  1. Thanks for the info Kevin. Just picked up a used x2 on the bay. Always liked the 3 dot seemore alignment. can't wait to try her out!
  2. Have been thinking about getting one of those Scotty Red X2 Lawsuit putters and sending it in to Gold's for mods. Anyone have experience with the Red X2 with the GSS insert?
  3. Yamaha V203 9* Head Only and Diamana B 70 X added
  4. Price Lowered .... AGAIN !!

    Yup, I was just thinking about that. Though sadly the Maxima did not work so well even with the WBQ. I feel that this WBQ shaft is one of the most neutral behaving shafts out there. It has no weird behavior at all. What you do as the operator, is reflected in the result. Regarding the flex, I agree that it seems to cover a very wide range of SS. My first WBQ was a 65 Stiff and I had no issues swinging at 110. I now use a 75 SX in the P-Tune and 65 X in the Tourstage and they both seem to work well with my SS. The original Fire Express is an excellent shaft as well, and then came the Proto which I think they over did some stuff. ( made it a bit twitchy ) Then with WBQ, they dialed it in just right. I might need to get another for the Yamaha... They also recently released an FW shaft with the same color scheme called the Type D . Not sure of the characteristics, but as a Fire Express fanatic, I should try it out,

    Sure. I'll get some comparo pics tonight. BTW, I hit the X drive 709 / WBQ Combo today and this thing is a monster. Not really a workable driver like the P-Tune but it goes straight and long. Such an automatic driver!! I am seriously considering putting it in play for the local tournament this weekend. Yamaha V203 / Diamana B still launches way too low for me. I guess that is just how it is. Every driver I have ever hit, I always needed the lowest loft available. EXCEPT for Yamaha Tour drivers. Tried a 4.6V RPM in 9* earlier this summer and now the V203 in 9* These heads are such low launching. I really do love the shape as well as feel and sound of the 203, so I think I will be giving up on the 9* to find a 10* deg head instead. Back to the P-Tune discussion :)  I think this driver provides a perfect balance between distance and control. It is a 440cc semi shallow head. It is visually confidence inspiring and not intimidating. Launches fairly easy, feel and sound are close to being perfect. ( For me, V203 is the perfect driver from a shape, feel and sound perspective, I just can't hit it well :( ) For those of you looking for a players driver with good balance of forgiveness and workability, I highly recommend giving the P-Tune a try.

    Akapur, welcome to the P-Tune Club! P-Tune is sitting tight in my bag now for close to 4 months. For me, that is the longest time a single driver held the ace position in recent years, I have a Yamaha V203 / Diamana B and a Tourstage 709 / FE MAX WBQ that I am testing out tomorrow. I am pretty confident at this point that P-Tune will be staying in the bag for the local tournament this weekend, but we shall see. On the longer term I do need a back up driver ... so if these two don't work out, I may just end up ordering another PG313!!
  8. I like the simple clean look! GLWS

    Just back from my 5 driver shootout including the P-Tune - Mizuno 611 9* / Diamana B 70 X - Yamaha V203 9* / Tour AD GT-6 S - Epon Zero / Waccine Compo GR-88 TS - P-Tune PG313 9* / WBQ Max 75 SX - Srixon ZR-30 8.5* / Crazy Boron X While I love having multiple divers and rotating thru different clubs, and I really like all of these divers I am trying to cut down to 3 drivers. Here are my feedback for distance, forgiveness, workability, looks, feel, sound - Distance champion goes to Epon Zero. but only when I can pure it :-) PTune is a close 2nd - Forgivess goes to PTune. all the rest are slightly more demanding. - Workability goes to Epon Zero with the rest a bit less sensitive to deliberate swings. - Looks. honestly they all look good, :-) but overall preference goes to V203 - Feel at impact. Epon Zero had the softest impact. - Sound, I 'd have to go with the Yamaha on this one. Reminds me of Titleist 983k. Nicely muted but not dead. I think I will try a different shaft in the Yamaha and see if I can dial in the ball flight. It is some how very low launching with the stock shaft....
  12. Great review Stew-san, "Frozen butter with marshmallow " sounds like a new ice cream flavor out of Baskin Robbins :-) Just picked up a used Mizzy 611 with a Diamana B 70x that I am hoping will not be too stout for me. From what I read in Japanese blog reviews is that it is so smooth that you can go one flex up without getting punished too much. I'll be hitting it on the range today..... we'll see how she works for me. Do you think the profile is similar to the Stinger? when I showed my Stinger to a fitting pro who works at Cool Clubs a couple of months ago, (spending his summer in Montana where he is originally from ) He mentioned that the Diamana B was supposedly the retail versin of the Stinger Proto. well first off, B is not a Boron shaft, so it can't be identical.... But perhaps they tried to imitate the Stinger's profile and feel without using Boron? Just hoping the x flex is still usable for me.

    I am not surprised by Tae's comments. It's actually that good! I did an 8 driver shootout on trackman a few weeks back and P-Tune came out as top dog. Will be doing another trackman session within the next couple of weeks against some Endo drivers: Yamaha V203, Epon Zero , Mizuno Craft 611 and Toustage 709 Stay tuned !!

    I bought an extra sleeve when i got my head. Unlike other manufacturers, they actually sell sleeves individually. And yes, they are reusable. Slightly larger diameter ferrule required, but available thru the bay

    I thought I was the only one using this driver and today discovered two more members here who were gaming it. Please share your thoughts on the P-Tune PG313!!

    Can I ask what the weight of the head is?
