Crossing Functionality with Feel |
|
|
|
Yamaha's philosophy is that club functionality cannot be discussed without considering how the golfer feels, because the club is the golfer's only partner on the course. Furthermore, a club should not only be functional, it should excite its user. Inpres X drives further and more accurately but there is more to the club than that. Inpres X has a charm that keeps golfers coming back. Flight, control, design, sound: these are the four elements crossed in Inpres X. These clubs are from Yamaha, a company that continues to manufacture goods that rouse emotions. |
Cross-Force |
Flight
The newly developed Octaface V and Octaface D have an expanded hitting area to fit the variation in striking points of advanced and average golfers. The newly-developed orbit shaft achieves a level, upper head path due to the next-generation flex that was created by analyzing 10 locations. The r.p.m. concept establishes vertical gear effect, and gives the ball optimal spin. The unique, high-performance inpres X promises unimaginable flight. The reliable feel of this club gives golfers a peace of mind that helps them actually drive further.
Control
Separating the V series into two types expands the types of trajectories in the inpres X line.
Control the ball path and attack the pin strategically - V201 Tour Model
Attack the pin directly by hitting with strong trajectories - V201
Hit the ball straight with a high trajectory - D201 Type S
Hit the ball with draw and a high trajectory - D201
inpres X responds to every golfers' desire to hit farther and more accurately.
Design
A golf club is a golfer's partner on the course. In order for him to take to the club, it must have a stirring design. The calm, elegant design removes excessive ornamentation and creates a bond between golfer and club.
Sound
A beautiful shot stays with a golfer. This shot becomes an ideal image, and it leads to the next hit. That is why we were particular about inpres X having a beautiful sound. Yamaha's unique vibration analysis gives the inpres X a unique, vibrant sound. |

Shaft |
|
A best match with the head increases the meet rate, and meet rate, and improves both flight and stability. Inpres X's pure shaft effectively makes the most out of golfers' technique and power.
V201 TOURMODEL
Graphite Design Tour AD DI-6
The flex of the entire shaft was emphasized, and the tip area makes full use of nanotechnology from Torey Industries, Inc. Using a highly-elasticized resin minimizes head movement on impact for deeper, more resonant impact. This next-generation shaft increases control even more by maintaining flex throughout the entire shaft during the swing and creating an image that the ball is pushed on impact. |

V201
Fujikura ROMBAX 6J10
This shaft uses Rombax technology to increase stability and control. Stiffness at the center part of the shaft increases the elastic force and increases flight distance with strong impact. |
|
|
|
|
Golfers' swing paths are corrected to level upper paths. This newly-developed shaft, orbit, hits far and straight, and draws out the maximum distance. |
D201 TYPE S / D 201 |
|
MBX-410D (Square Impact Design), TBX-410D (Draw Impact Design) |
|
In what way do you approach the ideal level, upper swing? The newly-developed shaft, orbit,synchronizes the head path with the ideal launch angle, and reduces the energy loss on impact. It lets golfers effectively raise initital speed, high trajectory with optimal spin give maximum flight distance. |
|
|
|
Maximizing Flight Distance |
The swing path is corrected and the head path gets closer to the launch angle, which increases the energy at impact and maximizes flight distance. |
|
|
|
Line-up |
|
Hit gently and attack with control.
The new evolution of gear responds to exacting demands and the inpres X series makes selecting clubs a pleasure. |
|
|
New Face Structure
An expanded hitting area compensates for the strike point variation of different level golfers.
Octaface reduces the power loss during off-center hits in order to realize maximum distance. |
|
Focusing on the strike point variation among both average and advanced golfers showed that advanced golfers' strike points vary in a vertical direction on the center of the face, and average golfers' strike points vary in an oval from the lower part of the heel to the top of the toe. Based on these results, we used a differently structured face design for the V model and the D model. We simultaneously expanded the hitting area, and helped increase average distances. |
|
|
|
The new Octaface uses two face structures to match the variation in golfers' striking points.
OCTAFACE V
The OCTAFACE V's part thickness design improved on the 3X Multiface and expanded the effecitve hitting area to a size ideal for advanced golfers. A 3.7g weight reduction increases the MOI. |
|
|
|
OCTAFACE D
For the OCTAFACE D, we analyzed the distrubution of golfers' striking points, and expanded the effective hitting area to the upper part of the toe and the lower part of the heel. Furthermore, a 6.5g reduction in face weight and thinner face improve flight distance. |
|
|
|
|
Back Spin |
|
Golfers hit further and more accurately on the fairway with backspin optimized for their style.
How should the impact point be brought closer to the COG? Should the optimal backspin be held to around 2,500 rpm? The inpres X drivers excellent flight and control comes from the r.p.m. concept, which realizes the optimal backspin through ideal COG depth and height.
The Relataionship Between Flight Distance and Backspin
We measured the flight distance and spin with a Trackman radar trajectory measurement device, and analyzed the relationship. These measurements showed us the maximum distance was achieved with a backspin of around 2,500 rpm. The r.p.m. concept gives the inpres X drivers ideal backspin.
If the ball hit by a driver has too much spin, it floats up and distance is lost. In addition, if there isn't enough spin, the ball does not gain enough ascending force. The ball drops and the carry does not increase, so the golfer does not get the desired distance. About 2,500 rpm gives both efficient distance and control. |

|
|
|
Sound Concept |
|
By changing the internal sole structure, we sought to give V series and D Series a solid, comfortable hit and a deep, resonate sound. |
|
V Series
The soft hit of the V Series makes it feel like the ball sinks into the face, and golfers enjoy the medium tone of the sound on impact. |
|
D Series
The high, clear, and sustained sound of the D Series causes golfers to envision hits where the ball vanishes into the distant sky. |
|
|
We analyzed vibration to create a sound fitting the preferences of advanced players. |
We wanted a clear,sustained sound that would please average golfers. |
