  2. only sets i have are the callaway 2013 forged with monacco X that are at 38.25 inch, and too long for me. i cud cut them to 38 inch.. but it wud mess the SW up too much if i go lower. and i paly 37.75 inch toursatge 905 with crazy steel 120 s

  4. u might want to give us a bit of idea of what ur loking for theres so many differnt styles of clubs baldes cavities Gi..? wedges fourteeen MT tour grind. yururui. kyoei tourstage epon kgx miura yamaha
  5. yup.. it really does give the ball quite a ping . T is it bec all the weight is at the face now now the rear ? its very noticeable in the .388 driver that as soon as u hit the ball it feel like it epxlodes off the face. which is totally dffernt to the drivres like the ryoma where the tail is so heavy its a heavier impact wheer the ball seems to sit o nthe face longer the impact feel totally different the ryoma has a very thumpy heavy feel to it adn the .388 has a very light electirc exploding feel at impact.
  6. ah sorry... no i meant i wasnt PLAYING in a real match... non comp so no presusre. i was just hititng balls.. (sorry ambiguous., ill fix that up. ) the X shaft is just about the pefect match for me,. but none of the heads ive got it in go overly long. they all go overly accurate! the ryoma v-spoec, ryoma maxima, 435, kamui pro but the fact is i hit more fairways with this shaft in it than anytihng else. its simply the best shaft for me bec im not loking to get oodles more distance i want to hit fairways diamaana shafts as a general rule dont really..........., have a particularly good feel ,(besides the stinger) but they play so true thats why i love them. the TRPX i think will be the equal of all my drivers if not better. as im sure the maxima wil be agan this week ,when i i put an X back in it. and take the W out. all driver s i have need a bit of tweeeking . this one no exception. 10-14 fairways is pretty bloody good. i wont be leaving this at home any time soon thats for sure. i want to try it with the waccine 435 agaisnt the ryoma not really a true test bec the flight is so differnt but thne again. that might be a good highlight as to what the heads do with the exact same build. hmmmm yes ill do that next weekend
  7. built a 18* 5w yesterday with a quadra fire exress 75xs. although a bit light for me , as i resued the shaft form a 3 wood as an experiment... builder siad it might be ok but maybe a bit light,, he was dead right. was great just too light..... this hting is a brute, its really long its high and its damn powerfull. got to use it on course a few times in windy conditions. (it was def too light for me ) but i got it well enough to know that ill be building another with an 80+ weight shaft . i think this might be my fav FW head to look at address now. ,its mid profile, its neither big nor small face. a rounded triangle back with a big fat front end which delivers a heck of a powerfull blow. the combo is sensational there is NO way to over power this, and u can move it about a bit. easy to hit off fairway, and its good from a tee. hit a few 3w recently and now the 5w. cud eaily play this set up with the .388 as a bag set. the more i hit this syard stuff the more im liking it................ well well worht strong considerations if ur looking at new FW.
  8. ok........... the black wriitng is the config on the driver as it is built now . the head has 6-4-4 weights the build is 334 gram with shaft. its just black sharpie ink written on it , and it comes off its just there for my reference. the colour in the paint fill is just me it comes of simply as well. the weights can be changed around to suit its 189.5 gram without weightings so ask for what ud like and i can do.
  9. ok.......................... first full round yesterday with TRPX diamana X 70s didnt play in a real match as such, just hit balls with no presure to sepak of. on a hell of a jack nicholas course. called ishioka, heck of a course, really good tourny track. typical jack, u have to hit al kinds of shots both ways. good landing area for a good drive , hes really the master of course design.. was able to both crank it up and have a good wallop at it , and really choke down, with a punch for accuracy. need to on this track as there is a cpl of big water carry holes . theres a cpl of holes on this course that must be right up there with anything there is. and its risk reward , if u go hard and get it striaght lined with a slight draw or fade an u can get another 20 yards roll on, take the conservative route for safey and ur gonna be hard pressed to make par. so drives here are a HUGE............. HUGE... factor in scoring. i did hit he driver very well yesterday 10-14 fariways with the match ball so i was going pretty good . so this trpx thing..... on the first hole. which is a short par 4 can hit to about 100 yards in no neeed to clobber it , accuracy will give u a good shot at the pin. with a PW. so i just coke down a bit and hit my bunt sting shot. came dead set out of the middle and flew arrow straigt. low .low trajectory. me likey.......... spilt the cernte line of the centre of the fairway. 100 out. perfection. not a bad start. distacne was where it shud be. where every other "good " driver ive got has been before. and so on and so forth front nine .............. i opened the shoulders a bit back nine and had a big old wail on a cpl. and the ball was out def out there. but at no stage did i go hmm thats uber long like the 435 waccine.... i was kind of expecting that . but it wasnt as noticebale as i washoping. what i was saying all day tho, was hmmm damn this thing goes straight.! after a heap of drives with it in all kids of positions i will say this is a contender for the ryoma v-spec for my best accuray driver. prob with just a hint more distance........ maybe..... i was really quite surprised tho i thought it muight be a monster but its def not longer than the 435 waccine. nosireeeeeee. and it wasnt as long as the kamui pro fujikura fuel most times. i guess the lighter weight made the kp-x go a bit further, but that went too high,most drives i nthe wind even the 60x shaft was just a bit whippy. but boy that thing gets out there. i def had the weight config the wrong set up as well , had the heavy weight in the tail not the fornt , which make it go higher.. down wind tho., wowsah... this thing i s big ! just a bit light for me tho, wanted to keep taking the trpx out when i had an open hole... flight was prety darn good with the TRPX. immediatly liked it. from the first drive on the driving range till the last wallop on 18. it was low, to low mid. didnt get big roll with it yesterday bec of the weather, but it will run a lot. yeterday was soaking wet but i cud easily tell the lack of carry wud be made up in total distance in dry conditions. no probs at all. this head shaft combo as a match is spot on as well. the trpx still doenst have that " nice feel. " theres something about jbeam that just dont get the feel "ooooooooh factor.." results speak for themselves tho . just a bit nicer feel wud not be bad thing. ryoma did it with the maxima. no , so????????? i was a big fan of this driver, and this set up. 44.875 inch 200 gram head. 327 gram build. d1 sw. which is RIGHT............. at the bottom of what i like to play, ideally id like 2 sw point higher but cudunt get there with this set up. so the trade off is prob to make the head 202+ gram give it a pit more punch make it a bit thicker. this head is DEFINALTY...... thinner feeling than the 425 and 435 the face feels thinner and lighter. il change the weighting over a bit this week. over all i liked this driver, i thought it was a great looking performing driver but it needs tweeking.before im definitive on it . i need to make it SW heavier to see. but, for now it will get a spot in the sydney bag for sure. NOT.....over the ryoma nor 435tho. but def an as well. yea its a good driver for sure.
  10. Gents ill vouch for the shaft i.have this.shaft its the real mccoy Were.made.for.the ts.pros ill confirm tomorrow wben ispeak to diamana I use.thus.shaft its.mustard and its quite strong Hell of a set up

