gus Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 I haven't seen much chatter on this driver, I know the looks aren't for everyone but I kinda like it. General feedback would be appreciated, I'm also partial to open faced setups so I'm looking for information on setup looks in the RIGHT adaptor position. Also, what is the stock length? Thanks fellas...BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gus Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 If I can get the right setup I will snap pictures and do a review for you guys so hold tight, I think the tech in this driver merits the experiment...BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 You are right, the GR is no joke, even the GR Forged irons are solid. I would play this GR driver over the X-Series just because it's easier to hit. Standard length is 45.5", need a good price lmk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gus Posted June 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 You know Chris I've been around golf and golf equipment for a long time and I find it strange to see so many drivers built around forward center of gravity and LOW spin. I pride myself on being a pretty decent stick and my swingspeed/ballspeed is pretty legit however I'm a low spin player and find it increasingly hard to support the belief that loft alone can produce superior numbers. I think we are quickly approaching a time where SPIN will be the missing link for many players to gain distance AND control. Just my thoughts, drivers like the GR which support higher launch and mid spin fit far more players than many might suggest...BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the JDM deep faced drivers especially the player models fly very straight with low spin even more so than USDM drivers but really thats just a band aid, the Ryoma Maxima is a good example of the opposite, it's all about the upward angle of your strike and how square the face is at impact, those are the basics for almost any driver and those who have it get long bombs with the Maxima while those who don't get wild shots. Now think about the Crazy 435, lets take feel out of the equation and it becomes obvious why people love it so much, it's tame with good distance and people will take tame with good distance over not as tame but very good distance. I'm with you on the spin, it helps most people big time but if the swing is off low spin does help keep it in play. I don't have a technically sound swing so I fall on the side of low spin with my driver selection but that said I'm well aware that my best distance is with a good swing and optimal spin on the ball.
