    Can you tell me the flexes and weight of the Rombax stew, i want to experiment on some stuff. :)
  2. Easy to hit Stew? Better than the AF 901??

    I agree with the Graphite. I was experimenting with the program shafts for my wedge.and they are way more consistent and easier to hit than my steel shafts. I am no pro and i do shank my wedges and it is def an ease to my wrist when that happens LOL. But yes they can be quite expensive as jamnguy1 said thats why i also have not gone down that path for my irons. Been changing too many shafts in the past few months.

    Cpl years ago i also learned about soft stepping. I liked the feel of heavier shafts as i have a tendency to move my wrist with the lighter shaft but i find them too stiff. So Soft stepping do help a bit. Especially now my short irons are heavier and stouter but i ease off on the long irons. (different weight and flex).
  5. Thanks for that. I will look into it.

    Tried it once long time ago, IMO,. I think the graphics on the sole are also a little cheesy also i don't really like its feel very firm and solid. Don't get me wrong i love their wedges and still own some.

    Chris, where are the Akiras made? Few years back, the Akiras and the Swords are big here, not anymore though.

    Where i come from Majority would go for Miura. Myself i am a big Endo Fan. But most of the time, my mates don't realise that many of their Irons are Endo forged. When i buy an Iron set, personally i make sure that they are endo forged, unless they are for experimental purposes. :)
  9. The TJ - 46 also didn't work for me B, I want to go for Crazy again and i am having doubts. After reading your post i really want to try the CB-46 but now I am worried about the flex. I am using the FE 55 SR and i am hitting straight and only sometimes a slight draw. I am wondering what was your Quadra's flex? Is the CB-46 6.7 flex too harsh for you? I also owned the LY-01 and 2 before, both i didn't like now that you said. it felt glassy which i did not like. I hope that the CB is not like that. I still own a TJ - 46 6.2 flex , really not my cup of tea but i still keep it for the sake of just owning one. Oops i didn't see that you wrote you owned the SR flex of the FE. I was hesitant to change because i found that the FE was so nice and i don't have a reason to change except that i could do with a little lesser spin. I was thinking of getting the 6.2 but i thought might be a little to soft for me but am scared that the 6.7 is too stiff. Argghhhhhh the decision is too tough.
  10. wowwww, nothing to say.....

    Hi Stew, Have you seen any CB Miuraism lying aroung in Tokyo. please give me a shout if you do. Thanks mate. I really want to try them. B
  12. I am sure you will like it Chris. My Ryoma has a permanent spot in my bag for now. its long and forgiving. I must be crazy for wanting to try another shaft in it but i will be broke if i have to buy another one just to feed my curiosity. But i am still dying inside to find out what if i slapped in a Crazy CB-46 BLack 6.7 flex in it. hmmmmmmmmmm

    BB thanks for the info , i will start looking into those too. But seriously i was gaming the GS 95, i don't really think that the MOdus 3 are super stout. And by memory the KBS black nickel i tried cpl years ago was stouter that this one.
  14. May i know what is the flex for the Blues.
  15. cant wait for your review, just like how excited i was when i first received it. had many shaft change since then but still curious to go for the CB 46 6.2 or 6.7 flex. HELPPPPP

    I was trying them in my friend's Giken the other day , i thought i could not hit them as they are way too heavy for my. but to my surprise i love love absolutely love the feel of it. launches higher then i expected , great control and didn't feel heavy. I could not not hit my GS 95 after that LOL. i am thinking of changing my low irons with them for trial. BTW any one tell me the difference with the super Peening blues against the Modus 3?
  17. I am surprised that you went for the 9.5* T. I love my ball flight atm with the 10.5 with the FE. not to high but very good roll. How is the TJ-46 Noir compared to the old TJ-46? I have the old one just wondering whats the difference. B
  18. I know exactly what you mean stew, i have been living from a suitcase for the last month. But i always enjoy Singapore except of its constant rain. Well at least enjoy the space and food in Singapore for the time being. Let me know what you want to eat and where you want to go as i know Singapore pretty well. If you are still there next month we might be able to go for a round. :)
  19. I am so out of touch from golf and this forum lately due to constant biz trips. Just got back last wkend and lucky i got to play 9 holes this morning to get a temporary golf fix. I took my Ryoma (coz its the most forgiving driver i got) coz I knew that i would fair badly as i have not been on the range nor been playing for a cpl of weeks. To my surprise as Billy said as well i was just swinging freely and easily (sounds like someone's quote here somewhere ;)) don't try to jerk and over confidently hit that driver and you will get a much better result. The Ryoma just flew as nicely although it does not seem to go that far but Whoaaaa. My buddy was boasting how well he hit his ( he is one of the longest hitter in my CC) and he was going towards the ball that went the farthest as always. To his surprise it was not his ball LOL we all cracked up laughing to see him shamefully backing off to his ball which was about 5 meters behind mine. Although it was not much of a difference but enough to hurt his EGO. That did not happen all the time of course. I was also over confident and try to swing harder but resulting in bad hooks (not as bad as other drivers in the same situation) I guess i really have to control my swing tempo to get the ultimate results. At the moment this is a keeper until Tario comes up with another winner to tempt me. BTW i am wondering how many of you guys out there are using the RYoma? lets put a list down with the specs. this is mine. Ryoma V- spec shafted with Quadra FE 55 SR flex.
  20. I think there are 2 courses or more in Bintan. The one i usually go to is Ria Bintan and thats a Beau. You should try it Stew.

    Those in japan, hope you all are safe. T and stew i heard there was a code orange quake this afro?
  22. gbs replied to gbs's post in a topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
    Frank, i felt that my quadra shaft was too soft , so i did change my Kamui's shaft to the Ryoma the SR flex. the distance is not so much of a difference (there is an increase) but lots easier. So if you are comfortable with your Kamui stick to it for a while until the honey moon period is over. LOL.
  23. gbs replied to gbs's post in a topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
    Seriously ! No trouble at all :)
  24. Hi have you tried Miuras? Or maybe you could go for the Yamaha XV forged Tour , that should fit your requirements. Hope that helps.
  25. gbs replied to gbs's post in a topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
    R, actually they are different flex, i use my old R flex on it just to try. I am thinking of getting an SR flex on it. If you want i can bring it down to HK for you to try in April.
