ok well looks like ur going to have multiple choices in the same line as those precepts...., epon 302 is a good thought. tourstage viq.. 701.. 703.. yamaha 2010.. 2009.... srixon ztx... theres a few i had a brief look at that might be of some interest.. u shud be able to get these for the money ur looking at.. shaft wise.... if u like the black golds , then the monacco wil be a very good choice. they have smoothness on NS but with a DG flight. in stiff flex at 122 gram they might be very good. monaco in stiff getting very hard to come by tho. -
jbeam 435 9*-- graphite design bb7s... 45 inch 315 ish weight(?) not exact bec the weight i changded in the back are all PROBABLY 2 grams each so the head is about 195 ish all up id hink... so 50 for grip and 70 for shaft yea 315 +/- a tiny bit.., played in conjunction with a newly built yonex ezone 9* with diamana stigner S flex... that was way heavier 329.5gram first the jbeam.., i had this originally with a crazy cb50 8.2 weighted in back to206 gram. needless to say.. centered shots withthis were monstrous. off cnetred went nowhere far to heavy far far too heavy for my liking. flight was crazy low . so instead of toning it down.. i thught why not go the whole hog and go uber light. id had a few range sesions with ti with some mixed results , wasnt sold on it, but as we al know that means nisssh .. range schange.., match play is what determines how a club really goes under pressure well this was a MUCH bigger pleaasnt surprise than i thought it was going to be. the flight was NOTICEABLY higher, but still on the low side. my head speed was significenat increased and off centered shots went MUCH MUCH better and longer. the good shots i got i killed but of bec of the swing weight which i think cudnt have been much heavier than c9.. .... i got it to draw , but i was aiming completley worng bec id never drawn it before.., yup a beautiful baby draw.. so i figure the shaft in it suits magnicicently.. its a superb match, just a wee bit more flex. gives the head the ability move a bit. and really sling the bal ...left... i stil cant believe i did this the weights in the back are JUST a bit too light , i think ill re do this to 320ish gram and this im guessign this will be about perfect. the feeling is noticebaly "thiner" at impact at curent conditions.than previous set ups which is SO SO SO SO dissapointing with this driver bec i have no reservations now in sayin this IS the kahoona of kahoonas for distance. only JUST over the kp-x but it is.. the ball flight was MUCH better new than previosusly . but still on the low side.. way way to low for most guys likes i think, but i like low flight. im used to low flight.. this new soaring style im working on is unnatrural to me it was nice to go back to basics.. the 9* i think IS too low a loft for this club as a genral thought... for pretty much most guys.. this really is a low laucnher. but . i have it for wind and i need JUST a bit more weight in it to get my tempo perfect.its a hell of a build but just a bit of modifying will def make this better. distance overall was awsome. it was def longer than the yonex. yonex was great can work this and rely on it thstigner amtch is terrific,.. fallen in love with mr yonex all over again.. cud have done with JUST a bit lighter to get better distance tho (why the hell they built that new thing is beyond me! the nextage is miles better than the 380...) for MY SWING SPEED at 47/48 mp/s- ..., the jbeam gdbb7s i can for see as a mgic stick.. with a wee bit more weight to about 320ish i think will make this perfect.. but how to do that with 3 weight ports..., thinking needed. but well worth it. i just wont be mixing this driver with a heavy one ever again..! if u want a new shaft for a jbeam,, the th bb WORKS AND FEELS VERY VERY GOOD. yea.. def 2 thumbs up fo this baby..

