Hands on Ryoma Maxima Type V driver....l


Recommended Posts

I'm in Tokyo at the moment and went to Ueno for golf hunt instead of Shimbashi. I needed to go to Akihabara for some Otaku stuff so I choose Ueno over Shimbashi. Went to Kotobuki golf shop and found Ryoma Booth with all models of Maxima Driver. I got mine in Type V 9.5 degree. I'll have it shaft into Crazy Boron when I get back home tomorrow for more review. Btw, Maxima is more of a shallow face driver than the old D1 model.

I got theType V with stock shaft for 89000 yen. De tax by about 10750 yen. The tag price is 99750 yen. Most of the shops in Ueno have all the Maxima model for sale, so if you go there, you should get it easily.

Congrats Jimmieboi! Looks lethal! I am told the distance on this thing is noteworthy and better if you play dry courses due to the roll. Forgiveness is supposed to be better than the original as well. As you own several D1s, you'll be well placed to compare.

Be sure to post back your initial and ongoing impressions.

I just got back to my actually home so I took a few snap shot along side other Ryoma Driver, the V-Spec and the Premier model. The New Maxima Type V has a more shallow back design (the back where the DSI is located is more elongated toward the back), the finish is about the same in terms of paint and finish. It's a Ryoma Driver so the product is very high end.

In the pic (from left to right) I have Crazy 435II, Ryoma F2, Ryoma V-Spec, Ryoma Premier, Ryoma Maxima Type-V, Kamui Ray, Kamui Ray FW and Epon Zero.

And I was complaining I had too many with 5 drivers LOL!

Will greatly appreciate your comparative thoughts on trajectory and roll vis-a-vis your Premia 9.5.

Would like to hear the comparison to your Kami Ray.

Thanks.

I choose the V for only one reason. It's the only model with a square (0 degree) face angle. The other 2 either has a 1 to 1.5 close face angle. The one thing I notice on the new maxima, the DSL is seamlessly blend into the back of the driver (the old D1 is kinda stick out) really makes it look easy to hit and also (most importantly) erase the illusion that the Face angel is close (even on a 0 degree face angle). That's a major breakthrough as far as the design is concern comparing to the previous model.

I'll be hitting it today along with all the drivers I possess and will compare them later, possibly tonight.
