Decent /good cond travel set. . WITHOUT DOUBT THE HIGHEST tech mb that anyone has made. ENDO CROSS FACE MICRO milling, tungsten, semi flighted long irons , heavier scoring itrons. etcetcetc.. THEY play more like a players mb cavity than a blade say like honma or miura mb, not like these at all, thnk prgr tr500 kinda performance. made at ENDO btw for Hideki Matsuyama shaft choice, somehting a bit more robust , firmer, taughter, tuffer is prob preferable as these are insanely .. like crazy ass soft.

sorry confusing what are u after any kind of head, any number or just pw?

TOURSTAGE mallet pv5 this one, was desgined , made and THEN refurbed by KITADA. for me as a bday present, re milled it with a non glare matt sheen. its WAS my all rounder for all conditions but its now definitely best on faster greens with the shaft /grip combo ive gone for , thicker leather gripasmter to take more hands out if it, on slow greens i tend to leave it sort but when it get s quick this SHINES.! on the larger side for a mallet with a high face and thicker top line i tend t oplay this more upright with a pendulm swing . feel is crisp and instantaneous,immediate response on where the ball was stuck. ive 3 of this type of head shape all with slightly differnt characteristics. this and the miura for fast, the yonex and benock for slower. purpousely gripped them all different for diff greens/ days/feels. this not in play at the moment, the greens are too slow but when a dry winter comes down under , this will get a lot of play . as a guide WE get : slow s stimp peed 8.7-9.4 mid a 9.5-10 fast 11-11.5 , ive not seen many faster than 11.5 aprt for mthe days afte a tournament , i thnk th quickest igot was 12. . AND.. for a WEEKEND chopper ............. thats FOOKEEEN rapid!

Ahh no. They are ltd set no one's gonna. Have. A single Spare. Pw. Grab a set . They are. Awsome

This yonex ezone mallet has beenway more than just a peach recently. . A tad head heavy in hand , dense full body impact with full deep milling the super compact head has acutally usurped its competitors (with the same shape.. ie.. the TS, the benock and the miura,) for a regular bag spot . Where as say the Miura has a very light super direct charcter and excell on slower grassier lies and the benock is very firm, very fast off the face, or the toursatge which is a medium get what u put into it results , vs the yonex, is all about distance control, its so good at getting to the pin, i was using it on the weekend on greens and the way the ball just stops dead to about where its a tap in is why im baggin it at the moment. i was going head ot head vs the others mentioned here so its not random, all of them ahd thier better bits but over all the way th e ball jsut dies at the hole is the reason. if im honest , as much as the others in its category are regraded more Highly(????) i wud be hard presed not to take this one. -the TS is a wonder full all rounder, played a bit upright it simply does tis job, i cant see any big plus' or negatives on it. its just a great piece on any green. -the benock has a feel that is only benock user can understand, its like no other, the ball almost repels off the face as soon as it hits, its SO dense but.. its light in the hands at the same time , its really hard to adequatly ilustrate in words, i love it on slow greens where i need to get a bit handiser to get the ball there. but for me.. at this stage this yonex has game time prowess most times. loving it, oh and it looks awosme, that cord grip really hs my attention im even getting a cpl more .

YONEX ezone - dg s200 Forged at KYOEI and ground by Chiba who s responsible for zodia brand ,these were made for Ryo Ishkawa back early 2010s. before he took the filthy lucre from callaway. These have on- set profile, very noticeable shape difference at address to just about all other mb ,very thin overall , with a small head and thin top line. its almost swann neck esque at the scoring end which makes these very easy to draw. The Mb isnt very full and miss**ts do get punished. For me, they are magnificent on thin grass or sun baked dried grass conds WAY more than they are in lush moist wet conds , wudnt ever think to take them out in the wet. Ive tred these sveral times over the years and had a cpl of different shafts in them but TBH i cant see anything that noticeably beats the stock DGs200.... so thats what they have now. Kyoei steel forging usually makes for a denser, heavier if u like feel on ball strike and these are no different. but in saying that get these out of the centre and theres no better feel , miss them and they tell u str8 away what u did wrong! I like that response but i prefer the endo feel in a MB personally , i like the KYOEI feel more in cavity backs but in MBs vs say the tourstage , honma or Mizuno they dont quite have that sweetness to them ,waht htey dont have in that they do have in data theres no ones better that the other. In my pantheon of mbs that will be left to melt down at my passing, along with the tourstage, honma 727m , these will be there. Every time I pick these up at the moment they climb a rung of best. So so easy to hit draws shots With. Amazing the difference

