Ryoma d-1 driver review

Hitting both the D1 vs. I like that they did not give it a new name. What is also very telling is that Ryoma pulled all D1 Maxima stock from Japanese Golf Stores early and had even asked TSG to stop selling the previous conforming model. THIS people is what shows a brands integrity they are not concerned to liquidating their old stock before the new one arrives. TSG can also custom order you head weights; we can offer the new Maxima weight kit or custom build your Ryoma Maxima to the head weight you want and even request custom hand picked specs for the more discerning player.

Log In. Because of this later release, Ryoma waited so they could send me all 3 current models, the D-1, D-1 Premia and D-1 V-Spec as well as there most up to date literature. I was very excited to finally get these drivers on hand for some testing. I wanted to give my first impressions of the drivers visually before I get out later next week for on course testing.

As you can see from the picture I took above, the 3 models look very similar apart from finish. The dimensions of the heads are all the same while the D-1 and D-1 V-Spec share the same type of Ti face, the D-1 Premia uses a slightly different variation of Ti that is supposedly thinner and hotter though it is conforming as are the other two.

Admittedly, when I first saw the D-1 about a year ago, I very much disliked its looks. That has NOT changed. However, logos and aesthetics aside, the workmanship and finish of the driver is very good and clean. This is very important for a premium driver with a high price tag as people who buy them only expect the best. I have evaluated other brands in the past which we ended up not carrying due to poor finish and workmanship not worthy of their price tags.

The original D-1 and D-1 Premia were designed for the average golfer and slower swinger looking for huge distance gains by eliminating bad shots right and providing maximum energy transfer coupled with low spin performance.

The D1 and D-1 Premia feature square to closed faces 9. These features are meant to reduce shots right. As you can see from the picture I took above with the standard D-1 The The V-Spec model is also heavier overall to help stability for higher swing speeds.

One thing I do like visually on the D-1 drivers are the faces. I kind of like the rounded shape as well. Ryoma drivers feature real lofts so if the driver states I took the D-1 driver gold IP face on the right over to our driving range just to hit a few balls to get a sense of the feel.
