Try a XXIO Twinsole AX driver - if you don't mind a closed face. I guarantee you will notice a difference. Can be found cheap on Ebay - just sold mine for about $100 to a member here.

James Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 How big are the head size of the JVS and K? And where can they be bought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxio Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 R300 Tour are on closeout in SE Asia. NEW around $210 for the YS6/Mitsu shafts and $240 for the ones with the 757. Doesn't feel tinny as most non conforming drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alohano Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 First, get one that is NOT on the non-conforming list. Then it's up to you and your definition of "legal". So you know, there are many, many models that are non-conforming and NOT on the list. That said, XXIO 350cc is very long and straight. I used it until it was placed on the list. That would be my suggestion and the prices are very good right now. For cheap, I used a Wilson PF420st with a Fuji Six that was incredibly long. I am presently using a model by an American company that is NOT TM, Titleist, Callaway that is working the best for me. I am not saying the model as I wouldn't want it placed on the non-conforming list from raising eyebrows here. But that one is also long, straight and cheap.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Taylormade CTi Driver is very long and forgiving. Id really like an 8.5 with a 60g aftermarket shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+TourSpecGolfer Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Its a 460cc head with a carbon crown the shape is more XR05-03-R7 style, Its high hitting and the 8.5 plays like a 9.5 but with a tipped Fuji 569 or 661 or perhaps a Graphite Design W60 this driver is a killer. retail on a TM CTi is over 110,000yen. The shaft cant be custom ordered by TM so I suggest you find a pull to save $$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what would a driver like that set me back?? Dual function driver - play golf with it and then when tired of it, remove the crown and use as a pot (crown could also serve as a frying pan) - this thing is huge! :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dav Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 X-drive 350s are selling at very reasonable prices. Probably not that 'hot' but its probably my favorite driver. Or try Cobra Unlimited Series- very hot faces these have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wongyew Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 try yamaha inpres. the latest new inpres could be 0.87 COR I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanium Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 XR-03 also available in the market with reasonable price. I think the head size is perfect for me. Shaft might be a bit whippy but if you SS is not exceed 105, TM plus S or X should be OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaft might be a bit whippy but if you SS is not exceed 105, TM plus S or X should be OK Oh yeah I forgot about the XR03. That is on major clear out. Something like $155 new. And it's not that game improvement. The 8.5 X flex I had was a very good "players" club. Square face played like a YS 6 X shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
