GRINDWORKS MB-1 PROTOS
These delicious things were designed by MR EPON of yore, S-yard -, > Kobayahsi san
its prob no coincidence that 3 of these alomst exact same shape heads were about pretty much the same time, these, 7 and mirai ground by shinagawa , mid 2010s +/- , ive played them all and they wre all super.. but i kept these ones for no other reason than they wer the last ones i recieved cud /wud easily have had any of the others...
As for lines on an mb, these and the honma 727m are about as catchy as an iron can possiblly get., no similarites at all but equally . delish to the eye.
ok so thyese launch FKKN HIGH for a MB. they go to the moon, mine are sahfted with NS proto DP (120x) that in my masdas DONT fly high so , i m guessing the head shape takes a lot of that repsonisibility.
at address they set up slightly offset but nothing tht cud dstress a non off set lover. there is definatly some ,esp if u comare it the above mantioned HONMA for eg.. , they are a thicker , meatier mb with a semi thin sole, small comact head volume with a feel, u need to check to make sure u hit the ball ! , this ombos shaft.head is redciulsoly soft. thing any epon, mizuno, onoff.. its RIGHT up there with those if in fact. not more so!
BTW thats not what i prefer in a head i like somehting with a bit of information where u hit the ball , my fave eg of that is a tour yamaha. prgr, tourstage > endo feel. i have no idea how a club can feel differnert when its sposed to be made of the same stuff at the same factory.. but after hititng pills from these JPN foundres for 3 billion millenai ........ oils AINT oils!
Now as they have a thicker over all presense to them, i dont tend to play these on hard pan, or dry cond. For mid smmer in moist lands however these are out f this world. can play these heads in a typhoon esque water cond and not miss a beat.
im not 100% satisfied with the shaft selection i put in them if i did them again id put DGs200,/ tt monacco/ super peening blue, shimada tour 115s in them to give me a bit more instant information on strikes, IF u dont like a bit of rigidity then as they are cant be beaten for out and out " feel" .
they are very workable can comfortably move these to your mind wishes with ease.
they have what they call a dynamic centre of gravity (DGP) the 4-iron having the lowest center of gravity. for
easy flight and increased distance. 5, 6, and 7, have a slightly higher center of gravity for maneuverability and direction priority . , the 8, 9, and PW, have a higher center of gravity, stable trajectory and easier control of ball spin, to shoot at pins
top drawer irons i dont play a ton but when i do take them out , im always glad i did.
