Need Help! New shafts for Mizuno JPX E500
Yeah if you play rifles you shouldn't have a problem w/NS stiff all the way to 1150. I have project x 6.0s on my 695s and had them on my Mizuno mp60 and 32s, then used the NS1150s on the Mizzys. I favor the 1150 over the 950 and 1050s. But if you want soft go w/lighter shafts w/more kick like the the Graphite T mentioned. GD shafts are great also for irons.

2007 Yamaha Inpres X Wedge Impressions
Just recieved my 52 and 58 950 gh stiff yesterday. Headed out to Turtlebay Fazio course first thing this morning. Layed up on almost all the holes just to hit the wedges. My first impression after 18 holes w/the wedges: Very satisfied w/spin control and trajectory control. Softer than my spin milled w/way way way more spin. The windy course was perfect to try out the trajectory, I hit the 58* wedge full shots around 75-80 yards today with a amazing control from spin and trajectory. The 52 is a great approach wedge and I found it alittle different from my Miura51*. Setup is not as eye catching, I dont' like the square wedge design anymore (my Mirua) I kinda got used to the yamaha's after just 18 holes but the feel and sound compared to my Miura is completely different. I find the Yamaha alittle more enjoying to hit. (Fun prolly because of the trajectory and spin) Compared to my Seida, not as soft, more spin then the seida, and not as hard to hit. My playing partner today complimented me on the wedges after sampling the 58, and also acknowledged the feel and trajectory is pretty good. Endo forge? no wonder Played Kahuku in the afternoon. Tee off w/the 52 on a short 118 par 3. Talk about soft!! I teed up 2 sleeves just to make sure it wasn't just me.

i am nuts for illegal Stuff
I know GAS wedges are illegal

i am nuts for illegal Stuff
Yep, agree here. You don't need illegal clubs to make the ball draw back 5 ft. For the part about the "raw soft milling hand grind" part; Scratch wedges are pretty solid and customizable at that.

The All New PRGR 500 Wedge!
Very nice!! I have the TR wedge and the TR03, great quality wedges. Would love to try those.

What is your favorite driver shaft brand??
I've tried the GD AD shafts, though never owned one. I think they are fantastic. I personally don't have any problems w/my NV65s. But I am planning on getting a JDM shaft. Most likely a GD MD series.

Yamaha Inpres X V Forged Irons
Yep you should be givin an award for those copper 301s.

Nippon users, what wedge shafts?
Same here, 1150s in my epons, and 950s in the r7 forged; Bl Golds are great in my wedges. Lower flight and great feel.
-
Which shaft with titleist?
I've only had the chance to play USDM shafts, and I've been stuck on my 983k w/an NV75 pured. I have the 905r, 907d2 shafted w/the same shaft, and tried many more. But for some reason I always go back to my 983k. Would love to try the Roddio shafts

Chrome to Satin TSG style
Me father works at Pearl Harbor Navel Shipyard in the water pressure dept. He places different finishes on pipes and other metals all day long. I'm not sure about satin, but Blasting is easy. I asked him to Blast my Friends Warrior woods to make them look like his ping g5 irons. Basic Sand Blast W/oxide pearls, did the job. I gotta get pics and post um, but his woods pretty much identical to his irons. I'm waiting for a ping circa '60s putter I found, asked my father if he can brush the satin on that one... Hopefully I get it back soon and I'll post pics w/how he did it. Indeed the Miura wedge looks great!!

Nippon 950, 1050, 1150 Tour
Same here, 1150s on my Mp60s and epon 301s. Great combo for me.

forged 8620 steel?
Couldn't agree w/you more. I think Endo is a great company! Epon BG, yamaha, prgr, all great clubs by endo. Big Yay! on the Miz irons your getting!! I'm also a Miz FAN! The stuff that comes out of Miz forgings are the softest I've felt. I enjoy hitting my 60s every now and then, but right now the R7 forged is just kicking arse for me. I think its a MAJOR difference from hitting the USDM CAST R7 TP. They really shouldn't be compared side by side. Forged club hands down!!

New wedges for 2008
YAAY can't wait!! I've been thinking about the Epon AF wedges.

forged 8620 steel?
Great info!! Thanks!! I think I'll always end up favoring the forged club. Absolutely love Miura and Yururi wedges. Last question where does the tourstage marus fit into this equation? 99.9 FE carbon? is that the material or is that the finish? I have seen the satin version and it is just a jawdropper.

Exotic Wedges!
Yeah smashing a 300+ is pretty dam sweet and would for sure make my day... Anyway, I think that all of the stuff in the tourspecgolf proshop is pretty much "top of the line/high end" so expect to pay top dollar. Moreover, IMO check the buy sell and trade if you don't want to spend that much first. Alot of times, the guys here are looking to just make room in their closet and who knows, you might get lucky w/a really good deal. If you have really specific questions Gocchin is the man to ask. For me my wedges are also my fav clubs, and was in love w/vokey until I met SEIDA. Just a fantastic feel and precise.

Mizuno Japan
I have to say, regarding drivers; Mizuno JDM's craft 425 and 460 are IMO way nicer to look at than the MP600 or any USDM mizuno drivers for that matter. Plus w/all the shaft options, o_O; I just wish Mizuno US started selling JDM stuff... then of course JDM wouldn't be JDM...
