bruinduke Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Given lohrm1's post and replies just wondering if there was an untapped source of J340 heads out there? My count there's about 20+ known heads that I've seen circulating the forums. If someone is hoarding any heads..c'mon share the wealth....

JohnnyTN Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 I've had 3 at one time... only have 1 now.. been in a tourstage truck while back and they had atleast 10 in the van. They told me there were plenty more where that came from. I went to a demoday and they were kinda shocked that I showed up with a j340, so I got special treatment. :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Care to venture a guess how many heads in existence today? Been through many challengers, but the J340 is always the last Big Break contestant in the the bag.

Maybe not the longest or most forgiving..but the feel is unmistakable. GO member I think his name is USGAbound or something close to that had 2 for sale...

bruinduke Posted October 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 I don't have the driver up in the BST section (nor plan one in the future) so I am comfortable hyping the driver, but I agree with JohnnyTN the J340 is the best feeling and sounding driver I've hit as well. I haven't played long enough to know what persimmon felt like, but to date this is the only driver that I've hit that doesn't feel hollow. Gives the impression that it's a solid block of metal. I think it hits plenty far enough also. Definitely deserves the reputation offered by J340 proponents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's okay keep it that way since after you slap that Zcom or 671 in there I am keeping my fingers crossed that your ever faithful TP beckons you and you keep me on your short PM list!

Found a Zcom TW74 that's on it's way. You're first on my list if I don't like the club, but with winter approaching and a bad shoulder that's keeping me off the range, it may be awhile before I try the club. I'm not sure what's worse, looking for a J340 or having a brand new one sitting here and not being able to hit it. :wah: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mm48 Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Duke, I HAVE been around long enough...played persimmon from the early 60's to the late 80's and the J340 is as close to that feel as you can possibly have in a metal driver. I still have a Cleveland Bryon Nelson Persimmon driver and 3 wood. What the J340 does offer as a compensation for the slight lack of feel is about 30 more yards...more forgiveness and is almost as workable! Just got my J340 about 6 weeks ago and it is by far the best driver I've ever hit or played. Last week with a slight helping breeze, I drove a 320 yard par 4. I feel like I'm your age again!

JohnnyTN Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 I still play persimmon from time to time as well.. (Cleveland Classic 10th Anniversary) for me.. driver and 3w... The J340 is #1 by far in terms of feel. Someday I will likely replace it, but not for that reason. But I've had it in the bag for 2+ years now...and bought just about everything under the sun to replace it and it's still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadriver Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 ...and let me add that it is ALSO one of the most beautiful clubs I've ever seen. :love: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruinduke Posted October 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Okay by my count that's: mine lohrm1 skink johnnytn mm48 da leftrev i think wick had one. I know of another head. Less than 10. So those 10 in the van that JohnnyTN saw are still unaccounted for not to mention the more where those came from. I guess the J340 has all a ho wants...looks, feel, sound, rarity, and mystique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br61 Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 There's a brand new J340 for sale right now. Someone grab it before I do. I don't need any more drivers!!! :-D :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyHawk Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 I have one "laying around" if someone is interested. It is 8 out of 10 with a 661 Fuji in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashryan8888 Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 It looks like the highest loft is 9.5*. Do they play true to loft? I wanted to buy one so many times, but didn't think 9.5* was enough loft for me. I normally play 10.5* in a driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightrider Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 I picked one up awhile back. I think its close to 10*. It seems to hit a little lower than stated loft. For awhile, the only ones that were floating around were 8.5*. I was able to get one of those up fairly well though. There is probably more like a couple hundred available. Like the RX-1.
