I live beside a golf couse and I found this Driver his morning in the ditch behind my yard. It looks a lot like my 983K and has a shaft by C.A.R.B.O.N. I am in process of cleaning it up and replacing a torn grip. It is 9* Driver. Thanks for any info. I think it is Japanese .

Welcome to the forum... did it look like this:

I'm not familiar with that model as a Japanese market one. I think this was an American market release.

Similar, Yes, but it has SE+ after the 400. Front has the word Musclepower if that helps. Hit it a bunch this AM. It is stock length and I may not shorten it to my stanrd 44" as it is straight , Long, and workable. I like it!

TY for info

Just found it on Non conforming lists of USGA and R&A with pic of legal Driver and the one with SE+ that I found. COR must be over .830 limits. Prob more like others at .860. I like it.

Thanks for the info, non conforming makes me think it was Japanese version then or at least outside of the US. Are you able to hit it longer than your Titleist? (^_^)

At 67, I am no 'Big Hitter ' anymore , but I will check when I play my home course today. Biggest difference from Titlest is the lie angle which is visually more upright. When I address the ball, the toe is slightly raised, and it works fine. Overall weight is almost an oz. more than 983k. Shaft has a heftier feel but very nice action. Club is as workable as the Titlest and also has a neutral face angle that I prefer. When regripping I decided to leave the overall clublength alone, and see if I can hit it straight. Seems fine on the range.

I like this Driver. Hefty compared to my Titlest setup, but very well balanced, just as workable off the Tee, and 5 to 15 yards longer. Ball flight is lower ,as it is 9*loft, and 983k is 11.5. The shaft plays very well. Feel on total swing is really right with you. I prefer these borethru clubs, and Yonex built a nice one. Can't imagine tossing it out.

It's in the bag!
