PxExG Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Pure Facts: Model: Tourstage 2003 MARU SPEC US-Drive Loft: 8.5* (marked) 8.75* (actual) Face Angle: Square to .5* open Shaft: Fujikura Speeder 652 Stiff (Black Janapese) Length: 44" Swingweight: D4 Grip: Golf Pride Players Softie Cord Round Condition: 9.5/10 Headcover included. A note on the condition - I got the MARU at Easter and it was pretty much brand new. I played 5 rounds of golf in Portugal and hit maybe 10 balls with it in Ireland. Thats it! So I think 9.5/10 is a fair reflection on it. Now the subjective review begins: This driver is NOT for the 18 handicapper looking for the next big thing. It is for the player looking for possibly the best looking head of modern times. Its 370cc with a deep face with jet black metallic paint & no alignment aid on top. Performance wise it is just as long as the R510 DF, 983E, GBII etc. (providing it fits you) My personal opinion - its the best driver out there if you want to eliminate the left side of the course. I honestly do not find it impossible to hit, I would have flipped it a lot faster if that was the case. Ari finds this to be the best driver for a hooker/strong player. For me, I am a "short" hitter, only get it out there 260yards so I need to draw it. This is like the DF for me in that I find it hard to turn it over. That is pretty much the only reason I am not keeping this club in the bag. Finally story - solid Tour quality driver... handpicked from Tourstage Tour van for square face, heavy head weight (note D4 @44") superb looking. Make me offers! And in reference to my "Tour Drivers!" post - trades are possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
