someone get the irons and leave the shingo wedge so i can grab it PLEASE..!

ive played a cpl of good tracks, thsi one was the first time id palyed it on a "speccy" recomendation form a friend. thankfully we did it was so awsome. its my no1 now.

the grass has grown, the green season in full swing , rollout is at a minimum... so the bag morphs yet again............, the drivers in rotation are now the 10.5* kamui pro-GD p9003x 10.5* epon zero-diamana x 70s 10* yamaha tour --crazy cb50 8.2. and they are going ver y very well indeed.all these get ver ygood distance and huge carry, the lowest beingt he epon zero, but with just the slightest raise of the tee the ball goes from strong piercing to high soaring in a nano-second. not much esle going to get used for the next 3 months. the fairways .sorry nothing to report here the stinger shafted 12.8* fairway driver from kasco and the yamaha v17 stinger still have thsoe spots. althought my eye did wander off again to the new royal collection 305v woods, on severla occasions.., IF iwas going to change these are the ones that would get the nod most assureadly. the utes ahve gone. the irons have been a batle between the miura 5002 and the srixon pro 100, with the pro 100s gettign the nod most times. but now they wil be benched for the af-tours... the yamaha tours..... and the EPON PERSONALS.... the grass thickness and length means more oomph needed , these clubs provide that oomph. in abundance. the wedges ahve been the vokey forged, and they are fantastic. for thin lies these things are sueprb, but after playing the tourstage marus agn o nthe weeekend. they WONT be leaving the bag till november id think. just so great for hitting off marshmallow fairways. the lob wedge is t he shingo onoff labo spec at 59* i though this wasnt enough loft. ha...! plenty!!!!! but that will be benched tiil the grass gets tight. the 61* maru is plenty ok.... the putters i m still plumbing fo the axis eagle in coin matches. but experimenting wth a heap of others ive got .. but the axis has the bag spot for now. the bag.......... well i manged to secure a roddio tour caddy bag which i needed like a hole i nthe head, but i had to have it anyway along with my lovey onoff cart and kinoshohanpu carry.... i really need to get a differnt life...!

jeez.. that wa sa quick morphing to JDM.. ! beautiful set up indeed.

our bunkers are paper thin normally the sand is barely there. the amount of times i skull the damn thing thru the green.. im getting one!. agree chris the new vokeys forged are going great guns for me. as well. loving them. the shingo ive benched for the nect 3 months bec the grass is so so lush im back using me beloved tourstage marus. thasoe huge soled things just scoop up the ball and leave the most delighfull divot. but out of bunkers no way hose..... terrible from thin sand bunkers.. brilliant for fluffy

they certianly look authentic..,

the yururi for my book

well............... i HATE the feel of TT dynamic gold shafts . they really are ordinary , feeling tubes of silver painted granite. in ANY HEAD. why these were the only shafts availble for the last 20 thousand years to gofing mortals i dont know. thank G, for companies like NS , shimada etc.., who take care and the time to produce something "playable" to the normal 99% of the golfing population . then these things came out last yr.... and they are "tour issue only" think................somehing like .., if DGs200 are at the back of the classless shaft train carriage . (in the back row.....) and NS 950 s are the first class behind the engine. these puppies are the top of business class. they are smooth, they dont break ur elbows on miss**ts they arnt low nor high. they are super stable. they are moveable. not rod like and they are alomst unbeatable in wind........... ive beben playing these in all flex from S to tour x (gulp, bit off a bit too much there is can assure you...) for the last say 9 months they are an utter pleasure to play. for all i REALLY know............, they really might be a DG s300 spray painted gold shaft sold to mugs like me for 5 times the retial price. but they dont feel like it. i trust them to the very best heads i own. ONLY the very very best if they come up gents go em!

tough to endure at places like this. you really need to score well to enjoy your day ha..!

hhehhee ,, yea except for me 7 iron is my bogie club! i hit the 6 iron like a beaut. i try all my iron makings in 6i first, give so many more variables to look at. 7 iron just goes high and lands. i get bored looking at it , the 6 however looks totally differnt.

nothing like the ezones they look very old school. i like the look of them. never seen heard of them before tho.

yea.. i got to hit them. i agree they are a triffle stiff and heavy but i liked them a lot . . i think ill swap him some protos ,lighter and more "pingy" shud suit him much better id think.

185 ish into a very heavy cross/ head wind . i was watching from the FW to the right and went ....,. "oh hes middled that puppy with his trusty PRGR ..." to... "ohhh he got that good......" to " oh boy hes really nailed that.." to "oh man, is that.................., is that, in........., is that even possible from there ????????" YES indeed it is! love seeing things like that , it brings the day alive.

agree ... really really agree

NARUSAWA CC kawaguchiko, yamanashi ken.. starday 10th a double ,,hmm not good start on a pr 5... 11th another double (with a 4 putt.. ) if looks could kill..., 12th double form impossible postiiton, things not going as planned.... 13th dog leg left elevated green into heavy heavy wind. 5 wood in hand after a well struck ,but slightly pulled drive to the left side rough, 2 feet before the steep FW bunker and no line of sight...., into huge sloping green left to right. bang shots in the air................., lands on front edge.. KA- DUNKNOTHING but net.! raptuous applause form the group in front . walk up to the hole aha! jefff "IDRIVE" -san..., had just re written the classic book "the eagle has landed" super shot highlight of the trip on one of our best courses. u shud have seen his face when i walked to the hole and said "he bud,, put that wedge away... oh and while ur at it... dont need that golds putter either.. " one hell of a shot indeed. golfs great........,

got the 950s in stiff never hit just pulled. clogging up my club room.

