But aren't JDM heads also lighter bc they're played with 45.5-46"+ stock lengths? Usdm is 45-45.5" stock length so I imagine they use a heavier head (or weights) to start. Hotmelt changes sound too which I don't particularly like.

Hot melt does change sound for sure, especially the more you add. length depends on the driver model and brand most better players clubs are still sub 46" in Japan.

I have even noticed that in Japan, drivers made for better players quite often come stock at 44.75 and almost never more than 45.

Jordan should bag a 205 !

Jimmie, thanks for your insight on everything, you add lots of good info to this conversation.

I'm pretty sure spieth can hit a 3W 280 consistently. I hit my 16.5* off the tee easily 260-265 consistently and I'm no pro. I haven't put this on a trackman so i don't really know how far it could go. Yes in my club, I hit 4 wood just as far as most folk's driver. Haven't you seen the commercial? "These guys are good."

There are plenty of tour players that aren't that bombers, doesn't mean they aren't "good". I just never considered Spieth to be a long hitter on tour.

Mate, Jordan spieth is one of those decivingly looking player but he is long. He doesn't look like he can hit a bomber but he does. I watched him play live before and his 3 wood can definitely go around 280 yards. He also have no trouble keeping up with big hitters.

I just watched Jordan and Rory hit 3w off tee on TV at Memorial. Jordan ball speed 171mph and carry 292 yards. Rory ball speed 181mph and carry 302 yards. Rory's ball flight was way higher than Jordan's.

Didn't want to bring this up but just wanna show some proof that Jordan can hit 3 wood 280yards without swinging his shoes off. Trackman don't lie.

Getting a bit old but ok. That's obviously downhill, just looking at the photo. On the courses set up for tour play and with fairways running at 12 or something on the stimp, yeah sure. Plus slopes, rolling fairways, yeah anything can happen. So actually, yes Trackman can lie quite a lot depending on circumstances.

Dude, Thai lpg pro, Ariya can hit her 3 wood 280 yards not down hill. This Jordan shot 280 yards carry and his ball speed was 165 mph. Live in Thailand? Go check out Ariya practice at Photalai driving range.

Aria Jutanugarn? I'm a big fan.

Yes. She uses CNX fitting studio at Pothalai Sports club. I see she practices hitting balls like a male golfer. 

BTW, Trackman numbers don't lie. It's a Doppler type not photometric. It either won't pick up shots at all or give out an accurate data.

You said August release right?  Can you put me in touch with a good dealer considering TSG doesn't carry?  I like my 210's but they are huge, especially if I'm gaming P2 instead of 302.