Muziik turfrider 10* - dogatti six stiff I was asked to reccomend a seriosuly easy driver recently and i had bought this a while ago with the idea to just use it for the shaft. i WAS going to put it in a kamui head. then i hit it on range. the and again on range , then again as a back up one day prac round. and although i dont like it its everyting i dont like in a driver, massive head,, more bits missing on the sole than there is on it, elgongated round triangle head........ i have not missed a single shot with it. it must only weigh 305-310 grams TOPS. its like a wand its flex feels way too whippy but the ball goes dead straight and really high. it right up ther with THE easiest drivers ive ever hit, the face is enormous like a football field size. u can only just see the ball on it its impossible to miss the face some where near the middle with it. although it was destined to become a bits piece. and i wud re-use the head for a spare in case i neded one for beginners.....but i just cant do it its unmissable. so ive stuck a leather grip on it and it now a rain driver, its alllllllll carry .

haha.. im building that exat driver for winter golf. fyg i played my 10* diamana X combo yesterday. its unreal. head does not loose a tick to anything recent when u clobber one. and feel is second to one its so dense.

CRAZY FW 16..diamana kalia 73x BOMBER!!! crazy f19..diamana 70x crazy f22 diamana stinger 70xx THE 3W forget this as a fairway wood, its almost unhittable unLess your the hulk. but from a tee box .... oh yeababybaby yea! been on / off with these heads for years ,benched them ,sold them re bought them re did them with all manner of shafts, then on whim last firday i just build these for testing.. i didnt really care about the results i was just going to use them as range tools to improve fw striking..................... NOT ANY MORE!!!!!! the 3w is an alien its rediculous, its so small ,so compact with such a large (high) compact surface area to hit from it absolutely catapults the ball.. had it in perfect conds 21*c over cast , no wind, wet grass.. the ball went miles with a higher ,flatter flight. you can make the ball move both ways just a bit with ease , it is NOT an all rounder and its NOT a forgivng head. its pure power. distance was superb. 2 holes where i hit my ryoma d1 aliisli short driver, and this together , the ryoma with a non centered shot was marginally in front of this for distance, its long. i know exaclty where htis 3s is headed.. str8 back to the links course. amazed.........

looking at getting a cpl of sets of these , wud like some feedback if possible. cheers

ah sorry , yes, a fujikura ventus. my apologies.. i tried a mitsubishi tensei receltly (that was on my mind ) , that was very different. quite taught that thing , it had a blue band on it, i didnt mid that at all.

