  1. Yes there Definatly is The17 is a lofted.spoon the 18 is a 5wood There's 20 yards Diff
  2. Golf messe In hiroo Has an incredible.range EBISU GOLF UP THE.ROAD.LIKEWISE THEY ARE THE BEST
  3. Feel,quality of wrkmanship,design aesthetics,pretty covers it for me. Ping is a great comparison.ihate the look,shape and design of them, butif I played them I doubt if is lose many strokes , but looking them Erks me, just hate to take them out I dontlike the look of them.all the best clubs are MIJ anyway so why not get the best there is pretty sure endo and kyoei who makes everyones sticks make their own line just a little better than mass produced members. They look better feel better and imo and when I step onto a.course they play better. Why would people buya.Mercedes when a skoda does the exact same job.?
  4. I had a big look at these earlier this yr. I tried the epon 901 The Roy colle tion Adams Tm burner Egg 22* Prgr egg4 iron I found the epon to be the nicest.soft feeling iron style but it didn't suit me I like wood style hybrid betterso I now have the egg and 4iron as My hybrids and they are going fine. Both are a.little.long the travel about 10+ yards further than I really want but I changed the shafts and that's prob why Thategg4iron is a beast of a club plays a lot more like a hybrid that an iron. That's what.I'm tending to go with more.often than not. But I still think as much as I hate to say it Taylor made utes are really hard to beat
  5. exactly........ how do u describe it ? its kinda mute really , just chk chk kaboooooooooooooooooooooom...............! u hit it and go hmmmph well yea whatever. then walk to where the ball is and go f....k me! i used it agn today in blustery cons. at Long reef and blew the course apart on the drive. in pertty long off the tee, (nothing special and certainly , nothing like Mjr D , but i dont think many humans on earth are! )i, but was hiting to inside 90 on par 4s and on the par 5 9th admittadly with the SWesterly at my back i hit the driver to 145 yards out i, i have NEVER been anywhere near this befoire, on fri in comp i hit to 195 out and took the egg spoon today i hit a long 7 iron over the flag...... it plays 495 i was beyond belief. the ball must have rolled 40 odd yards. and didnt go above shoulder height. its 9.5* im seriously thinking of shelling out everything else excpet the epon stinger bec that just the bestr feeling club EVER constructed. and 1 yamaha.....(just in case.!) and whats more the crazy aint even got the kahuuuuuna black 80 LS shaft in it. lord knows what wil happen when that puppy goes in it. oh, its REDICULOUSLY low launch, so if u need to make the ball soar , fahgetabout iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit..........................! that why ill keep the yamaha and the epon, cost................. thast the only thing here cost ( but if you wanna driver that hits fariways and dont need carry then its worth it folks, seriously)
  6. Well I think ur pretty spot on I got it with the crazy jt-46 shaft 7.7 And I can turn my hands over ias hard as I like with out snapping it ,i get a beautiful small draw. Super low launch runs for ever . i was stoked when i hit this. i dont thnks feel wise, its as nice as other top dogs , im using the yamaha 2011 tour-- quadrra fire 75xs. 2010 tour yamaha-- diamana stinger 70x... 2010 yamaha tour tphhd matrix... 2010 yamaha v 201 -- stinger 70s ... and epon 102 --stinger 70x 2008 yamaha v --graphite design p 9003x thats my weaponry for 4 weeks of chrissy golf and i think the jbeam is the most solid of all of these................................. and that a HUGE statement. I'm using it into wind.at Nsw and all the links Courses and it s the best performer . Yes its long I don't have a monitor. But I can Def. see its humongous. my shgots are slicing thru the air and rolling another 20 + yards in comp im only using this now. Its got a spot for ever in my bag I'm loving this. The feel I can equate to miura as against epon I like the soft feel when everything feels like butter. The j beam is more solid , i can see why long drivers would use this club. mines plays at45.5 inch and I grip right down and swing for the fences On every shot, i havnt blown up one shot yet its a brilliant driver . its aLOT more expensive than the others, a lot more but ...................,
  7. Yep got both sets and they are both great the miura with flighted satin project x This shaft makes them incredibly.easy.to hit. my mate has the miuraisms with DG s200 and they feel horrendous harsh as a railway sleeper. the epons ive got with kbs.tour which ordinarilly im not mad keen on , and ive swapped them out of about 4 sets this yr , just dont like them ,no feel, BUT in the epon af tour, they are sensational!, this set go perfectly together. the epon are simply the easiest softest blades to hit and By a Mile . the miura are the most enjoyable to hit and the most workable. they are REALLY REALLY small, but don't be afraid by their size , they actually make hittting the ball easier i think, they frame the ball so well and u hit down o n it so much easier, i didnt bring the af tours to oz with me, i brought the miura and that was a great result. soft ease simplicity=epon af tour nothing close , daylight work target achievement =miura 1957 neither are better............., i prefer the miura tho.
