Well the B is a very good shaft ithink willsuit a huge range of golfer swings like the gd bb does but. Ithink its better than. The. Bb And the good thing id it suits a driver just asmwell as it does a fwood Which is a god thing I cud very easily play this shaft driver thru 5wood Just incresing the weight and flex As a thought Id easily play the 70s maybe tipped 1/4 inch in my ryoma vspec or as ryoma suggested the maxima... The kasco fd already has it in itthe egg spoon 13with the 70s is perfect Maybe the new ryoma iget from tae with the 70 x might be a good match The new syard xv fw with a 70x And a yamaha v17 with the 80 s Hmmm,m,mm Thats an idea

had a litte bit time with a set of these shafted them with NS proto wedge 2 f15 x shafts , that seems to give them a very nice feel to the heads. they are pretty soft heads really but with a solid kinda ooomph behind them very nice impact. the sole is MICRO thin............. seriously ive never seen aything like them they are MAGIC................ MAGIC from a tight fairway. zero bounce. the leading edge just slices under the ball and lifts it straigt up its quite disconcerting to have to go harder at the ball by not hitting down into it with these. to get it to the pin u go full tilt adn have no isses bec the ball will zing back! spin is awsome!! these things back up like no bodies business. as good as ANY other wedge for back-up-a-bility.........! i had an hour at the range with them in all sorts of grass from thick thinfairway . bunker fluffy and rock hard get this... they werre terrible for rock hard sand , kept just thinning the blazes out of them straight thru thegreen about 20 in a row. the bolds blew these away on tight lie sand. got hem to sit still with ease. for deeper tho they were wands DONT ASK ME HOW THIS WAS but i assure you the differnce was humongous. the bolds with big bounce easiy satyed where they were sposed to, the prgr didnt. from the thick grass , tho, they were good from a short distance, like a few feet to 20 feet but longer shots they kida got caught up and popped up high and short a lot. once again the bolds killed them for longer punchy shots but these killed the bolds for deft touch. ina nd aroundthe pin , think a 15 foot shot over a bunker to a tight pin ... these were fantasitic esp if it was form lower grass , u can open these up to ludicrous angles nad flop away. the 57* is like a 59* IMO they go WAY higher than ud expcet. im getting a 57* bent to 60 for prepsoterous shots i think that micklelson flop is possible with these. id think these make a good "otherset" of wedges if u play on no water garss tracks alot say in summer in australia........ oh yes i do! guess where these are heading!!!

chaps........ been about 3 months with about 4 of these now. 80s in a kasco fd 12.8 fairway driver. 70s in an egg 13* spoon 70x in a RC15* 3 wood 70s in a maruman conductor driver. the good the bad the ugly....................... the bad. NONE. the ugly less than none the good. where to start? looks..........., well as far as a shaft goes , this is my fav with the quadra fire express. stunning looks, great colour scheme. great graphics. looks like a real real shaft flex..., spot on 100% true to flex. stiff is tiff x is for steppin on. no bones baout oh its slightyl tighter i nthis or that NO not at all the GD bb series i cud say is a bit on he softer side of stated flex IMO..... the diamana not a at all. in all these differnt heads and shapes and hosel sizes , i get what i ordered. perfection. launch......., well. i think it s sposed to be higher -ish. kind of mid(????) well if it is.... i dont really get that ,its not as low as the BB series. but its that way for me. and i think its prob lower than the kaili. def lower than the blue board. its a stronger flight and its taughter. feel................., taught with a rubbery kick! explain that to a normal person, but it is. i think its quadra fre express ish. but not as glassy. nothing like the crazy range. nothing like them at al. and not like th BBmuch more expansive, more total flex than the BB, which has a noticebale kick point. its not soft. its not harsh its ready for this....................... its........................ forzen butter WITH marhsmallow chunks its delicious. get one if u like the blue board and ur thinbking of trying a new model this is hoit stuff. my fav non billion dollar shaft on the market. by some way. icant wiat for the new white baord thing to cmoe out what ever 'dialed" is.. its bloody good in a shaft!

yea iknow def i know................ i just gotta get soime time off. whast the best i can do 11.30 till 2.30 is htat possible ? i can prob swing that....

ahhhhhhhhhhh T is that ur new one!!!!

off the syard sle is withdrawn. that thing is magnificent. gonne do a big shoot out between this the ryoma nad hte egg spoon. i dont think there can be a winner with these.

