ok. ive hit almsot everyhting there is thats very top end JDM. ive learned theres no , good- better best- over all no 1 . theres more what is best sutied to a particualr head. than a clear winner . i m lucky as i have THE best clubbuilder this side of the pond 1 km from my house. my old guy was good.. the new guy is REDICULOUS for his ability to build a club to such precise details, he wont do some of them bec in his eyes they are imperfect for me. that my firends u cant pay enough for...! so u shud see his face when i bring in 20 drivers and say .. tired of these what do u think , what goes where ? he always says which one is yr "favourite" and which one do u hit best in both heads and shafts i always state the diamana stinger is my "gold standard" everything gets judged against this and head wise i use the yamaha tour . both these together make a hell of a club combo, but curiosity killing the cat , i have to swap everything out just to make sure. doing this ive actualyl found that these two together are NOT the best combo for me. but on another head/shaft then i cud die happily with just that combo ie.. stinger / ryoma------------or yamaha /crazy cb50 for example but what ive found individually is this the crazy shafts , each of them, play tighter and truer to the indicated flex than the rest. i guess thats why they are so damn expensive . the one i like to play the most is the cb50 . but the one i play the best is the ls noir. this is also the most incredible feeling shaft as well. its doenst feel like theres a weak point or flex point in it at all. (to be brutally honest with myself i shud prob just be using this shaft alone and forgo all others.and i shud be usung it in the ryoma!) the cb 50 sigma is the BRUTE of the bunch. this hting is humongous when i get th middle of any head with this shaft its the longest. but at 83 gram im still to find a perfect partner for it head wise. the ryoma struggeld , the yamaha faltered the crz 425 was too lofty.. im thinking the kamui pro kp-x 9.5* h head @ 198 gram and this will be a match made i n heaven , this is going to be my new weeks make for this wekeend. i know how good the GD p9003x is in it and this shaft is jsut a bit softer than the GD so, pretty sure this will be a beauty. the longest yard 01 was huge but hi ad to play it at 46 inch and i hated having 12 feet of overhang out the back of my hands. this is a really strong shaft made purel;y for distiance i found , its light . prob too mcuh for my liking hence why i havnt gone the roy dec route. the GD range ive never really gotten on with........................... till now i played the ev6 for while and found t hat balooned too much for my liking, it was really easy to play and a great hsft for a bit sorter swinger, my mate still playes it nad is deadly accurate, but it wasnt my style. the DI..... hmmmmmmmmmmm the di............. strong finicky and tempremental.. (gee wonder why somone BIG played it?) i found this to be a very good shaft if u hit the ball at smash factor 1.49+ if not.. the ball went everywhere, i guess thats why they wenth te eact opposite direction next yr with e DJ, thats gone too far control i think, dontthiink u get full vlauce for hsots distance wise, but oh boy the ball doesnt really deviate side ways one bit. if thats what u need, this thing is really quite good. the BB ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the BB the more i play htins shaft the better it gets. ive gamed it in 6s-6x-7s-7x and its a bloody good all rounder. im my opinion ithink this shaft is the best allrounder i have flight is nt high. low strong weak, fadey or snappy. its not huge nor short. and for the price, well..................... its a winner winner chicken dinner. they amke this in so many weights and flex it sutie every player out here, the graphics are beautiful just a lovely dakr sky blue and white rings. suits every head ive tried it in. ths is MY recomened shaft too all and sundry. theres better tighter ones like crazy, and