Thanks MPB L01 over the long term was a dud for me so I went back to the Matrix. It seems the exterior material and finishing affected the dispersion and feel of the shaft where as the Matrix is tighter and more stable. Right now I'm playing a Control/Distance Ginza Prototype Matrix in the ZY7 and it's very similar to the standard Matrix. If you want a redesign/remake on the 55SR L01 let me know, "I think" I can finagle that.

That is true! My +1 hcp swing coach who swings nearly 120mph could not hook my SR flex 7D shaft and pounded this thing a lot further than his own shaft. I guess buying 2nd hand is as hit and miss as buying anything else when put that way. BUT what I can say is as someone who handles the remake/redesigns and gets to hear about feedback for every shaft that TSG sells there is more than a few stories of a head change that didn't work out and a few guys who bought second hand that could not get it airborne at all. Big things coming from 7D shortly!

Havent seen this before. it JDM?. if so we can get.

Even if you delete your swing from the equation, the shaft is designed around a specific center of gravity depth and position for the intended club head it was designed for. It is also taken into consideration the final build specs, length and interestingly the grip is a huge deal. If I submit an order with no grip information the design is put on hold until I get it. This is also evident in members who email me that they purchased a second hand 7D shaft they don't ever have the same glowing review the guys who made it for their data have. Now guys who have 7D shafts that are made for their swings but changed heads have some success but still not to the level of those who do it the proper way. Let's keep in mind that 7D also allows a complete redesign/remake of the shaft within 3 months of purchase when you return the original club AND TSG covers shipping on it. This is big, also we were able to get 7D to waive the international return fee so it's now 0 instead of $200. I pushed this due to Craigs comments a while back on the issue and they agreed.

No idea who this is. If it was a problem he can reach out and get it resolved. 7D has been awesome at taking care of customers.

Seven Dreamers Shafts are made for the player + driver head specifics + final build specs. You would be changing the player + driver head specifics + final build specs. If you change any one of those things it will not work out.

Interesting comment about feel, these are actually too soft. Material is SS400, we are going to firm up the next version. What you are experiencing is likely from build/shaft/spec or contact.

Done up in BB by TSG CW In a light gray shirt i look fat, throw on a black shirt and my love handles are less noticeable. Same with this wedge In Black i consider it an improvement, hides the size very well. In Satin the name Razzle/Dazzle seems a bit more feminine yet in black & red it kinda has less of that. Enjoy the photos and get in touch if you want one of these in any finish or theme. For your reference in Satin:

Im sorry I can confirm there will be no lefty this year.

