Thepro1 Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 First time poster and fairly new member here @ TSG. I look forward to being a regular and have enjoyed reading the many posts thus far......alot of knowledgeable members here. Now for my actual post... I have been a big Yamaha fan for years (dating back to the Yamaha Secret Carbon Irons of the early 90's) however once Yamaha stopped distribution in the US it certainly became harder to obtain such equipment. I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about the Yamaha GRX irons. Can't find any info on them but I'm really liking the look. As a golf professional here in the US the access to golf equipment is endless, however access to Japanese golf equipment is not. Thanks to TSG I will now be able to keep up on (and purchase: a new concept for me) what is considered to be some of the best engineered equipment on the planet! Oh...and I just made my first purchase here...the Yamaha caddie bag (can't wait for it to arrive!) I look forward to all your input:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Welcome to the forum! There are definitely quite a few fans of Yamaha irons and clubs here as they make some wonderful equipment. In their current lineup, the Inpres X Drivers, i.F.F. Fairway Woods and Inpres X Irons are the big standouts. The GRX lineup is there premium lineup, kind of the way Lexus is for Toyota. The irons are a 3 piece iron, a Forged Beta Titanium face, with a full titanium body and 90g tungsten weight in the cavity. Very high tech stuff. (^_^) One iron that you may be interested in is the wonderfully forged Inpres X V Forged, regular and Tour version.

MikeAK Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 So I’m thinking about purchasing a set of 90-92 Yamaha secret irons. I’m a new golfer, they want $100 for them. Any advice? Thanks! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Best Yamaha Iron ever made.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-500 Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 Save up some more cash and get a set from '09 to '13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bngolfer Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 It just so happens that I have the 2013 Yamaha Tourmodel with Diamana Thump shafts in them. They are slightly more than $100 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobmontana Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) The original Yamaha Secret irons essentially copied the shape of Ping Eye2 irons and added decorative carbon fiber plate on the back cavity. I would not pay $100 for something like that. If that is the type of shape you like and you want JDM, a 2012 Tourstage X Blade GR Forged has a similar shape but is fully forged with mild Carbon Steel (likely Endo forged) You can find a set with NS950GH shafts for $200-$300 easily.
