They look good way better then I thought they would, remind me of the r7 B heads with the notch being different and better overall looks. Still don't understand the soft cast head thing, different steel or way of casting maybe. Hope they play well for you, they are the first iron from TaylorMade I would consider playing in a long long time.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Awesome let us know how they play for you.

Have to agree with BB just pure. This is a set I would play in a heartbeat.

Did you get a chance to hit those corked bad boy's out? If so let us know. I am intrigued to hear what you think of these irons, pics would be nice as well.

Really??? Please explain because everything I have read Vega is the retail brand for Kyoei. Like Epon is to Endo.

The MB's look great, just leave them as is.

I have to say I think this years model's look better then last years. They are one of the few Players CB's I would like to play.

Watched the iron video and noticed not one shot hit resulted in a divot being taken, very much a sweep of the ball. Is that normal or a reflection of the guy hitting the irons in the video.

Up for sale is one set of sick irons that are going to make someone very happy . The only reason I am selling these irons is because of the amount of offset in the set is just a little more then I want. But, they are the most beautiful irons I have ever owned and I have owned way to many sets. They are ultra soft forgings that will make you smile every time you hit the sweet spot. Quality is second to none and I have done some things to make them even better looking, custom paint and grips to match I hope my pictures represent these irons well. As you can see from the pictures these irons are a solid 9 out 10 with no rock dings or gouges only normal face wear (grooves are still sharp). No serious bag chatter at all (I am a dork and use head covers ). They are shafted with DGS300 and the 5 iron is 38 inches, the lie is 2 degree's flat, but I can get them bent to whatever specs you want. Don't be afraid to try these irons they are very forgiving due to the offset and how the weight is positioned in the irons. The only thing you have to worry about with these irons is the attention they get; people just stare at them or worse want to hit them. $675 shipped to your front door, thanks.

I have the KB's in mine and they are a great combo with the Epon's.

The OnOff driver is an 06 model it's only 405 cc's versus today’s drivers which as you know are 466 cc's. I really like it a lot and it’s a straight cannon. I had to check the USGA's website to make sure it wasn’t over the COR limit because when I hit it, it smoked my new Tour Edge Exotic driver and my buddies Callaway FT 5. I also like the look of the smaller head with the tall face just fits my eye better. Thanks for your comments about my clubs it was a fun project. Take care.

Thanks I think they are cool, I would like to see more companies offer funky colored ferrules like Scratch does. Ari and his gang sure treasure those things like gold.

I currently own two sets of JDM irons the Epon's and the X-Blades. The Epon's were a project of mine that started out because I couldn't stand the DSG's in them. I knew I was going to replace them with a different shaft, so I thought why not just pimp them out with custom ferrules and some colored IoMic grips. I had originally had thought to go with the NS 1150 tour that is currently in the X-Blades which is a great feeling shaft. The only thing I don't like about the 1150's is they tend to get a little too high for my taste, prefer a flatter trajectory especially in my short irons. Any way I decided to go with KB Tours 6.5 soft stepped once and I am glad I did. The KB's are great feeling and very accurate, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for new shafts. Next it was the ferrule's, I love the new color ferrule's on the Scratch irons so I decided I would get some for the Epon's which was a lot harder than I had planned. Long story short I found two set's of the white with black ring ferrules and bought both sets. It's not hard to figure out why I went with the white IoMic grips with black tops. The white grips are really pretty easy to keep clean if you are wondering. The only problem I had with them is when I would pull a club from my bag they would rub against the black cap and leave a mark which was a pain to clean (had to use Acetone to get the marks off). So I bought some of those plastic tubes to keep them from rubbing together and it has worked like a charm. To finish the set off I filled in the Epon on the hosel and the numbers in white paint. I also re-did the paint on my wedges and added a white IoMic grip to my SC putter.

I think the biggest advancements in club design in the upcoming years won't be the heads at all. It will be shafts and the metal and materials used to construct the golf head. The design of the club head is pretty maxed out the OEM's understand that, just look at what is being put out these days, just small tweaks to their current line. I mean look at the Callaway shovel the x-18 looks the same as the new x-22 just a slightly bigger notch and a new badge. MOI increase between models = you can't tell the difference and I bet the ball can't as well. Maybe your poor shot will only fly offline a half inch between models. Shafts are the next frontier in club performance and I am taking about both metal and graphite especially graphite. But, even steel shafts are better than they were 5 years ago, the new KB Tour is far superior to the DSG and feels better than the project X. Look for the next generation of steel shafts to be as light as graphite shafts sub 90 grams. Graphite shafts are the future designers haven't come close to perfecting them, the Voodoo is better than the By You and the NV. The different construction possibilities with graphite shafts make graphite the future once the sub 90 gram steel shafts hit the market. I am willing to bet that in the near future (sorry don't have a crystal ball) most pro's on the PGA tour will play graphite shafts why? Because they will be able to get a shaft that feels exactly like the want it at the weight they want it and it will perform exactly as they want it too. Look for the pro's to be using a trackman device to dial in their iron shafts like they do now with the driver, spin launch etc. I think it will be scary they distance they will achieve when they switch to graphite, just look at the driver distances now versus the old school steel shafts (yes titanium faces and ball have a major impact but less than you think). Also look to new metals and materials to make a current design much better, especially in the game improvement segment. It would not surprise me if in less than 5 years someone develops a cast club using a new metal alloy that dare I say it will make the forged club you hit today feel harsh especially compared to off center hits. Some genius is going to build it lighter and cheaper and stronger. Sounds silly but one day I willing to bet there will be a max cor restriction on irons. If I were to build a club today I would build a cast hollow body iron and fill it will some kind of material that makes it feel better than forged and makes the face hot and not just when you hit the sweet spot. Well that is my rant. If I am right in the future you can say you read it here first. P.S. If you build a hollow iron with a material inserted into the body I will sue you lol.