ive hit them in the same head same day same tee ,and the crazy is better, but tis double the price so it would want to be! but if u havnt hit the crayzline then this is a beaut. the quadra line . the fex is a ledgend u can feel the extra glass in it immediatly and ur a happycamper. if u slice the ball id stay way from this but if u can ht draws all day then u prob dont want another shaft. incredibly wll priced for the quality u get.. its ESASILY the pound fo pound shaft at the price, but only if u dont slice! theres a reason shigeki maruyama gamed this out of the blue 4 years ago. at the ime it was the gold standard. the prototype they introduced a cpl of yrs later was lower and tighter i thought i gamed it im my epon102 and that was a match made in heaven, the best combo i n that head ive ever hit . didnt like it in a few others but i nthe epon whoa dragon! the nthe diamanas. so many so very very many...., the new X shaft si t he one thats caught my attention the most. the spin numbers with it at he tokyo show were eye opening .so much so i had to have the first one available. headed it with a kamui pro nad didnt miss a fairway. its now it hte epon zero and its controlling that beast like schumaker did the prancing horses once upon a time. the zero IS the ferrari of driver heads, make no mistake, its the ENZO of heads. i dont take this out unless im planning on doing a few laps at norburgring in the sunshine in no wind! if u get my drift. it had the crazy ls noir in it and oh my god.... this was peerless. i coundt handle it tho , the diamana deos a much betetr job of keeping the tyres on the tarmat! the boron gang the diamana stinger the original (and best? ) and the crazy two-three boron . diffent feel. high flight electric eel feel. not overly stiff but not soft . gives a ver yfalse sense of security bec it feels like its play s soft but it most cetianly doesnt! these were made for the pros in 2004 then redesigned STIFFER in 2009 for the lucky 1000 recipients at the price of small country in africa. but they out and out perform. for the doubters out there about its ability , well i was 100% confirmed of its legitimacy in march this yr when i lent a STIFF not an x to my buddy wh swings ESAILY over 125mph and he flew my 301 yard wind assisted happy gilmour drive with a baby miid flighted draw by 15 -20 yards??? ive never seen anything like this drive before nor do i exect to see it again. we marked out 335 yards with a nikon350 rangey .. yes the stinger IS THE REAL DEAL . (and in S ! ) the crazy boron is thinner with a bigger circumfrence that the stinger. and it think its a bit softer and easier to play. its half the cost as well. (weird that???) i have one in a epon 101 and it aint coming out anytime this century. perfect match. idint think this was possible but its even beter than the the quadra fex matching that head. juts beuattiful to play,. dont feel llike u have ti kill it, can just swing thru the ball , no real sideways movement with it , tis not a shaper, boron and shape just dont go together. swing ting down there!. the only other shaft range that gets no airtime no love and no sales is the roddio range. obv they dont do any valuable advertising, . i ahve as many ofthese as anything else. the new range are heavy stiff and thunpimng, the S range is quitefierce, the M range a lot easier ahd higher ,but incredibly tight. i acnt wait t osee what the new ones they are releasing end of this yr come out like. u can guarantee il be getting one. the mack daddy of them is the 2010 shingo spec m6 proto@ 280 cpm. i just putthis in my ryoma d1 last weekend and im breaking her in , sh was a bit bucking bronco i nthe match on sunday ,but the good swsing i hit were as good as anything i have hit. and as long. just need to choke down an inch to get the ball to turn over, bec this shaft u can make sing like kate bush can hit high notes. awsome driver this one .... think i mihgt have new ichi ban driver. ithink ...., this concludes my thoughts. adieu.

