Kamui Works has finally upgraded and released a brand new custom fairway wood based on their new Kamui Ray lineup. The new Ray is designed to be a premium distance fairway wood with mid to high launch and low spin. Kamui Works is a very prestigious hand made golf club maker in Toyama City. Kamui Works has been making premium drivers and woods for over a decade and is a favorite among low handicap players and those wanting a premium custom made woods with a focus on feel and distance.
Kamui’s custom fairway woods are simple clean designs hand made with premium SUS630 body and cold forged Maraging face. Maraging steel is stronger than SUS630 so can be made thinner providing soft feel and POP off the face at impact thanks to higher elasticity. The new Ray heads are considered mid to smaller sized heads with a pear shape and a very handsome mid height face profile. Kamui Works uses TIG Welding (by hand) to attach the face to the FW body. Because this is all done carefully by the hands of top Kamui Works craftsmen, there is very little margin of error when it comes to loft and face angle. You order 15.5* and that’s what you get.
The heads spend a lot of time on the grinding belt and are worked thoroughly by hand to ensure uniform thickness all throughout the head. Kamui Works believes this is an important process in creating a maximum performance head as uneven surface and walls of the head would not only throw off the overall balance of the head but cause the performance to fall below optimal. Moving from rougher belts to finer belts with many steps in between, Kamui Works ensures a perfect polish and shine with the final touch being done by hand and cloth buffing. This is pure hand made attention and the ultimate in Japanese hand made club making craftsmanship.
At address the Kamui Ray FW sets up beautifully and better players will like fact they can specify the exact face angle they want.
Current options include:
- Loft (Exact loft)
- Face Angle
- Lie Angle
- Head Weight
Keep in mind also that while we list adjustment guidelines here, it is NOT uncommon for Kamui to be able to adjust even more beyond these guidelines. Just email us for your specs confirmation if you require more than standard adjustments. (my comments in brackets apply to all lofts)
Kamui Ray 3W
Loft is 15* and plus minus 1* (we have seen them do 1.5 to 2.0* more)
Head weight is from 208g to 225g. (this is great for those who want a 42″ or shorter 3W!!)
Lie is from 58* to 60* (again we have seen them go as flat as 56-57*)
Face angle is open 1* to closed 2* (2* open is certainly doable!)
Kamui Ray 5W
Loft is 18* and plus minus 1*
Head weight is from 215g to 234g.
Lie is from 59* to 61*.
Face angle is open 1* to closed 2*.

Im looking for something extra special for a professional who hits the drive over 340 yards. Any ideas on a limited Japanese driver?
Thx
If he hits it that far, is a pro, he should check out the Epon Zero.
