coops1967 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 My new Craft 611 10 degree at 56.5 degree lie arrived today! Stupidly I have only just ordered another Nunchuk shaft for it... so will have to wait for any reports on how it feels and performs. I was planning to just swap the shaft over from my Adams 9015D (with a Nunchuk shaft at 44" and Gripmaster Pittards grip), but realised it was time to just go ahead and get a backup shaft - i've been swinging much better after a visit to Dan Whitaker in the UK and working on the 3hrs lesson i had with him, and have been hitting some extremely good drives... even managing to hit a high fade when i wanted to on one occasion, so am very, very happy with the shaft and of course the Adams head is a legend in its own right (see a humongous thread devoted to it alone on golfwrx). As a result, i'm not even going to try the club as is - I don't want to put any bad vibes on it - I'm going to wait for the same shaft, and fit same grip etc etc then enjoy them both. Meanwhile here's a whole bunch of photo's, even the headcover (!) and pics comparing appearance of the 611 vs Adams 9015D vs Yonex380 My impressions appearance wise... Gorgeous. There are many ways to make an expensive driver look good, and i'd say Mizuno have chosen the 'anti-Honma' way Nothing flashy, no graphics or alignment at address, shaft installed with what little shaft labelling there is down, and even the head cover is a restrained piece of rather nice work. Very, very nice black shaft and head - maybe some extremely dark royal Mizuno blue in there, hard to say - but lovely. The headcover had micro perforations, quilting and I ended up smelling it, just to check whether they'd provided a real leather cover (!) - it's that good. Not sure how long it will last here in thailand, all poly headcovers start to rot after a year or so... Lovely shape, and the pics of all three drivers show just how good I think this head will turn out to be... the yonex 380cc head has a much smaller apparent face, whereas the 410cc Mizuno looks more like a slightly shrunk 9015D, with a nice big face with the bonus the beatiful top view. Miz 611 ordered flatter lie at 56.5 degrees lie, which i think is indicated by the yellow dot on the sole. It seems from it's construction that Epon are the foundry responsible.... so can't wait to see how it sounds and feels. Pics!!!! Loads and loads of them, no point in holding back - the comparison pics are at the end (!) Comparison Left to Right :- Yonex Ezone380, Adams 9015D, Miz Craft 611 Top to Bottom:- yonex, adams, mizuno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdGolf Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 This is one of the most beautiful head Mizumo have made IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmieboi Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 very classy!! Do tell how it performs!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coops1967 Posted January 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 I think i might have to get the boys at Golfcraft to respray the new Nunchuk shaft when it arrives... a purple shaft with that beauty just isn't right. Think Wilding golf centres have some new rdar/LM setup at some of their centres, so will compare them both then... hopefully soon, and hopefully beofr i have to return to work. The face view looks very encouraging, didn't realise how small the Yonex hitting area was before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
