+TourSpecGolfer Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Coming Mid January the new ViQ series driver, irons, fairway woods, utilitys, and putters! The new ViQ U.S.G.A conforming driver won the G-Award for best new design. Lefty Love! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2h2 Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 That'd look good in 9.5* with a Tour AD I-65 Type II x-flex in it :tsg_smilie_whistle: Maybe a 22* hybrid with a Tour AD UT-95 as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plus1 Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Im totally stunned by how cool this new gear looks. the driver with a gd pt-6 for me or else an m55! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmelton697 Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Chris, in an earlier post you mentioned that the new VIQ driver was for the better player. Is the entire series geared towards the better player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip Alexander Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 :tsg_smilie_cool: The new VIQ driver has all the modern technology, including the space age sole, however the most impressive aspect for me in the traditional shape, looking down at the crown at address. In my view the shape of the club inspires confidence. A real winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Are the new ViQ irons forged? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Are the new ViQ irons forged? They just look too futuristic to be forged IMO. I bet they come with titanium face with High C.O.R. I love the look of the hybrid though :wub: . Bat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plus1 Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 from address this looks very similar to the current viq 450, however from the sole it is was more funky! also it looks the technology in this model is alot more advanced!l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip Alexander Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 :tsg_smilie_cool: Thanks Chris. The shape of the crown at address is very, very good. Someting for everyone with this. Spaceage sole and an imaculate traditional crown. A real winner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poekie Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Is this the same driver as Ai Miyazato used last week winning the lpga qualification? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted December 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 I stand corrected. This newer version is 20cc smaller for a total of 430. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance99 Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 WOW!!! Great lookin pics of some great new stuff, as always from Chris. I think I might have to adjust my budget for this new year. :tsg_smilie_money3: The view of the driver from the top looks clean and sleek, my personal preference. I also dig on the "V" formed on the face from the lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorkman53 Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 (edited) Chris, do I understand correctly from other threads that the VIQ is aimed more at the mid-index player and the X Drive 435 is directed to the lower index player, due to center of gravity configuration and overall forgiveness and trajectory issues? The VIQ looks like it probably has a lower center of gravity than the 435 X Drive. Edited December 30, 2005 by dorkman53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The VIQ looks like it probably has a lower center of gravity than the 435 X Drive. Your on the money Dorkman, The X-Drive is a tour players club off the rack, everything from true stated lofts, to its sweet square face. They launch lower than 99% of the drivers on the market and have less spin as well. Not something I would suggest for a mid capper at all. The new ViQ on the other hand does indeed have that lower center of gravity, its actually got more technology built into it and is probably a lot easier to hit. IMO the shaft option is what tweaks it to the good player or average. If you select the stock shaft it would be a great club for a mid capper yet if you slap in a Stiff Graphite Design PT-7 you got yourself a very easy to hit players club.

Lance99 Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Is the face square on that driver? I am definitely interested, and eagerly await Chris' review. Great pics of the cut aways and cross-sections. :tsg_smilie_money3: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
