     Ok.. i just  had a discussion  and found an article  (  which  i think  is saying  ) the 2010 groove rule is ONLY for expert players  ,basically  the  USPGA and equivalent tournaments. so pre 2010 irons/ wedges, (especially wedges) are ok for us non experts to play in  general and in club competitions  still , now  and add inifinitum.

     

     Correct me if im wrong BUT  the general   thinking and consensus , certianly i was guilty of  was that those old clubs are /were  illegal  from 2010 .........

     it seems they  are NOT.............. they are playable  by normal golfers now 

     

    "The USGA hasn’t been elusive about its goal – to make it more important for Tour players to hit the ball in the fairway. For the rest of us, this is really a non-issue as far as whether or not your wedges can continue to be used.

    If you are a professional golfer on one of the top tours, or if you plan to try to qualify for one of the three Open Championships, you’ll probably need new conforming wedges by Jan. 1, 2010.

    If you plan to qualify for any other USGA championship, you’ll need new conforming wedges by 2014. This might include the top amateur events in the nation as well.

    If you don’t play those specific events, you are good to go until at least 2024 " 

     

    can anyone  elborate on this  for IRONS   pls , i presume its the same ? 

     

     

  2.  Of   all the  shafts in all the world... u had to walk into my domiain.

    im just thinking how many shafts ive tried over the milleniums .. has to be  way  more than a  hundred differttn models    id think. 

    the DIAMANA x  is  the most complete "semi"   production shaft ive hit.

    there are 2 that i rank higher in terms of prestige  and  wow factor, 

     the  full boron  diamana stinger form 2010  and the 7 dreamers,

    both of those i put ever so slightly ahead of the X.  the stinger by a whisker , the 7d............, well................................ 

    the  7D  u need to get made to ur exact specs  to maximise its perfromance AND  choose the head to go with it, not just grab one and hope other wise ur  dicing with a lot of uncertainty  by  just picking  one up  specs unknown,   well,  unless u have the same swing specs and like the same head shape as the original owner  then thats ok,  the 2 ive hit   in abundance  were  both customed   and  are absolutely  totally lights out  for feel and performance, looks and  confidence. 

     One was made for  Craig  ( long rest his JDM soul)  which  by all rights i shudnt have liked BUT  ........... i i almost ddint send to him it was so  good !!!  and the other is the one im  gaming now. .

    no kidding anyone , the 7d is THE  best shaft ive ever hit and am likely to hit  , ever period, end of chat.

    but , its crayz exxy.

    so

    as it stands  for a  semi production shaft  bec they were limited ,, the  DIA  X  is the best of any of the rest with the  stinger

     i have a total of 14  x and stingers in my collection .

    its got to the point that i just weened myself off pretty much all else., clsoe behind hese are a cpl of the quadras,  the  original   fire express the best of them. 

    from the jbeam 435 to the kamui pro triangle back  typhoon  the X  just  suits .

    they are not strip back  shards  of railroad track that dont bend. they are not worm burners , they are not super heavy.

    in the words of the head of diamana shaft 2 yrs ago at the trade fair.

    " Stew -sn thanks  for  you supprt  over  al he  years and  pls keep plying out shafts, but i think  u have the  the best shafts there  is or will be  made so  dont worry about the rest of the new  range they are infereior in evey way, we prob wont make more of these they are too expensive  to put out to the public again, keep what u have  we prob  wont be making a better quuality shaft than what u have,   they wont be falling out of tech favour anytime soon.  both the boron and  the X are the best we did" 

     

     so  of course, i bought  5 more  that day.

     

    get em while u can, they prob wont be popping up agan soon.....

    but the  again..........

     

      there is i now inflation........................

     

     

     

  3.  i go thru love  , frustration with mine.

    if  im in a steep and deep  over the top swing phase , i  cant hit these.

     when im in a smooth rythmical  plane  swing phase they are lights out and i use   them all the time 

    .

    i keep thinking to sell.. then ,not selling......... selling   then  not selling.............

    i cant have  one set of wedges,  its not possible 

    my ones are   with NS sp orange .

     

     

    i wont play them when its wet  or in deep grass  i ,  find them much better for autumn.winter  when its dry and   hard 

    they clip the ball  clean as a whistle  ,  spin is off the richter  they schralp balls and skin en alive. !

     

     

     

  4. head shape reminds me of a cpl of older   heads  ive seen over the years  a   higher launch id expect with all that meat in the centre ? 

    i used to  have a set of wedges  that were raw faced,  might have been yururi  ithink... yea i think they  were 

    nothing looks better than the chrome body with the raw face.

    spin was  rediculous.

    good to have some  pointy nosed clubs , ive got my share, dont  play them that often, more for show games.

  5. hhahahaaha...   a list of endo forgings......................................   yea id like to see that as well

    oh   ive asked 1000 times.. oh    they dont do it.

     

     funnily enough  bec of privacy.................... they dont list  or tell u who  their customers are.

     

    the list  we  " know"   from yrs ago what ever that actually  means   is brief but peops  pls . feel free to add

    yamaha,, tourstage, prgr, epon, srixon

     AFAIK   thast about  it  off the top of my  head.

    then a few  bits and pieces  form others we  " kind of know about" ..

    callaway    got a set or two done , 

    TM  might have.  eons ago  ( but  highly  doubtfull ) 

    i asked specifically about the tm tp pro 09s faldo model and they said. sorry we dont reveal our customers.  with a slight tone towards maybe they did   but then i thoughgt.... with the  utter  spam  TM   pummel the mkt with it,   it makes no sense to do someting decent. away form the chinese pop out factories  when they can pump and dump   from china .  so .  as much as  id like to say yes   these were. and im  SURE i read they were.......  nowadays , ii highly doubt it..) 

    yes a list..

     

    pls  get  me one  as wel.. 

     

  6.  i think u are right nobs .. 

    a few  OEMS use a quasy diamana  blue a lot now  as thier stock shaft.

    i see them in a l few  different  heads but a made for variety.

    i hit a buddeis mizuno   driver recently with  a  new   65s  black diamana of some kind and it was great but not the same  stiffness as i was expecting  form  a stiff  diamana blue  ...  was a   good shaft   felt fine  but i did get a small case of hey  is this stiff or reg   ??
