  1. oh boy.............., ive just gone and done it again. id had this head sitting abandoned, shaftless, listless and unhappy for a while. it was originally shafted with a stinger 60s, but i didnt like it, it ddnt suit , too pingy and light , so it must have been the head, bec i know htis shaft and its a beauty. so i abandoned it. like a rabid dog. till last night...................., i was at nakajimas getting some goodies adjusted and isaid what do i do about this , its a , wait for it. yen 68,000 head, thast the same as epon,! it sits next to the epon, so naturally it got my curiosity up.i bought it and it just didnt do it. he said look try this experiment put the 70x in it instead if it doent work well sell it for you, they go like hot potatoes to the underground driver crowd so i go sure why not nothing to loose. at the range last night hitting the best balls ive ever hit ,,,,,,the most consistant sesion ive had found my iron paly agn found my swing flaw and , well alst night i t was 100% cured. so i took this driver out for a run at 445.5 i was a bit iffy on it , thought it oo short , till i hit the screws on my first 10 shots and it split the netting in the middle of the range! wow baby......, this is NOTHING like the same club i abandoned that extra weight tighter torque and shorter length made this a totally differnt driver. i did some more research on this littel number and its......... assembled IN CHINA.............................! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..................... sac re bleu! the designer is rated no2 in japan ,behind the king at fourteen and prgr. he was the lead guy at dunlop for a long time i beleive. so his vintage is well , its gotta be ok. this is his own baby. just a beautiful looking driver head , nice head weight placement great balance very classic design why they made this in china im trying to find out but its a tthe same factory as calaway and taylor made , so my guy assures me its the bomb. all ican say is ,im gaming it this weekend to see how if it goes like it did last night , if it does, then i gotta problem!
  2. those shafts what does that equate to in steel shaft speak?
  3. theres a honma shop near my office. honma only fitting shafts the whle shebang i pass it everytime igo th e bar to discuss the problems of the world. stop in have a peek inside most nights. they have a cpl of sets of gold clubs under lock and key and im sure hte shachos around town buy them everything i see in there doenst look good for golf, it looks good for trophy. imsure honma arnt making clubs for "golfers" the exception to this is hte driver i hit at the tokyo show was good! and that shaft the stock armq was good. the irons ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh fagettabarrrrrrrrrrrtit
  4. good stuff. ive gone a similar path to you, repalcing my egg withte roycoll 304p and a yamaha v both i think are more versatile than the egg, but i still think the egg is the longest out there tho roy coll has the a fantastic feeling plus workability is second to none still got my older bbd type h as welll. mine are shafted withthe crazy 80 fw and that suits just perfectly. that p9003x is a sensational shaft, u didnt tip it to play in fw did u? i would think it wold struggle to get airborn . brilliant set up you got there.
  5. Ohhhhhhhh they are the only thing from tm id hit they are money my mates got these they are beautiful! If only i didnt have 675544566 sets of irons theyd be mine
  6. when that thing out? i havnt seen it yet
  7. the yrururi egg is good as wel, spins a lot moe than the meijin , got one permantnly in oz for the fluffy bunkes, makes a big differnce down there.
  8. to put one of these in a bag. play driver 3w 5w 22* ute 5-6-7-8-9-pw 52* 58* super-chipper putter. or drop a wood and throw in a 4 iron.?
  9. well, thats this afternoons kindle order sorted. now i just need to go to the rangetonight with my new toys and practice "strong off the left side" alll night till i get this fricken bug outta my system. and return to winning ways, this wekeend was NOT good for the bank balance, the stig cleaned me out big time. my newset toy is a coach.
  10. ithink so .., i get the idea ,yea..., i have a diablo piece of gfl SPAMM driver at homw that spins like mad, but boy it goes straight, juts goes straight no where. i reckon i hit this thing better than every driver ive ever hit but 20yards less and high, never done a test on a LM with hit but i bet its monster high i actually like to play this at a cpl of courses that arent long , but bruatlly hard, like pete dyes and muirheads designs. jsut swing and it goes somewhere down the middle not very far, just feels shiiiiiiiiiity, light, cheap and looks horrid, but it works! the control im getting with te ryoma and the nior shaft is quite eye opening for me. regardless fo my swing im getting great small draws pretty much every shot. theres something to be said for just hitting this shaft bec it suits my profile so well. but that would spoil allllllllllllllllllllllll the fun....................,
  11. this 901 head........., i have in my zone sprout protos, and the j beam do thier cavity with as well very popular mould , great looking and beautiful to play. very easy to hit but with a bit of "playability" the grind is the big thing on this head, the sole here looks smaller than on my prtos. really nice feel. the wedges are a very versatile grind. very good off hard pan ground and great rom abunker to hit offf the toe. design i think is beaiutiful, simple and classy.
