nakashima Htec driver

Summary:
This by far is the longest straightest driver i ever hit, i picked up 25-30yards over my Titleist driver,my first combination i tried was not perfect, but with there refit policy i went back in and tweeked it at no charge and found the perfect setup, i had a hole in one on 311 yard par 4 in skins game, i am left handed and i tried 10 shafts! which is a miracle for me being left handed, it was awesome experience, i was fit at head quarters in stockton california, what a system, and now i heard taylormade is trying to copy nakashima golf, how funny is that, good luck that r9 sucks!!!!bunch of copycats-
Nakashima Golf has the best fitting system in the world, they are the best

Nakashima Golf HTEC Driver

Summary:
I cannot recommend this driver. Its too expensive and I dont think I can tell people to even try the club. I never had so much disperion of side spin after the Nakashima Studio fitting session. I was fitted with a Fuji Rombax 6w06 stiff($300) on a 9.5 head. I told them that I wanted a 10.5. I hit this thing on the driving range with side hook spin and the distance is mediocre. Forget consistancy, there is none. The only time I hit it straight was when I had to "Apply" a feel to get that straight shot. But consistancy was nonexistent. I spent over $700 for this driver. All of you can call me a dumbass and I deserve it. I just trusted them and their computer. They made me believe that the numbers that I had were going to give me huge results. My losses are great and I am not sure I can sell it.
Then, I bought a Titleist 905s 10.5 on ebay for $70. I changed the shaft to a Graphite Design YS-6+ stiff. I invested a total of $185 for this set up with the spine adjustment. I hit the ball straight and average my 240 to 260 drives consistantly. I am so confident that I am not looking back.
Im sorry, but I feel that its my duty to say that I did not have any luck with Nakashima's HTEC 440. I am not angry since I have longed forgave the fitters. But $750 invested deserved more time.

Customer Service:
I was rushed to buy it in the fitting studio. They led me to believe that I was fitted properly but I was too trusting of them. They told me that I had to change my swing by teeing the ball 2 inches up. then hit up high on it. I dont change my swing for a club THAT drastically. They did call to check up on me, but I didnt trust them anymore to think that they would charge me another $75 for fitting and full retail on another shaft if I came back.

Summary:
I now have a HTEC 460, 10 1/2 degree driver with a Mitsubishi Fubuki shaft. This is by far the best driver I've ever hit. The wind is no factor. I consistantly hit 300 yard drives at age 47. NO COMPANY IN GOLF OFFERS THE SAME CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THIS COMPANY OFFERS. THEY WILL CHANGE THE SHAFT AND HEAD COMBINATION UNTIL IT IS PERFECT. SIMPLY THE BEST.

Customer Service:
UNBELIEVABLE

Nakashima Htec 460cc

Summary:
This is absolutly the best driver on the Market. I matched the New Nakashima 460cc with a Matrix F7M2 LTD (Thanks Epic Golf Tour Products for the fit). The Head sits open, thanks to the Nakashima Adjustable hosel, and the Ball speed and spin rate were unmatched by any driver I tested. The Htec 460cc Driver had a much lower spin rate than the Htec 440cc, and the Ball flight is unbelievable. Way better than my TaylorMade 282 Proto Head with the same shaft.

Customer Service:
Have never used them
