Callaway Fusion FT3
Different companies have done different things, PRGR ( pro gear ) has different stiffness carbon crowns it actually expands at impact and compresses helping the ball jump off the face without increasing the C.O.R rating on the face. The FT or Hot series is different the majority of the clubs head is carbon and the more carbon the more....weird at impact it will feel. Do not think that all carbon drivers feel like the FT-3 most of the brands only cap the crown keeping it mostly titanium. The majority of the OEMS use it to bring the center of gravity lower by making the top area lighter, kinda like the new AMG Mercedes with its Carbon Top saving it 200lbs on the roof thus making it more stable and areo dynamic. Taylormade had the XR05 Cti 460cc carbon crown in Japan, that was a hollow thumping club w/closed face. I think carbon crowns work best in the Utility woods! Who remembers that ol plastic Yonex driver, not bad for its time...lol :wink:

Taylormade R7-XR Japan Only
Guys it seems Taylormade is max'd out with its inverted cone technology, The entire R7/R5 series all has pretty much the same feel and distance. Its all about the different sizes and shapes now. IMO it doesn't get much better than just the plain ol R7. Of course the SP700 Face Japanese TM drivers use are slightly longer due to C.O.R. This R7-XR is pretty much the R5TP with a longer heel to toe and the weighting closer to the face than rear, very forgiving indeed, more than the R5TP coming out IMO. I have tried the XR with the Fuji 553, Fuji Tour spec Rombax, Mamiya Axiv 6060M and the UST Proto in Stiff. 1st place Longest and tightest: Axiv 6060M. 2nd place Straight but a tad short: Tourspec rombax. 3rd place Easy to hit just no improvement over stock distances or dispersion: Fuji 553. 4th Proto was too stout and felt like a stick even untipped in Stiff flex.

New! Gauge Japan Eldik ACE - The most refined Eldik ever!
250.oo shipped sir To each is own, this is what I would call similar to the 2-ball while the Eldik M is similar to the Futura or Phantom Futura. Not that big really about the same size as the 2-ball, Its the camera on magnify that makes it look large.

Delivery Time on Custom Mizunos?
4-6 weeks sir!

Iomic X-Grips w/Pics!
Some people say Ion works others say its a gimmick, I'm not injured so I really cant say but I do know Iomic grips have the most concentrated Ion content of any brand. I'm playing the Red/black ones on my NC-1's and they are more grippy than a tour velvet and lamkin crossline. Pink is the color of my putter grip :whistle: I really like the orange color also.

Callaway Fusion FT3
It does have a very penetrating trajectory and the sound takes some time to get used to but its what I would expect of a driver with so much Carbon built into it. Its a dull hollowish thwack sound almost feels empty in a good way :confused: :confused: Now days people are opening up to the idea of bigger drivers with Carbon technology. :cool: These V weights are changeable for tour players also, I guess they get add weight for the players to get them to the desired head weight...

scratch 2005 cb's
I think he is talking about re-sale value being so low, most people who buy $1250.00 sets of irons sell them for at least $900+. good clubs though.

When does Japan switch its Drivers back to .83 C.O.R?
There is probably a cap on the max size for a 3 wood and besides golf is all about integrity.
-
When does Japan switch its Drivers back to .83 C.O.R?
Only Drivers can be non-conforming, The Fairway woods and Hybrids don't have a C.O.R rating and are 100% legal anywhere.

LOL your kidding right? :confused:

When does Japan switch its Drivers back to .83 C.O.R?
I'm not to sure, but I always thought that the R&A was testing it on the Japan Tour and Euro Tours. It was always the plan to come back to normal C.O.R on a specified date. Recently Japan has been calling it S.L.E Spring Like Effect and putting stickers on most new model drivers saying the C.O.R will end on a particular date. Most JDM OEMS will stop making high C.O.R drivers in 2006

J340 (The "Holy Grail")...What happened???
300 Tour is solid, its great for sure but it comes down to how you would use the term holy grail i guess. Same with the J340, I agree its awesome no doubt.

New! Gauge Japan Eldik ACE - The most refined Eldik ever!
The new 2005 Eldik Ace has just been released, It is the most refined version of the eldik ever. It features a plumbers neck and a hollowish body and overall performs very much like the 2-ball yet with a more satisfying feel and optimal alignment.

J340 (The "Holy Grail")...What happened???
No way... I had six J340s, at a time when finding even one was a solar-eclipse rarity... the X-500 was night and day different, and the J340 was superior in every way-- looks, feel, foregiveness, and performance... the X-500 was okay but never in the same league as the j340... My opinion differs, the X-500 was not a night and day difference, same material, overall same classic pear shape tourstage is known for and same feel, just in a different size and other subtle differences but not many at all. Owning 6 of anything and having a hard time finding them doesn't make any club a holy grail or the greatest. I assume if you ask Tiger the X500 is better than the J340 thats why he requested his first original JDI driver based off of it. X-500 is a proven classic used by tens of thousands back in the day and even dozens on tour while the J340 had much less play even in its best moment. It honestly got most of its play in the forums :rolleyes: The J340 has had a lot of unnecessary hype as did the 300 Tour on Internet forums. Its just the majority of the forum members don't have the chance to hit much of it so they go based off of what everyone is saying on the web. If a few top posters say its the holy grail chances are hundreds to thousands will follow. IMO There is no Holy Grail.
