I think your on the right track. For used there are a ton of them everywhere, you never know what your gonna get. Sometimes you go to the good spots and they don't have anything worthy. Golf Partner, Golf Kids, Tsuruya, are all good used shops. Victoria golf Shinjuku is always fun.

Steve that's great feedback, I'm even more excited now to hit them than before. Will be posting my review after getting a few rounds in. The Type-R FW and UT look beautiful as well.

It's all good, I wouldn't call any of the WBQ's low, they are all mid kick even the soon to be discontinued 75g version. I just noticed the 55g version flies a bit higher than the heavier ones. Some hit it high, some hit it low. It's no biggie. All about finding the proper shaft and build for you and even after that who's to say our swings don't change enough for an adjustment in specs. With the Ryoma i had a little trouble getting softer tipped shafts to work. The boron which I absolutely love in the XV & 388 plays a bit wild in the Maxima. That said some people got better results by tipping it 1/4" and some with no tip are loving it. lets keep this thread on target please.

Since when was the WBQ especially the 55 version a low/low shaft? Mid kick, mid - mid/high trajectory and low spin. Of all the WBQ models this one flies the highest.

We are keeping all warranty cards on file for our customers. This is better so you don't have to worry about losing it.

How about the 200 dollar Black Ops Shaft that has Japanese 4000T carbon..lol Only 219.00!

One of the biggest issues with 80T is how the shaft feels. Brands work around this by design but I'm curious how they make 125T feel good. Also is it full length 125t?

Yup just bore it out, don't mess with the shaft tip imo. I have a set of Srixon blades being shafted up with MCI 120g Stiff also the Srix players CB in MCI 100 Stiff.

The face angle is prob square but the face and bulge makes it appear closed. I've seen them actual open yet looking closed as well. T can chime in here about this. Not sure if it's the case with your driver.

It's a head from back in February so im not sure how or if its changed from then till now in its final release but yes it's easy to get up yet not too shallow, good distance yet not as much as the egg or Ryoma but its for sure straighter, sexier, more compact. I'd take it over the Yamaha 3 and I love that thing. I'm waiting for mine now, it's being reahafted at Crazy with the FW80. Now the XV iron, not the prettiest in fact it's down right ugly but plays like a champ! Sits in between the 503 & 702.

I would say go with the Ryoma for now and down the road rotate a used 388 or XV.

The face isn't all that deep. I'll post pics soon. If you like the Egg this one will work. Face depth is similar to the 2013 Yamaha FW. Feels awesome, distance is good, nice setup and matte finish and most importantly to me it flies straight with the FW80.

For me the Maxima is longer all day. Right now my Maxima has a DI-6, it's 9.5 Type V. The flight is not as penetrating as the 388 but pretty close to the XV for me. I've had a couple of people ask me if the Maxima launches too high, not for me it doesn't especially in 9.5V and I've tried 4 different shafts in it so far. Only 1 of them launched high and it was a Royal Deco Deep Impact. Longest drive of the season though. The XV's flight seems a bit more stable and straight which I really really like, no matter what shaft I tried with the Maxima it always had a little more movement than the SYD's. I found shafts play a bit stiffer in the SYD's compared to the Maxima, most likely due to the distance of hosel from the head. I can't choose between the 388 & XV. Size obviously 388 but shape as stew said XV. All I need is these 3 drivers in rotation. It would be hard to shed one. XV is a very solid driver, so are the new XV fairways

I love this FW.

Many TSG'ers are getting their Maxima's delivered now so it's an exciting time for everyone who had waited patiently. I was thinking about writing a blog post with my Review of the Maxima but then I thought wouldn't it be cool to compile the opinions of everyone good or bad and share whats been working, not working, or perhaps even whats missing. So please share your thoughts, questions, reviews, pics etc.. of the Ryoma Maxima in this thread to help us build a web special around it.

Released back in 09 along side the GT-S irons. It's a K.K design and still available. Nothing fancy just an all around solid wedge. I think Gocchin can chime in here as he has one in the bag.

No Srixon love? That's all about to change when you see the players CB & limited MB...

I agree, finding really good results with the DI-6's stiffer tip. Tried BB was a little much for me.

We will have them in the pro shop in a day or two. If you need one now just PM me.

We have and the same reason mentioned in the marketing blurb was given which I still don't believe, and that's what made me bench this wedge for so long.

Here is the spec sheet.

Yes the more mass on the heel should promote left but my result is different. It would be silly to make a design to combat shaft droop on a wedge dont you think?

This company Veylix was started by former staff at Matrix and is about to go public. 40T Japanese carbon from Mitsubishi or Toray. full length in most of the shafts. How is this brand any different? well their president told me that they are designing shafts with a profile that tour players would request more often yet maintaining usability for most who are not at that tour level. It's a USDM brand with 80% of it's materials coming from Japan. Thoughts?

Srizon Z 525 Forged Irons. Made by Endo of S20C just like the players CB & Limited MB this year. The 525 is their semi game improvement model and what I like about it is for the features it packs the top line and offset isn't too much. I hit these a few times on the range, very forgiving. What would I change about it? Personally I don't like undercuts, it ads forgiveness but also kills feel a bit. An undercut can still feel great just not as good as if it were one solid piece. None the less it's still a very good design with the quality we have learned to expect from Endo. Below the sole. It has a tungsten insert on the toe side. It's a wide enough sole to help you in fluffy situations yet it still has the flatter less rounded shape to keep the better player happy. The cut away heel + the tungsten weight in the toe makes me think they wanted the CG out a bit more. Nice deep cavity. cool decal. Not much offset for who it's geared toward. The top line is a little thick but not overly. Nice face shape with the usual srixon/cleveland laser milled face. Next I will post the players CB & MB.

Have you guys noticed that the decal in the back cavity is gone? We gave it a stock look thats custom by re-engraving ODYSSEY on it. I also love the open face angle of the revised specs when you get your putter back. That alone has helped me make many more short straight putts.
