neova Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Honma TW717 430 (summer) Kamui KP-X (winter) Honma is very satisfying and has a noting flight but the Kamui is way more fun to hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordimnorred Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Yamaha 4.6V for last two seasons. I recently bought my 4th one (thanks Hutchy). As fun to play as you can get. Very interesting to see how many are on this list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluejays Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 I am addicted to Romaro heads, rotating between the Type R, Alpha and 460 Gold, sold my type r earlier but had to get it back as I miss the soft feel! Alpha is the most forgiving and straight though with more metallic sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lone Ranger Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 M1 ... Nothing gets near Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bankbank Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 haha, i have to second the M1. went to watch the thailand golf championship the other day, half of the pros were using the m1. Of course, it doesnt mean the driver is the best out there, just cool to see myself using the same gear, LOL. And i also noticed their settings were mostly standard.. no shifting of weights around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLL33 Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Every now and then I'll hit a USDM driver in a store just for smiles, and to remind myself of the junk I've left (way) behind. Recently tried the so-called M1 and, bells and doo-da's aside, it felt like your typical hollowed out US parking meter on the end of a fishing rod. Numbers weren't even in the same ballpark as any of the JDM stuff I bag. Doo-da, doo-da, day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gian11 Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Perhaps Taylormade M1 is not for everyone. I gamed it but I never like the feel...JDM drivers are still the best for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted December 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 oooooh I forgot one... kamui pro tp -07 I dunno what it is about this thing m but its massive. not the most forgiving .but man oh man ,mi fi play a long course with fast ,wide fairways, this thing is automatic, I thnk its the longest sigl piece ive had built. granted some of the long uns go kilometers over fences, into cows, light poles, sheep, but the thng is, they go miles! this and the crazy sounding astro tour are the big guns.

bankbank Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 hear so many positive thkngs on the kamui, never actually tried one. i know no one who owns one, unfortunately. but it does look like a beast tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madboarder Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Got a crazy 450 9o With a FireExpres proto SX in it this week. Was going to shaft it up with old mate cb80 8.2 but the as is set up is working! The proto SX is @280 FM sort of stiff enough. Cheers Hutchy!

RLL33 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 I forgot one, too. Epon Zero-Kai. I haven't had time to find the perfect shaft for this one, but it's got a great feel. More Jag or Rolls type feel to it, whereas my gamers tend to be Porsche or BMW. An elegant killer, I'd call it from first impressions.

FyteOn Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 9.5* jBeam 435 - Crazy LaBomba Tour Black I have a jBeam ZY-11 getting shafted with a Basileus AAA today and will be in the bag tomorrow. Both heads and both shafts were purchased here on BST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbird902 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Hit most out there but I keep coming back to my trusty Japan SLDR 460 9.5 w/ attas 5 gogo. Nothing compares distance wise with this thing for me. Some will say its not forgiving but there is plenty for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamen Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 I've tried a few JDM woods but somehow I went back to USDM for their woods. Currently gaming an M1 and loving it along with the fairway. Irons and wedges I will stick to JDM forged; slowly breaking my way in to the JDM club.

supo Posted December 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 the old epon zero was a beast as well ,but it wasn't the easiest head to get along with, ive heard the kai s a much easier one ? heres an oldy but a beauty.... 2009 46d onoff head. if there has been an easier to hit head ever id like to see it!

RLL33 Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 It's odd, the reason I brought up the cars, tHe way I can describe it at the moment is it's like it has more power steering in its feel. Feel is bigger, heavier, cushy-er, but smooooooth. Ball definitely jumps off the face though. Big deep sound too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donnieu Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Since the .830 rule in 2002, I have tended to stay a few years behind the curve. I've tried various others, including 3 Kamui, but still sticking with the 2011 Onoff Type S. I also have the '12 Type S which looks and plays about the same. But a big difference in feel. '11 much softer feel. I've tried 4 different shafts with the Ezone 450, but usually launching too high. But I haven't given up on it yet. In fact I bought 2 more 9 degree so I could test and compare 3 shafts at the range in same session with same heads. These are going for peanuts on the used market. Don't understand why, as I get a very consistent control fade with it, and decent distance, but not quite as long as the Onoff. I'm hoping for this to be my "control" driver.

Mob Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 You obviously have to keep in mind I am a lefty, so my JDM options are extremely limited. That being said: my current gamer: Callaway 816 DBD. This is an unbelievable driver, at least for me. I like a muted sound and a "softer feeling" face. Also very low spin. It just seems to work with my swing, as I find it forgiving, even though it wouldn't be described that way. Other favorites: -Ryoma D1 Maxima- Great all round driver. -Callaway FT Tour- One of the original low spin driver heads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laudney Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Among all the drivers I have, Romaro 455LX Type R stands out to be exceptional. The shape of the head boosts confidence at address. I can easily work it with a draw or power fade (unlike JBeam 535 or ZY-11 which I can only bomb straight). Its shallow face makes the ball super easy to launch with the right amount of backspin at just 2000 to allow optimal carry. When you absolutely, positively, got to hit every fairway or work every dogleg, accept no substitute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
