Rethinking conventional wisdom and creating new ones
Nowadays, drivers that boast high initial velocity and high MOI are the norm.
However, no matter how excellent the repulsion performance of a high MOI head is, if you cannot hit the ball in the direction you want, you cannot enjoy its ease of use. Many players swing too late or have an open face that does not return to its original position, resulting in frequent right pushes and push break to the right. This is why an easy-to-use, moderately high MOI head is becoming an "option."
The "Type R", which will be released this fall, is based on a "fitting head" that improves the performance of each amateur golfer while retaining the forgiveness of a high MOI head, and is equipped with a new technology called "Fire Lock Face".
By working together with the highly skilled fitters and craftsmen, we aim to bring about a revolution for amateur golfers who have not been satisfied with the technology and performance available until now.
The newly developed "Firelock Face" uses a unique Hyper Heat manufacturing process to revolutionize ball speed and feel beyond imagination.
Because there is a limit to the repulsion of the face, new technologies are constantly being developed. Similarly, Romaro has continued to develop new ideas and technologies within these limits.
The "Type R" being released this time adopts a new technology called "Firelock Manufacturing Method" that thins the face to the same level as the high repulsion model, raises it to a level outside the repulsion regulations, and then returns it to compliance. By applying high heat treatment after molding the face, the metal structure is homogenously refined, achieving efficient, high-quality deflection.
The unique AI-ONE, combined with the HEXAGON forged cup face that controls deflection at any impact point, expands the repulsion performance to the limit of the rules over a wide range. The face's deflection improves energy and maximizes the initial velocity of the ball. The amount of spin and launch angle on off-center hits are also kept appropriate, contributing to stable direction and distance.
The "good ball grip and soft feel" that was not available in drivers boasting high initial velocity until now has realized the sense of speed and control that catches the ball and pushes it forward. A golf head that conforms to the rules with the feel of a high-repulsion model will be your common sense from now on.
HEXAGON forged cup face
The unique AI-ONE technology controls the deflection for every impact point, resulting in a synergistic effect that expands the rebound performance to a wide range, right at the limit allowed by the rules. The face flexes and returns to its original position, increasing energy and maximizing ball speed. It also maintains the appropriate amount of spin and launch angle on off-center hits, contributing to stable direction and distance. |
"Start Guide System" for smooth take-back start |
In addition to the large head sitting comfortably, the "Start Guide System" creates a sense of stability in the head trajectory.
In golf, where the change from "still" to "moving" is said to be the most difficult, a stable start to the take-back has a positive effect on the top and down, and is effective for swing performance. Together with the fitting weight, we aimed for a "high quality ball impact" that would not be overpowered by the ball and would be able to hit it powerfully in the direction of the target.
In addition, the synergistic effect with the "Firelock Face" which produces maximum initial velocity aims to maximize golfers' distance.
"Fitting head" that can dramatically change performance with one head and is adaptable to any user |
The mid-face round shape is a traditional Type R design that makes it easy to address and concentrate on the ball. The extra weight from the ultra-thin body is properly distributed to the face and rear of the head, and by combining it with weights and sleeves
, a "fitting head" has been created that can dramatically change the head performance .
The adjustment function is now more effective than ever, and by realizing the optimal center of gravity for each golfer, driving performance is further improved. In sympathy with the high level of skill of the fitter, it brings out the best in the golfer.

By adopting the VTC (#DW only) that is also installed in the SPEEDER NX series, even higher trajectory and higher initial velocity are achieved.
In addition, the range of options has been increased to three flex options, allowing for a more precise fit.
By optimizing the flow from the driver to the irons, we have unified the swing feel of each club.
Partial multi-hoop technology *Only from the middle to the hands Hoop layer lamination technology is essential for reducing crushing in lightweight shafts with thin walls.
By optimizing the lamination even further than before, we have achieved increased crushing and bending strength.
In addition, by configuring it only from the middle section to the handle section, it gives the tip a moderate sense of flexibility.
We aimed to make it easier for the ball to rise and to optimize the amount of spin.
Ultra-low resin carbon sheet "RC20% prepreg" *Driver only By maximizing the proportion of carbon fiber, we have achieved stronger flex and rebound.
