i used these new gold prides niion yesterday on some wedges, veyry happy with them. nothing really to see, just a bit harder tour velvet. very good . to play.

the waccine gr88 XS shaft. what a great shaft. heavy , but i t doesnt feel lead like . a very thick feeling at impact. launch is low , flat and very very powerful piercing shot. was griping right down on the club yesterday and punching hard into the ball and it repsonded superbly. the jbeam 425 tour head is fantasic with it. its solved my search for the powefull striaght links buster club. the shaft was as awe inspiring at first imapct as the stnger was for me . its quite possibly the best shaft ive played

the B is higher launching than the BB by GD. the kaili is a pretty muted feel , not dissimialr the BB , its good for players of all abilities. u can do a few things with it. its not overly high. prob in between the B and the BB the kalils play sensationally in fwds

played the original in it for about 6 shots. while it was adequate . it was to whippy for me swapped it out for a diamana stinger boron in 70s. this went high and very long. played it in hawaii for a decent time and it more than held its own against some very big guns. only thing id think is it prob went a little BIT too high for those conditions every day. downwind tho, oh baby its nice !! shafted the other one with a diamanaX. lighter head same as urs 196 gram. this set up has been really good. lowered the trajectory and gained more roll. maybe tigher over all . as long as i dont try and wallop it it gets very good distance, but it not an ideal set up for me, as its too light. played this enough to know its nuances. calm days its as good as anything. as its just so straight..! but the lighter head works against me. thats just me tho. the better suited shaft is prob the stinger for me. . the boron makes this come alive, and its def longer. the crazy boron might be a very good idea. the stinger def is. simlar stuff. the diamana X is for control.

Ok

as an aside ...... i rehsafted an older roy coll bbd 17* 4w with a diamana ali islei 80s just simple fact. 256 out on sunday par 5, 5th at ishioka, GC hit the middle of green with height AND run. this thing has just ended quite a few of my other lower 15* fwds bag spots ...... permananatly ur SS that shaft is as good as antyhing ive hit is a fw. the extra height adn super stability. if uwanna play with a fw shaft thast get the bal UP then look no further best shot to a green ive ever hit. bar none ,flight was PERFECT . not as long as the diamana B but easier to control

but.......... that is pretty close to the flight path of these shafts right?

get back to extracting teeth..!

knew u were gonna say that!!!!! ok art baby...!

yup and a fantiastic set up. these shafts are just a wee bit softer than the normal protos form NIPPON. so the ball can actually go a bit sideways when needed. the profile of ORA shafts for those that need to know are a low take off, (like a plane.......) then the ball peaks and literaly falls dead at the apex. they are prob the best shafts for shotting at pins of all the shafts ive used. and they are silky smooth. weight ithink is 125 gram (?) il check it but its +/- a cpl from there. as a rule NS protos play pretty stout, but these dont. these are prob the closest to "at spec " as NS protos come in.

they might just surprise you. well not really ull just remeber them the second u hit them they spin PLENTY ....... every which way . very heavy heads. and they look the nuts.

coops , so it more of an aesthetics issue than performance? thats what ive found so far. mine are still spot on. but def worn a bit . not as much as chiros tho.

yes....................... yes indeed... im gettign mine re shafted with the modus 130 protos for EXACTKY that reason, high NO spin, thin sole. dead striaght. they going back home as well. too thin on the grass here in summer. to be as effective as on other surfaces i hit straight into the mantle. chunks of magma stick to the face. the marus get rebagged tis weekend, been too long..!

3 rounds with this now on differnt courses in differnt conditions, hot windy dry, hot wet still and just plain old dead set foookeeen HOT...! diamana X 70s. sunday was a tourny course set up for a tourney so the fairwayas were pretty thin it was a jack nicholas coure so ewhen udrive the ball well, u get rewarded iamagine that theres n otrees i nthe middle of the fairway of grass mounds at 270! a pleasure to play on hes the master in my book. played it from the blues so my distance measurres were most unusual. not sure where to aim. 400 yards shoreter is a hell of a lot to give back to the course ,esp from the drive. anyway fairways hit 11/14. thast sensational was a bit windy too so that fact is def magnified. was choking down most drives and punching this thing and getttign it centered most times. a cpl of good full swings and kapoooooooooooooow . very impressed with distance over playing partners ver yvery impressed. most impressive tho was the control i had when i just punched it 1/2 swing to get low scuttler running i have no need for a 3 wood with this driver now its a 3 wood killer form the tee. short punchy drives, not a problem old boy. the one remark i wil make in the negative is the feel. its very "thin" like paper thin and it doesnt feel like u get maximum bang for ur buck , if u miss the centre. but u actuallly do. if u miss the centre of it it feels weak , but it actualyl isnt. the middle is lovely , beautiful "thawng" to it. the convex face is right up my strase. i love that shape didnt realise how much i do everything i feel iwant to do with that head pretty much comes out. except no where near as much bec the diamanaX is so damn straight. now after plenty of work wit hit the bigggest issue alot of guys wre having is flight trajectory. im finding high toe shots baloon more................... than the vspec. low heel shots turn over more but still go ok. ive not been dead yet with one of those. ithink.......... i def think it launches HIGHER than its sposed to. or. rahter what peolle equate to what an 8.5* head should. deadcentere not a problem at all but slightyl off centre and it DEFINATLY goes high. the v-spec is much better over all control lower flight head. the vspec i dont think holds acandle to over all distance on this thing but the vspec is , i think ,a more relaible weapon for out and out control. the straigh face angle makes looking dead stright down a fairay much easier , but asyou all know im a weirdo, i need to see big arcs this suits my eye SO much better, that big rounded face say smack me baby!!!! lovin it fellas. loving it larrrrrrrrrrrge...!

yep but iuse a micro thin 60* lob there not the 60* bold. the bounce is too high for sydney. , its a bit clunky for kaikuya grass compared to the yururi raws. the prgr and these went very well on sudnday. although, the fourteens were brillinant match a cpl of weeks back, same kinda shape,

hahahahhahaahhh, classic.

what are we into now...... 6-7 months with these. got the lofts from 50-60. all manner of shafts. all of which seem to be going perfectly. played form late winter to mid summer with them and they are just getting better and better. ive got so many wedges from differnt makers , and these just seem to be performing better. the big deep bounce thin sole and larger face seem to be a great mix for me. they dont seem to be the spinniest wedges ive got. nor are they anywhere near the most versatile but after i just point shoot and pop them up i have no issues the ball just seems to pop and drop, the ydont back up yards, they just seem to be an accurate easy to play wedge im loving them the rogue 52 and 50 ive been struggling with early days is now a non event, and going to a set of irons wher the PW is 46* the 50* bold is a perfect match.... 50- 56 60 oh yes indeed. i might be the only one that likes these....,

this is happenein on mine. however on sunday it didnt make the lisghtese lick of difference the balls topped dead on a dime every time its not as pronounced as this but its def happeeneing to my wedges IF this dies make a differnce to performance after a few games..., u can rest assured i will be the first on the phone to s-yard, in fact ill be down at their office , bec its right opposite one of my fav restaurants. and il lbe demanding satisfaction. this photo of yours doenst look good!

hahaha yea well horses for courses. it took all my resolv and some stern words of common sense from a few members here to make me do this i was going to put them in a case and hang them on a wall after all there wont be many of these played around the place...! they are juts magnificent. tbh i dont really care if i do or dont when im an old badger, i can bust thee out nad play them if i really need to. but for now my playing irons are firmly set.
