Thanks Stew… Interestingly, I recently grabbed an 18* ONOFF UT in place of the 5wd and dropped a wedge in one bag replacing it with a 27*. So I am now playing a 4 UT set up in one bag. Really need to update pics at some point...

Is it just the pipe, sweater and shoes that I am missing to be 6/6?

I have one also if you want it. Have a variety of extra weights as well...

Does anyone know the differences between the Roddio graphite iron shaft and the seemingly new Labo Spec Smooth Kick iron shaft. I know the Labo shafts have existed as a broader offering for a while, but don't recall there being a graphite iron shaft. It seems that since Roddio broadened its line to include clubs and I believe it was sold by Globeride, ONOFF introduced the Labo Smooth Kick shafts as a replacement. So what are the differences?

I had a Diamana X 60S in the Nextage for a little while. That was a killer combo, almost never missed a fairway with. Unfortuntely for me the 60S is too light and loose so I never quite got the timing down to maximize distance. For you and your penchant for the X 70S, I think that would be a new old favorite quite quickly. For the TP, I put a P9003 into an older Taylor 300 Ti driver head and it was a tad too spiny of of combo, but if the burner is a lower spin head than the 300 you might like it too. So my recommendation is: Nextage / Diamana X70S or the new model that is supposed to be similar to it TMTP Burner / GD P or Z 9003

On the MCI front, I have them in a set of wedges, 120X. My comparison to the 125 f5 Recoils with wedges on the ends would be as follows. The MCIs play softer than the Recoils, about 1/2 - 3/4 of a flex, and I think for full shots the Recoils are a more stable shaft. The MCIs provide better feedback on touch and 50% or less shots. For my money, between the two I'd opt for the Recoils assuming price is comparable. However that said, I prefer the Tour Attas to either when I can find them for the same price. I just would not necessarily have BE do the builds unless something has changed in his skill level.

I have one I'd let go of… PM me an offer...

Have a set of 5-P RomaRo Pro Forged shafted with Tour Attas 110x shafts also a variety of wedge heads to complement it including a trio of RomaRo wedges.

T can source it, $12 ea plus shipping from Japan. If you are in the US, how many do you want?

I have to say the 27* Type S replaced my 4 iron beautifully… Have played the RomaRo UT and iBrids too, the Type S are still my favs but was not as big on the Type D when I hit them...

Anything too stiff to play naturally...

Thickish topline, although not so much for a CB/MC head. Other than that very nice looking.

The F3 is a Ryoma as well. If memory serves, the head weight distribution of Ryoma encourages the hook for some swing types.

Should have tried the Crazy CBI S hard stepped and tipped a tad. I have them in a soft stepped X in these heads and it is quite a pleasant combo. Think hard stepping the S would have lowered the flight a tad more for me. I am an X-Blade fan too.

Could the left leaning Ryoma also have contributed to the hooking issues?

I have found the 388 to play a shaft looser than stated flex. I play it at 44.5" and needed to go heavier, for SW purposes, and stiffer to get it to work right for me. Am currently playing it with a QFE 75X and liking it quite a bit more now.

I think it is a combination of the head and shaft with the ONOFF being a higher launch. If the Roddio shafts were easier to acquire, I would probably go with those on my hybrids, but they are not and they are also > 2x the price of the Attas HY. On the Fuji MCI front I have only played the iron shaft in a set of wedges.

I think with the iBrid it provides a piercing trajectory. The ONOFF/Roddio I10 is a higher launching combo.

I use the HY85 in X flex with my iBrids quite successfully. All but the 17* have controllable trajectories and are accurate. Have not put the on a track man to test dispersion.

I have a Maruman KS Zero if you don't need conforming.

I've tried many and keep going back to the GripMaster OS Tour Wraps when I can find them. But have also taken to the Elite A50 model, thicker all around , firm but not hard and great tack no matter the weather.

Any chance at some comparative shots vs. the TS 909 or RomaRo Pro?

That had to be the most civilized disagreement I have seen in ages...

I have the MCI in a 58* Zodia head, marvelous combination. I think the MCI shaft plays a little looser to flex than other shafts at least on the normal iron shaft, not sure if there is a "wedge" model.
