Sometimes, these smaller boutique brands can be hard to deal with. Because they are small they are sometimes inflexible and difficult. I’ve found out that Ryoma’s new Fairway Wood and Special Tuning model stock are already half accounted for and that we must pre-book all clubs before launch or risk not getting any. Of course Ryoma expects us to sell the club by booking pre-orders yet at the same time they won’t allow me to post pictures of the clubs.
So I am blogging to announce that we are officially taking orders now for the Ryoma Special Tuning Driver as well as the Ryoma-F FW. There are limited numbers and if they are not pre-ordered and reserved you most likely will not be able to get one come October.
As I’ve noted before, visually, the Special Tuning driver looks just like the current models except for a fine tuned body and different face material and design – and of course the fact it is HI COR over 0.88. If you are unsure of the differences please read this post I made earlier.
Pricing is the same regardless of whether you order a black or a gold head and whether they are D-1, V-Spec or Premia designs (yes it is confusing… I wish they would just offer black or gold special tuning heads but no, they are black or gold, D-1, V-Spec or Premia heads. MSRP is 1200.00 for the Special Tuning head including headcover.
For the Ryoma-F Fairway Wood, as I mentioned the 2, 3 and 5W (called F2 F3 F5) feature a forged Titanium construction while the 7 and 9W (F7 and F9) are maraging steel. The F2, F3 and F5 are 640.00 per head MSRP including headcover and the F7 and F9 are 375.00 per head MSRP. These can also be ordered with stock shafts or with any upgrade shaft like Crazy. Since I cannot post the picture on the blog, here is a graphic of its design.
So if you want a Special Tuning head or fairway wood, you must contact me directly to reserve now or honestly, you probably won’t get one as the drivers will have only one batch made and as I said, half are already sold. For the FW, if you don’t reserve now, please expect a several month wait after the first batch launches in mid October.
Please contact me at gocchin @ tourspecgolf.com (without the spaces) and I can help you with your order and personal quote/recommendations and answer any questions you may have.
Tario, for the fairways, they are not limited and will be re-stocked when they sell out?
Hi James, thats correct but at the rate they are taking to make them it could be 2 months in between batches or worse if they oversell pre orders also for that second batch,
this could end my pursuit for the holy grail!
im down for a f3! thanks t
can they do a custom order for left hand driver?
No left handed models unfortunately, and it can’t simply be made as a custom order, you’d need moulds and cad design and probably $20,000 in budget! (^_^)

The most import question which one hit the longest?
As noted in the post, please read here for what’s new in the special tuning model: http://www.tourspecgolf.com/blog/ryoma-update-on-new-driver-and-fairway-wood/
As for the Premia vs the Crazy 435II, very different drivers and very different target audiences.
Which one hits the longest depends completely on the player.