**** new/old driver test check*** -callaway ft tour proto 9.5* / diamana stinger 70s 45 inch -callaway paradym 9.5* /*fujikura* ventus 60x 45.25 inch 15+/- ish yrs age differential . things i noticed with the new one ( never hit this before) . the paradym looks good at address! has a lovely carbon look to it . over the ball its fkkn HUGE , it makes u think missing the drive is impossible , which is pretty much what i got on course with it. hit it on 6 holes and hit 6 fairways. there are more movable added part to it that i thought no way , thats gonna break very soon , ie the hosel has about 125 different positional change options (!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?) and theres a slidy gold thing at the back which i just viewed as totally unnnessessary chaff. IMPACT> it has a VERY thuddy feel, the ball seems to pop off the face, more dull, not lively, not exciting , not inspiring not..................... FUN , all bidddness kinda personality , get the job done and move on kinda thing. -it has a lower more piercing flight i, cudnt elevate this really i liked the flight , but again all biddness, wasnt " awsome", jsut nice shot move on to the next shot. - into the wind excellent , with the wind i was expecting MUCH more. I did get oodles of cheat miles with it, on the run on short dry winter grass it ran like a honey badger. -shaft match was not for me, *fujikura ventus *but this added nothing at all. in fact for an X flex it was pretty soft, not bad , but not X and but nothing like my X in the stinger and the dia X . -abilty to shape the paradym, virtually zero , its point shoot. I didnt really like the new models impact at all , way prefered the old model. OVER ALL i wasnt very inspired nor exicted by this and i wasnt dissapointed, I was kinda hoping i wud have had a bigger smile , i mean it goes and goes well , BUT i was more than a little surprised by the " lack of distance " it didnt get vs the older model , i was kind of expecting to see it 10-20 yards past my one but nope. zero difference. i did like the safety look aspect to it, on a tough driving course where the faiways are thin, i thnk this wud be great. ( not with that shaft) cud see a role for one of these shaped heads ..... on links maybe. they just look enormous to my eye , similar to the tylor made blue thing, it hits the ball, thats it. i def prefer this one to the TM but from what i saw, im not gonna scurry out and grab one. so far of the newer drivers ive hit offer nothing substantial to make me grab one , they lack personality. they ahve no character, thye have no genk thye are just inanimate blocks. maybe one day ill grab someting like this for comp in the wind but over waht i have , sorry i was left feeling more than a little flat. il wait another 10 yrs , untill then the 2011 ft has its spot assured.

Vader mark2... kamui kp-01 diamana X 60s. tipped this an inch which stiffiend it a bit . its taughter than normal un- tipped and it brought the flight down a smidge. no way can this be over powred by mortals. u need to be pretty on to actiavte it fully whn u do, results are excelllent. the head at address looks fantastic the OS size face which is visible and a small black frame gives the impresson of middling it ALL the time and thats what happened. I misssed the middle on 3 drives and all of them hit hte fairway just a bit right first cut, none dissapeard into the bunda. even thsoe got more than they deserved ( or shud have ) for where i was expecting for that shot quality. good shots went all of it. about as far as i have to offer. did realise this is a lot differnt to the stinger version which is longer and a bit more agile and high. in hand i think step on it , dont meooooooooooooooow it, and put my strongest (attmetped) draw swing bec its not gonna get lost left. ever. its not really a shot shaper build, its a walloper. and a good one at that> its workable but more for i just need to put thisover there a bit or if i turn it itll grab 10+ yards on he left. these boht dont seem to have the wood on the beams but thye are not " behind " vry very relible woods for days when theres a bit of room and im reay to gibe it some welly. wunt take them out on pete dye esque tracks where a bit of subltly is required. not sure if id say this or the stinger is better... tey both have a differnt mind frame. this is tighter and lower adn playes better in wind the stinger is for yea boy days! rate both build very high, somwhere up the top kinda thing. much higher than average. yea quite a bit higher...........,

callaway erc fusion 3w 15* thru bore. BLAST from the lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng ago past.......... 2003, yip that well long enough to be.. old . Head is as deep as u gcan get a fwood really. super small. compact small face but its high frames the ball compleltely. the antithese of the modern 3w style . i took the original carbon shaft out and put an NS 950s fw in. this steel shaft for woods is legendry. its heavy fo' sho but,, it launches.. and laucnhes HIGH jerrrrrrrrrrrrrrst not off the deck so much. this combo is a horrible for fairway deck hits ,its like a DOD ( driver off the deck) just.. no. from a tee tho its sensational. its v not long , this set up doesnt go miles. its goes high and it goes whre u ever u can think a ball shud go.. just not long. ideal conds are any tee box that is sneaky tough. need max carry. need to hit a spot. need to move it about a bit. teamed it with a cadero grip bec that grip for T-shot with woods is unequalled. sond feel is great very tingy in the fingers but deeper to the ears. very thuddy pwoerfull impact feel. swing thoughts are go hard go at it. dont meaw on it bec itss a steel and it will let down on distance. as an aide i have the driver shaft in a cpl of training driver that weight it a t about 350g and they DO get out there wehne u getnerate enough spee. dont want to hit that on a winters day first driver stra8 out of the car at 4*c...........................................................!! For a cpl of shorter courses and front tee games is where this lives. very very very hard to miss with it. its a proper fairwy finder. just not long...............

