Haha! I am full-time professional photographer and I really don't know what to think after watching that video. The shoot is being shot with a Hasselblad medium format camera with digital back which is fine, pretty much the standard in commercial photography. But where was the product...not even one millisecond??!!! That's marketing for you right there, lol. Shoot whatever makes the art director/client happy right? I'm not complaining though.

Hi, i'm interested in the head. Sent you a PM. Thanks.

I just received an Egg 7 (head only) today from an auction that I won. After opening the box the first thing I noticed was that HUGE hosel diameter! Talk about Wilson Fat Shaft!!! I figured that either a sleeve or special ferrule is needed. Actually, I was half-way through posting a new topic on this when I saw this post. Please, if anyone is able to confirm if there is a special sleeve or ferrule needed or alternatives, and where to purchase it would be greatly appreciated. Also, I noticed that centered inside the hosel was a metal shaft that comes a little less than halfway up the hosel. It looks like it could either be a guide that slides inside the shaft when installing or it could be a tip weight that is still stuck in the head after the last shaft was pulled. Can anyone confirm this?

Hello TSGers! After a few weeks of contemplating I pulled the trigger and have just picked up my first JDM club, a second hand Ryoma Maxima Type-V 9.5* with a GD AD DI-7s @ 45" D2. The club is coming from Japan and I am expecting to receive it in a week or two. I am really excited to hit it has so many great reviews on the forum regarding it's distance and forgiveness. I am anxious to see how it will compare against my two current (USDM) gamers. It would be great if anyone could provide some insight on what I might expect (distance, trajectory, forgiveness) from the this Maxima V + AD DI-7s vs. my two gamers. Currently I have two drivers that I am rotating between: 1) Nike Covert 2.0 Black (set at 9.5* + open face angle) / Kuro Kage TiNi 60 S @ 45" D4.5 2) Krank Formula 5 9* / Kuro Kage TiNi 60 S @ 45" D3 My swing is around 95-97mph with a quick transition at the top. To compare the two heads more equally I put the same shaft (KK TiNi 60 S) and length in both heads. I really like the KK TiNi 60 S and feel that it has fit me very well so far. Both drivers are great and I am hitting it farther than I ever have. For me the Nike is a little longer and gives me a mid penetrating trajectory, which I prefer. It is very straight and forgiving for me and is the one I have been using the most. The Krank is also long but surprised me as it is by far the straightest and most forgiving head I have ever hit. There are times that I have hit drives off the extreme toe and heel and the ball went as long and straight as if I hit it toward the middle of the face. However, the Krank at 9* launches higher and with a less penetrating trajectory than I would like, which is why I have been using the Nike more often. Other than that, it is the straightest head I have hit. It is vey hard for me to hit a draw or fade with it as it simply likes to go straight. When I miss it is either a straight pull or block. Being that the Krank has been so forgiving and straight for me, I am interested to see how the Maxima will compare. Will it be as or more forgiving, but longer? That would be awesome. I know the AD DI-7s in the Maxima is a little heavier and maybe stiffer, but if anyone can provide any advice on how this head/shaft combo might play I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
