February 26, 201510 yr Mine's being shafted up now. Can't wait to hit it. It does have quite the footprint. Think S-yard with a shallow face. It's beautiful, too - love the sole.
February 27, 201510 yr Author Smaller than the Ryoma for sure but they both have that rounded look imo.
February 27, 201510 yr What is the exact head volume, I'm guessing between 156 - 180cc? Ryoma F3 is 215cc if I'm not mistaken. Love the look!
February 28, 201510 yr Author this vs the Agrind? A-Grind is totally different, can't compare the two. A-Grind is really like a players RC wood. The Glorious FW has another contender, the new upcoming RomaRo Alpha which is another high launch low spin wood, not as round either but one to go head to head with. In the end knowing Jbeam woods I think the Glorious should come out on top.
March 1, 201510 yr Great club! It's only slightly smaller than the Ryoma F3. Hard to tell from my crummy pic. JBeam on the bottom. It's also slightly shallower than the Ryoma. But I like the JBeam better. Feel is much more solid. Even easier to hit off the deck.
March 1, 201510 yr dkats, thanks for posting comparo pics. mind posting a comparison pics of the face to see how much shallower it is? thanks!
March 1, 201510 yr Hows the distance compared to the Ryoma? Also is the Ryoma totally neutral face or very slightly closed like the Maximia?
March 1, 201510 yr dkats, thanks for posting comparo pics. mind posting a comparison pics of the face to see how much shallower it is? thanks! So Ijust measured the face height of both. The JBeam face height is actally 1 mm taller, 32 mm vs 31 mm for the F3. Sorry about my mistake earlier. I think the top of the JBeam face is more curved so overall it looked shallower. The Ryoma topline is very flat if that makes sense.
March 1, 201510 yr Hows the distance compared to the Ryoma? Also is the Ryoma totally neutral face or very slightly closed like the Maximia? I haven't taken them both out together to do a head to head. Both are very long. And both three woods look neutral to me.

March 2, 201510 yr Looks like JBeam is bigger than I thought. Is there anyone know volume specs ? It's a big club. But it hides it fairly well. I was surprised when I compared it to the Ryoma and it was almost as large. It is also easier to hit off the deck. The sole design seems to allow it to make less contact with the turf then the F3.

March 2, 201510 yr Is the Glorious as long as the F3 off the deck ? It's long, but I haven't hit both head to head. I'll try this weekend.
March 28, 20159 yr Can anyone help with the size/volume of the head? Can't find it anywhere, even their own website....
