Jerry in China

yeah, thx. but when will come the Japanese Golf Fair? sadly, i am going hawaii today...

yeah, same question here....

i did do a lot of center hits. but still the ratio is not going up to somewhere like 98. I am working on it

I tried the PRGE RED to measure up my impact efficiency. You know what, I got a 94% on Ryoma 8.5 with 6.9 crazy LY -1. However, when I try spoon, i am doing 97-98%. That is really funny, cause you should get a high rate on driver... someone tells me what is really wrong? I swing 1 wood at 47, and 3 wood at 43.

looks very nice. I got the premia. But thought that V-Spec looks better

btw, if you have noticed. one more game, i will get the money of the driver back... Gee, such a good head with shaft....

I did not use Ryoma in the tournament.... Because it is a game that I can win without any improvement in any thing. So I chose to not risk a club. And I used the old one. And here is the review as I used the combo today between a gamble game. We play Les vegas. ok. so, there are 18 holes. I won 1200. 100 per hole. So, that means, I won 15, and lost 3. Want me to say something about the drive... I did 4 to 5 bad drive, majorly because of the loft. With 8.5, if you do not get it up sweet, it will not perform... And it is the first time Ryoma goes to the field. I have to tee it up a bit higher than the EMS, that is normal as EMS is shallow. I feel excited. Well, so excited. I can shoot the ball so so far away from others.... hahahaha.... I used to have a huge carry, more than 260, but little roll. Now, I have the rolling... Although I am not driving every hole perfectly, I can see it come. When I mis hit, I hit on the shallow side, I guess that is because of the depth of the club. I will take this to the tournament next month. It will rock. I will hit an average of 300....hahahahhaha

haha. I will write the feedback tonight. Despite my late drinking night watching the first round of master, I made the cut into the nationwide inter-country club golf test. The game will be on 5.9-5.11 However, I did not use the Ryoma.... Yesterday, the game was on a short and narrow course. I desided to use the old EMS + GD. I do not want to play the mind game switching to a new club in a big game... haha I am at the course now, and will shoot the ryoma first time in the field in one hour.

what does that 7.4 mean? And what is the CPM of it?

i used to use a Honma set. Steel shafted 803. The head is pretty big. It is not a better player's set. It is like burner or so. High launch. Pretty good club. Very forgiving and long. The old 801 has a very good control I use honma 7 driver. Very long. Very good ball flight. 3 star. I like the 710. The 813 driver is pretty hard. The stiff shaft is pretty stiff. I use the 7 to get a light driver for faster speed. I like those clubs. and I did very good with them. Do not get me wrong, I am not a senior player. Now, I am using Epon AF-Tour + KBS. And using Ryoma + Crazy LY Black Hot 7.4. So honma is not that bad. Esp for the normal sets. The 4,5 stars are for those who want to buy gold color. Just because they offered this line for the highend market. That's it

it is fine. I just need more time with it. I might hit too hard on it. I will adjust my swing a little bit. It is 460? It looks much smaller than the EMS. And the Crazy shaft feels so great. Such a compact feeling. The DI is a bit lousy compared to it. I will just be super with this driver... It might have went too far. Because the end of the range is a down slope where I cannot see. I decided to take it to the real competition tomorrow. I just like the feeling of the impact that transfer through crazy to my hand. The "Da" sound is really solid. I have to admit, I love this driver. And tomorrow, it will give some people, including me, some shock.... hahahaha Btw, i got the WIn Win head cover. No problem

BTW, i guess the reason why I feel Ryoma is such a outstanding head is because of the size of the head. It is much smaller than the 460 that i used to.

It is very surprising today. Here is why... I STILL CANNOT SEE WHERE THE BALL LANDED.... Well, other than that, just like yesterday. Perfect contact, solid impact, nice kick of the shaft. So comfortable. Compare to the Epong + GD, the trajectory is lower, (well, 8.5 VS 9.5). The only thing is that my ball is little bit towards the left, and a draw. Well, my natural swing is draw. And the Ryoma is 10 gram lighter than my Epon/GD. So, left ball is expected. Compare to Epon, the flight is so penetrating... Tomorrow, I will join a cross China competition, between upscale golf clubs. I am thinking about taking both, just like Phil... Hahaha.... Well, to sum it up, I believe that I will be super with this ryoma, besides the under tune black shaft and head.... hahahaha.... What is the head size of Ryoma? 425?

