supo Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Prob considered an oldie these days but wow, what a driver. this still is. gamed her again last weekend. and didnt miss a beat . ive been driving the ball really well this season, and my foray into mix and match hasnt deminished my seeming ability at the moment to get the driver spot on. only used thsi driver once this year in Guam and i reaslied how good it was but on a really ight driving course its even better. i find it as forgiving as anythung ive got . and well we aknow how consistantly long it is. i dont know why i dont game it more but i made my mind up, in the club champs bect month this will get the driving roll over the ryoma. seriously hell of a head ,ad that combo with the boron is just like thye are amde for each other. if ucan find the pieces out there.., , seriously build one!

chiromikey Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 I cringe each time I reshaft her because the Quadra FEX WBQ works so well...but a boron shaft is about the only combo I still want to try in my 435. I know many disagree but I've always said this head is as forgiving as any other, well maybe except the V-spec...barely. Glad there's at least one person who agrees with me! Have you hit the 535 yet to compare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+TourSpecGolfer Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 You hear that guy's "im kinda done with drivers" we should open a betting pool JBeam 535 Imagine the 435 at 450cc's with better feel and more distance with the same stability.

supo Posted August 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 the direction im headed in at the moment is smaller more comapct , heavier heads the yard .388, kasco DNA 340 , get the majoirty of my time at the moment hen ive got hte ryoma,, the jbean 435 and 425 tour, and a cpl of biguuns the yamaha v 4.6.. the egg 7 ..tm tp burner. thats about it now i do like the look ofthe new beam 535, i gotta say. but its not grabbed me yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiromikey Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 You gotta try one if these sledge hammers that I've been playing lately. Build the heaviest head/sw that you can swing without giving up more than a mph ss. Physics alone dictates this will give you max distance (as long as you can still hit the sweet spot). Not to mention, sound and feel improve immensely with the 435! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted August 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 well the jbeam 435 stinger is sw D6.! its prob close to the most unmoveable driver ive hit, its just like a wrecking ball hitting down, it think my swing speed with it is prob 5 mph slower, but , i certianyl dont loose distance ive built 2 more drivers with steel NS driver shafts at 44 and 43.75 inch to .wait for it........................ hit every fariway there is about 250 yards. so far. its worked well. but im definatly not getting distance records , the weights are 355 adn 352 grams prgr egg 7* and a TMtp burner 9.5* guess were they are headed to live!!!

chiromikey Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 I'm talking...HEAVY! My current 435 sw isn't in the D's...or even the E's...it's F3! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned this year that ball speed comes from the head speed vs head weight vs ball weight and C.O.R and it is proven that a lighter club equals higher initial ball speeds.

chuck4golf Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) This is a topic I have been thinking about .... mass vs speed. I was wondering -if the same mass is in a smaller head, it would seem like it would deflect less at impact. But not worth any loss of head speed, since that speed gets squared (f=mv**2).In your equation, v2 (ball speed) increases if you hold v1 (head speed) constant and increase head weight (M). So it's not that a lighter head = more distance but that if lighter head creates more head speed, then yes. I was thinking that overall weight light from light shaft but heavier head (if it doesn't screw up ss) would be optimal. This assumes hitting the ball on the sweet spot. Mis-hits would suffer. Meaning shorter shaft might be good. (Or not!) Edited August 7, 2014 by chuck4golf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screen Shot 2014-08-06 at 6.47.39 PM.png Simple F=MA dictates that the heavier head delivers more force on the ball and your formula agrees. Knowing that the ball weight and COR are constant, if one maintains head speed, the heavier head equals higher initial ball velocity.The ONLY way a lighter head can yield higher initial ball velocity is if it allows you to gain head speed (but I addressed that in my initial post).

chiromikey Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Not that I haven't tried stiffer shafts but I've always preferred a flex too weak for my ss so this only helped matters. People commenting that my shaft is going to break from my transition gets old though. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiromikey Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) Sweet! Btw, pull them apart into webbing before you stuff them in so if you don't put too many in they don't bounce around and it fills up more uniformly.
