I have been looking all over for one. If you got one and want to part ways with it, please let me know. Thanks :laugh:

Thank you for all your kind words. I guess you could say that my bag is set, but like all you know, not one club in there is safe from replacement :smile2: BTW - I got those Scratch Protos from Swunk. He is a great guy and a dream to do business with. Thanks Swunk. As far as my SST puring and C.B. Golf counter-balancing, I got all that done in Nor-California at a place called The Golf Lab in Palo Alto (www.calgolftech.com) . Leith and Bob really know what they're doing and are full of great knowledge. Not to mention that they are some pretty good sticks too. Anyway, thanks again everyone! :cool:

Hey all you TSGers, I have been on this site for over a year now. I am just getting to write my first post. I have been all over the internet and have confidently concluded that this is the PREMIER site for all golf hos. The reason I have been hesitant to post is simply "club envy". All you guys have these crazy sets and it's taken me a while to catch up. Now that I'm broke...thanks to you all...I had time to sit down and take some pics...let me know what you think. http://www.hockeyhosts.com/diego/ Cheers, D

The launch of the Nakashima is very boring...takes off at a medium height and flattens out. Truly wind piecing...and just a ton of roll. The Lajolla was a little higher, seemed to be a little risky in the wind. It had the tendency to be a little "feathery". Hope this helps. -D

Thanks JerryMB. I have tried the LaJolla, with an Aldila NV 75 S. I must say I was pretty impressed. Its got a great shape, set-up well, and has a fairly large "Sweet Spot". To tell you the truth, it reminds me a lot of the 975J. The only thing I didn't like about it was the trajectory. Now obviosly a different shaft would have remedeed this problem, but I guess I just wasn't THAT impressed to try out new combos. Diego

Good morning from California. This is my first post here on TSG. First let me take a moment to thank all of you on a great community. This is truly the premier site for anybody addicted to this game. I have been on this site for the past 2 months and only until now do I feel the courage to post on a board full of such brilliant and articulate golf hos. So thank you all...now on with my review. I am very fortunate enough to be great freinds with a local club-fitter...the only one in Nor-Cal who is SST certified. Anyhoot, he gives me all sorts of drivers and shafts to try on a nightly basis. I have tried them all, SMT, KZG, Kasco, Titliest, TM, etc...in every excotic shaft imaginable. There are ones that impress, ones that I hit thrice and and forget, and then ones like the Nakashima NP1 that I hit once and imediately fall in love with. This driver is truly amazing. It has a an electric face that just launches the ball in orbit. I have an Accuflec Icon Tour Prototype that specs to about 8.0 which you can imagine is a little on the stiff side but my god...is this driver the cream of the crop. What I love most about the Nakashima apart from the sexxy looks of 380cc head, is the amazing distance and accuracy on mis-hits. I have about a 118 ss with this and I was still launching the ball 270 off the toe....truly remarkable. The driver just sets up so nice at address that for me inspires the utmost confidence. It is also fairly easy to control and shape shots. Thought it is a little harder for me to turn it over than my 975J, I think that's due to the 8.0 shaft. But if i really focus on releasing my hands and driving with my right side, I can produce that pretty draw. Anyway, I hope I passed the test of my first post, PM me if you have any questions. Again, thank you all for making this such an awesome community. Cheers, Diego
