    And delivers you will l laugh when u hit it
  3. thats a great bag . everything in there is a joy to hit. ive been thinking what to start the yr off with. a cpl of range sessions have gone nicely. hitting a few older pieces better than some of the newer ones . pretty much got the rotation in mind and ithink ive finally made a hybrid that i can go to with confidence. drivers are set irons are set putters perfect. the hybrid s finally good just the fws that are confusing me still.

    heres my buds finished tool from last lnight, i was going to steal it , and smash the daylights out of it at the range ,but when i got to nak-sans shop he had STRICT instructions to NOT let me take it out. damn! specs 47x 318 x d1 10.5* yes thats MADNESSS i can hear u all scream.., but " rear-admiral , lord tedddy smibbigton " one of my learnerd golfing partners. like to choke the bejeesus down on shafts and swing thru the ball . its huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge this thing. fantastic looking .
  5. well, the carrot had been dangling there long enough. they kept pulling the string in closer and closer, so i bit i had been thinking what to team this with , for a while , and the 10* 2008 yamaha 4.6 v has been my best head for a while so thats what it went in. 45 x 329 x d2 iomic x-evol white/red tip grip with the red white shaft . just a superb looking club. the older yamaha head is not as long as the new ones thats for cetain, the technology has moved into power zones at the back of the club to transfer a lot of push in to driver heads, but this is a traditional rounded , semi pear shape head. to me the set up at addresss is unmatchable. although i know its not as long it matters not im happy giving up 15 yards for more control. so after 5 shots with it n i couldnt control my emotions so i had to call someone that likewise has been very nterested in this shaft and let him hear whatt was going on. one lucky reader heard the pistol crack of the quadra first hand as the handset was placed next to the teedball, and i got it pure! this new shaft is stiffer than the old BY A MILE. much more glassy the xs plays like an x. totally differnt shaft. chalk and cheese. may as well be a differnt companies. theres NO similarites at all. its like they totally redesigned it every ounce if it. is it bette than the old???? well..................., after letting the night pass to allow the brain to process the data moreefficiently. without emotions diluting and clouding my judgement what i found was. the new one is tighter, undeniably tighter. i have the the 10* head on it so the ball wasnt scorching th earth , scimitaring poor worms heads off like samurais katana, thats for sure. it was surprisingly higher flighted than i expected. ,( but thasts DEFINATLY bec of the head on it) the ball took off low then straight into an arc( that never ballooned )it was a smooth curve with the slightest hint of a draw just the slightest. it was a thing of beauty. the feel. well. if u imagine every other shaft thats ever been made is made of chewing gum. this thing feels like a glass snipers riffle. the ting or ping is like isaid a psitol crack. , a bull whip in the dirt. its incredibly alive.. ialso had my crazy 80 in the 425 tour head and was playing both the differnce is incredible. the craay is muted compared to this. its longer bec of the head and just as straight, but i couldnt get the quadra out of my hands. that feel is one of a kind the older quadra is definatly softer the flex is, lessdynamic. dispersion is a wee bit looser. loosing balls of the toe with the old one can see more distance kept compared to the new one. the toe hits with the new one were def straighter, but length was lost considerably( ill take that!!!) it didnt feel like a left hand side out shaft, im not sure if its supoosed to be but i was turning it over prefectly. i think the new one isnt as long as the old one beceause its so stiff i think with its flex pattern the player can go down the flex not up like the old one. the new one is 100% made for fast big hitters that can get some hefty swing speeds and drill the blazes out of the ball. if u try and carees this thing it laughs its head off then bites you on the asssssssss. i tried to swing it 200 yards an it almost ran long the ground. felt like a railway sleepr in my hands. the older one caters to everyone a LOT better, its a more feel club than the new one and t delivers a low running shot. the new one i think gets a bit more air and a more over the top roll out. the old one is a low running fairway chaser. i will continue to bag both of these without hesitation, depending on what head to put on it, the old yamaha is a more thin walled driver so the ting and hollowness of it excentuated the glass in the new one. with an epon 102 tho, which i think is the softest head ever. i think this shaft will feel a less lively. like the GDp9003x this shaft is for swingers. 4 thumbs up 10/10.
  6. well i just changed out some 950 s weight flow wedge shafts to the ns wv 125 s , and used them last night . theres a big differnence in feel. its really noticeable. the wv seem to have multiple kick points. the shaft seems to warp then go rigid at impact thus allowint the ball to travel straighter. i was trying to draw it and it ddidnt really draw ,and i was trying to cut the pants of it and it didnt really do that either. the thing i hate more than anything with wedge play is when ur hitting a full sht and thhe ball"Pulls" of draws. this does my head in! it happens with monotonous regularity with dgs200 HATE it. lastnight tho..........., here to say they didnt do that ONCE with these shafts. they are super lively but feel hollow and tingy, i was hitting them concurrently with the SP blues in my kyoeis blades and there was NO noticeable pulll or slice , dispersion was fantastic. i usually play NS 1050 x in pretty much all my wedges they are incrediblty stiff but a bit light. and not a lot of feel. these new WVs give a little more liveliness. with added weight . but they dont feel like kbs tours . (they feel really heavy and dense IMO , )the Wv have ton more feel, if u like that lively feel like i do then these are the best ive hit. considerably better. i loved them.
  7. Thats nonsense i own all the above and i GAME kuoei more than the others those kyoei heads have the most spent on them of all my sticks. Vega is kyoeis brand in europe they come from sme place epon are softer kyiei are more direct shooters irons. T or gocchin is the man to speak to sen him pm u will be sorted properly
  8. HMMM THATS terrible. dont fret thast what this site is all about. have NO fear with vega. none what so ever. simply beautifully crafted irons. you can throw a blanket over all those u mentioned. epon is the softest. miura and vega more solid. orde form here! they have all the clubs u need. at 20 ish handicap prob epon 502 would be ur best bet.... vega or kyoei have a look in the pro shop get T to sort you out, its simple and easy. i will GUARANTE you kyoei are every bit as good as anything out here.

