jimmieboi Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 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.

mauvanilla Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 What is the tag price ... I will be in Tokyo on Tuesday eve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmieboi Posted May 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmclarenf1 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) Woohoo, take a few hits into the net when you get your boron shafted Type V. Also, they have been out a while from what I have been told by a friend who just returned from Japan. Can;t wait to hear from you on this!

wmclarenf1 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 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.

jimmieboi Posted May 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 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.

Ian-500 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Would like to hear the comparison to your Kami Ray. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big67 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Why did you choose the V instead of the other 2 models? Just wondering cause unlike most of us, you had a chance to see/hit/compare all 3 models in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmieboi Posted May 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
