ONOFF introduces their all new Type S driver for 2011! In the past, ONOFF divided their models into a RED line and a PLUS line. The RED models were meant for the more average golfer and focused on an easy high launch and distance and forgiveness. The Plus line on the other hand had more of a focus on control and direction. Last year they began rebranding the models by also calling the Red the XD model and the Plus the XP model. This year in their marketing they have dropped the Red and Plus monikers at least in Japan. They now call the models the Type D which is the average golfer model and the Type S which is for the better player.
Like previous models, both the D and S use ONOFF's Wide Hyper Effect face though its been redesigned and given a "II" as the second generation. In order to expand high initial velocity area, the club face is divided into 6 different areas. The thickness of the center of the face is thickest and it is getting thinner to perimeter of the face. The face is thicker on the Type S matching well with faster swingers who want a softer feel at impact and the strength to repel stronger impact for higher ball speeds. The Type D has a thinner center area than the S which helps increase smash factor for slower more average swing speeds. Also carried over to both models is ONOFF's Power Sole Bridge, which adopts a power ribbed construction for the sole. This increases the rigidity of the body which lowers spin and optimizes energy transfer for distance.
The Type S is a forgiving shallow faced driver aimed at the better player wanting a balance of distance and control. Compared to Plus models of the past, not only is the face shallower the head is also slightly larger and the CG a touch lower. The thicker Endo forged ELF Titanium face provides soft feel at impact and optimal smash factor for the faster and better player. The Type S produces a more penetrating low spin trajectory compared to the average golfer Type D model.
ONOFF stock shafts are considered above average quality when it comes to stock shafts from manufacturers. They are afterall owned by Daiwa who also run premium shaft brand Roddio and are masters of carbon manufacturing thanks to their huge share of the fishing rod business in Japan. Some club makers in Japan even go as far as saying ONOFF makes the best stock/oem shafts as they can rival aftermarket shafts. The stock shaft for the ONOFF Type S varies in weight from 50g (R), 55g (S/R), 61g (S). It is a mid kicking shaft with mid torque offering a balance of control and distance performance.
Lofts available are 9* and 10*.
The standard face angle for the Type S is 1.0* OPEN for both lofts.
As always, ONOFF drivers are pretty customizable by Labospec, ONOFF Tour division. They can not only adjust face angle but also lie angle to a certain degree because ONOFF drivers typically use a proprietary hosel/socket which allows for these adjustments internally during the shaft install. Shaft options also include all Roddio shafts. If you need a custom spec order, please contact us for more details.