Introducing the Ryoma Maxima 2016 Driver - Here are your first in hand photos and review of what is one of the most highly anticipated drivers from a Japanese golf brand this year. Three years in the making Ryoma claims to have made a significant improvement in all around club head performance over the previous version (D1 Maxima) which was released nearly three years ago. If you have tried any of Ryoma Golf's clubs you know, they are not just another club made for the sake of a new release they often bring the player better and tangible results over most other clubs. Starting with the photo above the new 2016 Ryoma Maxima's shape has evolved into what visually looks more symmetrical and balanced, this deep face also has a decent amount of impact area on the heel and toe section for added forgiveness. So after hitting the new Maxima extensively I found it to be much straighter than the D1, somehow Ryoma has managed to keep off-center shots much straighter whereas the previous D1 was considered a bit wild on mis-hits. My personal bad shots are high and low on the face, and these types of misses were no problem when I did hit it on the heel or toe intentionally the face absorbed the harsher vibration well, and the dispersion seemed to have a lot less side spin than the previous version. By the way, I'm hitting the 6S Stiff Flex 63g Standard Ryoma Shaft by Graphite Design. As shown above, the address view is much improved the 2016 Ryoma Maxima no longer has that elongated and awkward shape it looks like a semi players driver now, it's a full 460cc's but looks to hide it's size very well. The paint on the crown and new face design makes the face look more square; I found the Type-D as seen in these photos to look totally square. One of the things many people said about the D1 Maxima was that without a stable shaft the dispersion was a bit wild especially for the aggressive swinger, I used to consider this a hosel depth issue but it was actually just a head characteristic as the D1's hosel depth was no different from most drivers on the market. Good news is with the new 2016 Ryoma Maxima is they have solved this issue and while sharing the standard stiff flex with players who usually hit X they could quickly adapt their tempo to hit some super powerful and long drives without the wayward deflection. So what we have now is not only a much better shaped and looking new Ryoma for 2016 we also have one that fits a wider range of player and keeps just about everyone in the fairway better than the previous version. Distance is the key when it comes to Ryoma clubs, their drivers, fairways, utility woods and heck even their putters are known to produce better range than other brands. The new 2016 Ryoma Maxima is indeed longer as far as I can tell comparing the D1 vs 2016 using their heaviest stock stiff graphite design shafts I was getting the same carry but much more roll like 10yds+ comparing the two the launch angles they are both similar mid/high but the difference was the 2016 Maxima had a more penetrating and less floaty ball flight. What I'm getting all around from the experience of the new driver is it's better for everyone. Spin rates seem to have noticeably lowered but are still won't produce knuckle balls; the new Maxima is very easy to hit high, straight and long. Feel is different but equal, not better or worse than before just a touch less hollow still springy yet firm and I prefer the acoustics of the new version by a bit. Hitting both the D1 vs. the 2016 Ryoma Maxima side by side Type-D 10.5 with stiff flex shafts was a good yet nonscientific way to test the evolution between the two. Ryoma is legit I have not experienced this type of all around the improvement of a club that looked so similar to it's predecessor even in name. I like that they did not give it a new name. What is also very telling is that Ryoma pulled all D1 Maxima stock from Japanese Golf Stores early and had even asked TSG to stop selling the previous conforming model. THIS people is what shows a brands integrity they are not concerned to liquidating their old stock before the new one arrives. Hope my brief review helped, I can confidently suggest this driver to a wide range of players, The Type V in Black for it's heavier head weight and square face angle with stiff stock shaft selection to the Type-G for the smoother slower swinger who want's a lighter club head & spec and finally the standard Type-D which is what I feel most average players will fit into well as it's a good all-around balance of launch, shaft specs, and head weights. TSG can also custom order you head weights; we can offer the new 2016 Maxima weight kit or custom build your Ryoma Maxima to the head weight you want and even request custom hand picked specs for the more discerning player.

SUS303

Yup you can mill the face so the top line is thinner. lots to do with a head like this.

So a factory in Taiwan really wanted to make us samples and sent some over. These guys do some pretty decent work, they make for JDM brands as well. I have a few different designs and couldn't figure out what to do with them. So I figured if anyone here want's to do some GF mods over the value of 750 bucks I will provide the blank no cost. You can get a lot done with $750 if you don't have to pay for the blank. For example: Face Milling Refinish Weights Shaft/Grip/Spec ( possibly even a Teramoto ) Email [email protected] if your serious. Here is the first head I'm offering up, very nice shape and after mods + refinish can easily look top level.

The Shinny's in Smoked Copper.

15 AAA is a great spin reducing, straight shooting and consistent results producing shaft. + 103 just nut it center and you should be a happy camper.

Higher lofted head + lower launching shaft is what I would do. I also go heavier shaft at a shorter length to really kill spin as well. But with ZY's and 7D's it's a big enough reduction in spin I don't have to go that short or heavy.

There is a new MUSO coming out, made by Fujikura instead of Triphas. They make great value shafts when you look at the cost per performance. Will add to proshop shortly.

I tossed my auditor, MOI matching has done nothing for me. Maybe it works for others but for me nothing beats the old school of proper lie/length/swing weight/grip size/loft gaps/proper shaft/head - that's all hard enough to figure out on it's own before tossing another wrench in there.

Good Shaft Cutter Good Vice Swing Weight Digi Scale CPM Machine Many ferrules Polishing compounds Paint for fill Tip Weights Safety Glasses and Face Mask Quick and Slow dry epoxy + Glass Beads Tons of ferules Split grips to dry fit etc.. etc.. good luck!

Nice pics, you clean wedges well!

Hutchy you get too wrapped up in this chill out It's a golf forum for Japanese golf clubs and that's it. More of these rants and you are on vacation, nothing personal but this adds nothing. If people want to poke let them poke, someone can report it to me and I will be the bad guy :) Sorry new forum upgrade asking support how to lock threads down from the member side with this new theme.
