    yes indeed, the top line is likw, wow, compared to the yururi flatbacks pictured which i thought must be the smallest things around they are loads smaller and thinner. and the fourten tc1000 which by normal wstandards is a small head ,well it looks like a game improvement iron. if thins ur thing, then these are the ones.

    So............, ive been patiently waiting and deliberating on these for a cpl of yrs. my buddy just let his set go to buy a new set after hitting them so well for a long time. his new set arethe sb01s with NS orange. these will be INCREDIBLE...! so i got a set of sb-02 1* flat, ripped out the DG s300 SL shafts, which actually go pefectly well ,but they were too light. and i found mysef swinging thru the ball to quickly and loosing my tempo. so i took these out yesterday and hit a load of balls. the topline really is quite dauntng to look at at first,the sole very thin but the overall shape is juts lovely. bit of roundedness bit of squareness, i lke it. my yururis have a thin top line but these are really thin, they are lot thinner than the 1957s that the american market gets.a bit longer in the body and just a slightly bigger all round face. the feel is ,well. its miura at his best. if ur a miura fan then these will make u smile. they are a lot softer than the cb1006 , which i love btw.., they frame the ball well. and the sweet spot is just joyous. off centre they are NOT that terrible, theres no pain shooting up yr left arm when u thin one. and u can work these just wonderfully. they are most def NOT for hiting a long way they are most definatly for target practice. and without a doubt........., the greatest designed PW ever made.... theres a distinct possibility id get another one of these PW to use in every set of iron i play., this thing is just the nuts.........., over all where do they sit. well for softness ,the EPON is softer. for looks they win. for playability for a good player they are hard to beat. i can not wait to take these to Australia in 2 weeks for some play. see if i cant get them wired properly after 2 weeks of solid play huh..........,

    the jbeam for sure thast the lowest wind buster there is. this one is totally differnt ,bec of the shaft. i think its prob a littele on the shorter side over all but it looks good i n the hands. i prefer the jbeam, but this exact set up is good. id like skipper to give this a whirl see what he thnks ,bec i actually think its too stout for me.

    in the same breath as the SP orange which i like better then the blues bec they launch a littel higher. the sp blue ill use on links bec the dispersion on these is DEF the tightest. the ks are an easier to hit shaft cant split them ,but he SP are tighter for sure. the ks better feeling happy with both, cant see myself changing form these at all

    gamed this yesterday at my home course which is tight liike a tiger. no bad drives here or ur dead. small draws the most favourable shot for the best position. distance..........., very good ,i wasnt getting this pure for most of the day, i was hitting it high on the face, mostly in the middle of the club so direction was good all day but the loss of overall diatnce considering was very acceptable. the shots i got out of the screws were as long as anything else ive hit , there was no discernable differnce, i know this course so i know exactly where the ball ands up. and this driver was right on the mark. feel........., well, this is the biggest differnce in my usual prefered drivers. its super solid and hard in the face. the ball "tongs" not "wooooooooooshes" there is instant feedback to where uve hit the ball on the face. its a litle weird to get used to bec the feling of the epon nad co are so soft and homely, this is the exact opposite. for the first time i got to play the stinger shaft in a head that highlights the shafts properties and oh boy,is this thing taught! the shaft is probably too taught for me , playing at 44.5 inst ideal either, i like the 45 inch length best and i still grip down and try and turn it over, even at 44.5 when i did this it was hard to do, and i had the weights set to draw bias., look........., at address its a very confidence inspiring head. doesnt look like its a "hammer time" driver ,more of a placement tool , but the distance results are good. could always see a shape when i needed it ,and usually hit to that spot , small draws most of the day over all i liked this driver, its not he biggest badest dog on the block, nor is it a pussycat. its a good easy to hit solid impact driver, my thoughts are ill bag this on windy days. or on links , where i can get t he ball to run a bit and i dont have to go super hard and try and hit the green type of swing. its got a place, somewhere in the rotation , id htink a slightly softer flex shaft would be better tho.

    played these yesterday very good feeling shaft normal launch, mid flight no ballooning at all , not worm burners and , dont have to try and hit the cover off the ball to get them to work. dispersion was good, and could move them about a bit nicely liked these a lot and will prefer them to the modus, better feeling for sure. they are very expensive! unfortunatly ............,the heads they are in didnt comply to instructions! but the shaft feel is terrific. highly recomended.
  14. piccys?

    what a great post. techical info and fantastic visuals those wedges look great \ ,there looks to me to be a consistancey in shape as well. the RC is fabulous looking i havnt seen that anywhere, im gona take a look around, i love the look of that one hope u kill it with them , thsoe kbs black shafts look terrific great build
  16. nope more like 700 i think
  17. haannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngon a tic..., this i looks like a holden ute body no? is this hs own made thing? if thats got a v10 in it thats the most rediculous hting ever i use to have a v6 holden ute and it needed sand bags over thback wheels to keep it form sinningof the road. whast hte body is it BMW ?
  18. forget the head cover.., yes its shiiiiiiiiiity and cheap get a DWD magnetic one they are the NUTS... forget the shafts look. its a crazy .its rocks concentrate on what happens when u hit this thing off centre which is what 99% of us mere mortals do and see where the ball ends up. im sure u will over look a cpl of the displeasing visual inadequacies you have mentioned. get range finder and mark off where the ball is. be very surprised if its not out there with most others uve ever hit. i hit a career shot on sunday with mine. never been anywhere near where the ball ended up no where close. i over came my what ifs that second forward...............,

    very good to know. i was thinking of these seriosuly for a ver y good set ive just got. i love the feel but i also found they went high and i hit the stiff. but just on a range. and only with the 7 iron epon af tour i did shaft a 4 iron prgr egg im using as a quasy utility with the modus 3 tour 120 x flex and havnt found anything ngative so far . in fact im likning the feel of it imensly , lower than the 1050 x in the other ive got. tighter as well. i ve been hitting the Ns super peening orange a bit lately and they are a bit high, but oh so tight no balloning on them and just the smallest bit workable. im prefering these to the SP blues in general, but in the wind ill use the blues. the tour x flex must be the go on these.

    welcome to JDM heaven..., there are so many choices ur head will spin. the 2 u mentioned are great , good u found those straight off, if u like one of those particularly, then no probs at all porblem solve instantly. the on offs are very very good sticks in fact they are up there at the top of the pile id say fellas? not going to "beat" their feel. most will feel pretty similar. just amtch the right shaft, NS anything suits those heads really well. if u like those then go them str8 away they are tops.
  21. only in the nets. came off really wel. lots of head speed and even i could turn it over liked it. yes it looks like a 3 wood
  22. supo replied to supo's post in a topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
    yea thats the one. really solid impact. doesnt feeel like theres any give. totally differnt style to yamaha and epon its more like ok point it there shoot it out there it lands, and it goes a really long was as well. yea iheard it came in the upper echelon for distance. but i think its more of a control driver rather than length differnt concpet underneath but it def works when u change the weights around. good looking club at address. i think i cud have even hit an akira straight last night tho . well see in the game my question to them at the trades show was how the hell do they get off charging the same for this as the epon when its made in china ??? this totally beffuddled me. if what i was told isnt the case then brrrrrrrr the price is way to high for these. still..., feels pretty darn good.
  23. thats the puppy im talking about! love this thing.

    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!
