February 14, 201510 yr RomaRo's new flagship driver has mid spin, high launch with a forged cup face, it's designed with a focus on distance where the Type R series is geared to players who require less spin. I think I may need to bring launch down so I'll be testing it in 9.5 first with the standard shaft, looks good though and RomaRo has been working on this one for a couple of years almost twice as long as they have worked to produce any other driver in their history. On a side note wait till you see the profile on the Ray Alpha Fairway Woods, This one could give the Ryoma D1 FW a run for it's money. Enjoy the pics!
June 13, 201510 yr Wow, that is a shallow face... does look almost like a deep 3 wood. I like the shape and design of the head. Looking forward to a first review.
June 14, 201510 yr Way too shallow for me. I had an HX460 last year. How can they go from such a deep face design to something as shallow as a 3 wood?
July 12, 201510 yr Author Way too shallow for me. I had an HX460 last year. How can they go from such a deep face design to something as shallow as a 3 wood? It's for a different type of player, 455 Type R would be the one to consider or the original HX if you seek a particular face depth. Alpha/Type-R/Ray are 3 different series of clubs.
