lightrider Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 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. The RX-1...now there's a good club. I often think of picking one of these up again. Hope I am not stepping on any toe's here dd . But there is one on eBay right now . :whistle: Unfortunately, It 's the Type 275, non-conforming model. The 315 is the pear shaped killer.

The 8* (which I've never seen) and the 10* are non-conforming, along with any of the Type 275. Also, guys--If you really want to experience persimon-like feel in a steel head driver try out the X500. It is sweeeet; you'll lose a little distance with it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KascoPro Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 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. Did a search from another site and a couple years ago DemolitionMan listed a 10* for sale. So I think there might be hope... That driver was a dud it went nowhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeAndMyMonza Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 I have a friend who was just hired as a Tour Rep for Tourstage and he was kind enough to get me a J340 9.5° head and a prototype X-Drive 365 9.2° head. I'm probably gonna keep the X-Drive, but I could be persuaded :whistle: relinquish the J340. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know where a couple may be hiding... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know where a couple may be hiding... The RX-1 doesn't feel quite as good, a tad more metalic feeling--not bad at all, just not as good as the J340. It's shape isn't quite as refined either...again, it's sweet looking but doesn't have the J's overall beauty. But on the other hand, I found the RX-1 longer and very, very solid. BTW: the RX-1 was a prototype for the X-Drive(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
