siteseer2 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Great looking head. Can you custom order face angle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breal Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Very nice I like the shape and the looks. But Chris can you tell us why do they put score lines on all there drivers in Japan and the USA clubs have smooth spots on there's. I would think the score lines would cause to much spin..

I wonder why that is so too ? The new TM Burner driver also comes in an edition with scorelines across the entire face. That will generate spin on the ball when you hit the center of the clubface, so basically a driver with scorelines in the center of the clubface is a big nono for people who wants less spin of their driver but great for people who want more spin with their driver.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted February 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Hold on guys, what most of you know about spin is based off of OEM adverts and technology garble. Spin is not a bad thing it is neccesary for certain types of hitters and swings. A year or so ago it was high launch low spin was all the rage, well if you look at the numbers they didnt perform as good as the drivers with a bit more spin. Less spin was creating a little less distance. So in 2006 they started doing things to add spin to the club and back off that low spin trend every OEM was gunning for. Now they are making high launch with high kick shafts and ultra high MOI heads that are very difficult to work the ball the way you want. Pro's are requesting less MOI than these square drivers for a reason, japan is creating lower MOI versions of these clubs for this very same reason. So yes the score lines on the face are to increase spin on a low spin design head. It takes just the right balance of spin rates to get optimal distance.

Duffer19 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Chris: Would you know the standard face angle of the say 10.5 degree WR? It looks square to perhaps 0.5* close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you Chris; it is a very gentle balance between the two. To exploite spin to much will end as my tour issue 425TP (10* actual)/Romax combo did with way to low spin. I recently shafted this head with a Fuji 660tr which is lively and tends to launch much higher and presto, it's works again. Just as the square drivers are straight as a board but at the expense of distance loss... Edited February 4, 2007 by BigBen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gocchin Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 If I'm not mistaken, the WR line has a progressively closed face as the lofts increase. I will have to double check but I swear I saw it was something like: 9.5* square to 0.5* closed 10.5* 0.5-1.0* closed 11.5* 1.0-1.5* closed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe295 Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I don't have the swing to generate a lot of spin so this kind of thing helps me a lot. If I hit a low spin ball like the V1x I hit nothing but knuckle balls, which while extremely amusing in flight, especially in wind, are not so good for distance. Give me a driver with score lines, some loft, a ball like the B330s, and the right shaft and I become someone with playable distance. I like the looks of this head proportionally from the width to height standpoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
