Really so far I like the feel of the 380 better but I love the square look of the 430. I will reshaft a few times before letting it go. I wish I could handle the P9003x but I just dont have the SS to pull it off.

I have the AD di 6 in another driver and I have an addi 7s in my R11 3 wood. They are great shafts. I dont know if I will keep all 3 but they are a good product. there is a reason that you see them frequently on tour in a driver. I have tried almost everything except Crazy shafts and I still go back to the ad di.

Do you think this head would work with a R Dec shaft. I want a low launch but I really want a driver that i can swing hard and fast with to maximize my avg S swing.

I picked this up online slightly used. First off this is a gorgeous head. I really like the 430 size and the square set up at address. it came with a Graphite design addi 6x at 45 inches. Feels really good so far. I was afraid the x flex would feel really stiff but it does not. The GD shafts are really good for me. I only had a chance to hit it yesterday on the range quickly as we had a rain storm coming in. I felt rushed so i will not make a firm judgement. However the head has a nice, muted feel to it. The face looks great as well. I feel that the Yonex line is very under rated on this site. I have a Yonex 380 that is the best feeling head that I have hit. I still may hang on to it and try a different shaft. Just great looking and feeling clubs. I go back to the range today to give them both more hits. I love the look of both drivers so I really hope I can find a gamer here. I may hang on to the 380 for windy or dry condition days. The only reason i listed it for sale was due to a low launch angle that does not help in the winter time when it is wet and cold. For those who may care about Yonex I will update as i go. Oh I firmly admit that I have been a driver merry go round that I desperately want to get off of.

Good to know. Thanks I really want to try the RD in a driver but I was on a radar this morning and I can actually crank it up to 108 now so that shaft would be a train reck waiting to happen.

I have a RDec Crazy in Regular flex. Plenty long at almost 46 inches. If i trim 1 inch from the tip what would be the flex rating? I have a SS of 102 on average so I know regular flex would be a train wreck. Would 1 inch from the tip get me to a stiff flex?

Okay I am lost in the banter. Is this head sold????

sold

I have the Yonex 380 right now and it has a sweet feel to it. It is soft but I still can tell when I hit the center of the clubface. Great driver. i hope to keep this one as it has the potential to be a beast in dry conditions. Now if you want max carry with little roll then stay away from this one. Mid launch is the best i can do but the rollout is great and should be even better when it warms up here in Ky.

Okay I purchased this head on an impulse, late at night, bored I guess buy. However This combo really surprised me. It is solid and long. Even in 34* temps on the range using range rock balls I was able to get this one out to the 250 plus area. Again it was cold and the balls are not even close to new. Nothing about my session told me to dump this driver. If I did not have 2 Yonex drivers on the way I would keep this one for sure. I have a Yonex 380 that I really want to work due to the smaller head. I have a feeling the TM would be a bomber in warmer weather. It is so hard to judge a driver this time of the year in 34* weather. I have a lot of cash out right now in the Yonex clubs so I have to let this one go. My wife is finally giving me the thats enough speech. Understood. This head is a tour issue tp head. It is lofted at 9.1*. This is the long hosel version that many still say is the longest TM they have hit. The shaft is a GD ad-di 6 stiff that has been tipped 1/2 inch. The grip is a almost new IOMIC. NO HEADCOVER. Only trade I would consider would be for some new wedges or putter. If this does not sell soon I will just keep it. See tour van sticker for additional info. $285 shipped in the US 48. Overseas will be $25 more. Club is in near mint condition.

Wow I am really liking the 380 Yonex. Did you have that bad of an experience with it? I hit some of my best drives with it in 34* temps. Rollout is insane. Cant imagine the summer roll it will get. i know that the launch monitor numbers will be too low but our course really does not require big carry bombs to be competitive.

Hey thanks for that. I really like the Yonex 380 but its early so I would like to have a backup plan. Feel and sound are important to me so the original is definitely not for me.

just sold my Crazy 460 head. I tried this head with many different shafts. great feel and forgiveness but the high launch did not work for me for max distance. I hit the ball fairly high naturally. I am now thinking about the Crazy 435II. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time. I currently game the Yonex Ezone 380 9*. Sweet driver but we are in the honeymoon stage. It may prove to be too much for me but as of now it is in the trial stage.

This is the 199 gram model. Edwin Watts put it on the scale and it was 201

Good to hear. Being happy is the key because that breeds confidence. I really like this head, just wish it was not a high launch.

That is good to hear. I believe in the JDM quality. Again the Crazy 460 head is a keeper for many reasons but there are so many great shafts available for so much less. I am not a JDM basher. The quality is second to none. I believe they make heads as forgiving and long as any out there. But when you start talking about $600 to $950 shafts I have to pause and consider everything that is available. Yes the head was a big leap of faith but so far it has given me hope that it is a super forgiving,great to look at and as long as anything out there so far. Keep me posted on your Ryoma. I may have dumped the Ryoma too quickly due to the stiff 7.2 shaft. I am trying to resist the 10. prem on here.

