i hit 2 utes today droppeed the 5 wood and hit the 19* yamaha d ut. shafted that with e NS 950 fw 5 wood shaft and it played really well!. the other is my egg5 iron i made into a ute and that im here to tell us is the success story of the yr so far! i was hitting par 3s form 185-215 with it either high fades or straight draws. swing super slow with it and just let the egg face do all the work. thta thing is staying in my bag for ever 22* im rotaing the 19* with a 5 wood tomorrow to compare th out comes but il tell ya that yamaha ute is a bloody beauty. going to see how i go tom b4 i change up the shaft bec the steel one was suited brilliantly.

nah, i just wanted to try cpl of differnt combos i know how the egg plays and i know the yamaha inside out the roy colls are ab it more workable the yamaha is a bomber. dying to try the old egg shingo , wholly schmokes this COULD potentially be my best ever. clue less till i hit it tho. u know i love rodddio stuff. im in the minority but it keeps getting better and better. i thought abt this whilst chatting to another member last night , and it dawned on me that i beleive rodddio coud be .........., about the best shaft s for swingers in the 95-105 range. i get a lot of bahumbugs on this but the proof is in the pudding..............., i say that bec both my golf pals use roddio exclsuively.........., in everything ........., and they have picked up 20 odd yards over the last 2 yrs maybe more. and they are bang in the + - 100 range 100 tops id say their top, top end f shats for harder swingers i think launch a little too high still but i aint hit the "tour proto" yet , which come tomorrow! and which im assured.................... is as good as all the big boys. well see.

Supo67's Honma Revolution Driver Session
supo replied to TourSpecGolfer's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
ahh yes sorry its techno composite the carbon comes form thast what i meant.. sorry game it nah i have a few too many im in love with if only ihad the girls like i do the drivers huh? the closest thing im thinking of is the fouteen driving iron thast a distinct probability -
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....., Goodsie , why didnt u post this 2 days ago!!!! i JUST pulled a DG s300 form my yamaha d ut 19* and replaced it with a NS fw 950s heres the thing these yamaha utes DONT take iron shafts they take wood shafts the hosel size is for FW shafts and i was contmplating putting my roddio tour proto shaft in it but thought thta was a waste of a shaft. after this i might do that tonight. the yamaha 19* for me goes really low , 240 ish no probs, its super solid beautiful feeling (even with that hidieous s300 thing in it) and from a bunker as you say its a no brainer def wont replace the 3 wood but its def an alternate on differnt tracks. i can see me using this and the 3 wood and ousting the 5 wood on occasions on long tracks. As for distance . my mate hit his titleist (not sure model , and , hes a beast, im telling u hes the biggest hitter ive ever seen by a county mile. ) from a fairway 13* ute with e V2 shaft 110 grams xx flex 285 ON THE FLY if the bunker bank wasnt there to stop it , it would have rocketed 3oo+ not a problem i fell over laughing i didnt think that was possible nor would have i believed it if i was told, but i saw it. iwas standing next to him whn he hit it. ( he did play on the US celebrity tour and hes the best golfer ive played with, and a monster) he hasnt had a 3 w in his bag for eons , now i know why.! Goodsie im gonna take ur advice here im shafting this puppy up with the roddio s7 proto 3 wood shaft..., this might open a whole new world up...........,

Supo67's Honma Revolution Driver Session
supo replied to TourSpecGolfer's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
yea that as the thing with this driver it was so easy to do the other s are fidgety and cumbersome this was just twist , ur done, that shaft was good too im pretty sure the armq shaft is made by qaudra, im ight be mistaken but im pretty sure it is. the head o nthis loks nothing special at al and with a stock shaft i gave it a real nudge i was very happy with it id play it for sure and i wasnt even wamred up really jerky and cold. all the new drivers are just so good nd easy to hit the shaft and that head angle changes system are the key to this club i think..., -
Its not every day u walk into a shop and the smiling girl behind the counter says. "ahhh Stewart- san............ chotto matte ne" (1 second) comes out from behind the counter and says " i have been keepingt hese for you, thought u might like." i naturally am taken aback and she produces shingo katayama made. for ....... onoff driver with 2010 shaft 2009 pr-gr egg with 2010 shingo spec shaft on off 5 wood with roddio s8 x" prototype tour" shaft 53-59 on off tour used wedges im gobsmacked as you can imagine. the driver my mate bought immediatly i took the 3w and 5 wood just beceause it was such a never to be repeated offer. but thewedges are well u gotta see em, the thickest wedge ive ever sen ths back has been welded to double thickness and ground like a dent sole. these were all made by the roddio guys for shingo best mate! aparently h knws the shop owner pretty well and sells hsi stuff there. now im the proud owner taking them to narita tomorrow to use in my match report on there performance seriosuly im dying to se how these go piccys to folow...........................,

supo replied to TourSpecGolfer's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
nah i dont think its out yet actually. im going to consider it for sure it was really nice. but im kinda long those resuces now with yamaha ,prgr eggs, and an adams but i cant dismiss how this felt nad played really. it was terrrific -
chris thats my club, you will love it, its a draw ball. it s long its gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood...!