D..., not many guyslike tha ahina bec its not made for them tjhe yamaha tour had htis as a stock shaft a cpl of years abck and it falied dismally bec tis to low i had the 6os nad THAt was fine for me. for u it wil be operfect. when the new white board comes out you shud 100% be the first to get it that new dialed stuff is out of this world the B is magnificent , but not for you ill be getting one i assure you.

spot on old boy!!!! i love making up new words based Loosely. on real ones. its my gift to the litereary world when u put these two driver heads next to each other and look straight down the face the v-spec is flat and straight. theres NO way this is made to work its just point , cock, kaboooooooooom ! when u put he maxim down , its face is rounded and bent. the differnce is huge. this is made for shaping more so than the v-spec and so far its MUCH easier to do. the maxima is still going to be higher laucnhing than the v-spec bec of the centre of gravity and the "slope'ier" head shape being a sloping rounded triangle. this wil get the ball airborn easier , and it DOES.. much more so than the v-spec. the 8.5* is at least as high as the 9.5 v-spec. NO DOUBTS HERE WHAT SO EVER. cant say in a match yet. but in the nets it was prob very very close. low launching shafts are a necceesity for this head if ur a strong swinger. think the ahina, diamanaX ,GD bb, white board, roddio S. attas red. form what i looked at yesterday , from out of the centre ,the maxima is a brute. cant wait to game it. to see where it ends up. might even need a longer distance shaft the feel is totaly fdiffernt to the v-spec ,and much nicer to me, , much crisper, and tingier. but its a differnt driver in my book its NOT a repalcement for the v-spec , i wont be chucking the v-spec and playing 3 of these instead. the longest of my ryoma hoard is still the 45.25 inch stinger 70X noticebly so yesterday. not sure where the maxima will sit yet . im thinking it will be an every day driver. its gonna take smonething special to dispalce the v-spec diamanaX combo for shiiity days wind play. that combo doninates when the conditions get demanding

Another session with it today I squared it off against the v spec I think i know what it is It think the maxima has a more convex face and so it looks closed The v spec is dead striaight face hardly any shape to it In comparison the maxima is much much more meniscusy!

Got mine today from my ryoma Diamna x 70s 44.75 inch X 323 gram X . D3 sw Exacty the same as. My ryoma vspec Was at the range hitting iboth of them and my yamaha tour fujikura typex The new ..... Ryoma is perfect Its def lower flighted with the diamna but not as much as the original v s Ec The. Vspec looks mor sqaure still but i dont think theres a difference The new ryoma i think off the middle was longer Cetainly felt so I liked its set up much much better than thev spec Hit everything form choked down stingers to high circular slices to punchy small hooks But. For the main its point shoot Getting the midle seemed easier than thebspec And its def a better feel Most assuaradly so Its still NOT a low launching head if itis indeed8.5 it certainly doesnt play like it For me.. Todays flight was spot on My thougths are. Itmay lokk closedbuti dont thik itis And. Id go one degree down to your normal drover with thishead Its not made for long drIvers at 115 plus but i cant see why that speed cant play it with the right shaft tipped Ill be gaming this first chance guaranteed Ithink its a heck of. A good head And. It hink. This combo so far is very well suited

Added taylor made tp 2007 japan model Endo forged 9.5 head Superb nick Zero wrong with it its perfect $150 All four heads for 900 shipped Thats the price of the beam at new which it virtually is anyway!

Jdm is 37.75 with ns 950 or modus shafts and 37.5 with dgs200 as a general rule of thumb Obv not set in stone but more often than not this is waht u will find

well.... unless my 4 sets o f these over the last 4 years with NS 95O s shafts in them morphed recently .......... then .355 tapered. http://www.nipponsha...h/steel/950.htm

.355 taper

well i know how good the diamnana X is i n the v-spec. its irrepalaceble in my line up. so it was an automatic choice for the maxima. ill go normal to start , same specs as the v-spec 9.5* hopefully i get it tonight and i can have a game with it on sunday and a range session agaisnt the v-spec, that will make some very interesting compasions. same specs ,same shaft

the s-yard head ill do head only or with the origina l shaft as the qadra fire express ican use in another head.

repriced...................! $250 shipped each

heads only or with various shaft options now......., price change

price drops... 2011 set heads only $390 shipped 2013 with shafts $400 shipped

hmmmmmmmmmmm so chris shud i tip my X befroe inatlaaiton or maybe put a tip weight in it?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yes.......... very eye catching, might go hit one of them tonight if ones availbe in any loft. like the idea of no offset very much

ill chime in here right now......... my 8.5 is actually real loft 10* and 1* closed. ive sent it back to ryoma for a square one and and 8.5* one which im getting today. they assure me, the new one is sqaure. i was shocked by the closed face as well. the diamana X is goin into mine.playing it sunday, salivating at the thought!

if anyone s got a spare set laying about and wants to upgrade. drop me a pm these ones..,

ok sorted for ryoma FW. new pics added. ill look at splitting the head /shafts

compared to the tr500 they are more comapct, slightyl squarer and more blade like. not as soft. the tr500 feel mushier. they might be clsoe to theperfect impact feel. these are a bit more tourstage 905 esque, but softer.. nicer.... inbetween topurtage 905 adn yamaha tour. pretty foookeeeen tasty
