Japanese Woods and Utility

[Guest]

Hi Guys,

I'm after a new 5 Wood and 3 Hybrid. Can anyone recommend an easy to hit and forgiving club in either category? The more help I can get the better!?

If you don't mind super light weight then try Maruman Shuttle series woods and Ryoma hybrid. If you are looking for performance side, IMO - there are not much better than global gears.

Thanks. Tourspec recommended the bb4. I'm now trying to decide what shaft. My last woods fitting was ping so I was put into the Alta fw in regular.

I've tried googling global gears are they a head manufacturer?

I am enjoying the Bridgestone JGR hybrids with the Recoil shafts. Easy to hit, great feel, and excellent shot quality.

Sorry to make you confused, what I meant by "global" is just any common USDM brands.

Ah, ok. Lol. Some of these JDM have weird names so I assumed that was one of them

?

I have a Honma TW 727 18. Here's a link:http://www.progolf.it/media/pdf/Catalogo_2016.pdf

Forgiving and long but huge are the Ryomas. So many others as well. Proceed with DAT 55 face. A tad less forgiving. Muziik DU really good. Modart also very good and under-rated. A Grind has several models. Itobori, probably some of the most forgiving out there and cool looking if you like that kinda look.

Thanks, I've heard great things about Ryoma. I'll take a closer look.

[Guest]

If you do, please post a review. They look very interesting indeed, I'm tempted to visit them next time I am in Tokyo...

Long and forgiving. Just be ready for a massive size head.

[Guest]

More forgiving than e.g. the TM Sim Max?

[LionGolfer]

Wouldn;t know. I don't play USDM.
