mauvanilla Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 As I am going to Tokyo (placed in another topic); last time I was there I tried very hard to find these: FlyingCat: http://www.forebes.co.jp/FlyingCat.html Nexgen: http://www.gp-nexgen.jp/ These brands are quite popular among the longest drivers circuit in Japan; not even sure if these are conforming. Besides my Ryoma in the bag I also bring sometimes a fun driver (Rage 9 degress with a Jamie Sadlowski shaft). I was thinking of building a JDM long driver for fun with these... Any additional information or where I could potentially find these in Japan?! Tokyo based friends, I would appreciate directions. Last time I tried a shop in Shinjuku and a very small fitter in Harajuku but they (as per my poor nihongo understanding) didnt carry the brand for long... Thanks M.

nobmontana Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Nexgen is a brand owned by Golf Partner. They have shops everywhere in Tokyo. Flying cat is a much smaller brand and might be more challenging to find. Heard good things about them. Speaking of long drive. Works Golf is another major player in the Long Drive comps. in Japan. Used to have a 5 deg "Ultimazer" head which I could not get up in the air. :-) and it was the loudest head I ever had , very similar to the Nike Sumo SQ head . Sold that puppy right away.

mauvanilla Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Any guess where I could possibly find the Flying Cat? Thanks, M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Flying Cat is part of the Fore'bes lineup along with KZG and Nano Power... Nexgen I would skip that. Lower quality and only has a Drakon presence because they pay and sponsor guys to play them thanks to Golf Partner's deep pockets. Flying cat sounds interesting but I'm not sure how people would respond to the looks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxio Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Currently trying out NexGen balls. Orange premium distance. Hard to make good comparison. Course is unbelievably dry, hard, and fast. Carry seems to be the same as xjd, which is my current ball. No idea about the company. Anymore details? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
