Posted March 20, 201311 yr P-Tune PG313 looks to be pretty popular in Japan. It is supposedly the fist component manufacturer to utilize a adjustable hosel. Head shape is pretty nice as well. How are these in terms of quality? Edited November 8, 201311 yr by nobmontana
March 20, 201311 yr I like the face shape, also judging by the illustration about COG, it looks like a very low spin design? Didn't tsupo mention he used a P-tune driver? Or have I dreamed that up, ha ha?
March 20, 201311 yr Author I heard that these heads are currently sold out in many shops in Japan and very hard to get.
March 20, 201311 yr My Japanese friend has just sold his Epon to get one... I think that says it all... Looking forward to hitting it later in the year. The head cover on their previous model the PG106 was pretty cheap looking.
March 20, 201311 yr I'm a believer in the low and forward CoG. I think low and away changes the dynamics at impact and adds loft. I have less pop ups with my low and forward CoG driver. You just have to go up in loft to keep launch ideal. Edited March 20, 201311 yr by xxio

March 20, 201311 yr Kenmochi had an adjustable component driver for nearly 2 years now. P-Tune is a line from Pigeon Golf here in Japan... they are VERY VERY small, and mostly popular with smaller golf shops and clubmakers. Most of their exposure is in golf magazines like Choice. They do not produce a lot of stock which is probably why availability is low. I think we can get it if anyone wants to try.
March 20, 201311 yr YES IvE been with p-tune for 4 years the p110 is a very good head very simple lines but a great weight palcement under neath no one outside the insider here have any interest in them bec they are small. ive played these heads for ages and i think they are GOOD..
March 20, 201311 yr They've had quite a bit of exposure from the popular QP Golf blog. There's been a recent review on http://shidanikki.bl...-entry-771.html if anybody's interested.
March 21, 201311 yr Hmm, sounds like my experience with the 611 mizuno head. Went to 10 and have zero issues with too much spin or a too high launch. I read on the TM site last year that the RBZ Non Tour had that design. Outside that plug is low and away. It is cosmetic. I emailed TM and they confirmed that internally on the non Tour RBZ the weight is low and forward. I kept making sure because I really wanted a low and forward CoG but really did not want to buy white and TM. No other choice at the time. Now with a DI nothing has come close.
July 27, 201311 yr Author I thought I was the only one using this driver and today discovered two more members here who were gaming it. Please share your thoughts on the P-Tune PG313!!
July 27, 201311 yr Are the adapter sleeves for these reusable? How much are new sleeves and are they easy to come by?
July 27, 201311 yr Author I bought an extra sleeve when i got my head. Unlike other manufacturers, they actually sell sleeves individually. And yes, they are reusable. Slightly larger diameter ferrule required, but available thru the bay Edited July 27, 201311 yr by nobmontana
July 27, 201311 yr I have been playing with p tune lately.... I love it!! I believe it's better than any other drivers I have. I bought extra sleeve too. I switch between diamana x and quadra fe.... slight fade and draw.... both bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Edited July 27, 201311 yr by tae

What's the ball flight, roll, forgives wise compared to the usual ryoma and 435 suspects?
July 27, 201311 yr What's the ball flight, roll, forgives wise compared to the usual ryoma and 435 suspects? Ball flight.... mine is mid. But as you know, it's all relative. Your swing, degree, and shaft. It rolls a lot.... more than t 388. it is more forgiving than any other small drivers. Distance? I hate to say this....... but longer than my grandprix gpx, ryoma ST, maxima, crazy 460, t 388, jbeam 435R, zero, yamaha, romaro, rbz, and D913. Again... it's all relative and about the shaft on the head. But I love the feel, sound..... everything about it. You should definitely try it!! you will be pleasantly surprised.

July 27, 201311 yr Author I am not surprised by Tae's comments. It's actually that good! I did an 8 driver shootout on trackman a few weeks back and P-Tune came out as top dog. Will be doing another trackman session within the next couple of weeks against some Endo drivers: Yamaha V203, Epon Zero , Mizuno Craft 611 and Toustage 709 Stay tuned !!
July 27, 201311 yr Interesting.... What the price range like, in comparison to the other high enders out there?
July 27, 201311 yr My Lajosi Damascus is simply lovely. It feels slightly firmer with the light face milling. Good thing with Lajosi is you can custom make basically anything to your fancy for one third the price of other custom makers out there. I've game/ collect TP mills handmade, Tad Moore, Bettinardi customs, Miura, and Lajosi are amongst those brand up there in terms of quality.

July 29, 201311 yr Interesting.... What the price range like, in comparison to the other high enders out there? Same price bracket as most other high end driver heads. Just a lot harder to get hold of... I recently demoed the PG313, unfortunately the shaft was a terrible match for me - so I can't comment on performance. Its a thing of beauty though...
