Introducing Ryoma Maxima III Type D Driver

Here at TourSpecGolf, we’re huge fans of Ryoma equipment. Their designs are some of the most refined and well-thought-out, always translating into noticeable performance gains for our customers.

The new MAXIMA III, like its predecessors, is packed with cutting-edge technology. Let’s dive into an overview of the MAXIMA III models to help you decide which version is best for you.

MAXIMA III Models:

TYPE-D: This is the best seller, suitable for a wide range of golfers. It features a slightly closed face and internal weighting that supports a draw.

TYPE-V: Ideal for players who struggle with hooks, this version offers a square face angle and neutral internal weighting. The swing weight is slightly heavier as well.

SPECIAL TUNE (non-conforming): Recommended for golfers who don’t play in sanctioned tournaments. Not suitable for players swinging over 100 mph, as the thinner face may crack. This driver features a high COR, transferring more energy at impact for higher ball speeds and increased distance. Even off-center hits benefit from this, offering more distance with less effort without sacrificing control.

Ryoma has benchmarked the world’s top-selling and most popular drivers to deliver something noticeably superior in performance, feel, fit, and finish.

The new MAXIMA is designed for extremely low spin, allowing it to fly straight and far, resulting in a big carry. As the ball lands at a shallow angle, it creates a large forward kick and roll. The three key factors are high initial ball speed, extremely low spin, and high trajectory.

 

Dual Head Structure

Combining two different heads, top and bottom

The design theory combines two heads with different characteristics—one focused on control and the other on power. This results in a head that naturally pivots during impact, creating a high-launch, high-draw shot with very low spin. The added weight distribution on the bottom half makes the head turn automatically, increasing impact time by 15%. This design produces shots with a higher trajectory and more carry, perfect for getting those extra yards with minimal effort. The Type-V (neutral-biased version) does not promote a draw as much as the Type-D.

Mechanism by which the lower head works

The lower head weighs approximately 140g (72% of total head weight), while the upper head weighs 55g. The lower head rotates toward the ball, acting like a pivot point, and in the Type-D, it naturally produces a high trajectory and high draw shot. The Type-V promotes a high trajectory.

Ryoma found a new way to provide players with launch and extremely low spin without sacrificing distance—something that traditionally has been difficult to achieve. A super low-spin head typically doesn’t provide enough spin for slower swingers to get the launch they need for optimal distance.

 

Metagrid Face

When a driver face flexes vertically during impact, it can increase backspin due to upward friction from the loft. Ryoma tackled this issue by developing a face that flexes less vertically and more horizontally. They achieved this by repeatedly forging titanium, altering its rigidity by 150% in different directions. The result is the Metagrid Face, which behaves like a tightly-strung racket, releasing high-speed, low-spin shots for greater distance and accuracy.

 

Triple Impact

In a typical driver head, only the face flexes during impact. However, the MAXIMA III’s innovative design creates three distinct impact points. First, the Metagrid Face flexes at the initial impact, followed by the high-elasticity rim around the face in the mid-phase, and finally, the high-rebound body flexes at the end. This “Triple Impact” creates an exceptionally wide sweet spot, ensuring that even on mis-hits, ball speed remains high, significantly improving average driving distance.

Shaft Options

Tour AD MX-3: The MX-3 shaft is designed to fully harness the innovative center of gravity characteristics of the MAXIMA III head. Development started from scratch, resulting in a shaft that delivers high repeatability of pure center hits and produces a strong, piercing trajectory. It offers excellent control to prevent slices and features a versatile performance that suits any swing type.

Beyond Power III: Achieving improved contact consistency and reduced spin, the Beyond Power III is the flagship model that strikes the perfect balance between increased distance and better score performance.

Beyond Power III Light: With a 2g weight reduction and increased flex, the Beyond Power III Light allows for sharper swings. Despite being a lightweight shaft, it keeps up with powerful swings without lagging. It caters to a wide range of players, from average golfers to female athletes.

Beyond Power III Plus: The Beyond Power III Plus is designed as an athlete model, with a slightly heavier and stiffer build. You can swing hard without worrying about ballooning shots or hooks. This shaft is crafted for those who love to hit with power, providing both top amateurs and average golfers with the confidence to deliver strong, controlled shots every time.