  8. i gamed the SP blue on sunday in the epon 302s. my initial thoughts were wow these are super heavy. quite a bit heavier. it was pointed out that they actually arnt that much heavier @ 125 gram , but the swing weight felt a lot heavier. it made me concentrate on turning my hands over , every shot otherwise i was leaving it out right ,but hey thtas not abad miss really .it wasnt a slice just a block, that i can live with. when i did get them well the results were great. very tight and distance control was sensational. found i was 3/4 swinging and punching more than i normally do and getting the ball tighter than i have in the past. it slowed my tempo and swing speed down and bec of that i felt i got a lot better control. thumbs up. im changing shafts in all my irons now to these. for my tempo, which is slow up hands to about 10pm then smooth down and stong into the ball , they were a good help. as i said if i dont turn the hands over then the ball blocks which ill take allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll day.
  9. yea it was great going back to them, they are a seriosuly great FW . i just repacked my bag for oz tom night and low and behold they got a spot as well. ive looked at the new ones but the type h just suit my eye so perfectly on thus im going to go 2 spoons no driver and give em a proper wallop. on my short course for practice bring on the chrissy hols , QF 21 me up tom. night .,get me to oz.......!!!!!
  10. Before my last game of golf in japan this year on sunday gone. i was rumbling around my clubs sat night and for a change i decided to bring the"oldies" out for a run instead of my "ball mash machine " pr-gr eggs, just to see how they fair after not using them for a few months and how much technology had progressed. I decided on my old all ltime favourites, the Royal collection bbd type h 2 15* + 17* coupled with diamana blue 73 s in the 17* and X in the 15*. initially after not hinning these off the deck in a long time i was perfified to hit them offf the short stuff. they looked big! and comapred to the eggs they look like tiny shoe boxes on a string. obviously there anrt the are actually small but the sleekness of prgr is daunting. At this course i have to hit a ton of 3woods, my driver runs out thru the fairway into utterly impossible psoitions a lot if ur not dead centre so the 3 wood is a perfect foil. i hit 7 , 3 woods of the tees. same pretty most of the time , hence my massive deisre to find nirvana in FWS this yr. Im here to say, these "old things " played absolutly sensationally. i know why Tiger uses the blue board in his fw now ,the shot is pure its the gold standard of shafts in my book, it hasnt gt the best feel or the longest but its just so reliable. perfect flight kinda mid ish bit of carry bit of rollout. So as a comparrison n betwixt my armoury of woods how did they go? bloody well! ill use the eggs as a comparison , bec that what ive gravitated to this season. the Roycolls arnt as long off the tee but not a much as id thought. the ball flight is lower for sure the run out prob similar. i def swing slower and my tempo is better with the roy colls. and i hit the ball better than the eggs form a tee box. i feel supremly confident of putting it pretty close to where i want . def more so than the eggs. the roy colls have a small compact head. but a lovely sharp base edge that just say hit me where ever u like with any kind of shape. of the tee these are great .however...................., Off the deck the new technology comes into its own. the sleekness of the eggs on the short stuff. makes the ball look so easy to hit off the fairway so much better visually than traditional head (imo of course!) and id guestimate the eggs are like 20ish yards longer of the fairway than the roy colls. somwhere like that. i left the course after playing pretty well and hitting the fairway woods beautifully . wondeing what fate awaits these fantastic clubs. the feel of them is so good. the set up is so good, my confidence with them is soo good. they aint going anywhere.! IF i need to play a fw off the fairway 600+ to par 5s then the egss get the nod 100% of the time , but if my day requires a little more plotting, and moving the ball a bit the more traditional heads get bagged. the technology has made the new ones a lot longer no denying this. they are light and u can swing a little faster, get a higher shot and get near that long green more often but , if u need to think a little more than bang massive bombs, then the traditional heads are still right at the very top. ive basteredised my eggs so much this yr putting all and sundry in them , eventually going for heavy, low spin, low launch shafts into a club that was designed to fligh high , it took a long time to get that feeling i wanted and i think prob Gocchin or perhaps I-drive first go it right all that time ago with the old eggs and the crazy 80 fw. easily the BEST fw wood shaft bar NONE. uttelry amazing if u turn it over all the time results are stunning. If one requires a cheaper safe shaft then the diamana blue really hasnt lost anything over time. . simplicity at its most glaring. just not a long. both sets of these woods will be staying with me for the foreseeable future. oh and ive still got yamaha V 14.5- quadra fw . to consider... nice thoughts to consider each week .
