Have you heard of this brand: Super Force ITO I.D.L. Corporation Driver

[blazingazn]

Hi all, I'm brand new here!

I have an opportunity to buy an apparently high quality light weight Driver.
However, I can't find information on the brand. A good friend is selling it to me, he has never used it and purchased it a well know golf store here in Vancouver.

Info:
SF Super Force I.D.L. Corporation ITO
Competition Driver
460CC
D10 (degrees)

Shaft:
Super Force
Competition Lite 55
Low Torque
55 Gram
R-Flex

Pics are attached.
Can anyone speak to this brand or its quality, have you seen this before?
Apparently it is a high quality Japanese brand.

I googled and found they may have went out of business in 1996 registered in Honolulu Hawaii as I.D. Corporation.

Thanks in advance.

bump for info?

I've never heard of it. It's probably an off-brand club and I'd probably recommend you buy something with a name you - and most everyone else - will recognize.

Maybe your friend is right, but if forced to bet, I'd bet against him.

I can't find this club on my best source for Japanese clubs.

That's disappointing, went to the driving range with it.
Plays great and very light. Can't really tell on quality because I'm not very good.

How much is your friend asking for the club?

$150, definitely a decent quality driver, but not a brand Ive heard of.

Is 55 grams very good for shaft weight... is the lighter the better

Reminds me of the Macgregor Mactec NVG Driver

i have actually heard of the brand and played their clubs before.

it's interesting that not too many people know about them. but it's actually a really good club. i still have the hybrid and fairway wood in play. the driver i had was the ito quad or something driver, but man that thing was super straight. it was super light too.

i think the clubs are regularly quite expensive. i found it here in japan and saw their drivers for about 50,000 jpy. for what your friend is selling it for you should buy it! that's a steal! i'm sure you'll start to see more people using that brand if a big store in your area is selling it for cheap.

Yeah I ended up grabbing it.

Very good price.

I'm loving it, wasn't as forgiving as my old driver, but this is very light and has a straight shot as long as I don't mess it up.

My partner has a driver and a 3 wood in this brand.  I happen to try them today and loved them so much I went on line to find out where I can buy my own driver and woods.  I could find nothing on them except your question.  I guess they are out of business.  Too bad......
