  1. gbs what is your swingspeed as well as swing characteristics.....smooth tempo, quick tempo, etc. Thanks. Jim
  2. Where in the world is the Ryoma Demo Club, anybody know? Any new feedback from those that have had an opportunity to try it out? Restlessly waiting for it to arrive in the Hawaiian Islands! Jim
  3. Don't leave us hanging......is there something we need to know about Kenmochi?
  4. I jumped on the April Demo Yururi Tour 50* and 58* wedge heads Chris was selling. I now have to fill the gap between them preferably with a 54* wedge. Yururi Tour doesn't come in a 54* so I'd have to bend a 56* to 54* and according to Chris it should be no problem bending the 56* to achieve the 54*. I can also buy a Kenmochi 54* and not have to deal with having it bent. Any suggestions would be helpful. I believe the Yururi Tour requires a taper tip shaft, does the Kenmochi as well? Thanks! Jim
  5. Can you upload some video at regular speed, slow motion doesn't really do it, I want to see it at it's raw best. For old guys like me when I really go after it and swing out of my shoes, oxygen bottle and walker I get to 92 mph and a trip to the chiropractor!
  6. I play a combo set of the 701's and 302's and have hit demo clubs of the 502. I agree with Chris that the 502 is not that great of a feeling iron, kind of numb feeling even when flushed as compared to the 302. For a players cb the 302 offers a good bit of forgiveness and when you're striking the ball well no club I've played feels better. The 701 clubs I play have been reshafted with some GD Tour AD shafts thanks to Fatman's generous offer to me which I need to post in this forum about, and these shafts have helped the feel of these irons considerably but to me they are still a harsher feeling club. If foregiveness is your primary concern go 702, if feel and control is your bag go 302 and if you're somewhere in between do like I did and get a combo set of 701's or 702's and 302's. The only issue I guess with the combo set I have is that because of the stronger lofted 701's my set is 6, 7 (701's) then 7, 8, 9, PW (302's). It's a pretty seemless match loft wise believe it or not but when someone looks in your bag or the guys are cleaning your clubs after the round someone always asks "do you know you have two 7 irons"? Jim
  7. Stew, what do you do if you need a 53 or 57 or heaven forbid a 59 or 60 with that setup?
  8. PM sent, are the Yururi's taper or parallel?
  9. I have managed to save enough cash to make my next JDM purchase which is a set of wedges. 50 or 52/56/60 and I'm considering the Geotech and Yururi because not only do they look nice to my eye but most importantly they fit the price guidelines for a retired guy living on a fixed income! Anyway, I generally play courses with tight lies around the greens and I'm looking for a wedge that can be opened up easily and offer the ability to be played from those tight lies. I also like to hit full shots with gap and sand wedges and use the lob wedge for more of the finesse type shots. If there is any strength to my game, which there isn't, but i do like to think my wedge game stands taller than any other part so I am really hoping that one of these wedge sets will serve me well. Thanks for any info! Jim
  10. Just stumbled into this thread, so to speak, but thought I'd throw in my $.02. I'm a Highlland Scotch lover, Glenmorangie (Sherry) being my favorite and once a year I buy the Glenmorangie 25 Year Old and sneak away by myself to enjoy it, no sharing this stuff!! What did George Thorogood say "when I drink alone I like to be by myself"! I also have gotten into some high end sipping bourbons for a change but that's for another thread. Before I moved to Maui I lived in Colorado in the US. If any of you are ever in Denver there is a place called Pints Pub in the downtown area that advertises it has more Scotches than any other bar this side of Scotland. If you love scotch and you're in Denver check it out. Jim
  11. Kind of a shameless bump for you Craig but hopefully others will be inspired to do the same as you said above. It truly is nothing but a couple of hundred bucks to you but with what you intend to do with those couple of hundred bucks may be a life saver to some needy others in Japan.
  12. Stew I was starting to struggle a bit with my 302's and a friend told me to go to the range, take a sharpie pen and one of those gizmo's that you use to draw a line on your putter and mark up several of the range balls with a line like you would for putting. Place the ball so the line is perfectly straight up and dowm (90*) to the ground and hit some shots with each club. Check the mark on your clubface as to locattion as well as to whether it's straight up and down or leans one way or the other (towards the toe or heel). I found several of my clubs had lines that were badly leaning toward the heel. I had a local guy bend them to a more proper lie and my ball striking improved. Jim
  13. kuregu, you're a very good man and an absolute class act doing what you're doing!!!!!!! Jim
  14. I'm like a broken record on this one but IMHO you would be hard pressed to find a more perfect looking CB at address (and to me that's the only look that matters) than the Epon 302 irons. Jim
