Well, I bit the bullet. Just ordered one up with very custom specs. I still can’t believe there are so few reviews on this driver. I’m not the hitter I used to be but the 435 is still in play and my favorite head of all time so I’ll have a good starting point to compare this to.

Nice tools!

Wow, that’s crazy! I’ll let you know if he changes his mind.

It’s definitely a fair deal but I just asked and he’s not into those shafts.

What’s your current price and might you consider heads only?

You still have the idbls for sale. A friend hit my set but they’re not for sale.

It’s a coating, not a plating so black oxide will still react with the metal as if it were raw.

Played Bay and Plantation. Plantation was fun but definitely above my pay grade anymore! The only flat lie I had on an approach was 17 and the only shot I stuck.

I’m reluctant to do that. If it just doesn’t work for me I’d have an awful time trying to sell it.

I’d like to have you set up a fitting during my next trip like we did with Seven Dreamers.

Can you describe the fitting process? I prefer older blade putters like the Zen and wouldn’t give it up even if one of the new bricks on a stick made more putts for me. Can Benock fitting still improve my putting if I’m stubborn about what I want?

Finally is right! Lol Thank you for the review. If you come across a flat open head set it aside for me!

Wiping them down with oil keeps them looking pretty good but dipping them in black oxide makes them look brand new whenever you want.

The Yururi PDGs are not raw and don’t feel anywhere near as good as their raw Flatbacks.

Beautiful. Mine is still my gamer and I doubt anything will ever move it out of the bag...at least until I can get custom fitted for a Benock. GLWS!

I’d agree with that selection so far...but no Egg7 in your hof?

Hope you find some, they’re worth it!

I know I’m a one trick pony but I haven’t wanted anything since the special Tourstage X-FW Type T came out. It was longer with a more piecing trajectory for me than the original Ryoma or Egg. I never use a tee with woods but I’d say for most people the later two were both a bit easier to hit off the deck...but neither felt as good and I couldn’t stand the size of the Ryoma or the sound of the Egg. Also tried a jBeam and a few others and nothing came close for distance. The most recent Tour Edge Exotics and some damn thing that I can never remember the name of that Stew let me use in Japan a few years ago felt better anything I’ve ever played. I wouldn’t mind trying the new Ryoma but the Tourstage is so good I bought a second as back up for pretty cheap.

This is funny...these are the last two drivers to survive my collection. Even after all these years I don’t know that there’s been anything better than the 435 or D1 V-Spec!

Just the name

Always love your reviews buddy...but I can’t believe it’s taken you this long to try this combo! The 435/7D hasn’t been out of my bag since you and I played in Japan several years ago! My original review is around here somewhere and my only update would be that this head/shaft combo just gets better. My swing has gone to crap but it still keeps me in play with respectable distance and scoring far better than I deserve.

Just booked Kapalua for Monday and Tuesday the 1st and 2nd of May if anyone will be there. I never go to Maui so if there are any suggestions I’m open.

I have had one driver face crack on me. It was a Crazy 435 and a few years old and TSG/Crazy were awesome about replacement. I know I was lucky with that! Granted that was back when my swing was in the 110 range but I still don’t hear about it too much around here...not even with the hi-cor stuff.

Damn I wish this was 9.5*!

Went with the Crazy. Thanks guys!
