Posted April 16, 201113 yr I have the Crazy FX435 head with a Crazy Black 50 right now and it's awesome. However, as with most of us, I can't control myself and I feel the need to try another head. From what i've been following on here the last few months, these are the hot ones right now: Ryoma V-Spec Jbeam 425 JBeam 435 Yamaha X V425 Yonex 380 Tourstage 385cc How do these compare to the Crazy 435? I'm looking for lowest possible spin first, with lowest possible launch second. I'm not looking to work the ball and feel is not as important as spin and launch to me. What do I buy?
April 16, 201113 yr I don't know(wish I did) but the head you have now is very hard to beat in terms of low spin. If you decide to move on from it shoot me a pm. Edited April 16, 201113 yr by yourpressed
April 16, 201113 yr I would say because you have the Crazy FX-435 you need not look at Jbeam. Jbeam produced that driver for Crazy it's pretty much identical to their 435 which is an outstanding head. Very low spin! Go Ryoma sir! Very low spin head, very straight, very forgiving. The Yonex 380 is also a very good club I have a couple for testing and the 9* had more spin and launched higher than Jbeams or Ryoma's. Jbeam & Ryoma IMO have the lowest amount of spin.
April 17, 201113 yr D -san.. theres is NOTHING ,, nothing anywhere near the 435 j beam(crazy) if ucan get this off the groiund higher than head high with the TJ 46 then u are so ahead of the curve its reduculous. i have 3 j beams now. 2, 435 with 7.7 and 7.2 im selling the 7.7 bec i want somehting that moves just a smidge, and its too taught for me as is, after hitting the 7.2 ,this brought it back to HUMAN proportions for me, the 435 is a hammer. the 425 tour with the crazy 80 7.7 is my kahoona never changing anything about this, perfect in every way and its long longer for me that the 435 bu i dont have the SS to make the most of this set up, but hit the ball staraight and long with miles of run , its easily the best the Ryoma is the most sensational proper driver, its long straight , smalls workable if u need it ,but yesterday on a cpol of par 5s i juts loaded it nd sent it arrow staright. i think u might want the TJ shaft..... , its totally differnt from the 80s and 50s much lower . much much lower
April 17, 201113 yr Author What do you mean the "the Ryoma is the most sensational proper driver"? The TJ shaft launches lower than the Black 80 and 50? So JBeam 425 is the lowest of low for spin, the Crazy 435 and JBeam 435 are tied for second? Ryoma is 3rd? What about the Tourstage 385? Anyone try that?
April 17, 201113 yr Not a made for the long drivers like the jbeam 435 the ryoma is traditional shape haed with the power tail the 435 lools like it is made to send a salvo of cannon fire at advacing enemies sqaure and boxy yea that tj 46 is almost possible to get launcged the 425 tour is MUCH higher than the 435 no j think the435is lower by a lot
April 17, 201113 yr Author So the Jbeam435 is lower spinning than the 425? Then what's lower spinning, the Crazy 435 or the Jbeam 435? TJ 46 hey..... i'll have to look into this.
April 17, 201113 yr Author I'm sorry I meant the 435Jbeam spins less than the new 445Jbeam? There is no 425. My bad. Would the Crazy 435 spin a little more than both of these or what are you thoughts?
April 17, 201113 yr If u want to try anorher head out of the ryoma and jbeam tour id suggedtto tou tp go the jbeam tour in 10' i think u can generate more head speed with it and itwont turn over can see u likng this more than the ryoma at yr speeds for sure its a more solid head all round plus u can play withe weights to suit desired shot al i know is whar s**ts cone out o. Course and rue 435 is DEF the lowest launch for me the425 is more a normal driver head its awsome shape and at address looks the goods did i say its long. And u can go as hard as u like and it seems to go better Edited April 17, 201113 yr by supo67
April 17, 201113 yr put it this way The next driver i get will be the jbeam 425 tour wirh. A crazy cb80ls noir just so ican get a bit of turn
April 17, 201113 yr Author Ok i'm confused again. There's a JBeam 425, 435 and 445? I've only ever heard of the 435 and the new (featured on Tario's Blog) 445. Is there a JBeam website anywhere?
April 17, 201113 yr Yes j beam are thier own company they just happened to make the head for crazy best go to google jp then type it in thier wedges look very good
April 17, 201113 yr Haven't heard anything about Kamui for a while. I have the 456 Silver (custom) and the Ryoma V-Spec, both on Crazy LY01. Granted I have not played many rounds with the Ryoma, but so far, I've hit longer with the Kamui. The mis-hits may be a tad longer and straighter with the Ryoma but I think if you're a decent golfer, a custom built Kamui could be more rewarding.

Yes, i like the fact that you can get the Kamui completely custom. How is your Kamui specs compared to the Ryoma?
April 20, 201113 yr Yes, i like the fact that you can get the Kamui completely custom. How is your Kamui specs compared to the Ryoma? Completely identical, other than lie, which is not applicable to the V-Spec. Otherwise, same shaft same flex same length same swing weight same grip. I have also not heard many, if any at all, comparison between the Ryoma with the Kamui, just the Ryoma vs other drivers. So don't know if it's just me or what.
