  1. Separate topic on the same equipment: I am using a TaylorMade Burner 22deg Rescue but found it a bit to heavy. Preferring irons, I am thinking of the 901 utility. What would be the lightest shaft you could fit? Believe it or not I can hit my 3-iron better than my rescue club.
  2. I have been wondering if anyone compared the three sets of irons. I liked the 701 it has a better feel than the 702. The 703 is yet to be launched in Indonesia.
  3. Only Japanese brands have the top-end models like this: Maruman: Majesty line Mizuno: Monarch line Honma: the 5-star line Kasco: don't remember, but they have and many others. The prices are beyond this world and some senior wealthy people I met swore by them.
  4. Hi hbui Have you installed the shaft you wanted? My swing speed is about the same as yours. Please keep us updated.
  5. I just bought an x-wedge by TourStage as well, 60 deg loft, 8 deg bounce. There is a chain of Japanese owned golf shops. They are at PGA driving range, above Papaya supermarket at Blok M, on Radio Dalam and inside the MidPlaza office building. Right now they have a sale and the prices beat those Tourspecgolf ... I paid US$108 equivalent. Your quote US$159 after discount. I think Jakarta has the best prices in golf equipment.
  6. I tried these on a range once and am very impressed. The description is correct, not a player CB but more challenging than GI ones. Something for high handicappers who want to grow into. In fact it is in my short list of favourites. Impressive distance for a steel shaft with the expected accuracy from it. The NS Pro V90 is constant weighted at exactly 90 grams. I haven't hit it but surely should feel more consistent.
  7. It probably is but what's your comment supposed to mean? We are happy discussing current findings on an old topic ..
  8. Anyone tried the Yonex line?
  9. It's the same as asking what is the best driver out there. The best should be the most fitting! Today's Golfer tested 48 balls from premium to budget. A very interesting read. Balls are tested by a pro, a high and a medium handicappers. Short game spins as well as long drive ones are measured. Over 4000rpm is considered good for short games around the green and just over 2000 rpm for long drives are preferred. Yet better is an article about ball fitting. There are four players who were analyzed to see whether the balls they are using match their playing characteristics. A high handicapper was told to switch out of the Pro V1 because it creates higher spin then necessary so his slices were exaggerated. A skilled golfer was recommended to change to Pro V1x from V1 to reduce the spin both on the long drive as well as the short games. Another test in blindfolded feel test on balls. Use putter without inserts and strike the ball blindfolded. Which has the best feel? Also cover the ears with earphones so the sound will not influence the feel. I learned something new.
  10. Thanks Richmond. I'll take note of your advice when talking to the club fitter. Another approach is that I would custom order direct from the manufacturer with my requirements. I'd be surprised if they don't take this issue into consideration when fitting the shafts.
  11. Maruman Exim Nano? Yeah, I got one. Pretty long for a slow swinger.
  12. Well don't despair, my friend. What I like seems also to be either fattening, sinful or illegal
  13. Sorry for my ignorance but what are the advantages of non-constant weighting? I recently found that the GS-75 is a bit sportier and more challenging than the NS Pro's. I think I should go with the True Temper, but now need to compare the Miura and the Mizuno. The Miura is crispier but the Mizuno is more buttery and weightier. The Mizuno is cheaper though
  14. I am thinking of a Miura CB-301 set or Mizuno MP-57 to be equipped with either the GS-75 or the 750GH. Anyone has experience with the above combinations? I am a slow swinger with high handicap but do not like graphite shaft and prefer the consistency of steel shaft.
  15. Which of the Miura Giken's line is most suitable for high-handicapper? Presumably the Passing Point?