Strewth! That cud indeed be a carbon copy of one Of my bags! If one suggestion.. u cud Try a Yamaha v203 head if U feel like a change, Better feel than ur one but No performance Loss/ inxrease over it , Just a nicer sound/ feel. that head tho was always one of my favourite and it wentr miles, easily. I'm still gaming Several yamaha tour v series heads with ALL the best shafts and there is no loss to anying new None. The tr500s have been my go to for a while for cavity mbs. They beat out the IDBL bec. They have a thinner sole and with my steep AOA they suit better, PLUS they have THE best cb lines on a club. evee . The kasco diamana x combo (my gamer) and the 304p( my gamer. With a dia X.) Are. In my topbag. Never ever fault the. HIRO mz07 . Had one redone. In copper recently ver ysimlar to thiso ne of yours , ive Not used it yet. Looks too good. Shaft choice with design tuning as a match forthe tr500s is a wonderul selsection , I have a spare set o dgs200 that looking at yours i might re do anther ret this summer

Thnx Nobs.. how do u get them there ? i found kuroneco is a possibility but the cost is ................. well not quite like it used to be. i

Hi all, Obv the tariff issue is ongoing and gigantic PITA , i know EMS wont ship to the US from jpn. wondering if/how are peole getting goods , ive been asked to send stuff over but cant find a suitable shipper. anyone still getting steel goods from JPN ?

S-YARD T 388. 9.5* diamana Ali iseli 73s. 44.75inch 320g. Always Been one of the very very best smaller. Compact heads I've had so many of these with all manner of shafts. Sold.em rebuilt em sold em. Swapped em. But it was never Long before I grabbed another , Prob is now they are hens teeth so this one .. will be staying put. Any shot u can dream with a diver in hand this can do and in most cases better than almost all others Not Hit it yet . Next week will be. It's debut. As ive had this head with A stinger, X ,kaili, GD p9003x, FEX, STOCK , crazy black 50( shud NEVER. have sold that one!!!!) I'll be v keen to see. How this stacksup. I can guess as this shaft is my all time no 1 fave (not made Of boron) it won't be too .,..dissapointing. ...................... well..., wowsah how right i was ..................., superb!!!!!!!! gamed it vs a diawa tataki 65s shafted shingospec 9.5* 358 ( magic!!!) which ive not games in a long time but prob shid have!!! the heavier but shorter playing alisieli shaft gives it a bit more control and confidence to really have a go at the ball and shape shots ,its not as long distance wise as the longer 358onoff but i wanst expeting t it to be but what iwasnt expecting was there was a noticeable enough gap to be of consequence . make no mistake the 358 is a bomber!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that tataki blue shaft keeps it on the stra8 and narrow ,it launches high and flat and thers almost no abilty to shape it , its a pure easy swigning bomber . With the s-yard combo while the ball doesnt zip about willy nilly, it moves with out having to strain an adductor, its a perfect small arc to where you want it to go. its not short , its jsut not long. i was hitting the ball really well and the ball went to where any other good driver goes (distance) but never more. the most noticeable aspect was the ability to consistantly alter flight heights with tee adjustemnts with NO freakouts at address looking at the ball teed too low, too high. really is a driver of the ultiame versatility for every thing.dont say that much 9 the srixon zr 30 is another but totally differnt shape rounded vs elongated oval, for my $$$$$ the syard takes the cake. shaft change was awsome i think this is the best edition of this build/head ive had. easy to hit ( 12/14 frws) distance good, flight unbeatable, sound feel amazing, confidence 100%.. if i can grab another, its going str8 back to my links course to live. seriosuly .................... u can all keep the new best better heads, this ll do me nicely ......................... another game with it on VERY tricy driving championship coure ,OB lined everywhwere. ws hittitng stingers like a 5 iron... high soaring massive draw(gulp hooks) , bunt fades likea 4 iron, its got ALL the tricks. saved the bst lfor the 18th, hit 3 ballsabout as good as a ican to 9i in baby draws distance is NOT short. unless needed then its simle do to. going to game this and my srizon zr-30 which are polar oppo shaes to see which reigns bec its out of thee 2. this is EASILY a one stop shop. dotn need a driver alt with this , this IS the driver alt.!

