I'm curious about the various Ryoma models in term of launch and spin and was hoping to tap insights here.

Assuming your have the D1, Premia, V-Spec and Special Tuning and ALL ARE 9.5* loft. In order of highest launch angle and spin, (assuming same shat, ball etc ie only difference is the model of Ryoma), how will they rank?

Thanks.

For ME,

Highest launch

Tie between ST and D1

premia

V-spec

Could only guess what the spin rates are. I don't think there

is a very big spread there. I would say D1 would spin the most

I like all the Ryoma Drivers but the

best (legal) driver for me is the Premia

Thanks for chiming in iDrive and your views I feel are measured and hence valued.

I would have thought the same with the exception of the D1 and Premia with me thinking that the Premia would launch higher than the D1.

From your experience, does the Premia launch significantly higher than the V-Spec loft for loft?

Thanks.

The V-spec was the only one that launched noticeably lower

But yes, the Premia launches higher than the V-spec. More like one is a 9.5 and the other 10.5

.

They could have all just about tied for highest launch compared to v-spec

I have also found the shaft can and does make a noticeable difference in launch. Seems they

(ryoma heads) really bring the shaft characteristics out.

So you reckon say a Premia 9.5 will launch like a V-spec 10.5? Hmmm.... may need to rethink what loft I should get i my second try of the Ryoma. I hit a friend's Premia 10.5 but with a Fubuki K 65R (which I think launches lower than the RD I have) and I still out drove that with my 435 RD combo but not by much. The premia head felt really good though and hence now I am thinking about the Premia instead of a V-spec 10.5. Just wondering if I should get the Premia in 9.5 or 10.5 as I found the v-spec 9.5 too low launching and spinning and my 435 10.5 too high launching. IN either case, I have a FEX 55SR ready for whichever Ryoma comes.
