tigerhood Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 (edited) i just got a tourstage viq mx 10.5* driver with a tv-50a 48 gm R shaft and a viq 17* 4 wood with a vd-50 SR shaft in a trade and would like to know what year model these are and where they were made... the driver weighs in at 290 gms and the 4 wood at 305 gms... i have used them for 2 rounds now and am hitting my drives at least 15 yds longer(about 240+ yd carry now) than my previous J33r 460 driver with vs proto 65 R shaft(325 gm mass weight) and the 4 wood is also longer than my FT 17* 4 wood with fuji e160 R shaft.. needless to say i am quite happy with my trade(i traded them with my mint--hit less than 10x--2010 callaway diablo edge tour driver) and am now convinced that the lighter shafts and over-all weight are the way to go...for me.. i am 65 years young and my ss is in the high 90's....i have been playing the game for 52 years now and got as low as a 3 but am now an 9 hdcp on my 6500 yd home course... i am now looking for a similar driver as a back-up as my other drivers are all in the 320-325 gm range.. thanks for any replies...

gocchin Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Those are 2006/2007 models made in Japan. If you go with Stew's recommendations of the 2009 ONOFF Red and the Yamaha 4.6D, the ViQ MX will become the back up as both those drivers are superior to the ViQ with better feel and better distance at similar club weights.

tigerhood Posted October 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 the clubs were in mint almost brand new condition with original headcovers when i got them and the sticker indicated a price of 750000 yen for the driver and 350000 for the 4 wood.. ...did they really cost that much when they first came out?

Hmmm... don't think they were that much. Removing 1 zero sounds more like the original price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