hey welcome the forums, and very good stuff..., great piece. there is somehting about the crazy shafted clubs IMO that just seem to make the ball end up longer than most others. they are a bit trickier than most but when u get them wired they are worth every cent i reckon. that noir shaft is DEFINATLY a draw shaft bec im a pretty good slicer ,NO, thats wrong im a great slicer, and this shaft just goes left in such a nice way. as for just one driver in the arsneal this would be a definite contender in my book but i still think the epons got it covered over all. this has jumped up a peg tho for sure. top 3 , yea def top 3.................,

Well im back in Jp, aprehensive at first when we landed this am, heard another big shake occured yesyerday and another tsunami warning was issued and that the water in fukushima is and i quote ten million timesover accpetable........., no mention it was in the reactor seriouly WHAT A LOAD OF S.....T! Its perfectly ok here in tokyo, everyone is fine and the new shake want felt in tokyo if at all. Ive turned off the foreign run info services and if i ever meet a reporter form one of the american news wires theybetter start running bec they are nothing more than scaremongering vultures, absolute rubbish reporting! Not one guy over here that stayed had anything bad to report the news tells it like tokyo is "on the brink" the worst news is my favourite course in ibaraki old orchard is beat up and wont be playable for a month the ground cracked open ShEEEESh....! Us tokyoites are fine and dandy and i shud have come back days ago. Sure ur restricted to 2 bottles of water at a timebut all the lights are on and tokyo is hummingall be it somewhat more dimmer , everyone is so good about energy conservation and going about thier lives as normal i dont know whatplanet thise morons are on that are reporting but it isnt here, if id had the facts i would have been back ages ago. Helps when ur wifes brothrr makes x-ray machines for a job and he sends u an email stating the facts!!!!!! The north is in trouble and its still cold up therr but its sakura season right now and its absolutely beautiful in the. cApital as we speak. Lord knoews the.north needs our help the tokyo ice hockey team drove up to sendia last weekend with3 lories of supplies for the people always rely on the canadians when it gets tough. The country is rebuilding as we speak and e veryone believes they will fix that. Bloody leak! Cmon japan!!!!!

frank take it out and play it solo ,seriosuly.. i hit a heap of ball at the range to get used to the appearance of closed face and now i dont even think about it, only played 2 games at sentosa and orchid nad hit my driver as good as i ever have. put ur trust in it u wont be let down
-
idont think ive seen these anywhere id rem that design for sure they could be one of these small house brands that exist all over the place. another being science gear made in taiwan and designed in tokyo with*sticky metal* good enough stuff but no resale what so ever ur stuck witthese if uchange ur mind
-
ive tipped a cpl of my fire expreses for use as faiway woods and its perfectly fine , it makes the ball flight lower and straighter and it doesnt really makethe shaft feel worse but i cant find out till nex tweek when iget back to tokyo if that affects the proto. il ask my clubbulder what he thinks.

oh boy ......................., ochid golf club in singapore this morning in a comp with my mates bit of coin on it, no mucking around top draw stuff. ryoma ~~cray 80 ls noir set up agn oh boy ..., well im now super confused. smashed the cover of it allday, played those tourstage yellow hard balls the ones idrive plays. not sure ofthe model name, but they are hard nad spin beautifully on the greens dont like the feel on the putter face but i certianly liked where they stopped all day! super ball! most def now my alternate taken over form the srixon as no2 nothing tho willl repalce the brills..., back to the driver have i said oh boy yet??? every driver had a draw that tok it form the right hand bunker to the middle ogf the fairway about 280 meters. ive got a bushnell range finder and i wa menatlly plotting the driver distance averagve about 270 meteres with te wind into it 250 aimed everything at the right touch line and most found the right fairway on rolled to centre. mid flight not low not high, no ballooning. not much roll bec the ground like marshmello over here. felt absolutely comfortable over every drive to repeat the same shot over and over went super hard at a cpl and laid low on a cpl didNOT turn over hook did not slice just straiggt with small draw the best fall flight on any driver ive ever used. and it hit about 10 drives like that . oh boy....., what to do.

seriously id have one of these floating about my all time easist drivers to hit and smoth are the on-off form 2009 the diablo the xxio adn this thing this feels the best by a way tho. good stick chaps good stick this spins a hell of a lot tho. so its vital to get the shaft fitted poperly , even more so than other heads with the right shaft t his is a hell of a fairway finder -
What is currently the hottest Japanese Driver head?
supo replied to Eca's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
feel wise epon over the ryoma...., yes when i got the middle of both of these the epon feels better and grabs my attention longer. nad ive only played one round with both the epon 102 proto and ryoma crazy that round i played with the epon was memorbale. i like the look of the head at adrress more as wel. both are top 5 drivers tho makes no odds just when i drive well id rather use the epon. and that my best shot day in day out. -
