Great to hear that your wife is back into golf. I'm still waiting for mine to get the itch to start playing again. Her cubs have been idle for the longest time. Why don't you take a look at PRGR. They have quite a few clubs that are geared for the "lady golfer".

Hi Billy. W/c model did you pick up? Also, do you think that the shaft may have something to do with the loss of control when you go after it? Maybe a stiffer flex or a different shaft profile for your swing?

Same but, I haven't posted anything yet over there.

LOL! Hey, Jim! I've had a lot of time on my hands the past few months. The thread I recently read about mentioned the 701s possibly having a universal hosel that will take both parallels & tapers but, I'll leave that to the experts. (I have to learn how to type faster...)

Wonder if they had an after-market finish applied to them. I've read of this being done to putter shafts.

Might be my fault about the confusion. My wife's 701s are parallels. Do the Epon 701 hosels take both tapers & parallels (I read a thread about this on another forum)?

Stew is spot on. Found this in case you have any doubts.

Oh, sweet!!! Let us know how it goes after you're able to give them a whirl.

Thanks guys! I haven't tried the Iomics but, I have been pleased with the Nowons (Apparently after checking, I have a surplus of them). The 48s have a .580 core w/c if I understand correctly, will make the grip slightly larger on a .600 butt. Come to think about it, I have a couple of the Experts as well somewhere. I'll give that a try 1st then move to Iomics if need be.

I've been using these for quite some time but, would like to try going to smaller grip. Can they be stretched a bit to get to slightly undersized & is it advisable or should I just get a smaller grip like the Iomic Sticky 1.8? I wear a U.S. cadet small sized glove.

Wow! Looks so much better than it's predecessor. Especially like the white one with black rims.

Look on the bright side. At least J didn't ask for wedges too.

Switching sets again?

B, What model & set-up did you go with?

Great review Stew! How does the 14 driving iron compare to the Epon 901?

If there's anything that can bump your current gamer that you've had in your bag forever, it could be this Ryoma/Quadra set-up.

The newer models come with a 2 prong wrench. These are what the spikes/cleats look like:

Overpriced? No. Expensive? Yes. But you should factor in that you're purchasing outstanding equipment made of premium materials, fully customizable to your specs & hand made for you by one of the best in his trade.

Back to the smaller driver heads portion of this discussion. If my memory serves me correctly, manufacturing designs & materials of the sub-460cc heads are generally geared more toward the faster swinging athlete golfers. Unless they come out with one made for the slower swinger, I'm starting to doubt that I would be able to reap any potential benefits from going smaller...

Oooooo... Egg Spoon driver... Now wouldn't that be something!!! I am following this discussion with great interest. Wondering if slower swinging "average" golfers like myself could reap the benefits of a smaller driver head.

Obviously, coverage on the new gear is a given. Always love reading about your cuisine experiences as well. :)

Matthew, Gocchin has some pics of the hybrid on the GTI blog http://www.golftoimpress.com/2010/12/new-miura-giken-mg-hybrid-debut/

Looks like it's a 2003 model: http://www.yamaha.co.jp/product/golf/products/catalog/pdf/catalog2003_inpres.pdf Sorry, can't read Japanese either.

Your review makes it very tempting to have a go with the latest especially since it's better than the '09 version that I still have... Decisions, decisions, decisions...

BB, Were you able to order it to your desired length & SW or will you do the adjustments after market?
