+TourSpecGolfer Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Many TSG'ers are getting their Maxima's delivered now so it's an exciting time for everyone who had waited patiently. I was thinking about writing a blog post with my Review of the Maxima but then I thought wouldn't it be cool to compile the opinions of everyone good or bad and share whats been working, not working, or perhaps even whats missing. So please share your thoughts, questions, reviews, pics etc.. of the Ryoma Maxima in this thread to help us build a web special around it.

MBBG Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 I've got an 8.5 Maxima with a crazy black tour 65 SX and it is HIGH. Not sure where to turn for shaft to lower it. Seems really long but its all carry. Benched it after 2 holes at an outing yesterday and went back to RomaRo 435/FEX. That thing is money.

jimmieboi Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 I have hit the S-Yard t.388 side by side the Maxima type V. I can make a brief compare between the two. I would say the Type V is more forgiving, produce more distance, more roll....but the t.388 is more straight (when struck well), better feel, sounds at impact better, better looks at address. Both are very good driver. It's amazing that the t.388 needs to be teed low and hit either sweeping or downward blow to get the ball up in the air. If I were to only choose one....it would be the Ryoma. Not that the t.388 is bad....it's very very bullet piercing straight and good feel....but when it comes to driver, you would want the ultimate in distance and forgiveness (at least for me)....the Ryoma wins by a mile on those regards.

JGalls Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 I"ve read an individual's review that his V is quite high launching, even with his 8.5*. Concerned that I'll be shopping my 9.5 upon arrival very soon if that's the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandor Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 got it put together today...cant w8 to hit it tomorrow at the range then bring it to the course thurs after work :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concerned that I'll be shopping my 9.5 upon arrival very soon if that's the case. For me, it is highER launching but not high launching. Web reviews are only a guide. Try it for yourself. You don;t need more beer for better golf and you may swing better so a 9.5 could yet be right for you :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmclarenf1 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Congrats Gandor. Looking forward to your review. You play the CB-80 LS in your previous driver as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandor Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Congrats Gandor. Looking forward to your review. You play the CB-80 LS in your previous driver as well? thanks! yes i play the same shaft but in a softer flex(6.9) on the vspec and this new one 7.4. i launch the 6.9 pretty high so hopefully with this stiffer one will bring it down a bit.

wmclarenf1 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) thanks! yes i play the same shaft but in a softer flex(6.9) on the vspec and this new one 7.4. i launch the 6.9 pretty high so hopefully with this stiffer one will bring it down a bit. Would like to hear your side by side with your origina V-Spec 9.5. For me, my Type D 10.5 launches a tad higher than my D1 10.5 but te Maxima gives a lot more roll. I have not been able to try the same TJ46 shaft in the Maxima though. I have a WBQ 55 on the way in for the Maxima.

I have a WBQ 55 on the way in for the Maxima. im bringing both to the range today..im pretty sure i can compare the ball flight but not the roll since i can reach the net. i'll find out about the roll on thurs at the course.

gandor Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 oh man! love that shaft on No1 grip! this is my 1st time with No1 grip so we'll see if this will make me pull all my x-evolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmieboi Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I really love the Nowon grip especially the limited Ichi version...would like to replace them all in my irons but the price is a tad expensive (at least than the Iomix sticky I'm using right now.)

jimmieboi Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 The Ichi is the only Nowon grip I have so cannot compare to the regular version. It's much better than the Iomic....I think it's more durable too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandor Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 is the ichi round or ribbed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 is the ichi round or ribbed? Ribbed but black comes in round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much better than the Iomic....I think it's more durable too. The original/regular nowons are almost too soft. Some complain too much torque. The ichi is tacky but firmer and much less twisting.

gandor Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 hmm thats too bad.. i prefer round and not black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandor Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 had a range session last night and brought my vspec for a head to head comparision and i for one can confirm that the type v has a higher ball flight but with that said im surprised because the trajectory is more penetrating than the vspec. i hit the 250yrds net at the middle with the vspec and on the type v i hit it at the very top and actually had a few that went over the net. i could already tell just from the ball flight that the type v is longer on both carry and roll compared to the vspec. this driver got me so excited last night that i moved my tee time from tomorrow to today after work..cant wait to see how this thing perform at the course.

Mjr. D Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Please tell me the V is totally neutral. In every picture I've seen it appears to be slightly closed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiromikey Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Please tell me the V is totally neutral. In every picture I've seen it appears to be slightly closed... i'm still wanting someone to tell me i can order one with an open face angle!
