RLL33 Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 In the department of "I think I have a driver for life, but tempt me anyway," I got to hit the Yamaha RMX Tour over the weekend thanks to Chris and TSG. Probably don't have to say, but my bag baby is the T.388 with Seven Dreamers d-shaft in it. And for me, that's about as good as it gets. But I have to add, and quickly, this Yammy rocks, as Chris and Michael have said before me. It sets up nicely for a guy who loves smaller head drivers. It's 440cc, but looks deceptively smaller. I prefer the stealth black of the T388 to the glossy finish of the Yammy, but with its red trim and nicely inlayed layers, this club is dangerous looking. Combined with the red Speeder shaft and a great head cover to boot, it looks like a serious weapon. And performs like one. It passed my "hit it 3 times" test with flying colors. By the third hit, the ball was flying. Off the face, you get a nice springy pop. Titanium is just different, and those who respond to its feel will love this Yammy. Pop, pop, smack! By the 5th hit, it bumped up another level to the kind of THWACK that definitely drew attentive looks on the range and is music to my ears. Great sound! Great feel! Springy but in a controllable way mixed with firm, as if to formula, which I'm sure it is. And definitely great distance. Ball was smacking well up on the screen sitting at 230. One almost flew over. Good straight ball flight, too. Nice and penetrating, and somewhat higher than the T388. I didn't get to play with any adjustments, but those are there, too, in the form of wrench and weights. On my list of everything that isn't the T.388, this driver moves to the top. (Nice to know somewhere in the back of my mind that should something ever happen to... Nah, don't want to even say it... ) Thanks, Chris, and thanks, Yamaha! Top notch driver! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
