October 9, 201411 yr Browsing the R&A conforming list of drivers website, I found an interesting Modart head (dubbed the MA01DS), it seems smaller in profile than both the D & S. Could this be a ~420cc head?

Could this be a ~420cc head? modart_ds.png Bingo! nice find! Yes that is their next driver and yes it is adjustable. It will have a different shape but the thing is it's all so early, this and another proto are in the works but I think announcement won't be until Feb :(
October 9, 201411 yr Author Oh, wow, I didn't even pay attention to the hosel (looks like a 910/913'ish adapter). Very interesting :)
October 10, 201411 yr Set to release at the golf show expect 2 new drivers. - 435cc similar to MA01D - 460cc similar to MA01S Adjustable for sure, was talking with Suda-san and he says expect improved performance which I have a hard time imagining as my MA01S is only getting better in time. I'll share the story again: I bought the D & S and tested them side by side against a whole slew of drivers, Very close in performance but went with the S even though the D looks better from address, I went S because out of say 20 shots a small handful had better results due to more forgiveness. Off the start I thought they were just as long as the 455LX and just a touch shorter than the Egg1. Yes I'm a big big big fan of the Egg1 7.5!! But after time with the MA01S and dialing it in I was able to gain courage and begin going after it and it's loooong! had a small shoulder injury so I slapped in a 47" Touale ( yes 47"! ) and swing 85% and it's the longest driver I have ever owned and by doing this went from a fade player to a baby draw player due to shaft choice & spec & swing adjustments. I can hook it if I go 90-95% but I have had enough time with it to know it's not necessary as Its point and shoot at already 80%. Feel of course is sublime on the Modart Woods.
