in crazy? prob the tj 46 that sound about right T ? the crazy 80 and 50 are the best "feeling " distance low spin shafts ive hit. the tj 46 longest yard is like an elastic bullet. just keep going. not the best feeling of the crazys but results. pretty hard to top! the quadra is the best performer for price by a country mile. nothing in the same class, league ,hell not even in the same sport! the new proto is a differnt fish tho. a lot more like the crazy, tighter, more stingy, but stil hasnt got that tip to toe sensation that crazy manage to get. the proto is all tip all finger, its electric, the FE is a more rounded feel. the crazy is like ..................,well, a merceds 600. the only reason ican think of why the FE dont absolutley dominate that top end section is they DONT advertise anywere. im thinking this might be the same as why epon dont adverise , i presume its beceause they make everyone sheets so they dont want to step on toes of the OEMS, perhaps?? if u can find them , great ull find a fabulous shaft priced differntly to the oems and chaeper than the uber shafts. they did that REALLY well. ill cetianly be asking quadra-san this tomorow! they should be right on the door of no 1 seller (top end ) , if they advertised i have NO doubt they would go really close. shigeki maruyama gamed the FE not long ago, but to very little fanfare. and hes NOT a bad player . but i hardly heard a peep about it.

hmm .. perhaps ur right , i never see any of them hanging about in shop windows they get offerd a bit as upamrket shafts but never retail. pretty weird that i like em!

chaps question..............., i do manage to hit my fair share of sticks. im particularly partial to driver shafts. i think ive hit pretty much all the uber ranges. the obvious ones keep popping up quadra, crazy, GD, matrix, but i dont see lot of chat here about roddio. i have no diea why, these are firmly in my favourite shafts . they have a distinct bias either let or right and the tighter flex play as dynamic as any. is it bec no marketing by daiwa??? ive replaced a cpl of these recnetly and man they feel fantastic. the s7x s6x for the harder swingers are UP THERE cazaly! the 6wba and w6wa for more carry and distacne i think ull find it hard to beat for carry high ball drives . they just dont get noooooooooooooooooooooooo luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuv. pour quoi ?

sorry i missd this thread.., i think iahve a few things u might want o hear about 3 really top fairways, and if u wait till tom u wil see lsome piccys form tonights bombathon.

good job. long may you enjoy jdm.

[Now with Miura, god I hate to get into this because so many retail customers think they know the skinny... TADA mfg forges Miura golf clubs. It's funny another forum posted a youtube video called the Miura forging process. The video clearly show's TADA mfg. I do think Miura makes top quality product. Tolerance is tops due to spin welded hosels but spin welded hosels are dated and a very cheap way to adjust and keep specs stable. Saves a ton of money in tooling. aha........., i saw that. it created all sort of ruckus on wrx . guys were getting into fisticuffs hand over fist supporting or condeming it. why dont they just say hey our stuff is pressed over yonder? and get it out clean. i dont care , im only concerned with the finished product. so far all his irons ive hit have been pretty darn tasty. but as ive stated..., there many and varied that are as good better what ever. the kyoei guys are a funny lot, they get pretty stressed about orders.., gotta be communication breakdowns. im still lwaiting for my new 3 and 4 iron to match my supo set that i ordered over a month and a half ago! im sure when they finally do get here tho itll be worth the wait.

well ive never heard that....... and i play all those irons, and ill state the 2 Big forging houses ihome brand irons are every inch as good as mr miuras. not sure if id go so far as to say better or worse. in fact if u ask about u might find a prety humongous school of thought here that says contrary.! miura 1957s are very very sweet players design , being an incrediblly small head they are really surprisingly easy to hit. the miura giken range are japan models the 1957 s are US model the giken are slighly differnt shape and thickness to suit the japanese grass. they most certianly DO NOT look gross sitting in a bag on the back of a cart.... in fact they look MOST elegant indeed. if u see the type of palyers that bag the"isms" u might get wee bit humbled. in terms of playability epons feel best.. miuras are the most workable . kyoei most solid and direct point shoot. kyoei i tihnk are the best for distance control and into the wind THATS what i bag over everything. if u have a hit with my kyoeis u might earnstly disagree with whoever said that above.

Sub400 is punchy 425 i find to be the limit of my ability driver wise. There is a much more compact solid feel to a well struckhit with my tour heads but i love the safety feeling of the460s . Def the penetrating flight is great and ive found on windy days i prefer the smaller head for some reason i feel more confident, but on perfect days.....LET THE BIG DOG eat!

hhahahahaahah YES it most certianly does..! if u find it too stout ill swap u my stiff for it! . theres not much better than what you got there ptp. theres only equals.

def no balooning problem., 100% not. the quadra plays a lot tighter than the di6 in the same flex. if ur coming down from 75x shafts the 65 sx is DEFINATLY what u want not the S the quadras play pretty true to spec maybe slightly on the softer side i think the crazy play harder

Its a j beam im black no paint fill go to j beam tolyo website and hve a look its the 2nd one down. Its rare as rocking horse poo so u might have to wait a long time and T is prob the only way ull get one. I got ext remely lucky.

