I don't have a 7D in my Maxima, my favorite driver is ZY11 and second fav is Blackout both with 7Ds.

198 and 193g

Yes

I don't remember, is your putters AL feel soft and light? AL has always been a great choice for inserts and also for the putter body if it's a larger size.

388 is for sure smaller with more going on with the shape while the AG 440 I could say has the best shape for a bigger driver. Performance is very different first its much more forgiving, distance is the same, feel is very different as 388 almost feels foamed. Both reduce spin and send it straight, 388 is lower for sure in trajectory. heel to toe its got much more real estate to hit.

There are at least 3 forum members that use 7D in their 3 wood. lets hear it guys!

The two most recent Haute Fittings we lined up for clients were both told Ryoma Maxima Special Tune is the longest on the 7D. I'm tempted because I had a hard time controlling that head like I do the ZY-11 but I know for a fact 7D produces extremely straight and stable shafts that fly on the lower side so combine that with the high launch of the special tune and it could be special.

You have the normal Tataki also right? what is your opinion on difference in feel with the two finishes?

Interesting you found it spins similar to Bold & Yururi because on the trackman our spin rates were much higher also they did shred a bit more. Thanks and your right about soft, it's not easy to put milling on a face and for it to feel soft. These are sold out, we should have more in a month.

So who wants to be overwhelmed with options? http://www.sankiplanaria.co.jp/

Calling 6061 Aluminium new is funny It's been a great choice for putters for 20+ years, I wish more people would order their golds factory inserts of 6061 AL but Aluminium doesn't sound the most exotic or cool.

2-Round Review in the blog but based on the below pictures this thing needs an award for it's shape at address and it's face profile for it's size. Appearance | it's pretty much perfect and hard to find a driver this size with a better shape anywhere, this photo captures what I'm saying but in person it looks even better, The 9.5* lofts all come with a 1* open face angle standard while the 10.5* is still 0.5* open. It's matte black finish from crown to sole is smooth with none of the unnecessary dips and cavities and channels most brands try to lure you in with. In the photo below the face is also "just right" not the deepest and definitely not shallow it has a longer heel to toe length than most deep JDM drivers with confidence simply based on it's appearance at address and face on it's tops in my book.

Good news is it's nothing like their classic 350, this one is kinda similar to the Modart.

Tomorrow stay tuned for my impressions...

Yes they are the shaft design you choose plus any visual options. There is no performance gain from the color or graphics.

A few things I want to go over: 1. Sanki shafts are put into weight categories 40/50/60/70 and within each of those weight categories are 2-3 shafts. Each one differs in kick point, torque, and design but the weight remains the same. Yes you can have a low kick 70g shaft or a high kick for that matter. 2. After you select or we help you choose the proper model shaft we can customize the paint and a whole bunch of other things that can add up to lots of money. The entry point is about $700 and they go up to about 1250 depending on what finish/options you choose. 3. There are a ton of options it's almost overwhelming so TSG is creating some new ones, and narrowing down the selection so we can market this to more people who would feel overwhelmed by the selection. 4. We can actually go fully custom by request to produce the look you want. What I don't want to do here is make this about the paint, these shafts are a whole lot more than that. They truly perform, we can't really get into performance because then we have to dive into the model. For example Tae says it launches lower than his 7D, so guys don't run out and think 7D flies higher than Sanki or whatever, consider that his 7D was made a certain way for him and his Sanki model chosen goes lower. I think he got the SR63 model which is a mid kick shaft. in the 60 gram range they also offer a high kick option with different characteristics.

5FP is nearly 0 offset. you start moving toward 6 and you got yourself a small onsett already. Imo to say this is almost a clone of the R9 is pretty far off. Just about everything is different from how it's made, to it's size, design and all specs. top line and sole thickness, CG's etc. etc.. They don't share much other than they are both in the CB family or perhaps to some a visual simularity.

Double Milled is Low Bounce at 8* in both the 52/58*. Lie Angle is 63* and 63.5* Head weights are heavy at 300/304g

It depends on what model Sanki shaft we compare it against, but I will go over those next week including materials and what Sanki is willing to divulge and what they are not. In general I think AAA plays lower, straighter, with less feel because the Sanki's in all the specs feel really good. My best results came from a flex and weight I normally don't play. I did a test with about 7 of their shafts all in Kamui Pro drivers, it was a fun day. Yes Vegaman is correct it's because they are not smooth and round. Only what we are calling the Bamboo Series will have those notches making them non conforming. Sorry Tae, Sanki just told us about this because they just got confirmation from the USGA & R&A supposedly.

80 or 90T doesn't make a good shaft. My gamers are made of 60 Pan and 50T and many of my favorite shafts are 46T. Auga is a really good shaft though, thing is there are so many really good shafts we really don't need more coming out, between all the brands currently available and the new designs already released our swings are covered 10x over for shaft options to choose from.

Beautiful Clubs!

RB247 has evolved over the years with different models so it's a few more than the 50. Maybe this driver too who knows. I love Labo's limited releases outside the normal line up which is just fantastic already. One thing I don't like about some ONOFF clubs is the need for a hosel adapter on woods.

Only 2, I'll let them out themselves. No fitting system is in place yet, I will provide an update as soon the new shaft samples are being made.

Coincidentally I play the A-Grind 7 Wood also. It has the old fairway 80 la bomba in it.

Sanki Planarian Golf Shafts. We have been testing these for a very long time trying to figure out if they are worth the high price and how the options, specs, and finishes will play out on for our members. A couple of members already have these to compare with 7D shafts as they are comparable in price and these are also hand made and hand finished one by one. Good news is we are adjusting some of their designs to make a series of 3 new shafts. Here's the thing these shafts are currently Non-Conforming. From what I understand both the USGA & R&A feel adding exterior elements to the shaft can cause increased distance. Good news is we are working on conforming version with Sanki that does not have those little notches going up and down the shaft. I personally will play the Non-Conforming version. Stay Tuned and if any of the other testers want to share their feedback go ahead and do so.
