Thank you for keeping the WITB section alive with your monthly post.
Would be courious to see how your best of the best witb will look like.
I also will concentrate on lowering my score for time as I'm quite happy with my current bag.
Yes, I was thinking of posting my thoughts from my 1-year long experiment.
I'll start with Driver:
Grandista / QFE Max WBQ 55: Good combo that in retrospect probably should've held onto. Decent distance, pretty straight, good feel & sound, looks good at address.
TourStage GR (adjustable): Tried 4 different shafts, but Diamana W60 performed the best. A keeper for me since I like trying different shafts. Decent distance, average accuracy, good feel & sound, yellow markings on crown can be distracting at address.
Epon AF-151 / stock Tour AD: Not as revered as AF-153 I guess. I found a hot spot on the face but can't consistently hit it. Average accuracy, great feel & sound (as expected), looks good at address.
Justick Proceed 460R IV / TPRX X-Line: Great combo that I let go. Above average distance (DAT55 face), pretty straight, great feel & sound (muted), looks good at address.
Crazy CRZ 450 / TPRX X-Line: Another very good combo that I let go. Above average distance (DAT55 face), pretty straight, not-so-good (tinny) feel & sound, looks good at address.
Astro Tour V II / QFE Max WBQ 55: Had an SR flex shaft in this and it played at 44", which for me, didn't work as well as the other drivers. I'm hoping the next owner enjoys it.
jBEAM 435 / Basi Fiamma: Not much to be said about the 435. The Fiamma in S flex was just ok. I could've played it stiffer.
S-Yard T.388 / Diamana 'ahina: Oldie, but goodie. A great combo for me. The Diamana Whiteboard family simply works for me. Love the smaller head, very controllable. A keeper.
Yonex Tri-G 445 (Japan version) / stock Nanopreme: Bought this by mistake. Thought I was getting the adjustable hosel version. Didn't know there was a glued version. Mentally, didn't give this a chance. Looks great, but I won't be keeping this.
Ryoma D-1 Premia / Tour AD BB-6: One of my first JDM drivers purchased. Not much to be said. I found others I liked better.
Labo 358 / Hashiri 50-Long: Very good combo. Above average distance, pretty straight, great feel & sound (metallic crunch), looks perfect at address. A keeper.
Yam D445 Power Forward / Proto A.Japa M.A.: Good combo, but not great. Average distance, straight for the most part but I've hooked this too many times out of the blue, decent feel & sound, looks decent at address. Good looking, rare shaft, but I won't be keeping this. My 2014 Yam RMX Tourmodel (adjustable) is a much better driver.
So, my Driver Gold List :
Justick Proceed
T.388
Labo 358
