Ian - PM sent DaleUK - You would be surprised at how easy it is to get in the air and it produces a good boring flight

Yes I have Ryoma D1 V Spec 8.5

They are an excellent club, very soft feel with penetrating ball flight. I am trying to reduce the amount of clubs I have, so this will be the first of many listing. This link will tell you more about these irons http://www.golftoimpress.com/kyoei-zestaim-the-japanese-art-of-forging-irons/

I am having a clear out of my old stock to makeway for the new season. These Zestaim irons havent been used much on the course and always with iron covers. 4 to pw with stiff black gold shafts which have been pured by professional golf europe. They are 1 degree flat with standard length and are the stronger loft version ie 4 - 22, 5 - 26, 6 - 30, 7 - 34, 8 - 38, 9 - 42, PW - 46 Price £800 uk plus postage and package Price Drop £750 uk plus postage and package

I have played both and each one is very high quality blades. However, the Epon for me wins hands down. The easy of use is extraordinary for a blade and feel is softer than the Gold's. Coupled with the right shaft you cant really go wrong with the AF Tour

Yes, I've been playing them for the last few rounds. I will post a review when I have had some more time with them.

Can I order a set with the strong loft via TSG. I know you only have the protoloft (traditional) in the pro shop

Are these available in two different lofts? http://www.kyoeigolf.co.jp/products/tow-heel.shtml There web site seems to point to the fact there would a strong loft and also traditional lofts Can anyone help?

I am only going on a post from Gocchin http://forum.tourspecgolf.com/t28031.html&hl=gold I thought this was the MB but it is the CB Anniversry with both the Gold's & Vega logo on it. In which he states " It looks like Sasaya-san will return with cavity backs and blades from Gold's for 2009. He's been working with Kyoei who he has a good relationship with and testing custom grinds and finishes on a head design that was used for Vega's 50th Anniversry iron which in itself was very limited. He is testing prototypes now... subtle grinding, different finishes and stampings for now" I was always under the impression that Vega was a subsidiary of Kyoei, hense the association with the 50th Anniversry models. Anyway I use the MB and have used the CB, both are very good clubs. I was hoping that Gold's would do there take on this head design?

What ever happened to the MB irons that Gold's have been developing with Vega? If I remember correctly Gold's Factory were going to use the 50th Anniversary MB head with different grinds? Has this project been dropped or could we still see this happening?

The Kamui driver is by far the best driver I have hit in a long time. I used the Epon AF 101 for most of last season and it was a very good driver but the Kamui is just better is all departments. As far as distance goes, your shaft choice is the most important decision about the driver set up. Try the Matrix XCON range, great distance with low spin. The XCON 6 in firm should be ok with your SS. I have tried a lot of shafts but I keep coming back to Matrix, they are very good.

I still can't understand Epons decision for not making their product available on line. If Epon's policy has been from the start to get their products in the hands of great builders/fitters, why would this change by offering on line services. The majority of people who know about Epon would understand their own fitting requirements. It’s a great pity they have taken this approach because many people will now not experience these great products

This is not good for us boys in the UK. We have few dealers but it is much easier to buy online, plus TSG are much cheaper.

You have the best low spin shaft that I have ever used in already (F7M2). I have tried most of the high quality shafts and for me the Matrix F7M2 is the longest.

I used the Vega 50th anniversary CB all season until my Epon blades arrived, all I can say is the Vega's are great irons. I look forward to seeing Gold's take on them, should be good. The metal was 25 on the Vega's but felt very very soft.

These are very similar to the Vega blades, apart from the sole. Are these forged by Kyoei ?

I have been a big Vega fan and the Vega's irons are very good, especially their 50th Anniversary blades but the driver and fairway woods I have used lets them down badly. The woods are not forged in Japan and I would not describe them as high quality. The driver is the same design as the Masker driver which you can pick up on eBay for approx £70.00. The only thing Vega has done is put in very good shaft offerings.

I believe they should be for sale before the year end

So can you let me if this is an open model head, I must admit that I havent seen anything that looks like this. However, you guy's might know different.

You should check with www.vega-golf.com, I have been told that there are only 25 sets of each limited edition model. I must say that the clubs I have from Vega are extremely good (irons and wedges, not the woods). I play a high standard of amateur golf and have played many of the JDM irons. So far the Vega's are the best feedback club that I have hit. I really don't care how old the model is but the L&L are perfect and the feel is fantasic. I wouldn't however use the woods, mainly because Epon are so good in this area and I don't see any better option on the market. Whilst we are on the subject on open head models, are we going to start trashing "Gold's Factory" putters next because the design is old!!, I really hope not since I believe they are the best putters around but it is the same argument.

I am sure you are right but the yuyuri feel softer. Be perpared to lose a ball each time you hit them unless you hit at least 200 "practice"/ range balls

Yururi is softer than the Epon and yes it takes the cover off the ball but if you hit a couple of hundred range balls the club calms down. I find the Epon not quite as soft but a much better club, easier to control the spin and flight Hope this helps

I started out with the same goal to get the Miura's but ended up with Vega. However, I have started increasing the number of Epon clubs in my bag. I have the AF 101, AF 201 and the 208KGX wedges. I have also considered getting the 301's but I hit the Vega's very well and it would be a mistake to change. I am also waiting for Epon to bring out their blades later this year. From the feedback on the 208 wedges I would say my Vega irons feel softer (same for Miura) but the Epon wedges have many other advantages ie I can hit them much lower and the feel is still great. If I was to choose between Miura and Epon, Epon would win,the quality is outstanding.

You should put the F7M2 in to your AF 101, I have the same combo and it works very well.
