METALFACTORY GT-3000 - Anyone can talk about this driver?

Beatifully designed, clean as a whistle. There is really nothing like it on the market. I've heard it is easy to hit with great distance. Well maybe not like Royoma's length but is long. I'd like to learn more about this club. Anyone can help? Here is the link to see the pictures of this club: http://blog.sina.com.cn/yudan1968

Yes Metal Factory, it's owned by Asahi golf and if you want these let us know.

It's main draw is the red, yellow, and blue paint jobs they put on the driver. Yuck! they do have black though.

Another thing is Asahi golf is known not to update their product lines often enough so this brand is based on only 1 driver in different colors and that's it.

Supposed to have good distance.

Yes we posted pics back in the golf show coverage and on FB. I had one right after the show It was pretty good except for the color of the head and the giant racing stripe. They even have a mirror chrome head if we want to see your reflection on the tee box. Although it says Manufacturing studio Japan they don't make the drivers themselves.

"Racing stripe", hahaha, I know what you are talking about. It is a disaster but I thought that is only for S-360 not the GT-3000. Does it look "pertite" as XV from top? If I purchase the head along, how much it would be? They claims the club has the highest CT and COR. How do those affect our game? Does it really help or just another "CLAIM TO BE"! Edited by Calvin

Honestly i took those photos and I looked carefully at the product back at the Japan golf fair. I was originally going to visit their operations but the drivers did not impress me that much,

As for the COR and CT the guarantee over 0.826889 COR which is legal limit. And CT over 250 which is nothing. We have many drivers in the shop that blow those numbers away.

Unique in looks... for sure. Performance... I can't judge but its pretty much one driver model made with all different colors and it only uses standard 6-4 Ti which by Japan standards is not considered premium or exotic by any means.

Looks like I have to skip this one. What a waste for such a beautiful design. BTW, do you know what is the CT for S-Yard XV? Also what is the different between DAT 55G and DT 65 Ti.?

The XV is legal like the Metal factory driver at around 250. There are drivers in our shop that are non conforming and are in the 270 to 290 CT range...

The difference in Ti is in their strengths/durability, melting points which is important for manufacturing especially forging and elasticity. A lot of times the design of the head and manufacturing process (as well of budget of course) will dictate what material is used.

So the verdict is.............? DAT 55G or DT 65 is more durable and stronger?
