Nakashima Htec Titanium Review Driver From NakashimaAvailable in two models 420cc (lofts - 8,9,10,12) and 380cc (lofts 8.5,9.5,10.5). The driver comes standard with Nakashimas NP-65 Tour shaft and Nakashimas Tour Harmony Winn grip. Nakashima Htec Titanium Review Drivers Are OnlyThe NP-1 Titanium drivers are only available through authorized Nakashima dealers. Both the 420cc and 380cc models were easy to align and want to go straight. The stated face angles on both drivers is 0.5 closed, but we found the 380cc model to set dead square while the 420cc model appeared to be slightly closed. Reviewers particularly heaped praise on the 3800cc model for its ability to find the center of the fairway. Even on less than perfect swings the ball tended to stay close to the target line. The golf ball tended to explode off the face and seemed to release more in the fairway with ample roll. Since the drivers are sold only though authorized Nakashima clubfitters, each driver shaft was well suited for our game and resulted in near optimal performance. The trajectory of the 380cc model was described by one evaluator as perfect a nice boring trajectory but with enough height to maximize carry. The 420cc model provided a higher launch while the 380cc model offered a more penetrating trajectory. The sound associated with these drivers is distinct and not as high pitched as many drivers currently on the market. ![]() We found the 420cc model to be more forgiving than the 380cc model. The finish is of high quality and as good as any manufacturer on the market. The traditional shape makes these drivers look smaller than they actually are. We feel that between the two models, Nakashima has a line of drivers that will appeal to golfers of all abilities. We recommend the 420cc model for golfers looking for a more forgiving and higher launching driver and the 380cc model for golfers looking for accuracy and workability. Two of our reviewers have already added a Nakashima driver to their bag. The suggested retail price of 399 each for a non-major manufacturer brand may turn some people off but we found the Nakashima quality combined with a premium custom-fitted shaft by an authorized clubfitter to be worth every penny. The bottom line is that they offer a high quality alternative to todays major manufacturer offering with real performance and outstanding looks.
