Anybody able to provide spin/distance comparison numbers for Ryoma fairways F2/F3 or F5 compared to the lower spinning USDM models eg Srixon Zx or Sim Ti?  I read that Ryoma is supposed lower spinning, but been able to find any numbers.

Anyone game the F2?

I had one for a while. 44 inch with a Crazy Nero 7.7. Very distinct sound with good distance.

Gonna try a MK1 F2 at 43" with an Attas 4u 7x. TM's new mini driver was too expensive, so I thought I's give this a go. Should be quite forgiving with a head size at 220cc. If this works then I may have to try a D1 Maxima Type-V........in 8.5!

I had a F2 in my bag 4-5 years ago for several months. I did not see much different other than a hair low ball flight than the F3. 

In my opinion, F5 is so far the best FW ever made by JDM brand. 

If the works out I'll certainly look for the 5 wood head too.

I agree Vic. F2 is lower ball more forgiving. Good mini driver Ian. F5 with FW80. no need for a 3w.

Yeah. I hit a lot of second shots in Par 5 with F5, better direction control and no issue on distance. FW80 is the same one I put in!!!

This F2 maybe a little light for me at the moment. Weight of 329g @ 43". SW is around D0. Some lead tape needed. Seems to go a little more left than I'd like too.
