  1. TM R510TP. Still have it and still bring it out every now and then. Always hit it great. Will probably never get rid of it. Ever
  2. I've only hit the i4000X but can say that the shuttle clubs in general have a reputation for supreme forgivness and easy high launch. I tried the shuttle witht the rather soft (and light) original shaft and even though way too soft for me, the club was just super easy to hit. Went very high and very long. Good feel of the face too. I consider Maruman as being pioneers when it comes to "pancake" large FWs with super shallow faces. They were doing them years before everyone else I think.

    That blade looks amazing. It's great to really see the handmade aspect come through with that fantastic finish. Is it then more durable than the normal raw finish since it is plated?
  4. I've hit a few Super hyten Kasco drivers and they all felt great. That was years ago though
  5. OM2 looks good, it also seems to have a bit of leading edge relief/blunted leading edge? The other models looks like they have a sharper leading edge, just by looking at the photos.
  6. So they just enlarged the existing mold until it was 435cc and called it a new design?
  7. Sounds really interesting. The consensus have been that the 435 is better than the 435II but I have always liked the stealthy look of the II. Also, it sounds like this head is a perfect match with the HK Nero shaft
  8. Yep, fantastic looking driver
  9. For sure looks like a crack. Is that the non-conforming head? Because they are shaved thinner so are less durable
  10. Well, Sadlowski hits his putter 300 yards. With consistency too. He could probably crank his 6-iron up to 300+ yards without much trouble. Especially with a set like the OnOff forged, which is known to be long and features pretty strong lofts too
  11. Yes, obviously. It's not exactly common, but every long drive guy can probably do it with a 6-iron.
  12. Wow, the A-grind makes the .388 look large even. Though of course the shallow face on the .388 makes it look not that small behind the ball. Fantastic shape on the A-grind, looks so "hitable", reminds me of the Mizuno 611 but with an even more refined look.
  13. I think so too, but it's not what it says. I guess translation screw up
  14. So first you lose 20 yards if you don't use the DOA, but then get only 10 yards back if you do use it after all? Ok! Makes sense...not
  15. Fantastic service
  16. I saw these in person the other day, looked quite compact, like a players cb. The dual finish looked pretty good too once you hold the club in your hand, pretty classy even.
  17. Comparing a Diamana X in S with a Rouge in TX? Of course the TX will spin less and launch lower, no surprises there.
  18. Yeah, true that. To have a driver look neutral you usually need to have it 1 or 2 degrees open. Then it will look neutral, especially for people withva strong grip I think.
  19. Exactly. You can clearly see the relation when you hold a trpx head. Wasn't TRPX founded by some of the best Crazy engineers/designers? And then the heads are made by JBeam.
  20. He is looking for a straight ball so I actually think the TRPX is perfectly suited to his needs?
  21. I found the TRPX D to be the straightest driver i have ever had, just hit it a bit too high (it was a 10) so i sold it. So if you want a head that is forgiving and hit a straight ball so you can "swing away" I would say the TRPX is it. I'm still thinking about getting another one in lower loft.
  22. Although I think FineOne is Korean? So maybe not then. In that case, no idea

    Generally, softer and lighter equals more draw/hook, stiffer and heavier more fade/slice.
