Can't argue with that. Some time it is just so hard to put things into a word. You are right, consistent center hit sometimes could make up more yardage than what club you're using. Yes, feel is what all about. Club fitting is tricky. With no test drive, just make thing even more so.

You mean the D or S？or both? I think 435, 435II, and TRPX are all made by J beam. What made the TRPX better than the other two? Also I don't see TRPX in the store. I think the total price will be easily over $ 1,000, right? If the overall performance is not that far off, do you think XV would be the best buy here? Thanks again T, helpful as always.

Thanks guys！I don't like the look and sound of Ryoma, even it could be the longest one. Crazy said the 435II is more for athlete type of player but do you guys know any shaft that might turn thing around.

My swing speed is 94~96 mph. I'm not sure which club head will fit me better? S-Yard XV or Crazy 435 II? Any one could give me an advice? May be matching the right shaft will be more critical than the club head itself. Thanks!

Did you try the new egg yet? I would like to hear your thought. I almost go for the Type-R tour select but here comes the new eggs. It just shakes up my mind a little bit. My thought is - If the 15* egg could go as long as 13* type-R does, why not? It's lighter, smaller, and cheaper. I hope the lighter weight won't make it less consistant. Otherwise Type-R might still be my best option.

Hi, Chris Which type-R model you are using? #3 0r 3+ tour version? I'm using Srixon 302 12.5* strong #3 in Fubuki tour S. Its' a solid club but quite demanding. Now I'm getting old and thinking about switching a new #3 can do the same job as 302 but with more ease to give my back a break. My top pick is Type-R tour model but here comes the new egg which is quite a tease. I like the deep face and small head design of PRGR. As for Romaro, I go for the storng loft and Ti club face. If new egg can deliver like type-R tour, I might reconsider. After all its' cheaper and only 15* ( should be easier than 13.5* to handle, if not sacrifice any distance). I'd like to hear your thought. After you've taste that EGG! Thanks!

So the verdict is.............? DAT 55G or DT 65 is more durable and stronger?

Looks like I have to skip this one. What a waste for such a beautiful design. BTW, do you know what is the CT for S-Yard XV? Also what is the different between DAT 55G and DT 65 Ti.?

"Racing stripe", hahaha, I know what you are talking about. It is a disaster but I thought that is only for S-360 not the GT-3000. Does it look "pertite" as XV from top? If I purchase the head along, how much it would be? They claims the club has the highest CT and COR. How do those affect our game? Does it really help or just another "CLAIM TO BE"!

Beatifully designed, clean as a whistle. There is really nothing like it on the market. I've heard it is easy to hit with great distance. Well maybe not like Royoma's length but is long. I'd like to learn more about this club. Anyone can help? Here is the link to see the pictures of this club: http://blog.sina.com.cn/yudan1968

I thought you said ~ "LIGHTEST" !? then you can cross the PNOEZ out. Sometimes there's some policy involved for carrying items for both ends,so......! I go for what Ant said: " feel and performance" and which is very personal. Some 4.4 might just fit your game as well as a 2.8 do. Just look at the spec. of the T.388 and XV's stock shafts you'll know what I'm talking about.

By the way D, another good thing about PNOEZ is their product line which is simple and very straight forward. As far as I know, the top of line is Tour model Boron ( might close to $ 900, or even more) and then the US-1 that I mentioned. Also the previous model PX-1 5001/6001/7001/8001 and newer PX-1 4501/5501/6501/7501. Px-1 series are at much more moderate price range but still in light weight plus the Loooooooow torque. I'm still waiting for more reviews about their shafts

Since you're looking for light weight, low spin, low torque and high modulus carbon fiber golf shaft, I'm surprised you did not put PNOEZ on your list. The US-1 Tour V65 model for example, weight 66g, flex R, at 2.5 torque. Yes it's 2.5! Amazing right? For other Brand name, it has to be over 70g or even 80g or in X or XX flex to reach this figure. A club fitter told me that Pnoez's 50t performs like other's 70t. That is how good it is. Bad news is - PNOEZ is very hard to find item and the production is quite limited. You can find some PX-1 series which are very old models over the internet but not for US-1 or other more high end models. Maybe you can ask TSG whether they are able to get one for you.

http://www.pnoez.com/ But they are not really updating the website. The only product line you will find is PX-1 but that came out 5-6 years ago. The latest model ( not very sure) should be us-1 tour. If you can find some one translate Chinese for you, check this out - http://peargolf.com/article/jbeam-bm-435hi-11dugaofanfapnoez-us-1-tour-v65-rmuganceshipnoezganshenpinpaijieshaopian There are five articles about the combo of Jbeam BM 435 Hi and PNOEZ US-1 tour.

You might wanna have a look at Pnoez US-1, if you can find one, it is not even on Pnoez website!! Good luck!

Talking about new driver shaft, does anyone know about PNOEZ US-1 Tour? Here is the only info I could get from ( but sorry it is a Chinese website) - http://peargolf.com/article/jbeam-bm-435hi-11dugaofanfapnoez-us-1-tour-v65-rmuganceshipnoezganshenpinpaijieshaopian You might find some "Antique" PX-1 out there but definitely not this model. I wander TSG might have a chance to carry this. I've heard Pnoez is more focusing on working with tour player so the production line is quite limited. According to peargolf, US-1 tour has a explosive carry and roll. Sounds like a pretty good match with T.388 and XV. Most of all, at only 2.5 torgue, it is very easy to maneuver and you won't feel stiff at all. In short, it's long, consistant, user friendly and I guess, expensive too!!

I think Type-T will be much more friendly, even with 12.5* loft.

I'm looking forward to see the result. Thanks, Pal!

I read this " FULL BORON VS 80T" posted long time ago at the forum. You guys can have a look. I'm just wondering anything have changed after these years.

How about Godis 502？Has anyone heard of this？

Don't screw it! Analyze the differences and how does it work.

There're different kinds of titanium to make the club face. Anyone know how did each one of them do to our games? e.g. Alpha-Beta Ti, Beta SP700, DAT 55G，DT65.......! Can somebody analyze this for me? Thanks!

Who knows the thickness of these two? Romaro 460HX is 3.2 mm at centre and Craft 611 is 3.4mm ( or maybe 3.6 mm). Would like to know which will be easier to maneuver without 100+ mph swing speed.

Compare to DT 65, which has the upper hand? or just a matter of feels?

Yes, there are lots of marketing tricks out there. Thanks all staffs of TSG and guys in this forum for helping to straighten things out.
