supo Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) AGRIND WITH DIAMANA THUMP. 75 s hmmmmmmmmmm this was a beast. !!!! the thump is NOT for everyone, in fact its prob for the very few. only a 75 s ( I normally use an 83 x in my 3 woods..,)but brother doies this thing pack a punch, im not exactly what ud call a gentle hitter, I like to give I t he pill a bit of welly thru the ball. but man this was asking all ihad. the shape is terrirfc. its compact and sleek, but not like the egg nor the ryoma (which are my irrrpelacable gamers) its DEFINITELY a club for moving about. although ,with the shaft I had in it that wasn't really happeneing...... (suggest something easier!!!!) at address it looks all business, icud imagine shots and (with a proper shaft) id be able to do it no problems with this shape. I hit a cpl from the tee and they were great but the sleekness isn't what id go for for a tee shot. same as the egg (original). the mid high kick on the thump really lends itself to the stronger player for everyones reference.. impact was good ,its not an endo feel, its a muted thump. I found distance too be pretty good. without being in the record league.. the egg and ryoma have that sown up ad infinitum. but it was good . I liked this head.. its a pretty darn good all rounder. much more sao than the origina legg nad maybe even the ryoma. its like a modern version of the royal collection bbd which is a JDM LEGEND HEAD. ID PROB GO FOR IT but im not sure over the current 16.5* egg which is my amex wood( dont leave home withjout it ) but if it were a choice of just one wood this wud be righ near the top of my cosiderations think they did a good job with this thing, I think its prob aimed at the better player. good wood., thumbs .....

RLL33 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Thanks for another great review, S. Can I ask, since I know you've hit both, how would you compare it to the XV ? Mine is starting to show some age. I've got that new Grandista on the way, and it was between that and the A-Grind for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supo Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 ahh yes good question., these two look pretty similar, forgot about that one. dated prob isn't justified, but in our group I get ur meaning!!! well. the agrind is like a compact syard. very similar looks but the agrind has a really distinctive concave face and the syard not so much it looks more square or flat th syard is bigger and loks easier to hit ffrom a tee. the a grind looks like ita for scrath markers and the syard loks like its for over scratch.. that's my take o nthem the syard was more forgiving I think but both are territifc fwds.

supo Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 thump fw is GOOD.. but id suggest going a weight and flex down. ive got an egg 15* with the thump 65s....... and ill be blowed if I can get near overpowering it!!!! yea its low launching tho so bear that in mind. id prob not put this into a 13* egg.................................... but for a 16.5* or 17* it wud me all time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
