supo 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2017 not hit a ball yet. only been to the range a cpl of times only since novemeber. lost my mojo for golf. im desperately trying to find it!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supo 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2017 allllllllllllllrighty JDM bag fans. 2017 just (finally) got under way. 225 balls at the range last night meant my heads back where it feels most comfy, hitting JDM good ness. remembering JDM means japan DOMESTIC market.. NOT MIJ that's a huge difference that most seem to simply misunderstand. took all my 6 irons out for a russle , and well theres a lot of them.but the standout consistency set was the Prgr IDBL WITH NS 105 protos. lighter than I like but early days its a no brianer, the 4 iron on these goes like a 6 on other sets , cant deny I need the help early days. ive been doing a 2 months intense stretch/flexability program which seems to have cleared up my tight back issue, this AM I woke without the slightest hint of discomfort. NICE CHANGE!!!! driver wise it was a tougher choice but to start the EPON 101 with diamana stinger 70s + frehight diaman X 70s the got the nod over a host of more , how shall we say more suited to mid season strength drivers .. egg / tataki, kamui pro tataki, jbeam 435 diamana x.... ill wait for some more strength till they get back In the rotation... the freighit is just a fantastic placement tool where as the ep[on I can get pretty funky with, bot h not ubber bombers but to start I don't need bombs that go into birds nests! fairway woods , well there is a new one im not that horribly eeekd by the new(er) srixon /tourstage offerings but one again the older ryoma d1 and MODART won out (pretty easly actually) that ryoma thing is so dam neasy to hit and its huge long and the modart is just money to hit, I absolutely love it! driving iron , im starting with the honma d1 NS950s but the saqra NS 125s certainly gave it a russle , just bit heavy at this stage .n eed the extra height to start. wedges--- all over the place on these but to keep constancy with the irons I went for a set of PRGR nabla tours with NS stx shafts ,a bit bigger face , less room for error sublime feel and well they are just easy to hit. with great grooves and nice controlled spin. putter ive FINALLY gone full mallet based, out go the ansers, blades, u name it , bec. some stage in life if u don't realize that by repeating the same fkkn experiment the same way and expecting a different result , some fkkrs, gonna lock u up and throw way the fkey ! btw u will notice a DISTINCT lack of new brand newest is beautest stuff here. wonder why! happy 17ing all and what a great great win by Sergio. no longer the greatest ever, never to have won, it brought a small tear im not afraid to admit!

bngolfer 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2017 Totally agree on the Sergio win. I too had to wipe them tears. Collin retakes the spot as the best ever to never have won a major (Champions Tour does not count here). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

supo 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2017 wet weaqther bag anyone had a specific bag for the rain. ?? for a start.. gripmaster leather grips on EVERYTHING.. driver = proceeed justick 10* with diamana ali islei 73s. high all carry slightly workable. so so easy to hit and get good carry without it ballooning. 2w = kasco fd 12.5* with diamana stinger 70x. never use a 3 wood off the deck in the wet for fear of diggage so this gets the alt wood spot. 5w=prgr egg 18* with diamana stinger 70xx (driving iron and ute usless in the wet. not enough carry) irons= grindworks MB protos with NS dps ( NS 120xs) thicker all over, top line with some flesh, sole just a bit thiker and a small compact head size. not overly great for moving about the place which is prob a good thing as rain ususlly equates to a bit of moving air. the extra thickness of the leather grips also make it much harder to get cute with and make me hit the ball on a straighter path to begin with. wedges= 52 Yamaha black raw ..........56* syard bold both with shimada smoke . thew 52 rips the bejesus out of the bakkl and the 56 just kinda stays put, can go straight at target and know I wont move all over the place. ball= prgr egg distance. ... this thing is a marshmallow that goes miles nad don't ned extra spin bec the greens hold!

