Sldr 430 american vs sldr 430 japan

[david Ad]

Whats the difference besides the looks of these two drivers

[Gamble Gamble]

The JDM one has a flatter lie angle snd slightly more open face. It is a more anti-left club then the American version.

Also, the JDM version sounds more like a hotmelt head at contact, which is great when you mash it.

I assume no significant difference in launch and spin between the two?

Lie angle will affect launch and spin a little bit, but I wouldn't say it's a significant difference. Mostly the looks will be different.

Thanks, I seem to be battling with my JDM 430 in terms of spin (too much) vs my US SLDR 460. The 430 is the 11 degree opened one click vs the 10.5 460 opened 2 clicks. I suspect it is a little swing fault instead.

That's real strange.
I find it the other way around.
Playing the same GD ADDI 6s shaft in my USA 460 and JMD 430 at the same loft I get a much lower trajectory with less spin with the JDM 430.

That's what I thought as well. I will need to keep tinkering with my swing and get back on Flighscope. I will keep this link updated once I get back on it. Thanks.
