gocchin Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 So Tourstage announced it's new X-Drive lineup for 2009. It consists of 4 models, the 901, 701, 701G and 701GR. They are all aimed at different player types. The primary differences are: Head Size and Shape CG Placement Lie Angle Face Angle These differences result in different trajectorys and shot types including the following: 901: Low trajectory and Fade ball - face angle slightly open 701: Low-medium trajectory Fade and Draw - face angle square 701G: Medium trajectory Straight and Draw - face angle square GR: Medium-High trajectory Draw - face angle slightly closed As you can see from the images below, the Head shape as well as the CG and weight placements affect all these characteristics. The X-Drive will also be available with some very interesting shafts: A couple of Tour Design Prototypes from Tourstage. The new Tour AD EV Series shaft from Graphite Design The new Diamana Kai'Li Series shaft from Mitsubishi Rayon The new Rombax F from Fujikura If you have any questions about actual specs just ask and I'll try and answer them.

gocchin Posted September 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Mid to late October release so look for pre order soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K2_2 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hi T, I'm with you on the graphics - and kicking myself for not picking up a GR in Black. To me, the 2008 line looks much more appealing than the new '09 models. On a technical note - will the 7 series really sit square being that they are designed to give players a bit more help?

dkats Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Wow! Been very happy with my Epon driver. But now I am tempted to give Tourstage another try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjunonet Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Can anyone tell me if I coupled 901, which is low trajectory fade vias head, with new Rombax F series shaft, which is mid to high launch shaft, would it create mid trajectory driver?

bloggerbeck Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I think that the new X-Drive and X-Blades have got to be one of the nicest sets to come out for 2009. I mean all the different options available are crazy. For those looking to have as much control over what goes into the make-up of their club, I don't see how they could do any better than this line.

EdChoi Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 I posted a thread asking this question a while back, but let me ask it again. Can someone explain to me the appeal of the tourstage drivers? I want to try one, but want to understand what is the big reason that I should try one.

Duffer19 Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Do you really need a reason to be a club 'ho? Just ask T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NakedDave Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 What about the new 2009 TourStage fairway woods? What are your thoughts on these???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corky3 Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 These new drivers seem to be a departure from the more traditional looking(my opinion) offerings that TS has produced before, my question is to anyone who has tried a new one..... do they have that same solid feel/sound?

SpeedyH Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Looks like the J38 driver will be almost identical to the 701 without the plug. I wasn't expecting it but looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
