diamana X first play
its def nicer to me , so hard to put in words how something feels when u hit it the diamana x is def tigher feel at impact than the bb but htats got a nice kinda more rubbery sling to it. seriosuly theyare al lgood shafts.. i prefer the feel of the crazy. but is is a better shaft ?? theres no way ot say, i just like to hit it the best. no il ove to play it really its beautiful.

driver build....
ok in all the haste to get the latest and greatest.. the trusty old favourite the compostie techno quadra fire express seems to have been just brushd by the way side. not really sure why.. so im going to build another one this week. got a brand spanker 75s a few mins ago. thinking what to do with it in terms of flex. keep it at 75s tip it a little tip it a lot for memory the quadra can be tipped with no harsh side effects. although i rem it goes a litte lower ,and its alsmot impossible to get it to go left. more than anything else. but the 75s i think plays alittle on the softer flex side. the head its going into is the kamui kp-x 10.5* any thoughts chaps??

diamana X first play
i think u will be fine honestly. u want low ball slammers, the X is perfect for it . u wont overpower it iplayed with a guy on the wekeend who is 6'3 110 kgs and his SS is 120+ id go 125 easily . ive nevere sen a guy swing as hard andf fast as this fellla..i gave him all my drivers to hit. he killed the stinger abso0lutely murdeerd it walked of 306 yards CARRY, the pitch mark was 1 foot from the ball.. we were mouths agape. he hadNOI probs with this BUT he has a very rounded swing and hits humongous hooks, man a cpl of them almost did a full circle, he uses NS SP blux X and hits high soaring bombs. a full club a half more than i do, its amazing to watch. when he starts playing agn full time im gonna get some incredble spectales of where balls can actually go. he was using a razor fit from callway with an aldilla 60x looks like some kind of grey shaft with skull bones on it red eyes. i gave him a cpl of mine to hit and he immediatly put an order in for a maruman conductor 9.5* head. and left the shaft choice to me. he hit the X twice badly . almost skulled my yamaha! gulp..., so i can say what they woulda done ,bu i did see 3 shots with the stinger and it was something ive never seen , he flew my drive twice. and i kiilled mine my buddy and i were just laughing. if he can do that with the stinger. ur NO probs with the X............ i called diamana and the confiormed the stinger is a LOW spin high launch shaft, the X is low spin low torque low launch. they "like" the X... yea so do i....!

Why so many forged JDM clubs?
never a truer word spoken. i used my yururi 1.618 wedges on the weekeend, while i could use them for a razor in the shower, the feel of them is awful! i love to use them but the diffence is so noticeable damn i wish he made things things forged. the shape of them is unreal.

diamana X first play
prob bec the way i can move it more than the other shafts and the flex in it feels like it imparts more spin hadnt used the trusty old stinger in my driver in a while but i got one in my adams 17* ute, some mad man ut this down to fit a ute,!!! im glad he did bec its now easily my best utilty.. i got one in my egg spoon 3 wood 13* which is so long off the tee its pretty scary. but, not played it in driver for a while. that might change this weeekend, ill game it in my yamaha 2011 head. ur right, ilove the stinger, it just feels higher spin. ill ask diamana if thast the case or its just the feel of it . hell of a shaft tho. accuracy with it is just fabulous.

