Shimada

Of the retail shafts the ks tour 120 def. get my vote over the ns Sp blue just bec fhey are bit more friemdly and a bit more medium all round played them in all cinditions and never once wondered or wanted for anything different traj and flight is mid the feel is good witjout being anyting special nor harsh u dont notice them which i think is perfect from links in massive m wind to hid rokyo in augusr when the only breath is ur own these play really well helps that they look really good as well yea overall these my tops

Shafted up my 6 iron yamaha 2006 tour on thurs and took this to the game yesterday to direct compare with the ns ora x flex the monaco was the stiff shaft not x than the lord i chose these bec they are easily strong enough for most folk and for me thet were perfect. The flight is low a lot lower that the ns but its got a kick in the tail the ball shoots low straight then at its apex it kind of kicks up not dissimilar to the ns orange but in a much better way its not a dramatic kick the balll just looks like it gets backspin170 yards from whereu hit it the result of this is the ball drops dead i mean just sits still its like u walked out and putthe ball on the ground personallly i absolutely loved it. ill tellu right nownthese are going sftriaght into the rest of the set to be used as a cavity set the tt harshness wasnt nearly as aparent inthese putting that down to stiff flexnot x x. Ithink wont suit mant peops at all the feel is similar to the ns blue i felt i can go hard as ilike not a worry these are laterally challenged and like derek zoolander def NOT an ambi turner. The look of them is amazing light bronzed chrome in a steel head they look absolutely mustard and with an orange iomic x evolution grip these are just so money ill wai till i hit some more with them to see go they will go in low launching heads for sure. with the endo forged yammys they were an absolute delight i loved them i don t think wind nor rain will detract from the way these . the flight in higher launching heads like the yams was perfect i jsut loved it ,my mate whos not as strong as I didnt like them as much thought them boardy but i hit 50 balls with it and i dont think so one bit and i absolutely hate x100s and dg200s they are planks of golfing spam, these are the direct opposite. If ur after a set of different shafts id jump on these as there aint a lot out there and seeing as im a total jdm ho this is a huge surprise a pleasant surprise two thumbs up to tt for coming out with something that are joy to hit and perform like they do long may in continue and pressure everyone to make better and better irons shafts these will get played a bit make no mistake .

Yep thats what i was lookimg for as well def a set coming ny way soon

i used to like the low piercing steel shats like the ns sp blues, still do i spose, but i got my mits on a cpl of sets of NS protos the ora and the f215s, and everything has changed. they launch high but not in a back spin way , they go straight up and just soar. and fall dead on the greens. i can not go back to the other ball flight any more even in hawaii wehn it was really blowy every day these just ruled. they hit the greens that are like cement and stick. the dispersion is fantiastically straight very hard to move about laterally they were paul caseys actual shafts. ( or so im assured) and he gives it a bit of a nudge . lord knows what hes gone to now if he pulled these! they were the precursor to the ns 1150 tours and all who've hit those pretty much havnt bad word to say about em. ive just picked up a set of True temper "monaco" shafts the ones darren clarke used to win the open with i have NO idea what to expect with those, but ilike the fact he smokes a stogie and guzzles guinness, so taking that into accoutn.............. im backing the shafts will suit me. they are going into my yamaha(yep u guessed it) 2006 tours

Lonfg hour doing. Something ive been doing for a long long time plus every fricken manifestation o everythimg jdm is no more than3 mins from my house it like leaving a match packet next to a pyro

The yonex got em huh being as yr the only guy i know ro have hit both of these im waiting baitrd breath for some impressions after u get to know them both a little better those yonex are the blades ive been eyeing off for7months but stil aint been able to find a demo anywhere. what do unreckon tHe shafts are closest to in feel flight performance mire like DG. Or higher more flighty like ns im sure these have my name on them eventually but inwhat thats the question

yea i remeber hitting one of them but not sure of which one it was , and i remember liking it a lot even with the stockshaft. lemme tell ya withte diamana in it its fantastic, even the 60s prob just on the cusp oftoo whippy bt the blals ihit were really good.consistantlty down the middle with a draw. cant knock that. yes if u find one lying around id def give it a whirl , both of us really enjoyed hitting it

my good buddy joey the fish is after a set of 502s if anyone islooking at parting with a set . pls let me know shafts preferd stiff shaft, def not x nor regular flex anyway if thats an issue we can discuss cheers chaps.

my mate juts bought a set of the 2010 bales recently, i hit them yesterday very nice indeed. they are alittle differnt to my kyoeis, differnt grind, very solid blade indeed. well worth looking at if ur a blade runner. they are pretty darn soft as well ,shafted with kbs tour. very knife like

picked up this with a diamana proto stinger 60 s yesteday, took it out to range at a course, proper balls proper conditions. played it against a callway ft 9 tour authentic --matrix tp6hd myself and playing partner hit about 30 ish balls with each driver. was a bit shocked by how much "better " the maruman was in comparison to the uber callway club fisrtly the callaway was short, very short , very low, dead feeling. and the ultimate let down in drivers iver hit. id say i t was 20 ish ayrds shorter then the maruman. the maruman is small compact 460 cc with a big face , not dissimilar to the cally , the look isnt that diffferenrt. the face to look at ata ddress has a cirlce target from the milling lines, (love that look!) its an elongated round face like the ryoma but much larger deep rounded body in 9.5* that delivers a veyr solid thump on a mid trajectory that also gets a lot of roll. its a beautiful looking head framing tghe ball, big face, but not like the (crazy 460, more like the epon 101) looks like it has a slight heel tilt to instill an ever so closed to flat look and a draw bias in yr mind. needles to say, i hit decent draws with it all arvo. i was looking at gettign a lighte drive all round , just to give me a differnt take o nthe 330gram monsters ive been building recently. this just popped up and i thought why not. why not indeed. i will be gaming this next weekend. very impressed with it did exactly what i wanted this type of driver to do, and i found it a lot more versatile than all my current drivers except the epon 101, which juts keeps gettign better and better. Tario whast the scoop o n this thing ,any goss on it out there?

