Just picked this one up at 169, going to another store to grab a 430 with 757 later (sorry for the poor photo).

[attachment=2855866:image.jpg]

The guy at the other store said the 757 was on a 430 head but I guess we'll see. The 430 heads at this store only had 661s . I thought the JDM 460 head was painted differently too but I guess it's just the TP version. Seems like a crapshoot with what stores have. Psyched to try out the Attas!

If I find one of these with the Go Go, I'm not leaving without it. Man that's awesome!

Was in a dicks that has the Go Go 460 and a 661 430 in with the 169.00 closeouts, but they do not have the orange 169.00 sticker........499.00.

I was wrong....I went back and they are priced at 169.00......Bought one and took it back......Hit a few balls with tape and the head did not feel as good or give me the results that the regular 430 did......These things are everywhere by the way.....I went to two dicks in two towns near me, and these are the smaller dicks, and both stores had six or seven.

I hope you like the shaft better than i did.....I hit it in four different heads including the jdm........It felt weak to flex in my opinion but it is kind of sharp looking........I hope it works for you.

They couldn't sell them over there and there are internet threads dedicated to buying them over here.......

More people, including myself will be looking at these for the shafts as opposed to the heads. High dollar shaft with new head for the price of the same closeout driver is not a bad deal.

I threw the Attas in my 10.5 460 head and thought it felt pretty good. I have a pretty easy transition and the shaft felt quite smooth but powerful if that makes sense. I also grabbed the 430 with 757 and will take that to the range soon. Expectations are low for the 430 after having a 10.5 USA version previously and not getting along too well with it, but I think that was more the shaft than anything. The JDM 430 may be the best looking driver head ever.

I am aware. It was just a tongue and cheek comment but it still stands as correct. I am not saying if you are looking for a new speeder or diamana or whatever shaft with that adaptor and or maybe even that head this isn't a good deal. However if you don't mind a second hand shaft, $169 and patience goes a long way shaft wise.

Meh. Over priced shaft and a crap head.

Yeah there's a DSG a mile away from my office and all they had were speeders. Those attas shafts play a touch weaker IMO. I have an Attas 3 in tour stiff and it's CPM's are more in the standard stiff area from my feel. Still worth it when you see how much those shafts retail at!

Ugh, just got back. Picked up one of these.

I just noticed that this 460 SLDR driver isn't the TP version. Does this mean that the Attas shaft is a "made for"? All they had were 9.5* heads and from what I've read on the forums here, with SLDR, better to go up in loft. Will see how this performs in the highest setting against my Ping G30 LS Rogue Silver setup.

 

They also had the Speeder 757 and 661 but only in 430 heads.

While stationed in Korea I had one fitted at the TMaG store with the JDM TP head and a DI 7s shaft. Ultimately went on selling it for something new. The only difference is that the lie angle is a little flatter, toe screw, and the color. Other than that, the club head is still made in China, shaft (varies), assembled somewhere else. It's not like you are getting a club actually forged in Japan, you are getting a club targeted at the Asian market.

Picked up a couple today. a 460 with the w series and a 430 with the 757, both s flex. Just the ho in me. Probably will take them back now that buyers remorse is kicking in and I have zero need for them.

Hah. Same here. Absolutely nothing wrong with my G30 LS Rogue Silver.

Here's another shot of the Attas 5 GoGo shaft. This is why I thought maybe it was a "made for" shaft.

 

Can any of you guys confirm?

 

t9q6Tatl.jpg

What about that makes you think it is a made for shaft?

 

Wobgon, probably just me being paranoid but because it wasn't a TP version which usually comes with the "real deal" shaft and upon seeing the "for shaft" on this, thought it might be a made for.

 

Not familiar with the TM products for Asia.

Just tried the 9.5 at my local DSG with the gogo and one with the diamana. Gogo launched lower and had lower spin. All in all neither is knocking my 910 out of the bag.

Ok, so I lied. Slept on it and went back and bought it. Now for some real world testing. None of the guys in their golf department can believe that it was even available, let alone for $169.

I just picked up the all black 430 driver and the standard finish 3 wood, both with Fujikura speeder 661, for 169$ and 129$ respectively. Kinda cool to see length, loft, lie and swing weight listed on the stickers. The Dick's near me had 4 of the 460s with the attas gogo shafts in them at same price. When I walked in and asked about the price the worker told me they were 499$. I asked him to scan them through they're computer just to be sure (WRXers don't lie I told him) and he nearly pooped when he saw the price. Awesome pickup. Thanks for the tip OP.

Went in to my local DSG and the guys there said "oh yeah we just got those. They had a bunch of leftovers with cheap shafts in them so we took them in. I can't hit it though and they look like they might be counterfeit." I smiled and bought 2.