info digested. windy as sin. wet fairways ,almost no roll , cross wind, head wind back wind u name it it was blowing like marilyn chambers on her first audition. could hardly stand up on a few. yamaha 9*---GD BB 6x. longest driver of the weekend ,VERY surprised by this VERY. dispersion was the worst , i guess due to 9* face but centered shots with this were fantastic. slices and hooks were more pronounced than with the "others" but the good ones were unquestionably the best. shocked! yamaha 10* ---Gd BB 7x got good length, good dispersion, with good feel , nice and lively, not as theatrical as the 6X did its job with aplomb, not awsome nor terrible just mr dependable of the range. good shots were nicely rewarded, bad ones were punished. flight was a little on the higher side . but i could get this to go left a bit . very very good shaft have NO probe recomending this shaft to anyone i nthe 107-115 SS range, id think. def NOW my fav of all the GD shafts ive hit to this point ( thats lot fyg). yamaha 10*---crazy cb 50 8.2 my gamer, made this end of last yr , nothing i can think of has been close to benching it. nothing even close. high soaring flight, tight as a knats chuff at impact. u aim somwhere the ball is going dead straight in that direction. a long way. easily he most taught feeling in my hands, no dispersion of energy all the energy feelsl ike tis going into the ball not thru the shaft and into yr nads. its truely the best lively feeling shaft along with the roddio shingo spec 2010 that ive ever hit. but this is tighter and stiffer.. yamaha 10* diamana X 60x was massively biased to hitting this more than the other shafts , simply bec ive played the others a cpl of times, this is the new toy. it DOES NOT GO LEFT its the derek zoolander of shafts. no not incredibly inceribly good looking.. its the non ambi turner. dead set i went a clobbering this bec iwasnt scoring and when you are . settign up on the right side of the box hitting into a left right cyclone aiming dead smack at ob trees on the elft..., it takes some getting ur head into. matterd NOT 1 iota the ball went dead straight or with a tiny fade back to the right every single shot. so much so i gamed it exclusively yesterday for nine. the 60 weight is PERFECT as is the X flex. even at 10* loft the ball flight was still low. very low on occasions. and i was concernd that all the 10* heads i have would be ballooning all over the shop. not at all delighted with 10* heads. easily the lowest of the flights and easily the most piercing . seemed to just penetrate the wind regardless of how much i turned the right hand thru the ball. feel... hmmm def diamana feel but with a nice "ping to it" wont say its my best feeling nor is it at the top of that tree actually. but yes performace wise its super. and yesterday in the wost wind ive ever seen i hit 5 of 5 o nthe shorties. cannot ask for more than that. and i was getting it out there a fair distance as well. 16th par 5 580ayrds dead flat 200 yard ravine carry onto 40 yrds width of pathway. its chkchk kabooooooom , and with a typhoon at my back it was heaven! 4 drives with each driver cumulative thoughts. distance.. 1-BB6x 2-diamana x 3-crazy 8.2 4- BB 7x 5- stinger grouping. 1-stinger(easliy ) 2-cb50 3-BB7x 4-diamana x 5-BB6x movement in air. 1-stinger(easily) 2-bb6x 3-bb7x 4-diamanax 5- cb50 launch stinger highest bb next cb50 diaman lowest by a margin spin stinger highest then i really couldnt spilt the rest to be honest . they all seemed pretty nude. winner winner chicken dinner..............................., accuracy the stinger distance prob the BB6x feel the cb50 easily if ihad to play just one of these to for the rest of the yr......................... the overall everythingness of this is just perfcet for me. crazy cb-50. pls ask questions . oh heres a cpl of ponderings i gotta make each week.

2 Questions - Need answers!
if , and i think u do, like the best feel available in yr clubs , as well as performance id go with the sigma.. the BB seems to feel a bit soft. the crazy doesnt what so ever. crazy shafts feel alot more rigid and less torquey than others i hit. the sgima has a real "twannnnnnnnnnnnnnng" feel to it

iron / shaft pairings gone completely mad.
over the last year or so, i realised i can not be playing golf like all my chums. one driver.. one putter just didnt cut my mustard. as it doesnt to most of us. 1 set of irons (which i do think is prefectly acceptable) wasnt going to happen either not by a long shot then ifound pandoras box (thansk spoon) and was warned, in advance, NOT TO OPEN IT. fat chance!!!!! tour prototype iron shafts..........................................................., the carrot. the apple the coin glued to the pavement what ever uwantto call it i had to delve, and dive deep i did go. fathoms down ive opened the box, had a russell round , reshuffeld her goods and am swimming back to the surface. Now, there are no worlds left to conquer. im hoping my young fella gets to play with these in a bunch of yrs after i can no longer swing hard. YAMAHA 2008 ------NSproto ora stiff. CALLAWAY 2009 tour prefered ------ KBS tour prototype c-tapers SRIXON pro 100----NSproto 2fi5x SRIXON pro 100----TT monacco stiff SRIXON pro 100---NSproto c10 TOURSTAGE us blade"maru" ----mr26v TOURSTAGE us blade----NS proto ORA x MIURA cb1003---TT monacco stiff YONEX ezone MB---NSproto 2fi5X EPON af tour---Nsproto DP stiff YONEX ezone MB----NSproto DP x MIURAISM sb-01----TT monacco stiff the final paring im deciding on what heads to accompany the last set of NS proto C10 after this gents , im saddend to say my goose is cooked and ready to serve.....

Onoff forged vs. Fourteen TC930 vs. Yamaha Inpress x v tour 2011
hey 950 s irons are magical. when i get older u can guarantee ill be playing these. was tempted to keep them in my tourstage 905s i nthe4-6 but the monacco is just sturdier. the feel of the 950 is unequaled. such good shafts dont be worried by not liking the 11 yamahas either , they are yamahas most difficlt tour model. they are very much for the low handicapper. more so than the othermodels persoanlly ive grown to like them the best. they are low bullet shooters. use whats the best for ur game u know what i think of yammy product, but im using srixon and yonex irons now. the yamms will get thier day agn.. but not right now play what u play best

What do you guys think of this bag setup for 2012
diamana XX for CERTAIN if ur going that route ....! id go the sigma fw, it was really good when i hit it at crazy factory, really good. if u are choosing between those irons the 302 and the monaco or th sp blue hard to beat, the miura 5003 are magnificent irons if uwant to go blades. but if u have an off day ull be killed! those on- off are a bit in betwwen id think the 302 over those on- off driver kamui pro kp-x head yamaha v202 9* head get a gel insertion i n the yamaha head kapOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW...........!