+1 BUT if they aint available........, ns sp blue for u mr D hard stepped X

its really low spin and low launch. very hard to work the ball its very long. one of the longest ive hit lots of roll. ur not going to hit effortless soring bombs withte 450, but u wll with the 460 oh yes indeed uwill. the450 sets up prertty well as well at address its a bit more rounded than the 435, looks a bit more user friendly than the 435 as well. ill play this driver in big wind no probs. of with a slightyl lower lighter shaft .

NS1150 tour NS super peening blue shimada KS tour 120 th superpeening are super tight and low.prob closest to Dg x100 the 1150 are tight but high the shiamada are mid and workable. think u might find these a bit too theatrical at yr ss tho.

i dont know if anyone has hit the akira irons yet , but i played around with a 7 iron the other day , didnt hit it. and the lines on it look really really good., good enought for me to consider. im asking my guy if he can get me a demo club, bec i liked the look a lot. the ones that are featured on the front of the TSG site home page. just some food for thought this morning i took all the 7 iorns from my sets 2006 yamah tour 2008 yamah tour- 2010 yamaha tour 2011 yamah tour (can usee a trend here yet?) fourteen tc 1000 zone sprout proto 001 miuraism sb-01 miuraism sb-02 epon 302 tourstage 901 kyoei v muscle prgr md900 prgr data 811 theya re all shafted with differnt shafts. and yes the choice of steel makes a monumental differnce , HUMONGOUS...! i was eliminating clubs accoring to feel only. nothing to do with perfornace today. iwas just seeing how good each club felt side by side the 2008 yamaha tours were my favs followed by controverisally.............. the fourteen tc1000s. with ns 950 stiff . absolutely sensational feeling clubs ,stock too aint changed a thing about them goes to show what endo forging is like, if u like it i sugest you stick to it . for me , the differnce is pretty clear. btw the zonesprgr data 811s were the easiest to hit and the 901s the most difficult. but also the most lethal to hit at targets/flags. , even more so than the miuras which surprised me a lot. its just the shape of these 901s that doenst suit my eye unfortuantly, or id be hard pressed keeping them outta the oz bag! if ur after a set of beautful blades then the af tours are really hard to pass up plus they are so easy to play only thing ifind is they tend to go high which might not suit you, hence ireccod the ns sp blue, thatll keep em in check. the yamaha tours arnt the lowest launching clubs , but boy they are just so incredible to hit, more sloid thant the 302 ,but same endo feel. they arnt that unfogiving , they dont lok like shovels nor matchstick heads. good solid shape nad size. the ones i shafted with te NS oras i n stiff, i just cant pass up. the fourteen tc 1000 are quite low launching even with the ns 950s same as the prgr md900 what ever the new fourteen endo forged model is ,or pgrgr must be in yr considerations id think after what i hit htis morn. but then agn the yamaha......................., just win.

sheeesh, u gotta stick the yamaha v and royal colls in that lsit too. roy coll make the most all round colection of few out there. somehting for everyone ,and they all seem to have the same feel

yes top heads. ive had them and they were top notch.

the yamaha non tour have bit of offest. i nthem, more than the tour variety , and they will have that great endo feel. older set but still available prgr 900md have some off set to them they are absolutely superb sticks slightly larger head than blades , but in blade esque stlye fourteen tc 1000 for ma cpl of years ago aswell. small sole small of set. endo forged, super clubs.

i think ull like it but for ur ss id DEF tip it a wee bit

fisrt i palyed it in the epon 102 and i loved it its a bit higher than the fire express and a bit tighter . its a more glassy feel that the FE whichi find sticks to the face longer and slings off. the proto is more "dynamic" bounces off quicker. i pl;ay the 75xs which ithink is prefect flex for me in this shaft. although a few other guys seem to think its stil la bit softer than stated. i didnt find that. its a good combo i n the epon 102 as well ,they fit together perfectly ithink.

Ive got thep09003x thats. Really really good only rhimg that lacks is feel performance is right at the very top . The more i hir this shaft rhe more i realise hiw good itis

i played my 2 drivers at 44 and 43.5 in hawaii and hit a lot of fairways , just not as long as with the 45 thast for sure but yes it gets on the short stuff more this might be prelude to more to come espo as i absolutly kill that kasco 43.5 inch fairway driver i have i never miss with that thing and i cna get it out to 270ish

jsut get a set of what ever u like and send em to golds for the ultimate grind. the yamahas might be destined for that process. a super aggressive smile grind on those?? oh yea.

i can think of a place... my yamaha tours!

ah these are old but if u can source them the tourstage x blades 'maruyama" i think they were out in 2006 -2007 ive a set they are still yen 25,ooo a per club used in good order. i reshafted those with ns 1050 xx tour shafts and they really bite hard i used them exclusively at turtle bay for a week, they are superb. not everyoine cup of tea with the shape tho. but if u like that shape ,then oh yea....,