Pete rhat sringer is more pure than the driven snow u get a102 on it and yeeeeeeehaaaaaa. There is nithing softer its been pured i believe so the grip shud be in the right place.

the 425 tour ......,u can see it next to the 435. that thing i have just been getting better than everything. the 435 is so low, in JP i wont use it most weekeends . just on a few champ courses that unequivocably need to be straight. i can not move this one inch one way or another, the wind blows it left or right but not me, its just head over the pill, pull, shooot, phew darn the pipes! rolling like a marbel on a glass table. in JP pretty much tho u need a lot more carry . in Australia on the links course ,the 435 was supreme. above everything else ,the next best was the new yamaha 2011 quadra 75xs, played that in cyclone conditions one day and made most fairways with the roll it gets it is seriosuly long too. i was lot farther down the middle than id been previously on this course. thast really low as well. but the jbeam/crazy has it beat. the 425 tho so far is just mind blowing , ive only ranged it so far bec its too bloody cold here. but i have not hit one bad balll. not one! i cant account for it .but hey......... ill take that, thast a low mid flight as its 10.5* but its still on the low side, compared to everything else its low, just compared to the yamaha and the 435 its mid thast a better way to explain it. the best of the oem made ones is the 2010 yamaha v201 460cc 9* stinger set up. that thing is superb! its a lot more forgiving with off centred shots and pured ones feel magificent. same feel as epon . the jbeam heads tho are somehting else. my ultimte goal by this spring is to have culled my current collection and to bag ; the ryoma black d-1 vspec------quadra proto 75xs the 425 and 425 tour jbeams---------both curent crazys as is 08 yamaha as an alternate --------gd p9003x new 460 crazy---------crazy black 80 noir. then i can sleep easy, and contented. id seen these crayzs for a while her but they arnt typical so i ignred them , then u posted that report b4 chirstmas. so i lifted one for christmas golf and it was a huge success. horses ( ha!, or drivers) for courses! yes ido most definalty have a driver addiction. but i cant paly every day here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thks T, he better chip in with performance on it , bec its a sreamer! this was the crazy pros club i was told . so i m not suprised it was a one off. 46 inch damn..., if only!

chaps i just saw the most fantastic looking driver. the new crazy 460 ion plated but silver face in 9.5* with a la bomba white tj 46 sx shaft . didnt have my camera !! the club played to 46 inch so its too long but the head is the thing i was stoked on. its looks similar to epon 102 but more muscular. it also looks like the lie is biased to a draw slightly. (up right tilted in towaatrds the player if that makes sense?)its beautiful has anyone taken the plunge and bought one , or tried one yet?

last nights quiver. in my new cary bag. found this out ther couldnt resist it beautiful bag. like the old worn in look more than spick and span and yes... i just find a piece here and there and get it built the wonders of living in golfing component heaven. cost me a bit but u get what you pay for.

had another session last nigth , bit of a driver frenzois! brought a stinger a proto a fireexpress and 2 crazys along for the ride. 2 crazy heads and the rest were yamaha heads so i cud make a good judgement comapred to each other. the proto is def a lot higher than the fire express. and its similar to the stinger very similar actually. i was hitting a cpl of tour heads and a cpl of 460 heads, and surprisinlgy the tour heads were actually higher than the 460s. the crayzs were the lowest undeniably the tj especially was a worm burner. the crazy 80 ls in the crazy jbeam 425 head i was easily my most consistant driver, mid low shot pretty much dead straight. the proto was higher def striaght and the most alive pf the shafts. the fire express was low and ran ths stinger is the best feeling. but theres a lot of difference between the stiff and x . both of which i think playy just a tad under specs i can eeasily hit the x, an i find the stiff just a tad too soft. the 08 yamaha head on the proto delivers a loud pining long shot but not as long as the others i n the quiver. dispersion very tight again. control excellent. moveability no where near like the p9003x in the same head i can put that thing on a dime all be it just huge hugely long. the proto is more take aim, shoot .. yes! i thnik with a later model head this would bring the flight down a bit and be a better driver than it is curently the crazy over all set up is MILES better then everything else i have but its also another $300+ for that extra coin for me its def worth it. but thtas worth considering. i really like the performance of the proto , better than the stinger but not as nice feeling the stinger i think is longer just as tight ,and much softer to play, a real joy, prob the best feeling of all shafts . the proto is really a peformance shaft . like the GD p9003x. another brilliant shaft thats got no feel but all time performance. the proto wil most def be my 2nd alternate driver to start the season especially on bomb and gouge tracks. alonside the epon 102 and stinger combo which i will change to the x flex, and move the stiff along. the crazy tho...........,i cant imagine that getting knocked out anytime soon.

ohhhh i love matsumoto putters. i have this as well. its beautiful for fast grreens . lucky lucky buyer!

the 65xs is def a little tighter. and lower than the di6s 105-108 both are no probs the 65 xs will be rigid the s will be more whippy depends on what shot u like to feel. the 3 wood with these shafts tipped are like lazer beams. they will slice worms heads off in an instant. but the ball rolls for ever.

carlo id suggest start with the fire express, 65 s its plenty good , i played it mid last yr for a round and although it was a litle soft the lag never got away it played brilliantly all day. in an epon 101 9.5* u wont have any troubs with spin dispersion or ballooning.

the di 6 i found a little soft but it think its pretty low sin, and mid launching. the di7 skippercarey hit and reallly likes so there must be A big difference between the 2 . quadra u cant miss with , go a 65s or sx for a bit more tighness. it wont soar i can assure you of that.

I think its about 110+ the machines i use outdoor get me at47.5. Indoor abt48 .5 average some where around there

Excellent. Cant wait for firsrt game report on it esp with a quadra on the range it Was startlingly good. The feel is so very differenf due to that weight in its oshiri it thumps the ball, only concern i had with it was the face size looks small one of those rounded convex shapes but off centered shots didnt seem to be punishedbadly at all. Think ur going to be pretty impressed. Think the 15th at entrada is in range!
