rb2235 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Anyone try and care to share their thoughts? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petethepilot Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I have found all the recent Romaro gear to be great. I have a set of their irons which I love. A mate has the driver and I have hit it at least 20 times and I rate it right up there. I hit medium trajectory low spin bullets with it (obviously the right shaft helps. This one had a crazy boron in it!). If something happened to my current driver, it would be my selection as a replacement! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hocko Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 He's got the 460 but I think the 435 will be a better head IMO. I was toying with the idea of buying one myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIduffer Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Me three… the wedges, iron and UTs have all been performers… Why would the driver be any different... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petethepilot Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Ok, Hocko would know as he has the same club! Whatever it is, I pipe it long and straight (at least long for a 50 year old!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hocko Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Haha, you need to get one Pete, you did hit it well. I will be interested to hear how the 435 goes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petethepilot Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Dibs on yours then Hocko although the Shaft in Dan's seems to help a lot. I should just wait for him to have a melt down and get it on the rebound :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gocchin Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 435 is of course more compact and a tad more solid feeling. Trajectory is lower as is the spin. Well suited for those who swing above 100mph at least and want control as well as distance. The shape is actually very nice. I will post up a video on the blog that Romaro made featuring the driver so we can all here the sound in action. Sound for many can be translated into feel.

Petethepilot Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Thanks Gocchin. I will also post a review on the RoMaro H irons sometime soon. Hocko has the FW as well as the driver so he may be willing to do a review of them for you. I am very very impressed with the quality and performance of all their gear that I have tried!

RIduffer Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Pete, you have the RomaRo Pro Forged too? Those are sick heads… Am super fond of them. I think they are better than the Personals… Blasphemy, I know… But man o man soft to hit, great to look at, great performing iron... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not Blasphemy to prefer the Romaro's over Epon. I have hit both and I think the Romaro's are head and shoulders better than the Epon personals! I can't believe Epon don't make a non-offset iron head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No comparison to Miura or Fourteen IMO. The Fwy wood is an absolute cracker too, I'm not a huge fan of the wedges though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIduffer Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Have a pair of the SX and an Alcobaca... Perform well, but the feel is a bit harsh, especially compared to the irons... The I-Brid is a great 3&4 iron replacement and the UT is another winner... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerobound Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 The 435 is very solid feeling. Not the softest feeling driver but you can feel the consistency and stability through every shot. Off center hits are surprisingly forgiving too. It seems the compact head does not twist or or turn on shots hit a bit on the toe or heel. It produces a very flat trajectory with low spin, but can easily be worked in both directions. Shaft is ofcourse a big part of a driver, but definitely made to suit the faster swing players.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 I think the pro forged irons rival the Personals, It's very close, Romaro makes some good stuff no doubt and agree with u guys on the wedges feeling more firm than the irons. From what I understand is that a firmer wedge is usually by design. I believe this is done intentionally during the annealing process. I've been told on many occasions that you don't want wedges uber soft. I've got a demo of the pro forged iron and hit back to back against the personals I give the Pro Forged the edge in setup as its more knife like, feel is softer too but not as "pure". Which is subjective of course. I give the advantage to the personals in forgiveness by a good margin though. 460 vs 435, well i like the spin rate on the 435 as it seems a tad less and I also like the trajectory. Feel is a toss up both are really good. The 435 has that more muted solid impact while the 460 is a softer hollow, not the softest but still nice for me.

I think the Epon blades in general do not have the same ball striking requirement as other blades I have played. I also think the rewards of the sweet spot hit are not as high as the Pro Forged. On the wedges, not sure why soft is bad as long as spin and distance control are there. Either way I think the RomaRos err on the firm side... Thanks for the feedback T...
