Posted September 24, 20159 yr comment_247588 Saw a picture of a Ryoma Beyond Power driver face. There are no groves in it. What gives? First time I've seen a driver face that is 100% smooth?
September 24, 20159 yr comment_247592 Thats funny, the beyond power driver is the same Maxima head for the past few years and only shaft is the difference. Both my two Maxima have 'groves'. Perhaps you should attach the picture you have seen.
September 24, 20159 yr Author comment_247594 Follow this link to one on sale at japan auction. look at the face picture...no groves Looks like real maxima Edited September 24, 20159 yr by TourSpecGolfer
September 24, 20159 yr comment_247595 The driver face has been shaved and I believe the seller stated that it is now non conforming.
September 24, 20159 yr comment_247597 Face shaving like that is risky business, also for the price that driver is in horrible condition, better deals in the b/s/t.
September 24, 20159 yr Author comment_247622 It's non-conforming before it was shaved Thank you Chris, I thought this was peculiar. would think that face shaving is really risky on this driver head, given that it is a special tuning model Edited September 24, 20159 yr by White03
September 24, 20159 yr comment_247625 Strange....there was one for sale with a Maxima ST head but it seems to have been removed. Perhaps sold already.
September 24, 20159 yr comment_247626 Place a WTB ad I know someone had one recently. Great shaft & Driver but yes your right special tune + face shave = breakage. Special Tune is already not suited for 100mph+ speeds.

October 11, 20159 yr comment_248505 Not sure why companies our scoring lines on drivers other than people are used to seeing them...they serve no purpose... I believe they impact spin rates and wet club faces, I'm told it depends on the head design as to what the groves do or don't do in relation to performance. Anyone know for sure?
October 11, 20159 yr comment_248506 SMT, a US component company, made a few driver heads with no grooves about 5 to 10 years ago. SMT O2, SMT 455, SMT Encore...
October 11, 20159 yr comment_248512 Same for Krank heads, no grooves. Actually, I think I read somewhere that many "grooves" aren't really grooves ie actual dents in the metal but rather just burnt in score lines.
