Kamui Works Ray Driver Install Part 1

Kamui Works sent me my hand made Ray driver today.  It came spec’ed just as requested with 10* real loft, 60* real lie, 200g on the dot and a 0.5* closed face. I also requested that they send me a NON Confomring 0.88 Hi Cor model and no paint fill on the sole except the word KAMUI which is black. As always the workmanship is superb as expected from a driver that takes hours to finish and is put together by hand.

My original plan was to install a Crazy Black 46 6.2 Flex in the head but Crazy is out of that flex right now so instead of waiting around I took a peek in my closet to see what “old” shafts I had sitting around so I could build the club today. I found a Motore Speeder VC5.0, Roddio w5BA, and an Axiv V-Spec 5058.  The Axiv was a legend of its time and it’s mid to high kick coupled with 5.1* of torque result in wonderful feel but with a penetrating launch. Its been a long time since I played the Axiv so I decided to put the Axiv in the Kamui (I can always change it out when the CB46 in my flex comes my way). Paired with a 50g Iomic X-Evolution Grip I calculated that at 45.25″ I’d have around D1-D2 swing weight. I’ve been playing my Ryomas at this same length and swing weight so it will make for a good comparison. I’ll be back tomorrow with the finished build and specs and get on with some testing!
