Yamaha Driver Thread!!!
the 10* head i find is perfect with EVREY shaft i put in it. the 9* is LOT less forgiving and needs a higher laucnhing shaft for normal people. the bb6x i nthe 9* was great but it leaked right with slice , the 10* idont find that .., i might push it a bit but not a real dead real slice (comapred to the 9*) as a general rule with yamaha, ive found u can go the higher loft with confidence for the general majority ..., and 10* is nt really a high loft! never trust a shiiiiiiiiiiiiity fall out of the sky range ball.. they lie like a roppongi stripper on a thursday night at 2am...!

Expensive shafts in cold(ish) weather.
you got it... ive snapped 12....by loking at them.... in winter.. chuck norris got NOTHING on me...! god no.. ive never had an issue at all. with any club i was just asking bec of the initial post. id never considered that normal playing temps cud make the club " potentially vulnerable" i do know that in colder conds higher laucn and a flexier shaft = more distance. thats about it. perfect....

royal collection bbd 305v 15*
what i shud have said...... was......., its whippier than the shafts i normally play. if u match this agianst a graphite design p9003x. or a diamana stiinger X... or the GD bb7x... or crazy fw 8.2...... which most know .. i play......'then.........., well u see what im saying......, its whippiER..... as i said tho.., its a very good shaft ,and an excellent stock issue, as all GD shafts are. without exception but its not suited perfectly for me.... ur right it does hit the ball very piercing and low nad what id call a strong flight. which suits this head pefectly. but when u got the 2 differnt 3 woods i have then this one is a perfect blend of both. as i said if u had. like most guys, just 1 spoon............., then this would be perfect. but ilike the egg off the deck better.. and ilike the yamaha better off a tee. as an allround 3 wood this takes beating. but i dont need all round i want specific. thats it.

Does 10-15 grams make such a big difference in distance and dispersion?
GOOD LORD 10-15 grams in a driver is mahoooooooooooooooooooooosive! is more about gtting aswing weight that suits yr temo best than out right weight. ala my d7 which was WAY to heavy both weigh and SW brought down the d3.5 aqnd 10 grams lighter was infinitly better than d0 at 20 grams lighter. the initial d7 was better than the d0 ehci hjust balooned. at least the d7 was a strong flight nad would have rolled 20 odd yards the do had backsp ur eye shud tell you what u like to hit best if u make too heab=vy ot too light u can immediatly tell, instantly that somethiing is wrong. thats what i do every week. i literally just look at results. my clubbuilder knows my bets suited SW is about d2-d4 outsde that im whinging like a stuck pig. the flight the sECond u ht the ball tells you what u have.. good flight is instanlty recogniseABLE. 10 GRAMS IS HUGE

royal collection bbd 305v 15*
been salivting on this 3 wood for yonks and i finally got my mits on one via a pal. used it first time yesterday, and i hit about 20-25 balls with it on the range. in perfect conditions it lies right dead set in between the egg and the yamaha its sleek but not as the egg nad its "normal " but not as the yamaha. i got no place for it , unless send it to oz, but i got an egg down there so no point. the GD shaft is good. its a real FW shaft not a driver shaft cut, thats immediatly evident. its too whippy for my taste its "S" i was going to swap the shaft for my stinger.... but after plenty of balls with all 3 types of fws wood this one is an in betweener. and im loving the egg too much if u have only 1.., 3 wood this is really darn good.bec its got the sleekness for fairway use and u can tee it no probs AND its RC so thast no surprise. im not gonna keep it. thought about putting it in my oz bag. .but the eggs going isnstead. its in good-very good nick with tiny marks near the crown not enough to bother 99.9 % of humanity but ..., sell VIA Pay pal shipped via EMS ( ofcourse..!) $395 shipped.

im same as i-drive. jpan gets to 2-3 degree C over winter and i never give it a second thought. obv i go to really high lauch and softer shafts or the ball goes no where but yes good question, i like to know "if" thast a consideration as well....

new driver build... k-px 12* 44.25 inch
got it today. 44.25 x 344 gram x d7 head with weights at 207.5 gram first 5 shots went NOWHERE lucky to go 250 yards swapped out the weights to 14 less and the ball wen nowherebut left. fiddles about got the weighting right head back to 200 gram and BINGO.., the ball doesnt go anywhere but gunbarel staright. there is NO shape to it what so ever. got it out over the 250 yard carry mark not a problem height was mediated by the low shaft ( which has NO feel what so ever) but the intended build has been satisfied i think its longer than the kasco. MILEs longer than the 3 wood. yup i got a rescue driver!

name your top 5 iron makers in order
in fact... in going to break down my fav sets from the differnt styles of irons sets EPON persoanls-----, MUSCLE BACK cant imagine palying anything else . once i got settled with them ,chich was about 1 round , i just said right im long a LOT of superfluous superb iron sets that the persoanls just blew out of the water like metal storm to a mound of watermellons MIURA cb3002------, CAVITY ive not played as many low rounds as i have with these babies, they are HUGE prepsoterously square . massively off set. cavity backed ladies irons....................., that i shafted first with nS1150X (WHICH WERE TOO LIGHT) then TT monacco which makes the massively heavy... matters not i dont seem to play a bad round with them they feel fantastic as well, and have well and truely knocked every other cavity back iron set out of my search ad infinitum. i was lucky to get set in A-grade condition that i will keep for ever. and prob just reshaft when im a dinosaur. they are NOT to many peoples taste, but to me they play as relaibly as a the hachikou dog..! YURURI flatback ------, BLADES why did i sell these, talk about dumbass i shudda just reshafted them ! MIURA MB5002 -------,BLADES not QUITE as nice to hit as the miuraisms. but the shape makes up for it +more. very old school styling, soft as a babies bum workable as u like. with a very"weird" stlying to the pw-aw which i LOVE and hit with great confidence. i think these are the best blades ive played consistantly. small compact and a joy to hit. id sell many an iron before i moved these on . PR-GR data 811----,GAME IMPROVEMENT. my first set of JDM irons bought in sept 2001 played soley till 2004 when they were put aside NEVER SOLD.. for a set of PR-GR 900md. the data 811 need to be seen to be believed. if uwant to see a set golf clubs that most resemble a shovel........ THIS is them. 3-sw and at 180k a set on release well u can see these werent mickey mouse. still got them.. still play them from time to time for fun. these took me from an 18 hcaper (off the tips ) to 12, then i moved up a notch. i wont ever sell these things. the shafts are just the stock PR-GR shafts that seemd to work ok for a bunch of yrs. these are my all time favs. of ALL irons. i had to put 2 blades sets in considering ive played so many more blades than anything esle. the srixon pro 100s were right there but the feel of them let them down. they are very good , but not great. i actually play these better than the yururi but when u hit a yururi,, well....... u understand. the yonex ezones are another set i think are good , but for ME a little ":flimsy? veyr thin.. think i prefer a bit mreo "beefier clunk: to play tho, damn fine . not many better surgical tools than these. like wise the new tourstage 905, if only the shape were differnt ever so slightyl. similar to the pain i feel wit he epon 302s the epon302 were another favourite that i absolutely LOVE , but cant get on with i just cudnt get them wired consistantly. when i did get along witht them , theres prob not better iron set i can think of. the 301s i havnt had enough time with to consider properly. and the yamaha tour irons which for the last 3 yrs ive been gaming more than anything else. as much as i love all thesemodels i putt hem in the same class asthe 302 and epon perosnals,, and the personals got it. and these new kamui pro ones .. well time will tell bec right now, they are FIRMLY staying put in my bags while others make thier way out .
