nobmontana Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 well, my wrist injury turned for the worst and ended up rupturing tendons in my small finger. got surgery last Wednesday. Golf season is over for me. Sigh... On the brighter side, I get to start day dreaming about my WITB for 2016! Thinking about switching my 3 & 4 Hybrids with Utility Irons. looking at Buchi SP 301 , Fourteen Type 7 or Honma TW-U as my candidates. Probably will use Crazy STP 85g to pair up. I like softer denser forged iron like feel off the face, but doesn't have to be forged. Used to play a Mizuno MP Fli Hi 24 deg for a while which I really liked feel wise. I did not like feel of the Epon AF 901 which had more of a hollow feel to it. mid launching or higher preferred. Any feedback on these Ute Irons would be appreciated. Thanks!

robbie Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Damn, that is horrible news.....good luck with rehab and recovery.....at least you can do a ton of core exercises and leg workouts in the off season..... * I'm currently trying out the Adams DY driving type irons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobmontana Posted September 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Thanks, Robbie. Yup, more time in the Gym would be good for me anyway! One of my playing buddies has been using the Adams DY. He loves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akapur Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Nob Sorry to hear about your injury, hopefully you will have a full speedy recovery. The Honma and Agrind DI's are very nice solid feeling clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobmontana Posted September 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Thanks Ash , Forgot about the A Grind utes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-500 Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Can't comment on the ones you're interested in, but I prefer the 2012 Srixon DI over the 901, so maybe you should give the latest Sriky a blast. Looks good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobmontana Posted September 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Srixon... Z U45 looks to be the current model.. cool. Thanks Ian!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tae Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I'm sorry about your injury noboru san. I hope you get out there soon. If you like dense feel if DI, can't beat syb. Epon, srixon, honma, and a grind are good..... but man...... that dense feel of syb is addicting. You should seriously consider syb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

needmoregolf Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 sorry to hear that nob, and hopefully you make a full speedy recovery! it's gonna be hard to tone the hoing down now, but good luck! oh, and I guess that means we should all look forward to your garage sale next season!! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 ah DIs! the story of my golf Hoing career. HYBRIDS ARE love and hate when they are good they are good, bad they are awful. Di's are sleepers and overall better performers for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveraul Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Speedy recovery Nob! Wish you a cool head when building the bag for 2016! Using the Fourteen HI-858 2I (18*) now.. You might consider it, although it feels a bit hollow but very soft on impact.. Doing well for me thus far, although my misses are going right.. Might be the shaft that's not working well with my swing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLL33 Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Best for a full and speedy recovery from me, too, nob. (A-Grind clubs are quiet sleepers across the board. Just had a personal best round on Fri with the CB's, the hybrid, and the wedges in my bag. Am even going to shaft up the driver one of these days...) --Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