Gocchin is right. I was not disappointed at the range. The feel, sound, etc are really good. I liked it. It was just not seeing where the ball land. I got a nice magnetic cover. So cover no problem. i am all fine with the look. Just really want to see the performance Heading out now.

me heading out to the range in 3 hours. still raining. cannot play. but can drive. Let me pray

yeah, like waiting for eternity. man, think about it. Everyone is talking about this head. It should jump out on me like a monster....hahahaha... It is a good head, i know it from the feeling. I just want to go out in the dark, and shoot a ball, then using a torch to figure out the distance....

Do not take me wrong. The quality is good. It is just, not flashy to eyes... :) very detailed work, but conservative design. Nothing special, and nothing standing out. Just another driver, I would say, from the look. But that is compare to so many other drivers put a lot of attention to the outlook of the club:) And i was not even on the range. But in my office room...:) In the range, I feel pretty good. really good on the feeling and trajectory. It will rain again tomorrow... A competition will come up on Friday. Really want to test it on the course. really really want. That is why cannot sleep...

All right. Got mine. Today is raining. My driver went to get the club for me. Took him 2 hours as he did something else. Finally had mine in Hand. Excited. So, I opened the box... Disappointed. The cover is bad design. Zipper is no good for a headcover, too much work to get in and out. And the look of the head, and the look of the shaft, compare to the flashy looking EMS and GD shaft, disappointed. Had a meeting during dinner, only catch the driving range 5 minutes before it closed. Really want to hit some balls.... I am eased off. Very very nice sound. Like a click. Very very nice feeling. The shaft is very comfortable. It makes me feel that the shaft is more compact than the GD. Compare to Crazy, the GD feels all over the place, but crazy is rather like a knife cut through air. Do not know why i feel like so. Trajectory wise, pretty good flight. My drive always fly high, thus I am picking the 8.5 to get a low trajectory. Looks nice, penetrating. so how about the distance? gee, I do not know. not at all...:'( It was raining and too dark to see.... Sigh, cannot sleep well tonight....

my q. what is your swing speed? thought people with a 240 carry will go for a 7.2 crazy

what is the normal gain?

Ryoma should have some distance gain I believe. Because of its 0.35mm thickness spreading 90% of its body to save the CG back and low. Most other driver have 0.35mm at the thinnest spot on the crown, and thats it. Thus Ryoma has a deeper and lower CG. That is all the story. If ryoma comes out with a non confirming head....

I am waiting for the club to come... I ordered a premia 8.5. Was thinking about v spec 8.5, 'cause i really like the black color over gold. However, I prefer squared face. I hate closed face. Not sure about the open one.... Hopefully i made the right decision

why not go 8.5 on loft? with a lower and deeper cg, get the ball into air is not a problem. And a lower loft will help to run... am i right? I ordered a 8.5 myself, 2 hours ago...

where to get it?

I am thinking about makeing a driver for myself. need some help here on the combo. Here is my situation: I used to use Honma drivers. The 7, such as 710, 703 etc, 9 degree, s flex. I like the light weight of the shaft, and those drivers are really good. Now I am playing Epon EMS, 9.5 loft, with Graphite Design DI-6, SR flex 46". I was told that EMS is deep bore, thus the flex should be OK. It is a good driver, I like the feeling, the shape, and the bit long shaft does not bother me. WIth this GD, I could create a lower trajectory than those honmas, although the loft is 0.5 more. However, I am not happy enough though. Well, i guess no one is. I think I created too much spin on this driver. The fact is that when i go out play, my carry is a lot more than my buddies, however, the rolling distance is very short. I have a higher ball flight, and when against wind, I do got worse result. Thus I am seeking for a combo that will help me out. I do not mind using 46, and I have very good ball contact. The problem might be I have a bit deep attacking angle. My swing speed is roughly 48-50 m/s, say 108 mph. 260-280, can do 310 occationally. Any good suggestion?
