I love that feeling when you find "the one"! Congrats!!!

I'm not sure what my swing speed is nowadays. The last time I was measured was 105mph but my playing partners say that can't be right and estimate 112ish by my swing and distances. So I honestly don't know...

No, there isn't! A guy from our 4some asked to hit it on our last hole to compare it to his new TM driver. He hit two solid drives right down the center...but the 435 was over 30yds longer. I'm sure there's more to the results but it was what it was. The 435 is simply the king of distance! You do need to get one done! Let me know if you need his contact info again. ;)

Don't be sorry. Although I grew to accept and later kinda appreciate it, I'm still not a huge fan of the feel either. If there was anything that could match the 435's distance and felt better I'd be playing it!

Cool!

No, it's my buddy's. I've got a few friends with them, 3 with R34's 1 with an R33, and another with a 32. The 34's are STUPID fast...all with over 800hp!!

Here's the current rides, along with a photobomb from their tow vehicle when it's time to hit the track. Looking for something new right now but just can't decide. I REALLY want an RS6 Avant but they won't import them to the U.S. :(

Looks like they took a page out of Cobra's book. Their "Flow Set" is a pretty good set-up. Cobra even went overboard on the stamping...maybe to entice some jdm'ers! lol

I don't know if I'd say the 125 f4s play softer than stated flex...I just think they feel better than their steel counterparts.

Beautiful pics!

Thanks Stew!

Would really like to hear your thoughts comparing the x-line against the ly-02 and fex!

The ptune was on my radar until the trpx came on the scene. Wish I could join you on the range for this shootout! Btw, I added about 10g of cotton inside my 435 and it sounds and feels as good as anything right now.

Looking forward to another 435 vs trpx review!

Nice! I don't know what kind of course Poipu Bay is but I can likely return the favor there if you're interested. ;)

Hope this offer is still good when I go home! Lol ;)

According to the rules, I've often wondered how all these non "plain in shape" putters and specifically the Odyssey 2ball are considered legal...or even the egg spoon for that matter.

Sorry, no link but it's in the USGA rule book. Appendix II states "holes through the head (some exceptions may be made for putters and cavity back irons)" are in breach of the rules of conformity. Beginning a round with a club head that has a hole or open port is in breach of Rule 4-1a and carries a penalty of disqualification. However, if the weight falls out opening a port during the course of play, the player may choose to finish that stipulated round or repair the club if it doesn't unduly delay play (Rule 4-3). Charles Howell III was DQ'd earlier this year for this very reason.

Great reviews guys! Sounds like the trpx is the real deal...but when isn't it if it comes from jbeam! I look forward to reviews with their x-line shafts...

Lie, loft, material?

As rare, if not more so, than the coppers!

Thanks for sharing!!! I also grew up part time on Oahu and spent many summers with family on Kauai. Ironically while the local spots and treats are not new to me, I was never into golf while I was there and until last year had never played golf while home. My cousin is the beer-cart girl at Poipu Bay GC so I have "connections" to play. I made a promise while home last year that I would never return without clubs again!!

So true...there's not much in golf that can compare with the feeling of a pured mb long iron! Those sets are yummy!

Keep in mind that playing with an open port is illegal according to USGA rules...

One thing I've realized after playing several custom painted clubs is that after the first swing I never notice the paint job at address again. My focus is on the ball and set-up so there's no distractions at all. I guess I could see where others may feel differently...
