These look fantastic. Mine have a permanent place in the rotation. GLWS!!!!

No worries at all! Plenty of gear here already to keep me busy anyways ;)

Yeah, going to throw a 7D Standard it in and see if it sings! You get to try it out as well :)

Whooooooo! Yay to me! :) 7D waiting for that beauty ;)

Wow! How does the shaft play!!!!?!?!?! Such an awesome combo!

SOLD!

Purchased here and its not finding a spot in the bag, might as well go to a great home rather than collect dust. Great profile CBs. Hit once at the range and shafted, pulled and the heads are ready to go to someone else. Priced to sell: $OLD net + shipping - heads only.

Bridgestone makes some great gear. I almost pulled the trigger on their J715 driver, it was that good (feel, performance, forgiveness). I was unsure if that was made by Endo, if not, this is absolutely a step-up. Love the custom finishes too.

Lovely! I really like the look and those shafts are awesome! Any chance to get the System3 shafts by themselves ;)?

So, my swing speed is probably no where yours as I play a stiff in the 125s and previously in the 120s. My take is that the 120s are high launching but also somewhat high spin. They felt great but a little looser to flex (probably from the soft mid section) and dispersion was not the absolute greatest. I have 125s in my P2s and they are fantastic (and I wouldn't recommend tipping them - at least at first). They feel tighter (due to the more stiff tip and slightly stiffer mid section), have a slightly lower ball flight but with lower spin (maybe mid/low)? They are heavier but I am not sure if they are counterbalanced a little or not as they don't feel that much heavier at all. In general, great shaft, tighter dispersion, tad lower ballflight with less spin and a tighter feel. I would probably not tip unless you hit and feel you absolutely need to as the tip is definitely more stiff (based on my feel) than the 120s.

If interested, I have a set (new) of NS 999gh and will have a one-time pull of 950ghs soon if interested in either (4-PW, stiff, standard length on the pull - 5i@38).

Wow, what a price! Steal here folks for a long and beautiful head!!!!

Ditto, I will try one out :)

Wonderful feedback! I recently hit the AD-MJ in a driver and the shaft was stable, great trajectory and lower spin. Awesome shaft, highly recommend. Good to know it also performs in a fairway.

I actually hit this driver today through the US Bridgestone Test Drive program (they ship you a club, you ship it back for pretty much just postage price - pretty cool program and wanted to see how it felt). It was the B3 model (the only US one I believe) with a MJ-6s shaft. I have to say, the shaft was pretty freaking good (ugly but good) and the head felt great and got out there. It absolutely is a players driver in a 460cc shape and still has the adjustability/tech bells & whistles for a less clean look. The face profile is a little annoying at address but it makes up for that with somewhat alignment with the ball-size open area in the grooves. tl;dr: a performer that is probably one, if not, the best feeling USDM driver and the MJ-6 is a pretty freaking great shaft... (I tried the AD-DI 6s as well and that shaft and I never have, nor still don't, get along).

Awesome, can't wait to hear feedback on how it plays!

Anyone gaming these day in and out? Would love to hear more about distance & trajectory. Thinking about a 4W for a backup bag with either the Crazy Regensis or TRPX Red Hot FW...

Are these out yet and any early feedback?

Steffen, there are a handful of us within shouting distance of Santa Cruz that could probably organize an outing and you can get to see some stellar gear :) Keep needmoregolf and I posted on if you plan a trip out here and we can figure something out (D, I am volunteering you as well ;) There are others that can probably jump on too...

Good luck with your search, I don't think you can go wrong with either! The Ryoma's profile is definitely larger than the A-Grinds. I would say both have a similar face depth and launch similar. Ryoma a tad more forgiving and potentially a little longer.

A 5W wouldn't be off after the 3W if it works. Crossing fingers but the FW80 is just so money, it will be hard to beat...

On it and will report back in about a month ;)

Are you saying you have some nice copper 302s laying around ;)?

For that distance, you will need something that you are comfortable off the tee (for those long par 3s), off tight lies into pins, and out of the rough. Instead of something like a 5W or 7W, I would go with a hybrid and from that perspective, its all about look, sole interaction and profile (i.e. you can go from something like the Ryoma to the A-Grind - very different profiles) and shafts will also be very important depending upon what your current swing does and what you are looking for (height and left/right, etc). BTW, I have owned a 903, JBeam/Crazy, Romaro, Ryoma, Modart, A-Grind, etc, so further questions are welcomed!

Those are just mean looking. I feel like I can probably grade some cheese or shave my face with it...
