+TourSpecGolfer Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 The entire series of Alpha woods contains the same DNA, easy to hit, long, very straight forgiving and higher launching I think that wraps it up nicely it's forged cup face and stainless 17-4 body make for a satisfying sound at impact. I'm hitting this club now with the TRPX Red Hot Fairway Wood Type-S Shaft, the launch is high and it gets up effortlessly which is great for a 3 wood this combo produced high draws with very long distance, in testing we noticed sweepers making the best most consistent contact I think because the sole is longer it glides against the grown for longer. Steeper swings had a little bounce off the ground at times this is a similar situation with the Ryoma D1 Fairway Woods. nice metal pop that isn't loud but nor soft it's forged feeling and very satisfying, better than most. Looking down at it you can tell it's got size although its really not the biggest it's 190cc's in the #3 and 178/#5W - 169/#7W- 169/#9W. Because its so thin and flattened out one could say it's actual volume remains low. it's got all the goods, variable sole thickness, variable face thickness, this one is high tech so if your looking for a low spin, high launch, easy to get up, forgiving and long fairway wood it could be the ticket. shaft is important and the TRPX Red hot did not disappoint although I had to slow the swing down and smooth my tempo this combo produces as much if not more distance than me swinging full with my other 3 wood which is a Modart 14 w/ FW80 or A-Grind 14 w/FW80Regenisis. RomaRo Alpha UT: Below you have the new Alpha UT, not much to say other than it's similar in design to the fairway wood, it's got the same technology and materials Forged Cup, Variable thick everything and made for the same type of performance high launch, low spin. Made available in 18/21/24/27 they also have a square face angle. I shafted this one up with the TRPX UT-7 which is a dedicated hybrid shaft that is really stable and firm feeling in softer flexes. It's slightly firmer in sound and feel than the fairway wood which is due to the smaller head size, it gets up easily and does remind of the Type-R by Romaro which by comparison flies lower has a deeper face but still has a unique ability to clip the ground perfectly making it easy.