  11. there the ones im talking about. i havnt seen em yet , dad told me they are in need of TLC. get em thursday. looksl ike i got a nice little chore for thurs arvo.
  12. tks buddy. tink il get a steel brush and sword oil and bring m back to life. cheers.
  13. gents....., can anyone tell me what to do with my raw headed irons that have accumulatd an inordinate amount of rust from being left in a a damp concrete environ for 10 months. they were in greta cond. hardly used really but in the interim they have rusted all over the face, i hear "coke" does something . i presume the rust will clog up the grooves. or is this prefectly ok, they look terrible! i have some sword oil is it just a matter of oiling these puppies and so be it or is there more important work needed?
  14. prob more muted now u ask......., its not dissimilar to the yonex nextage sound ( that small head rounded crown .,) and more like a pistol shot under a blanket than a whip crack. its a good sound ,ahhhhh yes. very much very very very muh the same as the epon 102 . its about a far away form that nike square tissue box thing as a driver can get. thankfully.
  15. Gocchin........ whats the scoop here sir? this has popped up every where. not the prettiest shaft ever but its the s tock in a few 2011 models. any testing or word on it?
  16. $40 ??????? thats a barrrrrrrrrrgain, straight to he pool room ........!
  17. im sure it was more the shaft than the over all combo , i reshafted it with a quadra fire 75 xs which is my stock in everything shaft i know that inside out , love it. and im using it this weekend to see what the diff is. i love the shape of the new one, it looks tighter all round better package than the older ones. (looks wsie) the shots i did hit well were very good, they motored out there , after reading about the ahina its not the shaft for me . im sure the quadra will make this work better for me . def getting used to it but i think you know staright away if a shaft fells properly suited to your game. i knew immediatly tha ahina i was going staruggle with for ever. other guys abaoslutely love it just not I.
  18. I was looking at a set of new wedges for tigher cropped fairways to what i have now, i need something a little thinner and sharper for the summer golf down under i have the yururi tour , and kenmochi already in oz for this kind of play , and they work a treat. but these caught my eye and i had to try them properly shafted ( ns pro 1050x alway s for me in wedges) they look more razor like than anything else . they are totally differnt to his other models,the other ones i have for miura ara lot fuller and thicker the WMF 03 are the ones with the bulbous looking sole . but wow they are super for getting under the ball . and stopping on a dime. i took these new wedges out on blue grass and rye grass fairways very tightly cropped and magnificent to hit off. these performed superbly You can open them up to all sorts of angles. can flop off the toe as crisply as anything ive ever hit the spin genertaed was excellent.without being madness. others i found spin more. but the confidence i had to hit it close and stop the ball was very high . needed them lot yesterday.for all sorts of lies and im really impressed by them bunker shots were sensational ,prob the best out of bunkers ive used. and for toe shots thers nothing better ive hit. these will be in my bag along with the yururi tours for long time id think. the look of them in piccys belies thier look at address. that bulb somwhow......, makes the club get under the ball better than alomst everything. could do a lot worse than bag a set of these puppies for places that dont see a lot of water . thats for sure. anyone else have them agree / or disagree ??
  19. T i am lucky chap. But i do do the volume that gets me in first. ThatS what i do. I love to hit everyrhing ther is. I have no bias so evergthbg gefs an honest apraisal. I just happen To love yamaha
  20. i just took the shaft out and repalced it with a quadra fire 75xs, pretty sure that will straighten it out a bit , seriously i couldnt contol it. spoke to my clubbuilder and he says the ahina is a right side biased shaft , which prob, epxlains why i hit it so far right last night.