  15. Ok its long and mid low 9.5deg diamana x70s Dispersion is excellent.

  23. the golf club advertising here is very saturated on the golf channel. and its mainly callaway , xxio and srixon. taylor made do a fair bit and i i throw steamed vegies at the tv when that dross come on., "rocketballlz ."absolute trash!!! u can hear the contemp in thier playing staff voices as they have to go thru affermation of thier quality product... that diatribe of B/S.. , ahh sorry i digress.....,again...., i lost my self. there is a lot of advertising during the majors,by small companies. this year roma-ro and ryoma saturated the masters. no one plays them on tour here . but the local market golfers are using esp ryoma a lot. now they certianly dont pay anyone. ryoma domesticaly is very popular now and commands a very high price secondary market. interstingly... toursatge on the other hand, regardless of how good thier gear is , overall gets KILLED on the resale market and they have very big names playing thier gear . intereting dynamcs in japan as what is "percived " as good the volume of gear that is moved here is staggering. absolutel staggering XXIO commands high prices and they have a LOT of pros use it , esp the girls they wud be no 1 with the women by a country mile. nad thier GI irons are as good as it gets ill pretty much only recomend to my buds XXIO irons for the beginners. ivehit them and htye are amazingly easy and good. and they are very expensive regardless of how old they are in compariosn to to other clubs. dont know ho bought roma ro.. but htey have been aggressively advertising here a lot, somneon must have pumped some big con in them , bec till last year they were areal sleeper of a brand, very high cost. and only at the most undergroud locations. now they are a lot more mainstream. rio has amde a huge fdiff to callaway for sure. just loking at the show this year confirmed that his stand was 30 deep for 3 days. and that was just the girls..!
