supo

ok i spent the whole lunch time in the clubmakers today going thru wedges..........., hes got every spec on every club ive ever had built... so.. i got thorough numbers... the yamaha heads are heavy.. the NS 1150x are 117 gram the whole build was 467.5 gram. that. shud be perfect... but its not the mizuno t10 with NS sp blue stiff are 455 gram. ligh compact head.. d2 SW. the tourstage marus are light heads with 135 NS proto 2s14s shafts in them at 472.5 gram these ones i think i hit best... i bought a heap of the monacco shaft 8 irons to put in my wedges as a general shaft. ive got a cpl of monaccos in stiff that play lovely in my tourtsage marus... really really well but im going togo heavier wit hte 130 ish gram shafts... then ill be able to see perfeclty

yea good idea.... il go that way..

rearry.... i aint hit these in a while.... and iwant ot build a set.. what about say hard stepepd S or so soft steped X... bette find the weights on them maybe asoft stepped X cud suit ?

yup all going up this week... ordering a cpl of newies from T today

goes very very well but the loft is veyr high .. im going to build it for winter where i think it will out perform a lot of other drivers... its butter soft and the ball seems to stick on the face for centuries. i happy gilmoured it in summer and it went 278 on the fly ddint move 1 millimeter after landing with a crazy cb46 7.4 shaft.. so distance on it is more than fine.... its just so high.. im thinking of going with a the GD p9003x in it to take some flight out... itried the crazy sigma but hte balance point was too high up th shaft and the swing weight came out too low even at 329 gram was c9...

welcome..... XXIO........................ XXIO........................XXIO..................... look very hard at a set of XXIO.. i recomend these XXIO irons for EVERY beginner i meet here in japan. they are the market dominator here for the lesser skilled player.. ive played the clubs i bought for guys here and ill tell ya they are as easy asu can possibly want need, adn they will do u till u get semi good. place a WTB add and see if someone has a set.. or contact T for a new set... theres prob others guys will chime in with suggestions. but really????? u wont find BETTER

sp blue................. low launch arrow straight .. not great off centre shots ....,middled tho nothing too much better ive hit.. IMO they shud be played by the best ball strikers...... in wind or on links they are unmatchable............so much so that im going to get another set for my annual chrissy trip home in dec and stick em in my miura 5002s. ONLY need these in stiff flex and i play x in everything else...... DG s300.. make a lovely set of arrows if u sharpen the tip . put a slit in the butt and shoot from bow...... .wha?? did i say that or think it ????? nah they are ok. absolutely nothing to say about them except they are stock in everying bec they are cheap. ks smhimada tour 120..... very very nice shafts.. kinda mid launch kinda workable.. kinda good feeling .. kinda easy ... kind good. theseshafts are difficult to sedcribe bec the kinda do everything really well without having a particular selling point... they just work really well. prob on the softer side. ive used them in X and S i prefered the x.. but id prob soft step the x next time to gte just a wee bit of lateral movement,, the s id prob hard step .......

im going to get this and the new GD z9....... someo ne tke some crazies off me and ill give them all a rip ithink................. im a diamana guy...!

yea.. tourstage have kinda "fallen" (?) away in popularity

gee these are nice blades. ive been looking a htese for yonks... so simple spo pretty and id imagine very soft huh?

cant help u with the 707.. but i can give usome clues as ive got and palyed the 701s. if ur a pretty good stirker.. dont have to be awsome.. just good ...,then u will LOVE these irons . if u like no offest. medium body head.., thin top line .. VERY thick muscle on a thin cavity. with a square look.. then theres no reason u wont like these, bec to hit.. they are really really good. they are very workable. the sole is realtively thin .. thinner than the yamaha tours and epon 302s and such so they are prob aimed at the better plAYER loking for smalls forgiveness.... i saw the 701s and liked the fact they didnt have t all the "modern" ness to them. simple lines simple design that , when u hit it is delicious... im guessing the newer model is prob more forgiving... if the 701 is anything to go by then the new model will be terrific.

