Posted July 30, 200816 yr comment_151321 I am currently playing a Miura Precious Edition driver at 390cc. Quite a pleasure to hit and has a very unique thwok on good contact. Would like to know of other current drivers that are under 400cc. I am not a fan of the larger driver heads... Don't like the look, and don't enjoy how they feel during the swing. I don't have an issue hitting them, just not my bag... Thanks for the feedback...
July 30, 200816 yr comment_151323 One of the best forged heads around that size ever made was the Epon Technity 380 which is of course 380cc. Very nice feel on impact. Another option is the Mizuno JPX E310 at 410cc and very traditional shaped... this is a very solid driver. You can check out yourpressed's review here: http://forum.tourspecgolf.com/t24648.html which is what inspired me to try out the driver as well. Hard part with these smaller heads is actually finding one as they are older models.
July 30, 200816 yr comment_151327 I too am interested in "smaller" driver heads. I doubt I am going to stumble on a E310 anytime soon :/ Char
July 30, 200816 yr comment_151328 I have both the Epon 380 and the Miura 390 and I personally like the feel of Miura better.
July 30, 200816 yr comment_151330 i have owned the epon 380, miura 390, but my vote goes with the Mizuno MP Craft 425....... it looks almost the same size...but its the best for me in length, workability and accuracy of placement of drive. Miura got the nod over the epon 380 Edited July 30, 200816 yr by ajaykkr
July 31, 200816 yr comment_151333 I have not tried the other drivers mentioned, but the Srixon W-302 at 380cc is great club.

I recently put together a retro bag with near new Mizuno MP-14s and a brand new Mizuno J-spec Tour Spirit Model III 300s driver. 300cc, 10 degrees loft and S.O.L.I.D. Needs reshafting with one of today's better shafts, but man it's really fun to play with!
July 31, 200816 yr comment_151358 I have tried just about every 400+ CC driver out there trying to unseat my Taylor Made 300(360CC) Tour driver. The smaller heads/solid feel and sound just suit me I guess. The big drawback folks mention with the smaller heads is the forgiveness factor but if you aren't comfortable than it doesn't matter how forgiving a driver might be. The Mizuno JPX E310 is one solid driver...Gocchin--paypal is loaded if/when you are ready to part with it.
August 1, 200816 yr Author comment_151370 I know these don't consitute JDM, but anybody try the KZG RBT(360cc or 325cc) or SP700(355cc)?
September 2, 200816 yr Author comment_151782 Managed to find a Srixon W302 on ebay and figured I would give it a try... Put in a UST ProForce v2 shaft stiff flex... The Miura is far and away a better head. Feels more stable through the swing, feel at impact is more communicative, and the ball flight is is more piercing with the Miura. For now I guess I'll go back to the T/S V-Steel 3 wood as a back up to the Miura until I can find a better alternative...

September 3, 200816 yr comment_151794 I am currently gaming a Miura PE 390 with Matrix F6M2 this club hits nice high low spin bombs, it has the knocked the Tour Burner TP out of that bag!
September 3, 200816 yr comment_151797 It's not Japanese but I don't see how you can go wrong with a 510TP at that size...