    managed to get a set of the NS modus 3 120 tour stiff shafts. winging their way to me as we speak. they are going into my epon af tours to be sst pured by the good divot doctor. ready to play by march.., and a set of those wv wedge shafts in 125 going into a set of 48-52-58* tourstage x-drive 03 wedges. i dug out of the recesses of my "mancave". along with the ns blues im thinking ill be set. iron wise for the foreseeable future. report on them as soon as they are done bec it will be str8 off to the range for a humongous sesshy.
  12. hahahahahahahaha.........., i DID try and warn you.., many many times. u skyed that f6m2.., im shattered! lucky ur not in JP if that happens in my group its an IMMEDIATE sale of club.

    tario did a good piece on it in his blog not long ago. the ryoma in particular stacked up incredibly well. this one i hit there is super terrific ,but its the price of an ocean liner.

    gang.., i have a cpl of fws with these in them. havnt plalyed a course yet but at the range i didnt like the feel of them one littel bit. i will say the accuracy was pretty darn tootin. everything ended with a little fade.. i found i was trying to hit the ball harder to compensate for lack of distance . they have absolutely no feel compared to graphite. what the skiiny fellas? shud i pull them or play around with them first. the flight seemed pretty high, but i was happy with accuracy, just not long. no where enar as long
  16. Yea!!!!!!!! Its moremuted, its supposed to be longer as well its a softer feel for sure. Its a seriously good looking head but the face scratches up on it. I thought the caddy dropped mine but nope it was fromclatter. I just black penned in the chicks and viola u can still notice it a bit but it makes no odds to the drivers performance. They cost a fair bit more for that finish but yes def a more muted sound.
  17. just hang on to that 101 ip..., its one of the beauties. at 9.5* is prefect. just get a low launcher. the quadra suits this prefectly. i had the stiger in mine first and i think the quadra plays better in THIS head. in he 102 the stinger is ,well just ask skipercarey its.............., MONEY....! .
  18. the 101 and the 102 are a perfect foil, there is definiatly a differnce inflight and stlye of play. the 102 is lower and better for straighter shots down the midde , on tight courses or on windy days i find this is the better head. the 101 is much better for swingers. its more compact, a bigger face and i i feel its better for kaboooooooooooooooooooooomimg. its more movebale , as for distance over all, well if u want more run than carry then the 102 is it it . u neeed more carry then its the 101. the quadra with ANY head is a winner winner chicken dinner! in the 101 tho i think its clsoe to the best set up.

    the vspec d1 9.5* this one in piccy. idid a blurb on it a few weeks ago. i was gobsmakced with it. still pondering lifting it or not. i do love it especially off the toe hits just sailed out there long as anything. but for the faster swinger than i, the crazy i THINK is al ittle more stable. both are sensational. if i sell my epon 101 IP then ill ift this exact head. in its palce.

    Ive hit the ryoma and the crazy the ryoma has a higher ball flightmore carry by a MILE but its mid flight not a sku ball shot. Its terrific if u want to carry long the crazy is lower and much more roll for the faster guy i think the crazy higher lofted is hard to beat truely.
  21. yup , thats exactly what i found as well. not a bad little wedge at all , especially for tight lies. its a really good option. i like that idea about the lighter shaft for the 58 or 60 and the sp blue for the 52 , im going to do that for sure. in facti lll do it for the 56 and 60 i like to feel every nuance on those wedges. ill follow you in on that wv style as well .
  22. DONE. what ever u like
  23. well........., ive seen about 230 of them at the movies, and arnie was in nissin meat rush a few yrs back. but thats it.., is htere another one u refering to?
  24. epon 302, 502, kyoei range fantastic. onoff. theres a start . not much better then those. read tarios blog on his iron cavity "shoot out" last yr, a sensational synopsys on clubs as good as anything ull lfind anywhere. its on his blog site.

    ok this stuff i think is cheap chinese made steel , ( is that term correct?) ss standss for structural steel. its a soft carbon steel that is used in golf clubs and various other products. its quite maliable and makes sense to use in clubs. cant find any actual heads made of it. thats hwaht ive snooped out so far not sure of the equiv of jis . theres a reason i m asking this................., im snooping onto somehting that i smell a rart on. imHOPING to god im wrong but......,
