Nice new drivers. With the $ in the :poop: I'm afraid to ask how much these will cost...

I've just about given up on any driver from Japan really working for me. It has been futile so far and I've tried many. When you do find one that you like, it's not conforming in the higher lofts. :yuk: I'm very happy with the Cleveland's for now.

They're available in 8.5* and 9.5* conforming. Perhaps Bridgestone will be kind enough to release the same driver under the Precept label at US retail prices :laugh:

I went on the homepage...sweet technical info, 'cept it is in a dialect unknown to me. What would be nice is to see those 3 pages translated into english. Also, Tour AD 65 is a shaft option :cool: ...most likley the three best shaft options by any OEM IMO.

God Bless

To specify, it's the M65 and not I65. If Chris or Joe could be so kind as to denote the differences between the 2? Site states that Maruyama plays the M65.

Thanks for doing the legwork D. GD site doesn't even have the M75 or M65 listed. I'd like to know more too - getting tired of playing fujis.

Having played the common Fujis, some Mitsus, and the GD W70 and I65, I'd have to say the GDs are superior in performance and feel for my game. I can even state that the US GD YS8.1SX I played a while back was an excellent shaft. Over the next 6 months, I'd be considering the 2005 X-Drive, Srixon W404 or the Titleist 905T and regardless of which head, you can rest assured it will have a GD shaft in it.

Would like to know whether the M75 and M65 are simply different weighted version of the M85.

Is there a conforming model?, also what is the difference between this, and the x-drive type 365?

these puppies are coming out in mid-Jan 05 in Japan. I was in Victoria Golf today (yes I know they're expensive).

The x-blade CBs also felt so damn nice. I'd like to get some with NS950s.

They have everthing in Japan. I don't know how people can use American stuff after playing with Japanese equipment.

Good looking club, I really want to see it, and try it.

where is victoria golf?? Thanks

Victoria Golf-Shinjuku right next to the station by Takashimaya Times Sq. You will GO BANANAS in that store. I think it was 10 FLOORS of golf (very vertical store). There's also one on Yasukuni Dori in the well known sporting goods district.

Look there but buy in the Ameyoko area. There are a handful of retailers there that are cheaper if you are buying new.

If you're ok with buying top of the line used, you'll go bananas again at Golf Paradise, Golf Kids, etc.

Its right out side the north exit of Shinjuku Train Station JR & Odakyu lines.

Its a great store, make sure to check out the taylormade stores in Ginza and Tokyo, Golf 5 is an awesome store also.
