  1. no, ive not hit it , il ltake a peek tho weve only palyed my home course in gunma on sat where im (semi) allowed to enjoy myself hitting balls, and nishinasuno. ifi can grab a day of this week i might take him out to chiba to a tourny course and see if he can beat the club record. , but the weather is crappy again nad its a waste of a ton of coin if its not great weather,
  2. empeor 2 chrome to go 33 inch or head only i cn use the shaft else where
  3. yes i did indeed......! drivers. the egg 7 and egg 1 i cudnt split and the astro tour amazing distance. that hing aint going anywhere wdges were an old set of prgrs. from 4-5 yrs back, easily the best suited to me was knockingt hem dead the week before,(think a combo of touratge x and bolds..!) irons were tough t osay either the masdas or the srixons. matter snot i think the masdas were nicer of the spongier grass, and the srixpns are nicer on the ahrder grass. hence why the srixons will come on hols OS with me. but mid summer u wont get th masdas outa my hands i can assure you. farway woods, the egg spoon is un real i got that dialed in so wel now its an automatic bag choice( the new model) itsp lenty long, not AS long as tghe original but close enough nad in 16.5* is a great coice to get the ball higher and softer fro mth blue tees its a no brianer, from the blacks i can use the old egg for a bit more run. ok they are a LOT nice to look at at address than both the old tourstage bec of thisssue of the neckline the touratge cavity 909 and 905 muscle design is the best design of a MB ever. what srixon did was use that as a base and evolve it made it a bit easier to hit , they REALLY did a good jopb on this, if u like the tourstage u will love the srixons i predirct. esp if u like a rounder neck line and less offset. the only reaon im not playing those old tourstage is bec the neckline is awkward to my eye the srixons fixed that with these unlessprgr come out with a blade then ill be done for clubs this year
  4. yea they are a good set and that macth shud be a good set. they are in the agrind blades and they are a very serious set of bats i cant have a bad day with them so i think i cud make use better on them in a softer head and put a smoother set in the a-grinds to make them a bit friendlier. this combo asks as many questions of my swing as any club ive ever hit. i can do with just a bit more forgivenes..! i find the weight of them, ok, coming off 130s its not such a big thing , its the stifffness that is the key here. they are WAY tighter than the 130s. these are prob the most pro esque shaft ive hit. a lot more so than the 120x. of the dgx100 its about finding the right balance, and soft stping them is prob a great idea bec they really are a tuff ask in X.
  5. that price is for totally shafted anyway u like and stamped exactly like u want to ?
  6. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooook, i played BOTH eggs sat and hit, well lets just say a lot ........ of drives, not on some fwit random number generator POS machine thing, it was on one of those things called a course where theres that stuff called wind , and grass and trees , and anlges to contend with that actually . really do afect ones thinkng and results. . so it was WAY way closer than i thought. distance was identical. Chiro and i wre laughing when we walked down the 16th par 5 and looked to find both balls were sitting, and no exageration here.. 4 feet apart dead centre of fairway exactly the same distance. i mean to the inch. i hit both off the screws, perefct flight pefect stirkes. OLD MODEL egg7 is 9* and closed 0.5* diamana alisie 83s 44.5inch NEW MODEL the egg1 is 7.5* and sqaure. diamana X 70s 44.5 inch how about .............identical distance as a result. yup cant beelvie it but its true So i think the old egg is easier to hit . its also (obv.) easier to draw its its more consistant , its very hard to hit a slice fade with and its a matter of mental dexterity to make oneself aim further right ever hole. the feel is a bit more tinnnnnnnnnnnnng like and it doesnt quite have the ooomph the new model has at impact. thats a combo of the shaft material and the face of the clubs. the better overall constant feel is the old one, BUT off the dead centre , the egg 1 is amazing. wins by some going away..... launch is pretty similar. the 9* prob goes a little higher . but its splitting hairs. but yea prob a smll bit higher . these are my gamers this year, it wil take a "miracle" to dislodge either of them im not sure what better sutied for what course, although i think im slightly more consistant with the old model. i prob need a bit more time with the new one ithink fantastic drivers. theese are as good as ive made and rate A++++++
  7. i played both these over the weekend as well. i honestly cant believe it but its true, the a-grind is equal to, at least .........., the s-yard for launch u cant play this with another driver in the bag at the same time like i like to, its defiantly like a one tirck pony. too hard to get yr head around swaping backand forwards. easily one of the best loking heads ive seen, i think the syard is easier to hit , goes longer, but snap hooks are MUCH easier to do. both of these are for certian players , i can imagine them not being liked by a HUGE segemnt, but loved by another.
