  1. Hurt me, you guys, hurt me... <g>

    Yeah, I remember the sensation when I'd catch one of these occasionally just right... Would make a grown man cry-y-y...  

    Would someone please buy these before I have to bring them back to daddy... 

  2. Nice to have a fresh visit with these beauties, B. Like seeing a kid making his way in the world and still looking good, maybe even better. 🤩 Still hurts a little that they left home, but glad they're in good hands and hope that continues. 

    GLWS. These are right up there with the finest irons I've ever seen here in JDM-land. 

  3. Thanks to all. They are something...  And you're making me want to pull them... <g> 

    And yeah, the eaSpade, it rolls so nice, it has the hefty-est weight and feel of all the Benocks I've tried. I still count my Pantaleone my No.1. and  I thought I'd be using the eaSpade if/when I ever got back to Ireland or Scotland on the links greens where I always found a little more weight was warranted. But it don't look like that's in the cards for me, I'm sorry to say... 

    Anyway, I welcome you, too, Darren. No offense was taken, I assure you. (I already punched Stew's card... <g>  )  

  4. Two gorgeous Benock putters  that I've finally decided to part with since it doesn't look like my back will ever let me indulge them... and it seems a shame to just have them sitting here in my living room collection bag. Neither have ever so much as seen the outdoors, just the living room rug...  Absolutely like new, not a mark on them. I've tried them all, and for me, nothing compares to a Benock.

  5. I have the 1st Gen MCB's, and they absolutely ended my long & winding road through just about every iron possible. Never felt anything like them, never anything better. (My review from way back is up here somewhere, you could find w/ search if interested)  I too say go for it., you won't regret it. 

    best & GL

  6. That comes as close as possible for me, for when I think or say JDM, it's about the feel. Over the years, JDM has always said to me quality, craftsmanship, artistry, feel -- by definition the very opposite of the US OEM's. 

    I think Stu's story about Stone Bridge sums this up nicely. Many of the JDM lines have stories like this in their history. What do the US OEM's have? Supply chain maximaztion.

    I guess the one thing I would add is the old line I usually answer with when a guy in a foursome asks how much did that putter cost you:  If you have to ask... JDM is not for you. 

  7. More than "pretty decent," Stu -- more like awesome! For anyone wanting a top set curated by The Man on this Forum, you wouldn't be able to put a better one together with all kinds of time and effort... 

    GLWS, man. And GL to the buyer.

  8. Thanks, Nob. My surgery worked for a few weeks, then the pain came back even worse. I know that happens in a lot of cases, but still it was very dispiriting...  Since I had tried virtually everything else I knew of, I was really down until someone put me in touch with a guy doing stem cells here locally. After much thought, I decided to give it a try despite the cost (it's not covered by insurance...), and so far, so good. The pain evaporated very quickly after treatment, and I'm just now beginning to be able to exercise again. Like I said, I have hopes at this point. We'll see where it goes...  But I do think stem cells are the future of all kinds of treatments. I'm only sorry that US research was set back by years during the W administration... but that's another story...  Anyway, thanks for the good wishes. Always great to read your posts and see what you're up to. Best to you for the holidays.   --RL

    ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh buddy.... thats some horrible news. I feel your pain , ive been contemplating   my situation as well ,while not as advanced as yours I have to make some tough decisions  soon as well . alas life marches on

    those a-grinds........................that as good as ive seen.

    such a tragedy.

    Yeah, big sighhhhhhhhh... that about says it.........  This is the longest I've gone without playing in... 20 years...  and I was doing 150+ rounds a year, plus weekends chipping and putting around my backyard green...   Always felt like I was doing the Gary Player thing with my fitness routines, etc...  But life finds a way to reach us all, doesn't it...?  Anyway, like I said above, I have some hope with the latest thing, the stem cells. Reached a point where these beautiful clubs sitting here in my office were doing a little tormenting more than making me smile though. Still not totally sure I want to part with them... <g>  Reached kind of a c'est la vie with them the other day, so put them up to see if anyone worthy here wanted to adopt them...    ;=]

    Dang sorry to hear about the back. I had C6-7 fused with micro surgery ten years ago then retired five years later and took up golf after laying off in ‘93. So in time I’m hopeful you get back in some form. GLWS I’m smitten over the Agrind

    Thanks, man. Yeah, it's been rough, which from your experience, I can see you understand. Can't even go into all the stuff I've tried and been through -- a lot of it felt like torture...  But the latest treatment -- stem cells -- seems to be working. I've been hopeful a couple of other times, so I'm slow to let myself be that now... but I'm... well... hopeful.  (And yeah, those A-Grinds... Hard for me to believe I've even put them up here... <g>  )

  11. Hi, guys, been a while, but after a year and a half of trying everything from physical therapy to surgery to heal herniated discs in my lower back, it's time for me to admit I may not get back to fully appreciate my carefully curated collection of JDM clubs...  So... I'm offering up some of the best of them in hopes that they'll find a better home in someone's hands here on the Forum. As always, you can see I spared nothing in assembling these, and I assure they're in top notch condition -- in fact, barely played. Enjoy!
