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

Good snare that box They come in very handy for ur precious

ok............ ive had a dozen done by him now. the equation is pretty simple...... take ur BEST putter. the one u really really love. THE one... send it to tario. get him to look at it. get him to suggest someting do it. only one caveat to this process. get the original horizontal PZ milling IF u like a soft but incredible controled fwd roll. the diff is noticeable i think u have to hit the ball slightyl harder but the end result is perfection in hawaii i played with 17 putters form every one. the clear.................... clear................ best ones were the golds modified ones and the best of the best was I-drives master piece. which ive COMPLETLEY plagerised on a new build im getting back soon !!!!!!!

Jay. ive got a 3 differnt golds styles. one is a "private stock no2" one a SUS 303 one a GSS 350 the private stock looks sleeker and longer the 303 is bit squarer adn th e GSS is higher shorter chunkier. i dotn KNOW .......... if thast true but to my eye thats what i immediatly get. i think the privae stock now is the tiger tribute model.. and ive never seen another GSS. i prefer the look of the private stock. i like the feel of the GSS. much better , iu think its thicker all roundness helps me think its better. the sus 303 bec its silver, i dont really have an opinio positive or negative on. its just"is" put it like this id never sell the PSno2

the 2011 are now 49-52-57 heads...........$400 shipped the 2013 are now 52-56- 58 all with dg s200................$425 shipped all are in senational condition. they are basically mint

sorry.......... this is my fav head shape. ive already pikced out a new design for it.

looks like another set of blades for next year then. you beauty! great snaps hiro-san. i see fujita pro uses the GD z9003 by the looks of hte slighhlty darker colouring, first thought it was the p9 but i thik its the z9 and the fubuki.