ive just learned in no uncertain terms.., that my crotaion policy of playing all my delicious clubs ISNT that good anb idea unless you blance ur clubs perfectly...! yesterday i came acropper BIG time... irons.., epon personals-- ---monacco X flex = heavy . very strurdy .very smooth clubs. delicious to play driver yonex nextage---- 201.6 gram head , 9* + 69 gram stinger s shjaft 45 inch @ 329.5 gram build heavy smooth , HIGH launch suited these irons perfectly.... pefection. open bag policy yesterday..., also had the jbeam 435 9* graphite design bb7s with LIGHT weights in the ports so build was close to 315 gram.. reason was , trying to determine of the change of weight made a huge differnce to flight and distance... so was rotating the drivers on differnt holes... wedges yamaha with NS 1150 X - light very steady nice and stiff. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to light to be played in conjunction with the personals i swung over the top of 4 , 52* wedge shots topped them all sent the mscuttiling thru the green like a worm killer from being dead centre of fairway 105 yards out.. im surprised people O/S cudnt hear my screams of frustration. ..., esp as i was hitting the yonex driver absolutely perfectly .....,long and straight FINALLY..! what i did discover was that going from the heavy driver.. heavy irons to light wdges and light driver equalled disturbing swing modifications that lead to snap pulls on the jbeam.. and topped wedges. so.. if ur going to play heavy irons DO NOT go to light wedges ,, and alsoe dont mix drivers with light nad heavy esp in a match,,,,, it doesnt work. all u do is slice the ehavy one and pull the pants off the light one. the yamaha wedges are getting a set of x100s in them . and the light stiff flex ks 120 wedge shafts are also getting pulled.. i cant get a rythem with them. as an side.. the jbeam is well.. new post to come...

hahaha .., what a great looking hole. so much trouble for me to get into perfect! ly 02 got cha..,

i spent a lot of coin geting a set of ns 1050s done a while ago. i used them enough to be able to judge if it made a difference. i think it"might" have but im not 100% sure. the shaft i had done sure are tight but i cant/wont say definitively that it made a significnat change. when i hit them i thought they arevery striaght adn very rigid but... over non SST ones, nah cant say. the logos are all rotated tho... and its damn expensive to do! illnever do it again.

performance capabilities have pretty much reached thie full potential for every maker, right... so what makes one driver head """better"""" than another for me comes down to basically.... looks......... and what i want to design it especially for.. i the shape of the head for me is THE most single important determinant . bec they are all uber top quality that doesnt need saying......................., beceause if i can see the head gettign sqaure at impact in my mind before ive even hit it t , then the chances of me getting to do that when i play are massively increased. and thats why i took such a huge shine to the kamui pro kp-01 when i first saw it i just went WOW,, yes THIS is def for me..!!!! ... that "weird" non symetrical shape immediatly lets me see long crushed left field PULLS but the shape of the head doessnt actually let it go left.... and over the alst 4+months since i found this thing this head has delivered me consistant fairways with a much more midddled shot much more often than anything else i got..... thats why it prob goes a bit longer and straigter " on average " for me.., than my others. its def NOT my best feeling club , the epon zero is that by a country mile. and its not my straightest thays the ryoma nor the most workabkle , thats the yamaha tour. nor is it the longest. thast hte jbeam 435 but overall combining these just works .but if i hit 20 drives with every driver i have i reckon ill get closer to the centre of this baby more often than anything else. and ill prob get it longer on average thats why im using it certian drivers i build suit certian conditions better than others.. id never play my 9* jbeam 435 /GDbb7s on rainy days in japan in summer. and id never play my 12* kamui pro--bimatrix at NSW in a southerly .

another................... on -off golf bag joining the already overflowing colletion. just what i need..........! love the on off stuff.

gee ... we all got our horses for courses.... but i just cant think id part with them unless something catastrophic happend and i had to liquidate everything. even then they would be THE last things in golf to go. everyting else would go first. (well excpet my yamaha 5w ) id hide that so NO one cud find it...! the NEW yamaha tours , yes...... they might be .. a worthy oponent.
-
esp........................... on the greens! hahahah
-
yea that immediatly sprang to mind.. i find the perosnals are very straight as a rule , they dont really share too many traits with blades. thats why i kinda thought they were closer in style to the epon 302--yahama tour--- than blades. so the SP blue would be a hell of a match! yes damn good thought....

the differnce is pretty marked. ive played the NS c10s the DP X the modus 3 and the monacco and the monacco EASILY suit these heads best... i was quite taken aback by how much better. as a thought id be surprised if the X100s didnt go superbly as well. i think lower shafts in these heads as a general rule....
