jm3 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'm thinking of adding a ryoma special tuning to the bag. I have a premia / crazy boron now and really like the club, just not getting a very good ball flight (low, practically no carry). and figured I might as well try the ST. I've read that the Ryoma ST is not designed to handle higher swing speeds and could potentially crack because the face is so thin. I remember reading a post about how they wouldn't let Stew hit any more balls because they thought he might break it. So my question, who's using this club now and what's the max swing speed. I'm somewhere between 105 and 110 mph and I would say my average swing is probably closer to 105, 106 than it is 110. Am I a fool for putting dollars into a head that might last only 2-3 months? Really interested to hear feedback from owners and whether its worth my gamble. thanks. Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmclarenf1 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I can't remember but I think it's 105. I have seen a face cracked st from someone with a slower swing speed. With your swing speed, I would not. Your call of course. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 You swing too fast for the special tuning. It is suggested that the max is 105 but I no longer suggest it for speeds over 100. Just get the maxima... for me its as long as the ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm3 Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 If the ST can't handle +100mph, any recommendations on a high cor driver? I bought a Yamaha 405D and I have to say, I really like this driver, it' goes far, and when flushed, it goes really far. It's a bit of a dated driver, so i was hoping to try a newer high cor. GIII? Romaro?? Kamui Ray?? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamui Ray?? thanks kamui is a great option. i just played 2 rounds with my kamui ray hi-cor...man i wish this thing was ok'd for tourney use. it's by far the best feeling driver i own or have played. and distance doesn't even need discussing. i've been trying to practically give mine away because i hate doing this to myself but kamui doesn't seem to get the love it deserves around here.