the photos are yamaha 2009 inpres forged irons im sure some guys will have an older sets of yamahs lying baout they might want to upgrade.... doesnt have to be 2009.. all t he years are great just a differnt cavity design... i played all of the yamaha irons and these and they are all really good. can not fault a yamaha

oh yea.. all m yfairway woods are driver shafst cut... a LOT of deriver shafts i find i prefer in 3woods than in drivers. the kaili,, the ahaina.. ali islei.. fire express, roddio s7.. these ive found suit me better as fwd shafts

veyr dioffernt shafts the proto was lower and a much tighter feel. very veyr tight. i think i liked the original better.. but the proto was prob a better sutied shaft, it dint seem to go as far right on misses as the FEX. but he FEX is just a ledgend shaft for feel. i think i f i had no predeliction to slicing id prob only play the FEX

no... the ones he has are different.. il lask him if im allowed to pop a cpl of photos up. i have to go back in tonight to ask himn some driver questions anyway

over the last few months ive used all my hoard of wedges and the wedge shafts i think are good but a bit light for me are the NS WV 120.. these things are good for spin. ..yes.., i get good spin with them. and the ks 120 wedges shafts area lower launch. and get good spin.. but im thinking these are still too light. afterplaying some super heavy 135 gram shafts and liking them its very hard to go back to normal weighted shafts but i nthe lob wedge... i wont mess with that bec its going so damn well. im ordering some monacco 8 irons shafts................,

Thats the one.i have thst driver and its damn good they changed thier name? They still have solid contacts as thier name onthhe door Thier emblem is a sheep right Thier showroom is interesting looks like showsace forchanel But with 6 driving range.bays and clubs displayed everywhere Nice guys and the heads i saw i know already from other makers But the blades look good real good Wont know anymore till i can hit one They have ryos clubz all over the place No rush but when i can hit one ill have more to say

hang on, before someone else does... bec icant find the smiley thing.... ill start this with..... ******* this thread is worthless without pics ********. i guess you all cant really imagine my smile when one of my favourite small time clubmakers moved shop to less than 1/2 kilometer form my house. and then multiply that by a gazzillion when he decided to make me........ a prototype 6 iron blade.... to take to oz over christmas................, to test....... and a 2 wood and a driver............... unfortunatly i cant show piccys of the head but put it like this my jaw dropepd at its shape. no words till i get in mid dec. and hit it but it looks really, really good.. somewhere in between the yonex ezone back and the roma-ro head shape. NO offset. true blade. beautiful lines no mumbo jumbo on the back weighted to MY specs and my loft ; lie its a true proto. gee i hope it plays ok.... bec im very excited.. i wil say thier drivers play very very nicely mine is 11*... its getting a P9003x. its got humongous carry! btw.... they USED to make heads for crazy. and ryo ishikawa so i guess ........ they gott be ok huh.. well see.......... T u got any info on them ?

right............. this or the jbeam 435 II suggestions?

gotcha.. ok im onto it..

i have noticed that i can play the fire expresss in a flex DOWN.............. not up like i previously thought, and i get much better results. its longer its bit whipier but thast good beci i can get my hands thru the ball aqnd not slice as much......, the 75s ive had sensational results with since coming down flex.... i just need it on a head thats closed.. oh the kamui por kp-x............. with this shaft it was scary long. but i had it in the wrong head 9.5* open for me = utter disaster! 10* closed and this wil ltake some equalling

ifu like the precetps( i didnt even know what thye were) i had to look them up ... but they are from bridgestone.. well if u like those then try the tourstages range. the tourstage like the miuras are differnt to the US than we get in japan. i have no clue of any miura USA model. except the 1957s. totalyl differnt to the ones here. the 302s are superb stickstho, iunderstand ur thoughts long term on those... a WTB add might just get u somehting interesting perhaps. ???? and ill tell u a set of older 301s................. they are a little less forgiving than the 302s ull def get for a good price. check these out. i play these back in oz and they are mustard........... non tour.. rounded look and suoer easy to play . workable. control got the mshafted with a set of these KBS protos in black nickel.. high long super soft to play ,awsoem sticks when long reef ground is sodden .. these are LONG they must be 1 club longer than my usual sticks. the heads are superb

im as delicate as drunkard in a brothel. but i geg ur meaning.bec in my 60 and 61 * wedges i use NS 950s with a thin grip and its been going sensationally. much much better thna my other 2 wedges.. the lob has been awsome. bec i only hit tiny shots with it . ok then... so if im using monacco X shafts what sud i be using in my 52 + 56 wdges.. is x-100 ok bec thats what i was going to instal.

the bb is nothing like the di what so ever. its not like any GD haft ive played its feels totally differrent. im a prettty big fan of it inadvertanly ive manged to find my self with about 3 of them in diffent pieces. one in my egg spoon, one in this driver , 2 in yamaha tour drivers. yea they are good. the quadra fex i absolutely love ............... when im not hitting fades.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh yea , funny i post this and u post the t snapped shaft one ., . well actually not being funny.. this goes very well together. and u can move it!
