Summary:
Nakashima Golf has earned a very good reputation for designing clubs. Not too much play on tour, but that is a $eperate issue with player endorsement$. John Nakashima is the founder, and has produced quality clubs with very tight spec tolerances.

The NP1 420 is a great example of how to build a golf club. The design is very functional with a raised "N" for a sight at address. NP1 has a tall face, smooth stain center and a traditional rounded shape. No gimmicks, just a great looking club. Oh yes, the sound at impact suggests pure quality. The NP1 comes in a variety of lofts and sizes. One is bound to suit your game. I matched a Fujikura Tour Platform shaft, S-flex with the 420, and have been very pleased with the combination.

Best to all !

Summary:
Got custom fitted with one of these by Zane @ Urban Golf in London, while there was plenty of debate about which shaft would fit me there was very little about which head would perform best. The Nakashima head was his only reccomendation for me.

average distance before (using Titleist 905): 235yds fade
after: 275yds and straight

Best results with ProV1

Ball flight seems to be a complicated and highly individual thing, moral of the story is therefore 'get fitted', it's taken me years to get around to it but now I realise I was throwing away 40 yards.

thumbs up to MaxOut Golf, Zane @ Urban Golf and finally mitsubishi and nakashima.

works for me but might not for you; again... get fitted.

Summary:
Very sweat and long driver. I'm 5'7", 150 pound, 98 mph head speed. Shoot around low 80's. Fitted with Fujikura e Fit on 150 REGULAR shaft. My other diriver is Titlist 905T w/ GD Reg. and hit 230-250 with draw, somtime Duck Hook in left trees. But with this stick, I hit 250-270 yards constant finding fairway. My 2nd shots are now 2 clubs short irons, thus hitting green on regulation much easier. I recommend this club to anyone, especialy to lower handicap players, because it's very traditional pear shape 420cc head but seems little smaller than 905T 400cc.
