Posted June 7, 201410 yr comment_226093 In the relentless search for the longest club, what are the latest trends / hits in the non-conforming world? Are the Maxima STs conforming? Quelot or S Yard Stark any good?
June 7, 201410 yr comment_226094 I saw the S-yard Stark back in around October last year so it's definitely not the newest. According to what I've seen in the forum and online store I would say Maxima ST and KW Air are the latest non-conform driver.

June 8, 201410 yr comment_226125 The maxima st I got from tsg is the longest driver I've ever had... I'm in the same boat, it took me a while but I have no doubts its one of the longest ever made. We have technical info from factory swing robots (we can't share so don't ask) what I can say is that the Maxima ST has set the benchmark. There is a longer club but I'm pretty sure few here would buy it.

June 8, 201410 yr comment_226135 Any suggestion on the shaft that best suit Maxima ST? As with the Maxima Type V, do you need a low launch low torque shaft? Is CB46 or the Crazy Boron good? Thanks.

June 8, 201410 yr comment_226141 Yes, pls share this "longer club" Also, any feedback on those non conforming drivers you mentioned Chris? Sound/feel? I have hit them all except the ROYAL COLLECTION. My short take. Royal Collection XVP - Not hit. Honma Amazing Spec 480 - Fun club to hit. Great carry, forgiving, springy face, plays neutral. but Head is offered in one loft. 11.5 Only one shaft flex R , either feather shaft or the ARMRQ Q Armrq shaft would be perfect for mid 80s to low mid 90s smooth tempo swing. I had to dial back, but when timed I hit some great high carry shots. Geotech RF800 Alpha - Super low spin low launch, hard off the face. This is a hitters club. If you dont have the firepower it will be tough to handle. Quelot RE14 Alpha - Great all around club head, Crisp feel at impact, Forgiving. I hit a nice mid high controlled draw similar to the original Glorie. I havent hit the wow factor shot, but for control and all around performance and overall distance this is a top notch club.

Thanks much for the feedback. In terms of sounds, are they all equally as loud?
June 9, 201410 yr comment_226171 Thanks much for the feedback. In terms of sounds, are they all equally as loud? None of the above clubs had a loud sound. IN terms of feel and sound, tHe Honma was the softest, QUELOT, a crisp sound and feel, the RF 800 hard feel and clanky sound.
