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!

The Speeder SLK, a short shaft released in April 2019, is characterized by the fact that "club balance does not change even if the club is shortened by 1 inch!" and is specialized for improving hit rate and high operability. It has been accepted by a wider range of golfers than initially expected.
The Type-D (Distance) model, which pursues even greater distance performance than the SLK, uses high-elasticity carbon to increase head speed and increases tip rigidity for stronger impact, achieving both high distance performance and the same level of controllability as before.
Metal Composite Technology
By combining the metal tubes used in the MCI, the conflicting issues of shortening the club length and club balance are resolved.
Multi-hoop ply laminate
By laminating multiple hoop layers along the entire length, the shaft is prevented from collapsing and deformation, allowing for smooth return to its original shape.
Low torque design (*New technology of Type-D)
By bias laminating high elasticity carbon throughout, including the ultra-high elasticity 90t layer, the torque is lower than that of the SLK and EVOLUTION series.
Multi-layered TORAYCA RT1100G (new technology of Type-D)
By laminating multiple layers of Toray's high-strength, high-elasticity carbon "Torayca RT1100G" at the tip, high tip rigidity and strength are achieved.