supo 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2018 END of another season of JDM and not 1 POS sepo spam went anywhere NEAR one of my bags. not a chance of that putrid TM mseries whaterver number where up o this month or callies new super spam theory of distribution. Nope only PURE JDM for moi. Nothing new was of any interest driver wise, saw tried a few of them, the new prgr very disappointing... Yamaha is a disgrace nowadays....tourstage doesn't exist....ryomas laterst don't hold a candle to the original D1.....srixon, I mean why??????....... so as it always seems to be, the bespoke makers grab my attention MILES more than the OEMS. roddio did a nice new s-tuning model, jbeam had some ' interesting ideas" but really none can surpass the 435 IMO. freheit did a very nice players 415 cc model.. that's worth a peek.. astro tour v3 is ripper that's prob my head of the year even tho it wasn't from this year... I mean recent years....and the kamui pro tp model is still in the bag as my all carry driver, finding that head hard to compete with let along beat! the astro tour is the only " new" head I kept, none of the others I tired beat out what ive already got. the BIG addition this season was the newer DIAMANA X shaft. its not too unlike the original model from 2013, but its a bit tighter and a lighter feel I find, I spoke to the head techy guy at bishi chem and he said here are subtle differences in the materials *( wudnt expand on that ) and there is a slight perfomramnce improvenment, but none that is easliy quantifiable on course , I tend to agree, the new one feel a bit livelier , the older ones feel a bit more dense and more controlled, the new ones SEEM to give the hitter a sense of added distance , although that wasn't proven in my rounds what so ever but I def fell like im hitting the ball longer with the new model and more controlled with the original model.. if any of that makes sense , its a thing for sure .......... ie if its noice weather id take out the new one, if its windy id take out the old one...its purely placebo im sure... ohg and BTW theyse shafts are MILES better than any other bishi model , tensie etc..... out there material wise... (str8 from the horses mouth!!) X is there top dog and wont be replicated again for cost reasons so bear that in mind . irons...................phooooarrrrr.......... not for me. none of the OEMS even remotely looked good, HONMA disssapointed, prgr was filthy!!!!, I don't even look at bridgestone anymore since they let go of tourstage. Yamaha,see above.... so, MASDA did a lovely set of MB that ill be getting next season, took me a while to like the new modle but I did a siede by side with the lastest MIURA models (yuk!!!!!!!!!!) recently and the masdas blew em all away for looks. The closest was the fujumoto MB but that's a hollow head and a very different beast . So ill be sticking to the old stuff unless something stunning copmes up , but I don't think they will beat in the masdas. that fella does some good things. driving irons/utes , fourteen did a lovely ut716 model ,that literally took over my bag, they wont be for most folk, but they are irreplaceable in my bags now. 17*/21* shafted one with a modus 105 and the other with a diamana stinger saqra ute/ di was a very nice cpl of pieces as well but I prefer the look of the fourteen so they go benched. fairways. nothing to see here at all. nothing beat out the ryoma and prgr egg. wedges..... hmmm nothing here at all as well. putters.. ridiculous, benock was of course the flavour of the year and yes there is a hype abut also the performance to back it. was a beees nudger awy form ordering an ubershlokken early this year only for injury to curtail the order, that will be rectified next year for sure. go get another fitting done to make sure nothing has changed..and hey presto all m y bettis,scottys, can say sayonara. ! so the bags ended up something like this.. perfect day bag : jbeam 435 9.5*/7dreamers kasco FD 12.8*/ diamanan stinger. prgr egg 16.5*/ quadra fire express 75xs or 21* fourteen 716ut/stinger masda (cu) 3/pw / NS 2g18x soft stepped, they have become my fave set. Yamaha raw black 52* gap/ Ns sp orange tourstage x-wedge 51/56 * / NS proto 130x fourteen mt28 60* lw//NS 950s. bridgetsone rs-x balls WINDY day bag : ryoma d1 9* / diamana stinger 70x kasco FD 12.8* / graphite design z9000m 6x. fourteen di 17* / modus 105s masda MB modus 120X Prgr nabla id 51/57 * / NS wv125s yururi 1.618 60* ( bent ) / ns 950s tourstage x01z balls. WET day bag: kamui pro tp 07 10.5* / diamana X 60x buchi 2w 13* / diamana X 70s prgr egg 18* / diamana stinger 70x+ grindworks MB / NS dp X. syard bold 52 + 56 * / monacco X prgr egg balls so that's a 2018 wrap of all things JDM troops. No ral surprises , balls might be the biggest change. loving the yokohaha range this year, PRGR balls are worth a look into , eps the rs spin model, they really do grip and rip. only thing on the horizon is a benock custom and a set of masda mbs for next season that I can forsee. all wrapped up in a new a diamana cart bag. bring on 2019!!!
