Posted September 30, 200816 yr comment_152113 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.

September 30, 200816 yr Author comment_152126 Mid to late October release so look for pre order soon!
October 2, 200816 yr comment_152192 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?
October 3, 200816 yr comment_152200 Wow! Been very happy with my Epon driver. But now I am tempted to give Tourstage another try!
October 3, 200816 yr comment_152204 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?
October 6, 200816 yr comment_152248 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.
October 7, 200816 yr comment_152254 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.
October 10, 200816 yr comment_152318 What about the new 2009 TourStage fairway woods? What are your thoughts on these????
October 11, 200816 yr comment_152331 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?

October 26, 200816 yr comment_152553 WOW!!!!!!!!!!! These woods are beau-ti-FULL!! Thanx for the pics, Gocchin!! Can't wait to have them in my hands!!
August 5, 200915 yr comment_156646 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.
