supo

i have been using differnt eggs in differnt styles for utility purposes ufor the last 6 months ive got 4 nad 5 irons from a set of irons and used different shafts to try and make a ute. ive tried the 22* 9 wood with a ns 950 FW steel shaft ,which is rediculously straight , and it s high launching they all tend to go a little far for what i want basically 200+ yard par 3s . but i finally nailed it with the 5iron (22*) iron and a NS 1050 s 4 iron shaft. this i can now bend round trees, hit low piercing draw "stingers" 220+ or massive high teed up slice cuts 180 that land verticle. its that versatile. the trick was the shaft...., i game this club everytime now and ive made another in the 4 iron thats 21* but so much lower and longer. the egg irons are the most incredible feeling iron ive ever hit. no idea what they are made of but it AINT s20c steel im guessing........... wow i just checked they ARE in fact s20c fored at endo. doh! the mew model looks really playable im not kidding i would seriously look at playing these in 4-5-6 nad my kyoeis in the scoring irons they are that easy to hit so much so, that in considering doing this . the new sole is 1/2 the thickness what the older ones are. they arnt cheap tho. im a hoooooooooooooooooooooooge pr-gr fan and esp of the eggs., for the right course and conditions i love them. that shingo katayama club i picked up a cpl of weeks ago is easily the longest fw ive hit , and by so far its quite alarming. thats going back home to use in oz. if u can find a 5 iron head in the egg id seriosuly recomend playing this as a ute, its terrific. ill post a piccy of mine on the weekend to check out.

especially with many JDM irons sporting very strong lofts. What this does is leave huge gaps when your PW is say 44* which mine is. wow...............................!! that is news to me. wholly schmokes 44* PW.. thats not a pw thats a 8/12 iron! what ,, why,,who,, is doing that so a 5 iro is like 22* or something? i must be living in the dark ages, my PW is 48* or at a huge stretch 47* seriosuly this has prob been touched on a bilin times but i havnt read it. why????????????????? is it to take the 3-4 out of play i guess?

nagano???? goody i can pick them up persoanlly...!!!

this is it.... do u remmebe the specs of hte one i hit at the show, what shaft ? gotta get this it was a joy to hit.

the tj 46 i have is for bombing dead straight. doenst wanna move or get in the air ive found its my wind buster! the 80s are low but nothing like the tj and totally differnt feeling the tj has to be the lowest of all shafts ive treid.

i cant think past the NS super peenings, really. if u like to feel the ball more than just hit at an inanimate projectile like i do , these are so hard to beat. 150m 7 iron is about me as well ,but im 5-11 and like a bit more ease, so id say u could smoke a the NS sp blues.in stiff. or a soft steped x even. dont ask me about DG i hate them. they feel like railway tracks that have been hollowed out .but 90% of the worlds golfers would disagree. most vehemently ...., the "peening "process is where the shafts have been bombardedwith lots of ballbearings to harden up the steel and make it more dense and taught . i was told by the man at NS stand at the tokyo show," hmmmmmmmmm so desu ne ......," i i had to nod in agreement. hence its a bit more solid than the tour versions of the 950 1050 1150 range. Spoon will be able to ad a lot more about the differnces hes hit everything there is and goodsie could chime in here hes the craftsman when it come to makining clubs my recco would be NS sp blue , pm goodsie seriously, he knows way better than i.

the hard stepping idea came of course form the iron shaft master Carlo spoon.

yes exactly....., i have many many sets of irons and ive tried loads of differnt styles. but ive gravitated to the NS sps bec they ae firstly so tight and secondly with feel! i have tendency to try and hit too hard with long irons esp with the harder flexed shafts it was killing my desire to play 3 and 4 irons, and on my course back home i need to be able to play these or my score suffers. so ive been working really hard on 3-4-5 irons at t the range , i always hit a lot of those irons to get them wired, and i found without a doubt that the slightly higher launching shafts suited my consistancy MUCH better than hitting SP blues, not being a automatron ball striker , ill take ALL the hlep i can get.... so i worked out that i hit so much more consistantly with a a tight shaft like the NS 1050 X which is stiff but light. or a higher laucnhing mid kick one in heavier weight. my tempo stays pure if i subconsciously know i dont have to muscle the ball to get it airborne. esp on my home track which is short and many irons are required form tees a lot of the time and esp when it blows like a pornstar. so i said ilove he feeling of the NS 1050 x shafts love them, but, they DO go very high, and they are light. so i thought ilove t he set of yururi flatbacks i have with a set of sst pured NS SP orange and ilove my set of kyoei NS sp blue so i melded the idea to play like i explained above .

3-4-5-6-7 hard stepped once in orange 8-9-pw in blue hard steppedd in stiff.

Mizzys softer feel then endo in general? idont know the naswer to that ive only hit the mp68s they were very soft yes, but EPON ithink are the softer . the af-tours blades are just crazy easy soft to hit. i dont see anything or i cetianly havnt hit anyting softer and easier in blades, not even close.

exactly............!!!, my lastest discoery is how much the shaft makes a differnce in EVERY way to the heads i used ot just think steel was steel, but no way ! the longer the iron u go dwn the more it makes a differnce in ease to hit and the higher u go up the more precise they go depending on shaft choice. after trying so many i found iliked the feel and ease of the softer NS models but neded the sterness of the x flex in the short irons a DG shaft feels totally differnt than a NS in the same heads trial and error made me find my optimum at the moment ,which is combo of both soft fel for long irons and low hard for the scoring ones. i went NS super peening orange and blue combo to achieve this . it really makes a huge differnce, more so than differnt s head types i beleive. ths shaft IS the engine room. make no msitake..............,

chris.........................................................., feel wise. endo are the softest forgring. miura are either realy soft i nthe uber top end or more solid in thier mid range kyoei solid and dense with great feel. mizzys soft and the most divverse range of options kyoei make tons of open moulds. ive been cosndiering the copper option for a while but keep chickening out.

hahahahahahahaaha all in the eye of the behlolder. they are most definatley the top foundry for soft feel clubs others are good , but it seems endo forged produxcts just come out superb time and again. difficult not to go for an endo forged product really........., but if u like a more solid impact then theres plenty of o thers to consider. ilike both have a lot ofdiffernt forgings endo kinda wins tho.............,

did some one say ................... drivers????????

gotta game them , this weekend hit a heap of balls but havnt ogt em wired yet, this weekend no cashla on thel ine so perfect op to tyr em out , thye do freak me out!

sorry what the hell is this????????? some co. in hng kong has copied TSG to the skin colur???

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.

hahahahahah nope. ill completely ruin them.

u mean an angle grinder , sandpaper and steelwool and led tpae wont work?

oh yea.., custom grind is something in particular i need, love to see how the whole process works in person as well. that would be terrific.

yup, but it must be made up no head only

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..........,

offending weaponry ,amking its way to oz for links golf..!

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