  12. sheeeeesh.. my buddy pointed out that the TM driver and the callaway i hit with all the shafts gave me really high spin numbers on the ball dont ask me what thety were, but he noticed it and said hang on this is way higher than what is good for me. or what id been hitting previously i got the feeling that the higher the ball spin rate , the higher the shot went , and the less distance it went. and straighter i hit it consistantly when i hit a low spin shaft the overall distance is much better , but the higher spinning clubs i seem to hit straighter. oh and he triangle shaped or taperd back clubs like the TM burner, TM tp burner callway thing i hit that day al lseem to go shorter and straighter for me. ant does this sound right or normal?
  13. hey........! check these out bunker meijin............................. i have 2 of these 60* and 70* for those i just need to make sure if i get in trouble days. from fluffybunkers they are unmatchabe, the ball doesnt spin it just pops out and rolls from thick grass, nothing in same league. ugliest looking clubs ever ,BUT sooooooooooo efective. the eggs will do same thing i guess.
  14. well blind freddy has less troubles seeing and hitting the ball than i at the moment. they are great looking sticks. thin sole beautiful design never palyed a mizzy before, il try ANYYTHING at the moment tho. might swap him for another of my sets. like to have these in the stable . that will make my iorn collection pretty complete.
  15. ooooooooh boy i want that head..., the r11 i hit with about 4 shafts i think longest i went was 270 and middled it perfectl y every time. great looking the white hting i like the triangle i like but no way am i giving up 20 30 yards on a drive. ot any more.
  16. hadnt been looking at all . just hit these reaally well on the range. the feel of them is great the lines on them are terrific. my iron play has gone to he dogs completley. im going for lesson tonight need to get back on track. def no more clubs till i get my head back in order. the woods are terrific and the wedges are great just anything from 3-8 has gone bibi..! only thingi can hit rght mow is the pr-gr egg rions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  17. are these a US model or something? my mate has a set i hit them yesterday, totaly worng shafts DG s300 SL but the feel of the face and the look of them is sensational. bautiful irons im very tempted...............,
  18. i had a hit with one in a 5 iron ast week nad i thought itwas beautiful weight was same as the ns sp only hit to a net so didnt se the result but the feel ts just terrific
  19. ive been waiting for this test result looks like its a pretty close result huh? i tink i agree the j beam is the long ball lama after 2 games thkis weekend with thr ryoma today and beam yesterday i think th beam takes the cake . the ryoma is prob more consistant for me but the jbeam out the screws is big. launches low huh told ya 10* would be no probs what weight did it come out?
  20. thats impossible! but atm..., ryoma and epon quadra proto
  21. the tour models def dont! the new s series seem straighter than the m they are all pretty high launching it seems
  22. jeff i think the tj 46s shaft is the longest of them all. they are virtuall sanp hook proof, which is why they suit that crazy head so well. plus the crazy is def a flex stiffer than the quadra. as much as i like to swapadn change shafts im not gonna touch the ryoma its perfect as is 321 x d1.5 x 45 taking a yamaha tour stinger out today to play in unison see how this stacks up agn, havnt hit this in a while such a waste!
