  6. morning fellAS well another nteresting night.. non stop shocks and sways but mercifully nothing that made us get up was a night of intereupted sleep and concern over how fast we could get downstairs in need be. still w a huge waarning for tsunami over the whole counrty but after the big shock yesteday sways that wewere getting last night felt like going over a speeed bump in a 4wd. not sure what were going to do now. bec golf is off......! my house seeemd to handle the pressure cooker pretty well so well have a look around it make sure nothings broken poor sendai doesnt seem to exist anymore. they said it as a one in 1000 yrs shock. pls god let that be true!

  8. ive been thinking where the hell i can go theres NO high ground in a basin like tokyo. my wifes friend just rolled in the door she was in shinagwa which might be below water level its that flat she lives in kamakura on the beach and that is one palce u dont wanna be right now. looks like shell be here for a few days. bloody golfs off tomorrow!!!!! i was all set to kick some butt! hope the courses are ok as well. japaanese people are so pragmatic. theres no panic just an alert sense of inevitability. everone just does what they are told and accepts thier fate u shud see it , my wife was under the table when i got home luckily i was on the scooter when the 2nd big one hit so i just felt small sway and was watching all the tellegraph lines shake, its still going on right now this is no .40 today i think right now another biggy. ah im over this! theres absolutley NOTHING at all u can do zilch there was no panic when it struck i was on 4th floor of 40 story bldg built reccently and its erathquake proofed nad it felt like bambi on ice. everyone was just pouring outt he bldg. there was nothing like it nothing i can put a piccy in yr mind. pls just let it stop soon but after this size pretty sure these will go on for a long time. might be a case of sayonara japan im too old to cope withth e stress of this. my wife and her friend are hoing into cheeese and red wine and im sitting here hoping the ground stops moving! anyone wanna swap places pls ?????

    well big range session took a heap of 7 irons alldiffernt shafts. kbs tour s , dgs200, ns 950 s , ns super peening blue, sp orange ,ns 1050x, trying to ignore the head and concentrating on the shaft only. i think now i have a very good mental piccy of how these all play. the super peening blue was the lowest and most solid ,but with a good feel. the orange was a bit higher and easier to launch the 1050 x was very tight high launching and stiff the kbs was muted and rubbery the dg was solid but harsh the modus 114 stiff i was playing actually., very tight, high launching and dropped out on the target, completely differnt to what i thought it was going to be. greta dispersion and for a lighter shaft it was superb. it was in the epon af tour head and know this head really well. and i had another with the kbs tour so went head to head on those for a while the kbs is lower heavier muted and longer the modus was tighter a lot more of the lovely NS feel , higher flight and more workable u get a brilliant repsonse to your shots immediatly. the mid section seems to stay rigid when you punch hard and doesnt do that snap thing like a kick straightening. its like the butt is soft then the mid is dead straight and the tip just softer than the mid. when i had a big old swoooooooosh at acpl it held in beautifully. but whoa there its a high shot! really really high the over all feel and performance were sensational. i loved it , ill get the x flex or tour x in these to bring that flight down a bit will def get A set and they will be in my other irons that are in the mix. first thought were a fabulous iron but i want to try a tighter flex FIRST. the super peenings arnt in any danger against these at this flex for me but , i think the x flex will def get a go. if you play lighter shafts these are seriosuly good. better than anything else ive hit . i cant wait to try the heavier 126 gram. really really nice shaft to hit. i imagine ill have these in set very soon .

    Got my hands on a 7 iron epon af tour with the modus 3 120 shaft in it at lunch time. had a quick blast in the nets and first impressions were tremendous. was also hitting a fourteen dg s200 and a p tune ns 1050 s my initial thoughts were the modus is tight ,lively very much like thier WV wedge series. very impresed for the 20 odd balls i hit. tonight at the range i get to hit a gamut of 7 irons with all and sundry to see what best suits this seesm pretty good tho....., is certialy not as dull as the DG and similar ot the 1050 but def tighter and more rigid report later............,

  24. Sheeeeeesh thats an eye opener if its yahoo jp there will be hell to pay! The econy might fail.
  25. the 14 are endo forged i spoke to the 14 guy at the show . these are thier only irons done by endo the rest is done in china they look really good. they look really easy def not a huge sole. i like this aboutthte foruteen gear even tho they are cavity they keep a small sole and thicker topline suits nicely. my tc1000s im re instating as my cavities bec they are simply so easy to hit. and pls for the love of GOD....
