +1 degree. The combo is definitely anti-left. With aggressive release, I was getting straight to slight draws. I normally carry my ball about 265-270, but this combo gave me the longest carry I'd imagine, somewhere around 280. The ball flight is excellent, mid trajectory while very penetrating without ballooning. When I tried drawing the ball slightly (which went straight), I carried about 280 with about 20 yard roll. Which is quite significant. On a particular par 4, It surpassed my previous long drive record by about 10-15 yards (Epon 152 + TJ80 combo). The sound of the head is a bit different than at the range. By no mean it's loud or high pitched nor is it muted. It's just about right. Wouldn't call it the best pitch I've heard but it's pleasant enough. And by the way, the head is actually quite easy to launch. I was able to launch the ball nicely with huge carry. I tee up half ball above club face, and definitely not a high hitter, but was able to launch the ball nicely with ease. :) Now hopefully they would let me buy the demo head~~~~

Yes it's conforming :)

Free... b/c it's not mine :) I'm trying to buy it off though... lol

Pic added. Don't really know how to re-size them... took them with my cellphone~~~ lol~~~ Paint job looks much better in person~~~

This is probably my first post giving review on equipment :) I don't usually do reviews but figure many people may be interested in hearing about the new 435R Fortunately I had the chance to try out the new Jbeam 435R, which I believe is to replace the FX 435. Driver spec We don't have the exact spec but was told this head is 10' But judging from the look with some measurement... I would say it's about 10-10.5 Loft: 10-10.5' FA: +0.5 to +1.0 Weight: 195.5g Shaft: CB46 8.1 Length: 46' SW: D2 Look Though this driver is at 450cc, but it looks relatively compact at address. Reminds me of my old yamaha tour but even prettier Paint job is nicely done, while the black paint has this metallic sparkling within. Reminds me of the metallic paint they had on the old lambo diablo. The sole design is really pretty and compact. I think it looks much better than the original 435. It has relatively a deeper face, but definitely doesn't look deep like the TM super deep. Seriously I was really doubting if it's really a 450cc head... b/c I wonder where they hided all the volumes. Sound Love the sound, it's not high pitched nor is it muted. It's just about right. Not too loud, not muted. Perfect I've played quite many heads... epon, ryoma, yamaha, tm, titleist... it's more closer to epon line similar to 152 but slightly louder. The sound make sure you know that your on-center hit is flying miles far... unlike ryoma where it's relatively muted... that you don't really get rewarded at your ear... Feel Feel is spectacular, and just wonderful. This is the first time trying out jbeam head. I've played yamaha tour, epon 102/152/zero, ryoma... etc etc. So far this is the best feeling head I would say. It feels more like epon/yamaha tour (v201), but with a bit more soft but compressed feeling to it. For epon lines, though the feel is wonderful and soft, but it doesn't seem to have the ball staying on the face for that long through impact. The 435R on the other hand, felt like the ball stayed on the face for that extra milisecond. It really gives you the feeling of compressing the ball and then the ball just shoots out. By no mean it's overly done or soft to an extend like Taylormade burner line or RBZ. While hitting at it, you will definitely know where on the club face you hitted it. I definitely know where the ball goes before looking at it. The feedback is just nicely done. Performance This is the part where it tempted me to write the review. All I could say is that this thing is a beast. My swing speed is about 110mph with average transition, and about 115mph if I really go at it. This combo is probably the longest... I really mean really the longest I've ever hit. Though it's only a range session and I've only hit about 30 balls into the net. But judging by the initial ball speed, launch height... I know it's a winner... surpassing all the drivers I've owned. The club playing at 46' is a bit too long I believe. The length made it a bit hard to square up as I normally play 45.25-45.5 so I lost a bit of consistency there. After choking it down a bit, problem resolved. Dead straight it is. At first I was a bit nervous of the look at address given its compact shape. It doesn't look like the most user friendly head. I was wrong.... and after just two shots, I was already sold and with my friends dropping their jaws on how nice the ball flight was. The initial ball speed goes out like a rocket cannon. And to be honest, it's not that hard to launch at all. It launch much much easier than the epon zero, and I would probably say it's more similar to 102 than 152. I normally carry my ball about 270 with little bit of roll. Judging from where I hit the net, this driver probably went about 280 at carry. Launch wise, it's more like a mid trajectory head. It went similar to my old epon 152 (9' head, FA 1 open), but with more initial ball speed. I'm taking it to the course tomorrow to see how it plays. I have quite a high confidence level that the roll is going to be superb. Direction: I think probably due to its low spin, directional miss was minimal. It just went straight, tiny tiny draw or tiny fade. I don't usually shape my shots but I did try to hit it high/low, and it performs on command. ******************************************************* On a side note, we've had about 4-5 friends trying out the driver. All with ss about 100-110 and a few at close to 120. For the 100 guys: The CB46 8.1 was a bit too much, but the result wasn't that at all. Just that they really need to swing hard to get the ball speed up. But on good shots they had no problem launching it. But I believe this is due to the combo being a bit over their comfort zone. For guys around 110: This is truely the gamer. It really drops the spin down with mid trajectory penetrating flight. Most of these guys including me play about low to high single handi. Overall we have yet to see a shot that went balloon'd. For guys around 115-120: teaching pro at the range. The launch was high but by no mean it went balloon. Ball really left the club face hot and seems to carry forever... After one range session... all two of my friends decided to get the exact same combo once the head is released. Can't wait to see how it perform on the course with better golf ball. Will try to see how it go against the FX 435 when it arrives. But I really doubt there will be much difference. Except for the look~~~ Stay tuned~~~~~ ************************************ Here are some pic :)

Ah!!!!! And I ordered my 435 a bit too early... lol~~~ Is my 435 getting shipped out soon? I guess this just gave me more reason to get another crazy shaft to pair up... This time might be the royal deco :) Crazy is sending a technician at the end of Aug to do fitting for the Taiwan market... (more like marketing).... can't wait

http://www.gew.co.jp/tieup/1207/JGE.php Hi T, Do we have any info on this? I think this is to replace the FX 435 right? Seems very interesting and look much better than original 435~~~~

Thank you Dale~ I hope this will end my quest for a driver shaft :P...

Hi guys, I'm currently playing the TJ80 Black 8.2. Although I can launch it alright but I lose the consistency at the back 9 since I no longer have the energy to really go full throttle. I'm considering switching to Black CB50 7.7 or CB46 Black 7.7. I've tried the CB50 Black but never the CB46 Black.My ss is around 115mph. I have relatively smooth swing and transition and thought the higher torque cb46 can probably do me better. But i'm worrying that since CB46 is meant to be built at longer length (45.5+), i'm afraid the overall weight may be a bit too light. I'm looking for something around mid 60 gram and want to build my club at 45-45.25. Can anyone give me suggestions on what I should do? Goccin?

Price updated again.

I have a brand new uncut crazy black tj80. Will let go for 700+ shipping. Let me know if interested :)

Yamaha SOLD... EPON and Crazy still available. Can someone please jump on them, so I can put the crazy CB-46 in to my bag... lol~~~~~~

All still available :)
