Flog....I've gotta give you credit - I'd of been shocked if you recommended anything other than Miura....I appreciate a loyal guy. But let's get to something really important.....when are you guys gonna go ahead and put out the K grind wedges in lofts other than 56. I don't mean the special order stuff...I mean on the website, call you guys up and have one three days later?????

FWIW, I'd second the motion on the SIT460 (and I have nothing to do with Miura other than being a customer converted to loyalist by quality I can feel and see right in front of me). I use the irons, wedges, the hybrid, and now the driver, too. I first posted here about the driver by saying it was difficult to describe the feel of hitting with it, but that the best description was what is written right on the head -- "Strong & Ideal Trajectory."

I've since played many rounds and hit with it many times on the range, and I would say that SIT inscription has not only held true, but it has grown. This driver is long, penetrating, and maybe most important to me, incredibly straight. There's no adjusting to be done with weights and screws and hosel twisting. This thing just flies and flies straight. I'm hitting more fairways with greater distance. And I've really become fond of the sound that a well struck drive can make with something as unique to my ear as hitting with their irons.

How long are you guys playing this driver, 46"? The head seems light enough that you would have to play it at 45.5 or 46" to have enough swing weight.

There is a port within the hosel if you were interested in adding weight

Well then I'm gonna have to look at that driver again then!

And that circle K is custom? I have that on my 1957 blades I recently got ( second set by the way).

Srixon W-506, Srixon Z-Rw is even better!

The Z-Star, however, is what got me to divorce Srixon. Along with customer service.

All I can say is that they are on the way.......sometime. I have done a few so far for customers, but I suspect they were special orders. They do look sweet!!

BTW...before the SIT I probably would not have said the Precious Edition fit the criteria.....nice driver for sure but not the "Longest Straightest" I played one for a number of years and hit a lot of great drives with it BUT the SIT is in another whole league

Flog, you're behind buddy. Read the post from MiuraGuru up above and he says you sneaky Canadians have been rat-holing the 60Ks up there and not sharing with your American cousins. If I find out that's true....I'm gonna have to see what I can do about repealing NAFTA.

Ryoma. Pretty much revolutionary on terms of forgiveness. If you can't hit decently straight drives with this driver then you probably need to find a different hobby

He is the guy down there and knows what is in stock at any time.....I only get to build them and work on them. I'll be looking for an order with your name on it

What was I thinking?

Deleted that post of mine! Thank you for doing the same with [u]this[/u] one.


EDIT: Also joined GTI

most forgiving and long...EASILY the ryoma!

moderately forgiving and the longest...the original jbeam/crazy 435. this driver is just barely less forgiving than the ryoma but keeps up with non-conforming models! it feels different than other drivers but if you like long you'll get used to it!

Right here.