  23. at the range today on grass. comabtants were.. jbeam 435---crazy tj-46 srixon z\tr tour--- miyazaki kusala epon 102 crazy 80ls 2 epon 102 quadra proto ryoma--crazy 80 noir Tm r11 white thing some crapola stock piece of spam shaft . on off 2011 --roddio si6 s cpl more but these wre hit the most for compariosn i gamed the jbeam crazy bec i was hitting that the most consistant b4 the match, good decision bec on course i was killing it missed a cpl right which is to be expected with tis set up unless u get the hands completely thru on it it loves the right side, so for me it makes me really think about turin the hands over. hit a cpl of giant shots, really long monsters. its super straight , low and rolls a ton, the shaft was a tad too soft it was the 7.2 or s shft, i like the feel of the 7.7 better, and yes you cna rally feel the differnce. thsi driver is 314 x d2 x 46 inch really liking the jbeams , really good heads. the epons are the best feeling for sure, both those shafts are top class in this head. nothing else need apply in these heads. these suit perfectly perfect flight for me gets some good carry with good roll, no where near as low as the jbeam , utterly sensational clubs the new 2011 srixon tour 425 miayaki kusala combo.............. hmm def a proper tour style head rounded, deep and workable. about a billion times better than last yrs one, the tour is a seriosuly good piece. that shaft is avery good feeling shaft, i know absolutely about it but its very stiff and pingy, something likea tour palyer would like id imagine, not gretafeeling, not bad just like what a good player would expect. def on the stiff side of S, not to be toyed with. distance was good. on off 2011 , real surprise, they amde this lot more rounded , fuller and deeper than thier previous models and thsi is by far and away the best onoff to date. thsi combo is a LOT lower than the other models and super easy to hit. beautiful draws all day my partner was getting 10 odd yrds more than ususal. we were all pleassantly surprised. beautiful sound as well very whaaaaatinnnnnnnnng... and good ball flight looks like daiwa had done a lot of homework last yr to get this up to date. superb club! TM driver spam..., no clue what this is r11 with a gold bottom triangle that makes the club go open closed square with a white body. i HATE tm and all thier 70 new drivers per month BUT ihave to fess up this triangle thing is good, one of my all time best ever drivers is the burner TP. that thing was just so straight and short. this is like a new version ofthat club the shaft tho is a piece of spam on this , no idea what was in it a stock thing felt hideous but after 10 shots with this , and that was 9 more than i expected to hit ..., after 1 i went hang on a tic...............,let me hit some more. i shot 10 dead straight down the pipes about 20 odd yards shorter then the other top JDMS, but none the less 100% of these went dead staright i love the look of the trianlge shape driver and the whitehead is bloody good. i hate that i like this driver, i hate that fact , but fact is fact and this was the most consistant staright shooter of the day just 20 odd behind the rest, hey if thats yr thing then this is perfect, its not mine. but if i fall apart ill be running for one to regain confidence in a millisecond.......... its all carry no roll what so ever. ryoma v spec .. longest, draw ball every shot. great feeling, mid low flight. ididnt game this purposely today bec id gamed it 3 times in row with superb results and i wanted to see how the others go agianst it . well. i gotta say after todays game and bout another 200 odd shots on the range ill say thsi is my best driver. the draw bias shaft might be the reason but its just so noticeabe my confidence with this in hand is better than everything esle. i cant ignore it anymore. stil think the others feel better but over all this is my new NO 1. that noir shaft is just the best suited shaft for me, beautiful small draw. its back in the bag tomorrow......!
  24. well..., what aday..., the stig nad i took 12 drivers about the same 3 woods and a heap of other woods and utes hit a ton b4 the match and ton after it my shoulders bloody killing me. the e 2009 shingospec shafted egg at 279 cpm and 328 grams 3 wood was a BEAST.....! its preopsterouly long, much longer than my new model egg with the crazy 80 fw and its like an elecrtic eel the feeling is that alive! i bagged it and hit a cpl of superb shots. got it turn over nicely and was wow..! no idea where ill play thiis tho. im thinking its going back to oz its low too the high launch of the egg has been muted with this shaft it wil run like cath freeman. the new egg in comparison was way way higher. that other 5 wood also was a beast it reminds me of the tour edge exotics, big face suoer long 5 wood. i hitthis against my yamaha^stinger x to see how it went nad the on off was just a cannon, with that tour proto shaft.was smahing it. distance prob the same , but the stinger shaft is just so tightits rediculous. the onn off was easyier to move around but i liked that yamaha better easier to hit not sure what im gonna do withthese fairways i just bought them bec shingo had them made. kinda collector i guess, not every day u get to get a good palyers actual clubs. they are bulletts but i like the yamahas better.
