Welcome!

PP sent chief. Thanks!

That I’ll take Stu. If it’s not sold, please confirm and I’ll transfer. It’s silly now and I have 6 drivers - this head is too good to pass up though.

37,5” if I measure it right. Maybe slightly longer.

Ok, please let me know if he wants the irons head only or shafted. He can perhaps sell the shafts? Sweden is rediculous as I have to pay 75 bucks to have them pulled..

The cost for me to remove the shafts is greater that their value to me so the price would be the same for heads only. Shipping is slightly cheaper though at 35 usd for heads vs 55 for shafted. 350 + shipping seems like a fair price to me so if we split shipping, that should be more than good. Deal?

Hey, they are for sale. Thought about putting my new shafts in them but I have so many iron sets so yes.

Nobody wants to part with their Kuros. I wonder if it has to do with the fact that they are awesome or that nobody actually has them.

I’ll take it. Plus something else.

Are these wedges conforming? I.e. no issues in tournament play? How compact are they in regards to SDJ Proto 115? Thanks

Thanks Rob

After the longest drought here since I joined in 2007 I thought it best to start a new topic. I’m interested in the 2017 Kuro irons as I’m getting old and never practice. They look so easy to hit and I’m guessing that the thicker topline has something to do with that. It seems to inspire confidence. The Yamaha Tourmodel or Yonex ezone Chiba MB’s that I alternate between are both awesome and I do hit them well. But I think that getting a slightly bigger sweetspot will create a couple more GIR per round and thus, as I can’t chip worth of sh*t, a couple more pars/birdie opportunities. Now, who’s hit them or held them in their hands? How do they look/feel? What should I have them shafted with if I do buy them? I have KBS tour in S, hard-stepped once in my Yamaha and Crazy Target Tour in X in my blades. I would want just a little more altitude from the Onoff’s but I tend to think that the design of the heads will help me with that as it is. Driver ss is 105, 7-iron distance about 165 these days. Please give me some feedback guys.

How will that impact things when I shaft it with a standard wedge shaft? If at all. Just tring to understand here.

What does it mean that the hosel is reamed?

I'm looking to buy (or trade - have tons of bites) a set of Onoff Kuro 2017. Preferably 4-46° but can do 5-46° too. LMK. Björn

Will you ship to Sweden?

Fourteen RM-22 60/10 raw is another option.

I'm looking for a raw or black wedge head, straight rather than rounded leading edge, not low bounce, great to new condition. I like compact classic wedge styles like A-grind/SDJ proto/Seven ST etc. Let me know what you have. Have loads to trade with or can buy outright. Whatever you like.

So we’re saying the same thing really Chris. That from a tech perspective - as far as we know, there is no comparison to Benock - however from a user perspective one might fancy a Gold’s; Armsgain; Gauge; Yamada or whatever. They all do great work but the precision and capabilities that Benock have a far and above the others. Again, I have a Benock that is not right for me, but the face with the 3d milling, the feel and the craftsmanship is awesome. As it is not right for me it will not move my Gold’s out of the bag. Had I had a Benock done for me I’m sure it would spend more time in the bag than any of my other putters.

I had the 2013 version and it was not for me. Way too fat and shallow resulted in ballooned balls. The profile of the 2017 is much nicer. However - the goose neck is rather up front and personal - not for me. I still hope someone can ”borrow” Tanihara’s Honma DI for me.. It looks so good! Might kick the Buchi out of my bag. The 2017 is made in Sakata if I’m not mistaken.

I used to game the huge Jack aluminum MacGregor ? On 17 after a 3-putt I tossed the ball up and gave it a good whack. The clubhead must have flown 60 yards... nonetheless it was a bad ass putter.

Well, from a tech prespective I’m sure you are right. Benock is probably a good ways ahead of Gold’s/Scotty Xerox/everyone else and their momas. To me though, the mods Gold’s does and the finish on the putters I have and have had - phenomenal. There is no point in comparing them to say one is inferior to the other in my book. They are different, have different raison d’^etre, and provide a different product/service than the other. Apples/pears? Rolls/Koenigsegg? I believe that the carbon Kitada (I think?) Gold’s Private Stock #2 is every bit as good as any other putter I’ve laid my hands (and eyes) on, including the Benock I have. Also, carbon steel feels better than GSS/SUS303 to me all day long.

No cure either. "Everyday I'm shuffling..."

Great that there is some life here when these rare items pop up every now and then. Would love to bite the bullet one of these days.

I love it when that happens. We still have something to work for ?. And there is that wife part too: ”11 is not a lot at all, Stu has 75”.
