Haven't hit it yet, can't wait to. Forged cup face @ 350cc's I'm sure it feels awesome.

These are shipping nice and smooth this week, foaming or hot melt is an option.

very smooth looking, and the deep face makes it look a little bigger than 350cc.

when a certain someone gets done writing their name down on paper and posting in their ad, please give us another great real world user review! ;)

What is the sound difference like when you use hotmelt vs foam?

I have used a foamed head before and it was really muted and made the impact sound like hitting a baseball with a wooden bat.

Have not had a chance to hit a hot melted head before.

This is the ONLY driver to catch my attention since the 435. So good looking! Please hurry with a review.

comment_238382

This with a short, heavy shaft would be a fairway finder all day long

comment_238385

Now this head would look slick with a wood grain pattern paint !!

Im thinking this...

Have a shootout of JDM sub 400cc drivers.

SYARD T.388 VS A GRIND CLASSIC DRIVER.

The T388 is an all time classic IMO.

comment_238390

what size is the t.388? love mine and i guess I always knew it was smaller but didn't think sub 400

I've got an Epon Technity Forged Titan at 380cc that's still pretty long

comment_238396

thats a very intersting comparrion !

the shape of the heads is very differernt ....., by the looks of it.

want to read up on that , .388 one of my all time faves.

comment_238399

I love the 388 as well.

And by chance I scored an old Epon Technica from a very good friend. It is sensational as well.

And, this certainly catches my eye.

I am glad I am not the only one to be so impressed with the a Grind

comment_238400

EZone 380 and my beloved Tourstage P02-6 ( 365cc ) needs to be in the mix as well!

Oh, and don't forget the Titleist 983K (350cc) including the H-Cr model.

Surprisingly Epon Zero does not qualify!! ( 415cc )

That 380CC Epon head is the longest hitting EPON driver Ive hit when pured. The T.388 though beat it out for pure perfomance and more forgiveness.

comment_238410

I do like the smaller looking driver heads. My last driver was a Blond Persimmon from Presion Golf - San Diego.

I wonder how the a-grind would look shafted in 7D gold. I don't normally like gold except white, but it might go with a retro style.

Today I had more game time with the 350 using it's second shaft, first shaft tested was Crazy Type B which is a phenomenal shaft but a little too tip stiff and fade inducing when combined with this head. Next was the TRPX Touale which is softer, higher launching and I'm very familiar with it in multiple heads. And while it was higher launching, easier to draw I think my conclusion is that this A-Grind head is not as long as most drivers but easily finds the fairway better.

Grades :)

Distance = C

Forgiveness = D+

Appearance = A+

Trajectory = B+

Dispersion = A-

Feel = B-

Overall = C

How could a driver a "fairway finder" with foregivness = D???

Just one mans "opinion" that's all.

fairway finder as in tight dispersion, low spin and easy to hit straight, forgiveness is a whole other subject like off center, toe and heel shot distance and dispersion.

comment_239246

That and a driver can find fairways and still be unforgiving if it loses a lot of ball speed on misses. Personally speaking I don't find forgiving drivers to be that much straighter or more crooked than unforgiving drivers, I just tend to notice larger dropoffs in distance when I miss.

Or this example: lots of people find Ping G30s hard to square because the head is so enormous, and lose them right a lot. Now that's the most forgiving mainstream driver in the world. But for those people the retained ball speed just puts them even further in the right rough, or OB. Is that forgiveness?