id think ull ease right into them

its the issue the club came with fukikra reax 65 s. 45 inch tis pretty good really. i had no probs at all with it a cpl of yrs before i went MAD o n shaft swapping. wont say its hideosu nor great. crazy ls noir however...................................., it is NOT

ahhhhhhhhhh thats him... yes that movie is awsome.... hes a a top guy here very watchable guy gee they mde his own club. nice touch , i shudda nicked it!

yea this and the old burner TP are the only tm things i have and they are both great stuff. the burner isnt long but if theres a straigher driver... i havnt hit it

you know what off.. im going to do it super qaud with drawn!

i was going to reshaft this with te bb6x

really......................... ok im in the market for new lob wedge going to give this a try'

yup

i agree the TS dont have that kind of (expected form JDM) marshmallow feel at impact, neither do kyoei forged heads, but the good point about them is you know exactly where u have hit the ball on the face..

get the 435 in 10.5!

nup

yea thats the crazy 450 they tke othe makers driver heads and make them thier own. this is really really really erally really.. u get the point LOW. i love the head shape at address but its low. its prob lower than the 435 i think and its very low spin. i dont htink its as good as the 435 by jbeam ( then agn not much is really). its a long ball lama driver. but i think ull find a few more options that are better. i ahd this for a while but hte shaft in it wa too soft and i kept hitting it left. i tried this at crazy factory and i liked htis the most but the crazy doods said i shud be using the 435. i think the quality isnt quite up to the crazy standards from memory. i didnt find that at all, i liked it but them the words..

the whole shebang !

hang on did i read that right if the greens are lightnin faaaaast u make the club heavier? i go the other way if its slow i use the heavier club if its lighning i use the wand

ok i have all these shafts sitting idle for so long that i really cant seee myself using them agn. they are alli n great shape naturally. dont know what i want so looking to get the grey matter chugging and who know we might just be able to barter? seriosuly i dont knwo ehat im looking for so throw em up see what sticks huh. oh dont know if u i need to post piccys on these??????? thought wed go down that route once ideas started flowing that ok mods? cheers

hmmmmmm me think u will be back to c tapers very quickly

i think ull struggle on this one sir. i can ask about if ulike?

the yamaha tour irons are great , the newer models are very much geared towards greater control, the 2011 are a lot more robust! u can get a set of thoese without too many problems id think. nothings wrong with miura USA.... its just not miura giken. apples and apples. as they say the "whole miua giken experience fitting experience is priceless" the isms are much better blade than the 1957 which are just an issue ,the isms are customed made , best selected shafts blahblahblah...... im not extolling miura really ,but ive got a few sets they are good. IMO yamaha are as good if not better , but a differnt style of club, dont worry about thick topline, they arnt ,and the narrow neck assures ur looiking at a VERY pro esque club . the 2011 ESPECIALLY so.

or................ where that bulb is on the back , put some lead tape over the gold emblem , my clubbuilder that introiduced me to the ryoma did this for my first one. it bought he flight down and made it heavier. i just coloured the lead tape in black pen and it looks fine

hahahahah glad someone else recognises the srixon pro 100s ... i have 6 sets shafted with differnt engines to cater for ALL conditions. these are so damn good, its the PW that annoys guys tho, personally i love it. but inever thought to say that bec these are"old" 2003 models. these are my gamers now. and ive got a LOT of blades to play. these get the nod these days

u got the kp-x? what shaft and what loft? oh ur going to laugh when u see how long this thing goes. what weight as well. bec if its the 10.5*(which is light ) id suggest gettting a cpl of heavier weights in it the 9.5is lowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww im reshafting mine this week tugging the fiamma and putting in the bb7s think that mightbe beaut set up i reshafted the 10.5 with the crazy ls noir but its to light hits moon balls, 100% carry. i want bit more roll just make it heavier and it will be much better 44.75 inch these are serious heads for hitting the ball hard. idont think ive got anything longer as with everything blance is key the GD90003x 10.5 * @ 44.5 inch driver is incredible. its o nthe cusp of me being able to play it to its full extent bec that shaft is just so full on!

now THIS is goingto spur thougths on shaft length i bought my 4 yr old daughter a $10 generic "7" iron its not its just a cheap kids club prob about 20 inchs? what ever it is i dont know but it s a kids club so u get the drift. we were playing i nthe garden with it and i was chipping balls to her about 10 feet , ididnt miss one, i dint miss a beat. now i was actually thinking of taking this out to a game and seeing whats what with crazy short shaft length ,designed only for short shots of course, bec the accuracy and distance control just mucking around was eye opening. i guess its like robert garigus playing a 29 inch putter?????

price change $115 and $150 just want to clean some room these are very good clubs.

not the original but yes
