604_skyline Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Is it safe to say the general consensus is that the JBEAM is one of if not the longest head out there that you can get? I am really torn between which to get....I know the MA01DS is brand new and there is virtually no feedback on it yet, but.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 So I believe the 435 is longer because so many TSG'ers say it is BUT based on MY results my Modart MA01D at 46.75"w/TRPX...lol without any doubt I have had longer drives. I'm sure the shaft plays a major role but still. I play the same course at least 3 times a week, not always 18 sometimes just 3-4 holes and most often the same 3-4 holes so I know them very very well. MA01D is still the only driver that has allowed me the chance to drive one of the greens on a short par 4 and I'm not a long hitter. That said I'm waiting for 7D shafts on a black out and ZY-11 both distance options and based on what our clients say about the "distance option" 7D shafts it should be longer. MA01DS with a square face is still considered slightly anti left by Suda-san, actually all Modart woods are. In my bag I also can't shake the MA01F or MA01H and in that case I know those aren't the longest but for me with Crazy UT Black and Crazy FW80 it's the best feeling, cleanest contact, most reliable woods I have hit. P.S Crazy has the new FW80 Regensis coming soon, It's better than the original, I hit them side by side on the LM at Crazy Tokyo last month very similar, smoother feel in the new and just a hair higher with the same head, loft, build.

604_skyline Posted March 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Chris, what are the options with regards to the modart ma01ds? in terms of loft and face angle? how open could Suda-san get the face? if I wanted a modart ma01ds 9.5* with 1.5* open face is that possible?

Like hand pick specs? Maybe .5 open If you require 1.5* open for sure go JBeam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck4golf Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Chris, have you had the chance to explore the DS any more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Chris, have you had the chance to explore the DS any more? No I'm stuck testing all the new Honma gear right now, with 4 drivers, 4 irons, FW + UT it's taking a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck4golf Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 For all of us who want your job "stuck testing Honma" sounds like a great way to spend the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpbachman Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I have to back Chris up on definitely the Modart D (for me) and the Modart hybrid and woods. Yes, I *might* have had longer drives with the 435 but I am much more consistent with the D (similar profile, maybe a tad deeper but a tad more forgiving and just a great feel). The hybrid & woods, someone will have to bury them with me (literally, if Modart stops selling those or Crazy stops producing the F80, I am screwed :) The new Crazy FW sounds awesome BTW! With the 435, D or S, I don't think you can go wrong, just depends on what you are looking for. I think all of them will be as long as each other with the right contact...

chuck4golf Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I think I am going to buy the 435 at 11*. I am hedging the bet with more loft. I had a Nakashima 440 once at 13* and sold it because it sounded like a cat in heat but it was really long and playable. Boring, high trajectory is my expectation. We'll see.