  8. OK so i dont hit the ball very high , i hit it pretty flat it seems and normally with a slight fade bias. so ULTRA low launch shafts for me are not the best sutied as much as i love say NS sp blue or tolerate c-tapers on links , i think im better served elsewhere and prob why i gravitate so earnestly towards the NS range bec. quite simply put , NS genreally tend to go higher. NS said these were made for the btter stirker with input form the pros , if so it wud seem they werent kidding, these things are taught baby..! They have some, hmmmmmmmmmm how to explain it..... maybe like a (semi) good playable feel to them albiet it very high frequency ting feeling and the harder u hit them the better the feleing is (mine are X flex and they cud be better served soft stepped i think ) but ive no real issue with them tbh, ilike them like that. The horrid rod like feel in general of an X flex shaft is semi there but not a bad as others. They are extremely striight shooters. and launch very low for an NS shaft. Ive found them to be uber straight , its extremely dificult to get cute with them and very hard(almst imposibe to snap hook them) they are easily........easily as penetrating as the SP blues but a slightyl nicer feel, as a palcebo i was also hitting a set of NS ST x, on the same day and the differnce was extreme to say the least. ( gimme the ST any day for smooth sailing..!!!!) but they are no where near as tight. miles easier to play, miles nicer to play If i were NS intentions to make shaft comporable to the DG range well they have ABSOLUTELY made a comporable players equivalent, extra weight , tighter arcs,lower flight but without the extra hashness of say the dgs400, x100 or SP blue . Even in a denser forged head they wre tolerable and like say SP blue in ENDO forged heads, id think these wil be MAGIC.. IMO.............. these hsafts are NOT the best sutied to the denser combo, same as SP blues arnt perfeclty matched. but with a softer mizuno, ENDO, yurri kinda guuush feel and these will be im sure a dream match, they wil llower the flight a bit , tightten them up and feel great with soft head. hence why i mthinkng of pulling them and reshafting a set of ENDO heads with them they play brillianllty in blades , but i just gotta get the best suited feel first. think i got a good idea of what to do with them. soft step them into a set of idbls. (think i might have just found my holiday touring set !)
  9. if ur looking for a bomber.... and u havent got the cojones to try this thing, then ur not from this planet.!!!! kamui pro air and this thing 2 of the longest drivers ive ever hit. not sure which is longer but its gotta be very close.
  10. ill take a side by aside one day i get around to it. i played the srixons yesterday, so 3 sets in 2 days, pretty differnt set ups all of them, and very differernt feels. the srixons are a thicker top line , slightyl longer blade with a slighty rounded toe . with very little offset and a v-sole. design is excellent, to my eye these are close to perfect. the feel is good albeit slightly muted bec the shafts are DG., saying tthat they play very well very very consistant, cant ask for anything other than conisstancy. found them to be quite workable but very steady and mid low flight. these wud be great in wind , if there was any. i think of all the sets the srixons are the most all rounder ish and flight was middle of the 3 sets . the muscle design is excellent with a very "heavy weighty " impact. something i love. i was immediatly enamoured with them from first hit. ive decided these are coming on hols with me, for no other reason other than they are the newest. most prob going to reshaft them with the NS 2g18s. aboslutley nothing wrong with the desging tuning tour issue DG s200, but im an NS guy thru and thru. these are, in my opion are the best of the srixon blades ive hit and just a tad more to my style than the classic pro100s which are a clsoe second. but the latest shape does it for me and these get the bag spot.
