But maybe you didn't want any trademark infringement issues? haha Great pics though, I'm lovin' mine. opps! fixed :) Your xXx you playing a messenger? If so what length and head weight config you using? Had a small issue with the D at 45.75" with the Messenger stiff at standard weight config. Shortened to 45.25" and slapped in heavier weights and am a very happy camper. Just gotta ease into my S-013 w/ X-Line. I think the shaft is too stout for my swing.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted December 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 I took a break from the TRPX D-013 to test a variety of other clubs including the Ryoma Maxima, P-tune, Kamui Pro nitro/foam, Legacy Black TA, and a couple of others. It was fun but in the end it came down to the D-013 vs the Crazy 435....Again! I ended up with the D-013 back in the bag it was the 2nd Longest of the bunch (for me) and when teamed with the messenger shaft at 44.5" the most stable considering it's distance. The Crazy 435 came in second, of course because I just like these Jbeam designed heads they produce a good amount of carry and roll but most important to me is stability. I'm a crap driver of the ball so anything that his mid/higher spin rates leaves me left and right. But the Maxima impressed me a lot, the first time around I wasn't all that in awe of the Maxima, but this time it's proven to be the longest consistently in terms of carry. I had it teamed with a stiff flex X-line at 45.5" and nothing could touch it. Then came the Legacy Black TA 9* which has my favorite trajectory and the club with the most roll but it just feels too hard at impact also I'm just not a fan of shafts with adapters. The Kamui Nitro was pretty good too, I tried it with the stock shaft which was a spin machine for my swing but when mated to the Crazy boron it really behaved, the boron is my go to shaft. I expected a little more out of this head than it gave me. Changing the weights on the xXx heads changes the feel as well, heck changing the shafts on any of these heads changes the feel so keep this in mind folks when testing heads. It takes 2-3 re-shafts to really learn the tendency of a head. Most importantly what performed best for me may not perform best for you. Drivers are finicky, Jbeam designed heads seem to be more stable than others. P-tune was pretty stable as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