ASTRO TOUR v2..11* DAIWIA LABOSPEC TATAKI 70XS BLUE45.25INCH. FINALLY... A contender for long a new ball lama champ emerges! Total speccy on this. Had the parts spare and thought why not match high loft with high kick. Longer length. Love this head. Have many astro tours and this model has So much oomph. So I Thought why not give it a try.. Result, HUGE CARRY . tee it low and get LONG RUN. Totally differnt Feel , the bend/flex point is v noticeably differnt to my hoards Of diamanas much more initial Engagement feels like the Tip is straightening IMMEDIATLY. Very direct Very electric. It's an out and out. Bomber ................ strewth!!! got this out to game yesterday. this plays longer @ 45.25 inch and its noticeble. looks long at address. high face angle but rounded elongate face makes it look very amenable to hitting draws and it can and does ,but its NOT a hook machine at all. misses were straigt h to slight fade even with a robust draw swing. the shaftt is impossible to over power. i played on a a very tough driving course and missed the centre of the club quite a bit but never lost a ball ob, worst result was in 2nd cut , easliy playable. its long , this goes big.. very big. had to play with the tee height to get it wired. not too high , the loft on the head is pretty significant. feel is sensational.... its very alive. great sound, higher tink. gives good feedback. no point trying to hit anything other than bombs , its a bomber. had a cpl of right up there shots that were .oh yea!!

a cpl of generic BUT rather special pieces that were done by an absolutle master for an OEM. had both of these rejigged and like the honma set , i take them out when i play a FULL... tourstage bag. driver p51... 701 3-5-7- w....maru mb...xwedge... these putters. they do NOT look out of place , in fact the oppostte oft happen when people go wow..!!! a full TS set , sugoi!

tourstage x-wedge. axis spring to mind

There is NO such thing as " the one", there is the '100"............. in my book. the top is one of my latest added , have added a few ODA's to the bags lasy few yrs. and am having a tough time taking them out at game time. they all have wonderful balance and a distinctive feel to them that i LOVE, deep resonating feel. milling is ultra light which is now my preferd style. these ones are a cpl ive picked up from OEMS, honma and mizuno copper. The honma SLN i thought was better than the scotty tei3 i used to have , very similar in most ways so i sold the cameron , kept this one. i have a full steel set of HONMA "ancients" for play , iron ,wedge, putters i take out , fabulous gear( the old stuff). this has a more angluar look feel it , very squared, obv copper insert is magic. the mizuno LN is SOFT SOFT SOFT ,very light like mid 400g. i tend to play these light putters , on the fastest greens to try keep the ball somehwere near the hole. this milling is quite mild which i prefer these days so it gives it just a bit more ting in the fingers at impact.

Ns is nippon. https://nipponshaft.com/product/putter/putter2023.php these ones are the ones i jsut discovered while trying to get more purple xxip(long sold out) boh these are a step up from the xxip. and thye look AWSOME. SORT OF PEENING look.

Nowadays , I spend much more of my time on the putting range and on short game chipping,piching practice than bombing drivers relentlessly and smacking irons into the concrete under fake grass mats. Dont get me wrong , i still love to blast the bejeeeeesssaaahhzzzzz out range rocks with the big dawgs but my elbow says NO more than yes these days. As a result , my collection of wedges and putters has ..................grown , while my hoards of irons and woods have somewhat stabilized......, There is nothing more treasure trove hunting wise i love more than to find a great cond. exotic JPN flatty. All the ususal top names are stil very well sought after , Yamada, Hiro mats, Benock,Fujimoto,( (who ever makes for miura ) ,Odyssey Jpn, but ive added a lot of OEM putters of yore recently , Tourstage, mizuno, prgr yamaha, honma, and a few bespoke guys, Docus,masda, (seven), Buchi...... some of the OEMS stuff have surprisingly good charm if u look hard /long enough and while not bespoke, they are made of the right stuff , feel great and play great. they just arnt as special as a singular piece. Cpl of snaps to get the ball rolling...
