Yamaha Inpres DriveStar Series: Elevated Performance
Yamaha Golf recently expanded their popular Inpres family with the cutting-edge new DriveStar Series, comprising driver, fairway woods, utilities and irons.
Replacing the UD+2 range, the DriveStar Series boasts completely revamped designs and innovative new technology to cater for even more golf enthusiasts who aim to improve their games.
Key to the elevated performance of the DriveStar Series are an all-new Boostbox and Speedbox structure, a unique Counterweight System, larger high Moment of Inertia (MOI) hitting area, a Carbon Crown to lower the centre of gravity (CG), new X37 Steel material and high density tungsten weights.
Driver
The new Inpres DriveStar driver is equipped with Yamaha’s improved Boost Ring Technology, which results in higher ball speeds for more distance. The unique Counterweight System allows the driver to achieve an extremely high MOI of 5,570g/cm2, optimising flight characteristics for greater distance and enhanced accuracy.
The Carbon Crown combines with the new head design to make the driver even more appealing to golfers of all skill levels, across the entire age and gender spectrum.
Lofts and Flexes:
Men’s – 9.5° (Stiff), 10.5° (Regular, Stiff Regular & Stiff) / Ladies – 13°

Fairway Woods & Utilities
The Yamaha Inpres DriveStar fairway woods and utilities combine an X37 monolithic casting method and Carbon Crown to lower the CG by 2mm compared to the previous UD+2 models. This design advancement results in higher and straighter trajectories across the entire range.

Irons
The new Inpres DriveStar irons boast a sleeker design and narrower topline compared to the UD+2. These visual changes will appeal to a wider range of golfers, especially those who prefer a thinner and sharper look in their irons.
The clubhead is made using precision casting of X37 Steel, which is a high strength and durable alloy. In addition, a 46g tungsten weight in the cavity creates an extremely low CCG location, thus promoting high trajectories and accurate, soft-landing shots.
Yamaha’s 3-Point Resonance Technology utilises precisely-placed ribs on the upper toe area of the face to improve impact efficiency and generate higher initial speeds.

Men’s (5-9, P, A, S - 8pcs) – Fujikura Speeder NX for Yamaha (Regular & Stiff Regular) / NS Pro NEO (Stiff)
