vmhuang Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Yup.. that looks like the 05 Xdrive to me. Wonder if its the 405 or the smaller one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Its the 405, he started using it at the bridgestone open 2 months ago in japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmhuang Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Hmm... Bridgestone J33 or Tourstage 405? Choices, choices... what should I play this season? They both look great, the J33 seems to have a more metallic sound that Tourstage drivers of old. Wonder if the 405 will have the same muted sound or follow the J33. Can't wait for the new drivers to become available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 The J33 Driver and Tourstage 2005 X-Drive are very different. They differ in size, feel ( turbo rubber ), shaft options, and most importantly the material is different. The J33 is a cost effective version of the X-Drive minus all the fancy's Maru is using the M65 shaft currently in his Driver and M266V reverse weight flow NSpro's..

shabuwu801 Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 this might sound stupid, but reverse weight flow of NS shafts???? heavier on the long irons?? what does it mean?? any advantages??:-D Thanks in advance~ :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelt Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Chris, I was looking at the x-drive 405 today and spoke with the rep from Tourstage. There may have been some communication issues ie. English/Japanese, however according to the rep the 405 is face neutral but has fade internal weighting. Do you know if this is correct?
