Fourteen HI610h TS dRiving Iron
ahhh yes i think this is the one i hit. hit about 5 balls gun barrell 215 ish down the pipes. i never liked these things but im here to say this was so simple. so good to look at, so soft i came out the net and said , if i eve get one of these , THIS is it. agaianst the yonex thing which seriousy if id picked the ball u p and thrown it it would have gone further. and straighter. it was like heaven.. the fourteen was leagues easier, softer, better to hit. stock ns shaft just beautiful. great club.

supo's bag--- 2011/12/13/14/15/16/17/18/19/20/21/22/23........,
i just found it like this and played it long, i cant stand that pivot position, i played it today and was on fire with it! 5 one puts from 8ft ish.., its bagged! i have another exactly the same at 33 inch .. just suits me perfectly. ( for the moment anyway) piccys tom cant up load form this piece of shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite comp. after one round troday at CCJ, home course 78, in cold cons ,was very very happy, one glitch, one very silly double. ergh! otherwise off to a great start. weaponry superb. those wedges wont be coming out any time soon , till it warms up any way. epon 102 8.5* crazy black 80 ls 2 sx.. oh my goodness. is now equal no 1 . humongous straight low/mid bombs. bit better than the white ice cream cone form yesterday chris san...., HA!

supo's bag--- 2011/12/13/14/15/16/17/18/19/20/21/22/23........,
having had a big session at home over christmas gave me a great insight into whats going into my bag this yr. its more of what i hit consistantly well and less of the experimentation stuff i l like to make. that way it might just save me a penny or 6 per week, and lower my scores with more consistantancy the drivers have been a bit inconsistant for a while ,i was either killing it hitting 12/14 ish or its 0/6 and errrrgh, just put it away use a 3 wood. ! ive worked hard on finding a set up that suits my swing the best + giving me the feel i like. i think ive finalllly found it jbeam /crazy set up the 425 tour and black 80 7.7 ..................., and the epon102 quadra FE express proto 75xs fairways ive gone with the royal collection 304p-- crazy black fw 8.2x ... the yamaha v 14* with (wait for it... diamana kailia70s ) and the egg spoon15* crazy black 80 8.2 . utility i wise m hoping the 22* egg 5 iron and ns 1150s set up will cement for a while, at the range its been beautiful, but a match is another thing. iron wise im playing the kyoei v muscles with NS super peening blue s to start the yr with the ground being hard and short grass. and as it warms up i m hoping to play the epon 302 same shaft set up .a lot more. wedges are the tourstage xwedge 03 from 2006 ish with the NS wv 125 , they have been fabulous on the range and first hit out tomorrow. putter is the guage design neo black no 1 in 41 inch shaft. piccys posted of match bag tom, but this shud see me thru till mid yr ish im thinking. small rotation naturally. but this is the core goal for this season is to break 70 as it has been for a cpl of seasons, but more over to move all numbers down a peg and consistantly score around the handicap with as little blow outs as possible. with a much help form my JDM delights as i can muster. bring on the season!!!!

3wood shaft???
hhahhahhhahhahahahahhaha...., crazy is the kahoona of fw shafts. quadra launches higher but slings further . th quadra feels better in FW yes different to drivers. but the quadra is looser.well thats not good description,ah i just go it quadra is looser in the first 20 yardsoff the face then dead straight crazy is more workable weird., but thats what ive found in FW flex not cut down driver shafts theres a diference

yonex blades.....,
Opening day of the show , and eyes wide open. too much to take in, sensory overload Yonex tho has always interested me , so stopped in for a peek, big showcase, with PLENTY of new gear. i was drawn , like a vampire to a long neck, to the new iorns for Ryo-kun. now i think i got this right ,i ll double check it tom ,they are forged by zodia in chiba. they look terrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrific ! nothing fancy about these at all , the stamps, the lie , the shafts,just one of the best looking muscles ive seen. they have a flat lie , somewhere between round and square toe. small head the 3-7 are full muscles, the 8-9-pw tho, VERY much inspired by the tourstage 901 but a lot more solid. these most definatly will find a home in my bag this season. best looking irons ive seen in a long time. UNFORTUNATLY I CANT UP LOAD PICCYS, so youll have to wait till tom, and hopefully ill be able to HIT them and give a little report. to look at seriosuly good!

golds factory
yea , join i love having one offs. but im slightly differnt tho. my bags a hotch potch meld of experimentation i like randomly selecting components and seeing how they go, some times i loose .. (akira driver - quaadra fire express.) but some times........... (yamaha 2008 - Graphite design p9003x)... (egg 5 iron ns 1150 x shaft for a ute) i KILL it big time. no one in the galaxy will have these set ups. when i fianlly decide to step up. and realise less IS more il grab some golds for sure.

2 & 4 Wood Suggestions
low lofted fairways huh........., dont think ive seen a 12*, 13* is the lowest ive spotted. but if u want a set of players woods, then these are pretty ..............darn....................good.................! in fact., in fact , infact, subject to gaming them this sunday. it will take a monumental cluster up on my behlf, ( which im positive wont happen) to keep these out of my bag.................................., .............................................. indefinatly. yup, the mighty all conquering egg spoon of last year has a collosal challenge to make the cut now. its on the bench, obviosuly itlll still start in certian matches, particularly if i need to bomb greens from a far. but for workability, looks, feel, these little beauties. . well im gagging to have a bash with them in a match at the range last night . wow, i could hardly put em down. they are much easier to hit than i initiially thought , i was expecting tiger esque difficulty , and the trajectory is surprisingly mid. i though i was in for worm burners. but nope. could move them about willy-nilly, distance no problems, not overly long. but absolutely no problems what so ever. i think the yamaha is longer and equally solid off the tee , but thier over all performance just no 1. they are reshafted with crazy black fw 8.2 x 43 and 42 inch raw. they look well........... fabulous, and the 60circ. white imic x-evols make then a an absolute joy to hold. final judgement on mon after sundays match ( all things being equal and i mange to get out of the tokyo show ) but not playing in a month is making me very itchy... hitting balls at the range is fun , but the thrill of comp is another thing completely !

roddio......,
that p9003x.........., now thats a bombers shaft. ilovethat. the older roddios are def higher launch higher spin . prob not the best for 110+ as you say. but for my 2 partnes who swing in the 98-105 range they ahve seen humongous increases in their driver distances, ,and they both hit all the top enders, the roddios tho i cant pry form their hands under any circumstances. ive hit he new s7x and its a beauty thats not high launch etc its a great shaft, hope they are at the show tom , ill ahve a big chat to them about end what end make shafts for. that 9003x.................. (mjr d , why????)

Less is More! Smaller Driver Heads
i agree with trial and error. my perfect length is now 45' . i thought it was 44.75 , but i found i like to have a small AK esque choke down the shaft a bit and 45 is my length, if i go shorter i snap it. i like the comfort factor the 460cc gives me most days. but if im driving really well then the 425 is the better option ive found. i wont have just one driver. i need to have a cpl of differnt types, shapes, and styles. shafts and heads included. IN JP , ill take about 3 with me and on the range b4 the match which ever one i hit best goes in the bag , regadless of what it is. sometimes its a roddio/onoff combo like in the monthly comp last yr , i came 2nd . i havnt hit it since, but that day,, it was perfect. when im driving consistantly well tho , the smaller head will usually get the nod.

$1000 premium shafts vs the crazy and quadras?
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.

roddio......,
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!
-
roddio......,
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 ?

Newcomer in the forged world
[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.

Newcomer in the forged world
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.

Less is More! Smaller Driver Heads
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!