No hes not hea on a train digestimg the weekends fold in the mounrians might tkae some time to rerurn mw thinks

Both the yonwx and rhe ryoma ive found aretops at really shortt length. Remwmber its 100pct abt accuracy distance is an added bonus

Im Still on my 1st proper one in games without mucking around axis eagle has top spot the shape is weird but it suits me putting practice isnt some thing i can do there no greens i can go to mid week same as chippingim resigned to the fact ill always be a "if only "player when i putt well scores plumet doesnt happen very much tho game of golf in japan $400 road tolls100 caddy fee120 chipping close and draining uo and down........ Priceless! chipping close and draining it

Thats what i do a lot ive got a short 9' and a stock 45 9.5 for having a lash with ususaaly the yamha tour and the yonex ezone in oz as the 3 wood is irrelevant at home the short yonex is a good foil

Yea i was stunned but the thing was i was hitting the kamui way longer and geting it on the screws a hell of a lo more i think i just play short better these days

Compared to my outrageously tiny tourstage mr23, the personals are dead flat , compared to the srixon pro100 the personals off set is noticeablefor about16 seconds then u pick up the yonex ezone Which in comp.looks like a shovel so does the miura5002 and dont even go there with the sakamotos! Might as well use these for excavatingy land fills . The tour stage 905 miniscule heads have a noticeable chink. Every set ive got except the miuraism and srixons have an off set that i can see clearly and , i now love it the yonex ezones are veritable backhoes but that young japamese fella hits em ok and i beleive so do most others that have them they are2011 models and the off sre is huge in thosebut it maters not i iota they are as dynamic as anything iver ever triedand truth be told they are the easiest to move about these things u can bend like the poshs toyboy the way the companies do thr off set now , personally i love it wont play anything else now makes hitting the ball so much easier and u still get thedynamics u need beleive me anyone just go hit a yonex ezone mb see for ya self im a fan of the new old shape but back to the personals i reall dont think people will nitice the off set seconds after striking a ball i didnt i just did beceause the other set in my hand is so square i ended up hitting 3 times more balls withe the epon than anyingthing elseby the end it was just a superb club

undertand ur point 100% when u see these in hand i think ur mind changes pretty quickly , i was of same mind as you i thought they were plain ugly- nasty. then i saw one, in the flesh , hmmmmm they not too bad at all..., and then i HIT one. everything changed.

i had a very good blast with the 7 i last night with NS modus 3 in it. i had a lot of my own 7 irons as well with various shafts my current gamers are the srixon pro 100 blades. very traditional looking blades, but ....., with a very rounded profile. i also have a set of af tours which i use as a quasy cavity style, when the day is lovely and grass lush these get the nod. after striking a heap of balls with all irons i got to thinking.. this club is NOT in the blade bracket, one should NOT compare this club to the traditional tiny thin blades. the personals are a lot more chunky. more robsut . . the personals have quite a thick top line with a small compact face the over all aesthetics look very pleasing and very playable, ur not hitting a skinny, paper thin, whisker thin blade here , this is BLUE STEEL. the personals are thick , small and compact and soft as hell to strike, but quite a full feeling . my other blades are very "thin" in comparison , this was the most noticeable differnce i found last night . the persoanls were def the nicest to hit. they have a fuller feeling than the af tours as well. the impact stays with you longer..... its lovely sensation they dont look like the aftours one bit. the sole is thinner, the blade noticeably smaller, rounder and chunkier. they sit some where in between the 302 and yamaha tours in both looks feel and style i reckon. i love that style. i noticed that i can pick these pretty clean . cleaner than both yammy tours and 302s , but no where near as clean as the srixons, and nothing like the tourstage, not even close, (nothing is). but alternatly when u dont get these ones clean u skip over the top very veyr thin. the personals no where near as much. i maintain they seem to be a pretty easy blade STYLE , but theres nothing traditional about these at all. i think EPON designed a brilliant product here, i dont really classify them as out and out blades. i think they are a more dynamic 302/yamaha tour style club. right in the middle they are def more player eqsue . id play these in a heat beat an sell a lot of other brood mares i have to accomodate the new stallion to the stable. i had them working around both ways with a bit more control than the other tradtitional blades . but a bit more workability than the 302s, miss hits were are a LOT more controlled and less dead! this is def. one of these clubs highlights, miss**ts DONT kill you anywhere near as badly as trad. blades do. overall these are a really lovely feeling iron. they are surprisinly easy to hit, control is terrific distance loss was a tiny wee bit noticeable ,but i was using the wrong shafts for a start , with my shafts would sort that out immediatly . u can move these around a wee bit , but are not for bending like beckahm . but small controleld fades and draws..................., yea boy! now my big question is would i game these at longy in the puff....., 100% YES.
