+TourSpecGolfer Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 My new fairway has been in play for 3 full rounds and a couple of range sessions. I've had great shots as well as some not so great so I feel confident I can now write my opinion on these. It's the Modart MA01F, first thing I'll say is I'm happy it's available in 14* with such a shallow face. When I first met Suda-san he told me it's an anti-left design, yet it gets up easily while not ballooning (depending on shaft of course) The body is 17-4 Stainless Steel with a very thin 455 maraging steel face - so in other words it's made of the same great materials most of our favorite woods are already made of. The design is what really makes the MA01F a sleeper. I love the shallow face FW's especially since the XV by SYD and that was the club I wanted to compare it to most which I will do, just need some time. I shafted her with my favorite Crazy FW80 LaBomba, I'm so sad this shaft is no longer available and that many of my Crazy favorites are on the way out btw. This combo is a killer, I've been getting easy up mid trajectory straight bullets but bullets with a nice apex at it's peak. It's definately a medium trajectory with this shaft and while it's not as muted as the XV it has a very hot pop sound to it rewarding no doubt. In regards to distance, Im getting the same as my Ryoma F2, I'm very familiar with my home courses holes and off the tee or off the fairway both were dead equals. I get more roll from the Ryoma and more carry from the modart. Both had FW80's in the same flex installed. the 14* modart has roughtly the same distance as the 15* Ryoma an was longer than the 15* XV. Anyway that's it for now. will post more findings later and in the meantime if anyone has more questions let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpbachman Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Such a beautiful club. I love and will miss the FW80 LaBomba as well (gaming that in my 203). How limited are the LaBomba versions now and what do you mean about some of your favorite Crazy's are headed out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How limited are the LaBomba versions now and what do you mean about some of your favorite Crazy's are headed out? Crazy FW80 in most flexes, UT in all flexes, most of the hottest Crazy shafts we have grown to love are nearly sold out as the brand becomes "Single B". Some of the members are buying them all up now because they won't be available again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpbachman Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 So, Chris, pardon my ignorance, when you mention they will be "Single B", does that mean focusing solely on some of their Royal Dec shafts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand they are working on all new shafts and equipment. Toyoshima is still involved, not sure if he is the pres. or what but that tells me we should see more than just shafts, wedges and irons hopefully too.

Craig Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Must admit the Modart woods and utility look as good as anything I have ever seen Have heard good reports on the Driver but this is the first I have heard reviews on the FW To ne compared to the Ryoma FW is no mean feat. Also a shame that some of the best and most popular Crazy stuff is no more. Hopefully they will continue to produce proven performers.
