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!

With the same head and without changing your swing, you can achieve the maximum head speed you can achieve.
Introducing the new distance-specialized driver shaft "VULCANUS."
"VULCANUS" is a new category for amateur golfers who are concerned about the distance they can hit with their driver.
We have made full use of the know-how we have cultivated through the NSPRO series, and have incorporated the synergistic effects of our unique design philosophy and high-performance materials.
Increase your distance without changing your head or swing.
It truly embodies Nippon Shaft's shaft design concept, which is "He who masters the shaft will master golf."
Introducing a new distance-focused brand that will dramatically change the game of golf by overcoming the weaknesses of amateur golfers.
-What is VULCANUS?- The god of blacksmithing in Roman mythology, who creates legendary weapons, is the inspiration behind the name, which conveys the idea that the company provides weapons (shafts) to meet the diverse needs of amateur golfers.
■A new brand specializing in distance that analyzes the tendencies of amateur golfers who have trouble hitting the ball farther and helps them overcome their weaknesses
Many amateur golfers, especially those with a head speed of less than 43m/s, face the challenge of lacking driver distance.
"VULCANUS" is a new brand that was planned and developed to accurately respond to such concerns and requests.
We analyzed the tendencies specific to amateurs and began developing shafts to overcome the weaknesses that cause distance loss.
Based on the concept of "using the same head and without changing your swing, to maximize your distance to the maximum head speed," it is positioned as a "shaft brand for troubled amateur golfers" that can be used for a long time.
This new brand of distance-specialized carbon fiber is designed to solve distance problems such as "it doesn't fly as far as my head speed suggests..." and bring you the true joy of golf.
■New technology that delivers maximum efficiency and impact
The main reason for lack of distance is the energy loss at impact.
The necessary condition for achieving the intended distance is a "maximally efficient impact" that maximizes the golfer's potential and the performance of the driver head.
To achieve this, VULCANUS focuses on not only bending and torsional rigidity, but also on flattening. The flattening of the shaft, which occurs at the same time as the shaft flexes, is freely controlled in each part.
Unparalleled design freedom allows for optimized attack angle and impact loft.
