There are generally three types of UTs.

• Ａ UTs that emphasize flying distanceDistance-oriented UTs have low loft and low launch angle, making it difficult to achieve big carry.This type of UT provides low spin and distance, but it is difficult to aim for the pin because it is hard to stop the ball on the green.
• Ｂ UTs that emphasize easy hittingBecause the ball is raised with a lot of backspin, it is easy to hit, but it is also susceptible to wind and difficult to achieve long distance.
• Ｃ Long iron type UTsA long iron with the back of the iron inflated to make it easier to raise the ball. Aimed distance can be obtained only with a center hit.

For all golfers, it is very difficult to aim at the pin 160 to 220 yards away. To achieve this, it is necessary to combine the contradictory elements of "high initial velocity & low spin" and "high launch," but until now, no UT has solved such an impossible problem. MAXIMA U is a completely new type of UT that succeeded in combining the "advantages only" of A and B above.

①MAXIMA U is very different from other UTs in its "head structure!"

MAXIMA U is a completely different concept from other companies' UTs, creating a "driver in the shape of a UT". The head is specially developed with "DSI Technology"(click here to learn more about DSI Technology), and no other companies’ forged titanium UT can compare to it.
MAXIMA U is a "next generation UT like no other," with a distance that is longer than other UTs with the same loft, yet is as easy to hit as a short iron, allowing anyone to easily hit long shots that are directly linked to scores.

While other companies' UTs are designed either for distance or for stopping on the green, MAXIMA U delivers maximum distance, and at the same time, stops on the green and does not get caught in the wind.
In addition, general UTs have a deeper center of gravity than long irons to make it easier to raise the ball, and since they are a replacement for long irons, cost is the top priority. As a result, most UTs are not made of forged titanium like the MAXIMA U, but cast stainless steel or maraging.

②The "face" performance is different from other UTs.

The face rebound coefficient of a general stainless steel UT is about COR 0.7.MAXIMA U has a "forged titanium cup face" that extends the deflection area by 10mm each in the crown and sole directions, generating a driver-like COR of 0.82 (upper limit conforming to SLE rules).The ball initial velocity has been improved by more than 2m/s compared to the latest UTs of other companies.Furthermore, MAXIMA U reduces backspin by 1,000 rpm with the "Overtake weight" placed directly below the face hitting point. In addition, MAXIMA U sends a high launch, high initial velocity, low spin ball up in the air, even when hitting a ball on the ground.

③The ball stops on the green!

General UTs make the ball fly farther by applying draw rotation and increasing the run, but on the other hand, the ball is difficult to stop on the green.The special head structure of MAXIMA U releases a low spin ball with high initial velocity & high launch, so the ball has a high drop height and is easy to stop on the green, making it possible to aim for the pin.

④Reduced energy loss even in the event of a miss-hit!

MAXIMA U is designed to amplify the twisting power of the entire head by adding stiffness differences between the upper (crown) and lower (sole) portions of the head.At impact, the ultra-thin forged titanium crown deflects significantly, but the heavy-weight sole thrusts forward.As a result, the entire body twists, and this twisting return creates a large repulsive force.It also has an assist function that significantly reduces distance loss and directional blurring, with extremely low energy loss in the event of a miss-hit.This feature can be felt through the thick impact.

Basically, select the same number of UT as the conventional model.The loft angle is 2 degrees higher than the previous model, but the launch angle is the same.The rolling distance on the green does not change, but the carry difference with the same number of club is about +5 yards in no wind, and +10 yards more in against wind.

It is possible to replace the screws by yourself if you purchase a dedicated wrench (¥550 incl. tax) and the necessary weights (¥1,320 incl. tax / 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10g). However, when replacing the head by yourself, be sure to insert the screw vertically. If the female thread on the head side is damaged, it will not be covered by the manufacturer's warranty. In such cases, the head must be replaced. (Head replacement fee: ¥57,200 (tax included)).

Since the UT hits the ball on the ground, it is essential to hit the ball with the same impact as with irons. However, unlike irons, the face of the UT is in front of the shaft, so if the ball is struck with a scoop or pay-off, the impact point will be at the bottom of the face and contact with the ball will not be made properly. If you are not good at UT, you are often misplacing the ball. It is most important that you are in an address to hit the ball downward blow. Keep the hands ahead of the ball as if it were an iron. Try to hit the ball then the turf with MAXIMA U.

If you hit the ball in this way with a typical UT, the launch angle will be low, making it difficult to get enough carry and stop on the green. However, with MAXIMA U, even with a downward blow impact, a sufficient launch angle can be secured, making it possible to stop the ball on the green while achieving a long distance.