Oh yes I agree on the Crazy 7.2. It was too stiff for me when I really think about the sessions with it. I top out at 105-106 so a 6.9 or 6.7 is where I need to be. If I knew the crazy would dramatically change this heads performance I would order one. Several regulars from this site have PM me and let their true feelings be known. I am not a wealthy man so dropping $500 on a shaft just for a slightly better feel or a feeling of exclusivity is not worth it to me. I am trying to salvage the head because it has many qualities that I like over any other that I have tried. Most golfers that I play with have stock shafts in all of their woods. I am already an enigma because I do not.

Thanks for the input. I keep coming back to a GD ad-di. I think the 6s or 7s would work. I don't know why these are listed as high launch shafts because I see more of a mid launch from the 7s in my 3 wood. The Miya black is as listed, low and low. I had one in an R11 and it was by far the best combo. Now I must admit that is was not a smooth feeling shaft. The Indigo is smoother.

From his rationale the harder I swing with the lighter shaft it increases launch. Both outings seem to support this. My carry was good but there was little rollout at all. Yes my swing speed has increased but with a 102-106 swing speed it does not work. Tario talked me out of a Royal D Crazy due to my aggressive transition and SS. From the advice I have received a 65 to 70 gram shaft would fit my swing better and allow me to achieve a better launch angle. I am glad you like the Miya Black. I think the reason it failed for me was the 1/2 inch tipping that was done before I purchased it. The Black according to Miyazaki reps should not be tipped. Miyazaki actually advises people to not tip their shafts period. Who knows a non tipped Miya Black may be the way to go. I am afraid to tip the Indigo because they are hard to resale when you start chopping them.

I spoke to a club builder about my problem. With the Indigo it seems I have screwed up again in reverse. The Indigo is a 56 gram shaft. Not heavy enough for a high launch head. I am still having trouble forking out $500 or more for a Crazy shaft. I may try a GD tour ad-di or a Motore Speeder Tour spec. Both of these are very good shafts and should produce much better results. The Indigo would probably have delivered the goods in a heavier version. I played 18 holes yesterday with this combo again. At least one thing has come out of this so far. I really like the feel and sound of this head. Not ready to give up on the head but I am tired of the shaft search. It was fun for a while but now I just want to settle in and get this head the shaft that it deserves.

I gamed the Crazy/Miya indigo for 18 holes. Okay the temp was 39 degrees. We had 3 inches of rain that stopped the day before. No roll unless you landed in the rough and then maybe you got a little, maybe. I tried lower compression balls to combat the temps. Ball was Nike Power soft. It does help. Ball flight was better, shaft is fairly smooth but no longer than the Miyazaki black. At least in terms of carry. On pure hits I was in the same places as before. It's time to dump the head or order the Crazy tj46 Nero that Goochin recommend. Just not sure but I still do not want to give up on this one.

Well I am off to play 18 holes with the Crazy tomorrow. I had the Miyazaki Indigo installed with no tipping. The shaft is stiff and I have the playing length at 46 inches now. 44.5 was good but it just did not feel right. Too short. I hope this is the one. The Indigo is a low/mid launch shaft with low spin. Nice looking shaft. Miyazaki is the real deal. I have an offer from Goochin to try a Crazy TJ46. That may be my next step or you may see it in the BST.

Yep I am in pretty deep already, well deep for me. I have never dropped $900 plus on a driver. I really like the head but I do want to maximize its potential. It feels so sweet when you hit it pure. Good sound to.Sharp to look at to. Really want to keep this one.

Okay I gamed the Crazy 460 today for another 27 holes. This time it was with a Miyazaki Black tipped 1/2 inch at 44.5 inches. I really liked the launch and ball flight. huge improvement over the Miya white. The club feels great in my hands so I had a confident feeling all day. There was no ballooning with this combo. This head is really a keeper for me. I really want to justify it staying in the bag. I love the looks and feel of this head, plus i have the upgraded head cover that is really sharp as well. I hit several today pure so it was a good day to judge the new shaft. It was sunny here and 46 degrees with a 9 mph occational wind. I was very happy with everything except the distance. The pure shots were still nothing to brag about. I think my longest drive of the day was 270. Two of my regular playing partners were right with me even on the pure hits. With the Callaway RHTour I was 15 to 25 yards in front of them. A few times I hit it pure and just knew I was 20 yards in front only to find their ball close by. Again I played all year with these guys so I know their game and distance. Also I was still 2 clubs difference everywhere else so I have to believe that the Crazy 460 is still being held back. I may be in denial but I have to believe that the Miya Black is not letting this head produce its max results. I want to order a Royal deco but I just dont know. At that point I would have $1425 in this combo. Seems insane unless I truly get the big bomb yardage I was expecting. I do not want to go back to the RHT because of the forgiveness. What do you all think? Time to let the Crazy go and go back to Ping or Callaway?
