Shallow head for gentle play, but still holds the title of king of distance
GTD Black Ice 460 DRIVER
This is what I wanted! This is the encounter with a true ace driver. The level of perfection does not disappoint.
What we did to achieve the Blac Ice series concept of being "resistant to mistakes" with the driver.
This was the development of GTD's first full-size 460cc shallow head.
What we did to improve the distance of the GTD driver.
This achieves industry-leading shallow center of gravity and low spin for a club of this size.
Despite its shallow back, the semi-deep face has a wide core, and the 460cc full-size head is neither too small nor too big, making it easy to hit. Experience its performance that surpasses the Code-K in all aspects.
Moreover, the industry's best "shallow center of gravity" provides low spin performance,
The Code-K size head has been further improved with improved weight placement for greater stability.
In every respect, it surpasses previous GTD drivers.
The Angel-C driver is complete.

George Takei talks about the "development concept"
Over the past few years, we have been trying various things to improve Code-K...
The end result was a completely different model (Angel-C), which was very popular among long hitters due to its high performance.
…After all, I had a strong desire to evolve Code-K and debut it. |

・GTD's first full-size 460cc shallow head
And now, we have finally completed the model that we are able to proudly announce: the Black Ice 460 Driver.
The development concept for this bike was "a full-size 460cc bike that is popular with the majority of golfers."
"A forgiving club that can be caught and controlled" and "a shallow back that is a GTD specialty that never sacrifices
"Stable low spin performance."
・Shallow back but semi-deep face with a wide core
This time, a total of seven prototypes were produced. The final seventh sampling had a total of four pieces,
We had many pros, including Kyoko Furuya, as well as top amateurs and average players try out the course.
The sound, feel, launch angle, and weight (196g) are all perfectly aligned.
All of the players gave high praise to the sound, trajectory, and feel of the club.
For a gentle attack, a comfortable sound, feel, and controllability.
And the carries, runs, and total "distance" all clearly and completely surpassed Code-K.
- 460cc full-size head that's not too small or too big
Although the center of gravity is shallow, the strength of the shallow back also plays a role in the cavity effect.
The sweet spot has also been significantly enlarged, making this a head that a wide range of golfers can confidently consider to be their ace driver.
In addition, due to the head shape, the sleeve attachment part is slightly higher,
If you use the shaft that was previously inserted into the head, it will be about 0.3 to 0.5 inches longer , so we recommend fitting a new shaft before using it.
Overall
GTD's first 460cc shallow back
But the industry's best low spin
The trajectory is slightly higher than Plus2 and AngeC.
Aim for a high draw with draw bias
It surpassed all the performance of Code-K.
A highly refined model that is easy to fly!

ANKAA Anchor Shaft
|
"ANKAA" cuts through the wind like a "famous sword" that combines strength and sharpness, and delivers ball speeds beyond imagination, leading to maximum distance.
This is the first model of the "ANKAA" brand, which was created by reconstructing the flex effect of the shaft to eliminate the lack of trajectory height and spinlessness of the average golfer and maximize the head performance. By using more advanced technology than ever before and manipulating the thickness and rigidity at the micron level, which cannot be perceived with the naked eye, we have created a shaft that is necessary for modern golf.
ANKAA creates a super efficient swing
The sources of swing energy are three forces: lateral, rotational, and vertical. Golfers who are not getting the distance they need are not using vertical force. In other words, the speed slows down when going from halfway down to impact. ANKAA creates a large rebound at three points: the transition, halfway down, and impact zone, and the speed reaches its peak at impact, creating a shaft that can be swung comfortably.
Three Power Point Pile-up Technology The idea of "joints" creates "bounce back beyond imagination"
Unprecedented rigidity characteristics with three sections along the entire length of the shaft. The flex at the grip when taking back, the next flex halfway down, and the acceleration at impact. The three flexes work together to achieve greater club speed and ball initial velocity than ever before. The complex layered structure suppresses excess twisting, allowing you to swing through smoothly in one go. The efficient transmission of swing power leads to maximum distance with a powerful, pushing impact.
●Three stages of flexion maximize the return to normal swing ●With less wasted movement and twisting, all swing power is converted into ball speed ●Automatic return to normal swing allows for a comfortable swing ●Prevents the ball from being lost on impact, allowing for a firm push ●Less likely to go off-plane, allowing for different trajectories to be hit ●Flexes significantly without swinging wildly, making it easier to hit and improving the rate of contact ●Designed to be used by women, seniors, and athletes who want a relaxed swing and great distance ●The "best choice" needed for modern golf
