WRX Spotlight: Daiwa GIII Signature Driver

WRX_Spotlight · March 27, 2019

**Product:** Daiwa GIII Signature Driver

**Pitch:** From Daiwa: “Using their own GIII Neo Titanium Face allows GIII Signature Driver to achieve the Highest COR rating in their history. The new face combined with Double Power Trenches (Toe and Heel sides) create a “Double Repulsion Area”, an expanded sweet spot with more powerful spring effect and more forgiveness. DAIWA’s carbon technology fill the new SVF EX III shaft, creating a lightweight, strength, feel and maximum performance.”

Our take on the Daiwa GIII Signature Driver

Admittedly, this is a different kind of feature. We don’t expect many of our readers out there to bag this club, but when you see a beauty like this in the wild, you have to talk about it. This club is for the person that not only has everything but wants everything. This high-COR, Japan-inspired design and some amazing attention to detail that will perhaps get you to ignore the price tag.

Oh, and did we mention it’s made with real gold accents?

Didn’t know they were using the Daiwa name any longer. It seems everything was under the OnOff name in the past several years.

So what's the COR rating?

Can you remove the head and slap on a spincast reel?

If you click on the "read more" in the original post , it says .875 ( .830 is conforming )...

Back around the year 2000 when I saw the first list of non-conforming list Daiwa had 2

of their drivers on the list.....along with the Golfwell Tour Pro Forma that I was playing.

Ahh thank you. Didn't Wishon have a head a few years ago that had a COR rating of .90?

I think it was around 0.89 something, very close to 0.9. Triple variable face. I have seen a person using the previous model of G III on FlightScope, did not gain any ball speed comparing to his Callaway. Can't see how the price is justified unless it gives you 50 yards more distance.
