LOL.. Sure... Just know I'm too coward to bet no matter how small :-)

..

I much prefer the original PZ mill too hence my curiosity on how deep it is. Possible for you to email Sasaya-San to inquire? For the SM490A which I read is slightly softer than SUS303, light mill may be a better option for those that prefer a firmer feel.

That's what James said is done. He doesn;t do it.

Thanks C. I borrowed a used 18* UT from my friends shop to try out. If it ok and cheap enough, I'll risk bending it 1* strong :-)

Anyone know the depth of the cavities in between each line for the horizontal original PZ face mill? And what is the depth of the aggressive deep new gen PZ face mill. Just curious as the difference in feel and softness is a lot. Thanks.

Thanks duff. The UTs any good?

..

Anyone heard or tried? Shafts and heads are supposed to be all Japan made.

:-) yes M. In a month's time, we'll have these 2 for a good side by side comparo. Should probably hit to the course a tad earlier before tee-off. I hope logistics won;t prevent it.

LOL! I actually still would not mind keeping this setup. Nothing wrong at all with it ... I just don;t like to many of any club at any one time...

T, Still extremely early days but the fit to my swing seems good. Thanks for the recommendation on setup.

Loaded it separately from my iPhone.

Selling my JBeam 435 true 10* loft head and original H/C only. Pictures tell all. If you need to know more about the this legendary distance head, just run a search at the JDM section. Will include a spare 2 gram weight as well. $OLD shipped via normal post with tracking and paypaled. Insurance extra. Thanks for looking

Nope... that's not what he said.

Oh... S-013 is also very plug and play.. no funny tweaks to tee height, using level blow or whatever ... :-) Just tee and let fly! What a driver is supposed to be.

First Range session with the S-013 10* Messenger 1st today so bear in mind this is a VERY LIMITED INITIAL review. Range condition : 1. Rained yesterday which coupled with unmowed cow grass is not good. 2. Range has an uphil gradient towards the end. 3. Tops out at 226 meters or approx. 247 yards (will comfirm this with a range finder again). After that its anyone's guess what the distance is as trees after that and you can;t see past that. 4. Weather today was ideal for testing although range wasn't. Cool enough by local standards and hardly any wind. Brought my Ryoma Maxima Type D 10.5 with FEX WBQ 55 and my Jbeam 435 Crazy TJ46 to hit side by side. Hitting order was always Maxima first, S-013 and then 435. Warmed up with about 25 range rocks hitting wedge and then 6I. Then hit the 3 drivers with range rocks. Took out a total of 15 test balls. Again hitting order as above and one ball each round robin. TaylorMade Penta TP (3) - Maxima slight draw 215m or approx 235 yards - XXX straight and rolled PAST 226m or 247 yards and more - 435 Slight push hit the top of the tree (yes, dont't ask me why they out a tree in the middle of the range but its been there forever. This would still have been a fairway drive. Estimate 226m or 247 yards. Srixon Q-Star (3) - Maxima gentle 2m fade 220m or approx 240 yards - XXX straight and rolled PAST 226m or 247 yards and more - 435 gentle fade just slightly past Maxima and just rolled PAST 226m or approx 247 yards or more. Nike 20iX-X (3) - Maxima straight and rolled PAST 226m or 247 yards and more - XXX straight and rolled PAST 226m or 247 yards and more - 435 bad hit. DuckLING hook 215m or approx. 235 yards Cally Tour i(s) (3) - All less than good drives - Maxima push fade 215m or approx 235 yards - XXX thinned it..... rolled PAST 226m or 247 yards and more - 435 fade 220m or approx. 240 yards Bridgestone variety (3) - Maxima with 2013 B330RX straight 220m or approx. 240 yards - XXX with 2013 B-330S toed it with a slight draw 210m or approx. 230 yards - 435 with a 2012 B330RXS push fade 215 m or approx. 235 yards Again very limited test and for fairway drives on an acutual course, I typically get 5 to 10 meters more than on the range... and sometimes less LOL. Head shape of the S-013 seems roundest at address. Feel..... its the closest Epon Technity 460 feeling driver from a non Epon Technity 460 driver. That describes a lot I think. Too early to say about forgiveness as really, hit only 1 toe shot today with the XXX and distance loss was not overly punishing and it would still have been a fairway drive. However as an indication, I hit a several bad shots with the 435 today. Will know better on forgiveness over the course of the next coupe of range sessions where I have more actual playing balls to test with and some used Prov1 and ProV1xs that I'll save for the last range test session. I'm doing this to equalize my swing over a few sessions. Will also hope to get at least 2-3 rounds in by then. Sound? 435 is... well 435 :-) The long distance beast that sounds bad :-).. S-013 is defnitely not tinggy. I go back to what the Epon Technity 460 and AF 101 sound like as a comparison to the S-013. That is a good thing. Launch.... Maxima 10.5* highest of the 3 (but not high. Let's take out the absolute extremes here) and slighty highER than the 10* S-013 and 10* 435. Roll...I don't want to say this as its a real honeymoon comment but S-013 out runs all. Messenger shaft feels as smooth as the WBQ and seems very stable. Let's see if this continues to be the case over the testing sessions. Flex wise, all seem to feel the same. Will update after the next few range sessions and rounds.

Thanks Chris. A lucky pick up .. am talking to Tario about customization options so we'll see how that goes and if I can afford a full GF make over :-)

Cool T. Sent you several emails with lots of pics.

Lol jeff. On the way in to me as we speak and just bought on blind faith hoping that its a private stock. Now I will be able to see what all the talk is about.

Cool! Thanks. It's SUS 303?

Anyone know? I know its not Private stock #1 and Private stock #2 seem to be finished in black. Is this the new Anser 2? Is this SUS 303? Any idea on head weight, loft etc? Thanks in advance.

Not sure C. Taking a guess :-)

Aren't those called the arc reactors? I think they are weightless or close to it and for aesthetics?

Thanks for the fast turn around T!