  11. Well Shes in the bag for tomorrows mega ball a thon however i think my partner might be a little on the shocked side after today performance Hoping hes alive tomorrow to enjoy her ravishing form! then we can do masda vs a grind vs srixon blade comp. Some damn niceness in there i assure you
  12. i just laid eyes on these and i have to say these are just sensational looking i wud rate them right at the top of extreme player loking blades, very differnt to the older model, very differnt indeed. much more rounded, and it look s like WAY less off set i nthe 9 and PW. no piant fill, just typical tourstage(oops BS) blade perfection. these are DEFINATLY in the mix might be right there around 1-2-3-4. choice. well well worth looking at , esp guys playing the older models, these will really look the goods
  13. there is no all round best, its the head u 100% want to play the most! bec theres no swapping this out. for you C , id recomend the epon techinty!
  14. Right, so ur in love with your girlfriend of the past year or so, shes pretty damn hot, all the right things are in the right places. u share the same likes and thoughts, things are just bon.............................., and juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust then when u think things cant get better ............, SHE walks past..................... obviously, ur head instinctively turns to acknowldege said ravishing beauty, man does not live by bread alone! the sun is shining, the sky is blue, skirts are getting shorter ,attentions turn to the world aboutyou . yup, shes a knockout all right, but there all knockouts.... and it matters not bec ur already in love. damn it..! weeks go past. happy days entail ,and just then when ur not expecting it SHE walks past, again!!!!! ok you think, ohhh yea.., this is interesting , am i getting stalked here ( gulp.., or in fact am i doing the stalking?????) this time shes in an even shorter skirt, her hair has just been done , and her cheeks appear to be even rosier. her legs longer..., yo u think shes looking back at you smiling , and u tell yourself you can almost her her whispering . take me baby , im yours... BUT u ignore her, the ramifications will be calamitous! ill be with her only in my mind. but youve already started questioning ur beliefs, deceause, those legs are DEF. longer, those hips are def. more pronucned. that chest is DEF more presented. and thast where it all goes awry! you know uve commited to one but right now mentally ur with another. what to do??? YOU KNOW sharing doesnt seem to go down terribly well . so trade in the old for the new, or take the punt on both a te same time and see which horse bucks the most..!!!!!! gulp, i cant ignore the prehistoric rumblings any longer, that unmistakable male longing for more. i had to strike, she was there again and it was like passing over a super model. just cudnt take the pressure any longer ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! srixon z945 DONE..!
  15. relax mikey i got 3 sets of onset wedges ul lget to hit this weekend. very differnt look to of set.
  16. well from what ive hit nad NOTICED. what ever jbeam 435 is made form seems to win for distance what ever super hyten is.. (that i stuff s off the planet ) wins everything, overall distance, feel , looks what ever the EPON 101 and zero are made from shud be botted and kept safe for ever. i have NO idea what any of them are. nor do i care. i just love hitting them. funnily enough the 2 "worst " feeling drivers i have are the jbeam 435 and ryoma v-psec D1. but u can have those "when u pry them from my cold dead hands"
  17. solid effort to make amends old fella. seems everyone can empathise with your plight. look forward to yr contributions. welocme back.
  18. ooooooooh boy... here we go agian pls tell me they have a blade coming..............,
  19. well,,,, i guess u gotta listen to that guy. i guess hed know best !
  20. i was under the impression the z945 were made at endo as well.
  21. i dont think u go lighter in the SW. unless u dont play a flop wedge ...... but if u hit the SW 100 yards + u wont get conssitane distance u shud prob go heaver and stiffer. why not play the monacco there aint nothing better in wedges tat those if u like a low boring flight at pins these are the absolute kings
  22. nobu san , alisili toursatge xwedge, waccine ,stingers, kitada. love to play a round with you one day. wed have to make sure we took the correct bags home!
