  1. spoons ur man for this.
  2. i just picked up a crazy black 425 tour with a black 80 ls 7.7. shaft in a 10.5* head. got back from the range a few mins ago, and my heads still spinning. the look is a little daunting, small head compact at address, slightly exagerated convex look to it , like all the small tour heads have . but its a MILE easier to hit than every other tour head ive ever hit. and i manage to find a lot of these tour mumblers. this is the first hit back from my golfathon in oz and i was in fine fettle . i hit a million balls again, and dozens with each driver. i also took the yamaha tour 9* - quadra 75xs and the crazy 435 9.5* TJ-46 7.7 the 425 played to 44.5 inch and a ilittle light i think its 318 gram looked a little short at first especially against the 435 at 45.5but................................, i was smashing the daylights of of the back left hand side of the net at nishi kasai 250 out by a MILE. and i would have gotten plenty of run out. the black 80 is MILES better than the TJ-46 i think. the 435 tj 46 is so low and runs for ever,its utterly brilliant into strong wind , and on grass u get roll out of, not the kind of stuff here in JAPAN we play on very much, its pretty much all carry here. im thinking where to best use the 435 combo now actually. (shishido hills rings a bell) need low tight running driver here that ryoma i hit a few weeks ago, might be as long,maybe even longer and it felt good with the stinger in it , really good, good enough to buy for sure, but. this is better! the feel of this driver is still muted ,esp VS the quadra. but its a weird mute, im struggling to describe it accurately. the crazy 80 is felt more in yr hands, arms and shoulder s , all at once, smooth but incredibly solid . the quadra is felt in yr fingers with a ping , zing alive snap to it. ! off the middle the quadra cannons and the crazy catapaults. its totally different feel , BOTH are simply outta this world, the crazy set up tho.for me.., just rediculous. absolutely love it. i gotta game this first to prove it , but this was magnificent at the range in FREEZING conditions. oh and i hit this a lot better than the others, more consistanly more a mid flight than the 435 and oodles of carry and it would have run for miles. plus i was turning it over ever so slightly , perfectly. im off to the crayzy factory to get a fitting done. consider me converted now.
  3. excellent ,i for one, look fwd to reading his informative posts once agn.

    OK fellas , thinking caps on. i have set of 1957 miuras curently shafted with the PX 6.0 flighted satin. i love the feel of these, seriously they feel so terrific. HOWEVER all my other clubs have a lot more taught, rigid shafts on them and the performance is definatly better, nothing feels better than the miura set up bec the shafts are so soft but as soon as the puff starts then i notice a huge differnce in non-performance of these compared to my kyoeis and epons.. the epon and kyoei both have the NS sper peening blue in them. i was told NOT to put these i n the miura heads bec of the difficulty of launching them i was thinking of putting some NS SP orange like in my yururi flat backs i dont like KBS and DG CHAPS A PENNY FOR UR THOUGHTS MY IDEA is this , NS sp orange in the 3-4-5-6 NS SP blue 7-8-9 pw im just stewing on this as we speak. but seriously the feel of the PX is so good, but i cant score with them they arent precise enough. suggestions ? oh the pain, the pain..........,

    ah yea forgot abt this sorry yes! got back and they wernt as bad as i expected for a start. there was spotting all over them and Dad had some fine steel wool in the garage . so i took this and polished the backs of the heads lightly and pretty much all of it ground away easily , no scratch marks on the heads either. i took a steel brush to the faces and every speck is gone. polished them all up with some sword oil and viloa......., instant golf club heads agn. they are in good nick agn now. took the DG s400s out nad put some super peening orange sst pured in there and wow got some white iomic x evols on them. they look money baby! they feel totally differnt now. th dispersion is tighter by a noticeable way on off centre shots and they launch low still. used them in some heavy wind in the comp at "longy" and made some tough shots without the ball blowing in to the sea. i was contemplating shiping them out , but i kinda like having them in oz left them and a set of tour stage 901s there this time for my next jaunt down. theres something thing wrong with me i just cant hit heads with DG shafts in them what is that?

  11. HEY I JUST SPOKE TO MY CLUBBUILDER , HE SAID I SHUD GO WITH THE PEENING BLUE RIGHT THRU, IF I LIKE THEM SO MUCH HE SHOWED ME A GOLF MAG AND THE PROS USE THE SAME IRONS RIGHT THRU THE BAG. ONY THING I THINK ID DO IS CHANGE THE BLUE TO ORANGE ON THE 60* GET A BIT MORE HEIGHT THAT SOUND FEASIBLE.? HES GO THE WVS AND SAID 115 GRM ISTHE ONE I MIGHT LIKE. BEC I LIKE A LIGHTER WEDGE SHAFT. THE HEAVIER ONES DONT GIVE ME ANY FEEL THOSE BLACK KBS TOUR WEDGE IM NOT KEEN ON. I USE ns 1050 X IN MOST WEDGES AND THEY FEEL AWSOME. OH THE PAIN THE PAIN...........,
  12. it worked wonders for me in australia it was blowing a gale most of the time and i hit so many fairways down there with awsome results. the egg is a wondeful weapon when u get it sorted. and the major drawback with it is its swing weight to the other clubs , its lightness makes u top the ball a lot i was spitting chips for ages till i was "saved" i dont use it off the tee any more, i bag 2, 3 woods a lot of the time now the egg and the yamaha V 14* for tee shots.( this thing is seriously long as well ) but i cant hit it off the deck any where near as well as the egg. the egg is is a class of its own for that. bec of its trajectory being high, i can hit it comfortably shorter distances high like a 5 wood . a very versatile culb.
  13. ahhhhhh yes indeeed the old swing fast as hell head up eyes closed imagining ur 300 yard 3w thump , only to open them and see it dribbling like a wounded seagull 25 yards in to the thick rough ! oh yes, i know this EGG disease VERY, VERY VERY well. the egg head IS very light and VERY aerodynamic. which DEFINATLY throws ur tempo out . your SS is faster with this club than with your other clubs for sure . even the old egg. so ur tempo will be out . how to solve this. well i did it like this thanks to lorena ochoa. coaching on the golf chanel .., take ur club back very close to the ground for longer than normal and slower than normal . when u get to the back of ur back lift ur tempo has slowed bec of this purposefull move. when u hit the ball u will be sweeping low. rem this club has a preposterously sleek face so u need to be mind full of that, u can NOT hit down on it anywhere near like other clubs or u will top the living daylights out of it , get a sky mark and have to sell it IMMEDIATLY..........! think SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP , slow sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeping draw balls. i look a littel shorter up the fairway with the egg than i normally do with my yamaha V and this slows my tempo considerably , the result is better than i think bec the ball rockets off this club. BUT i have to look shorter than normal to slow my tempo, and the resut is better than i expect EVERY time. i also choke down on it a bit and concentrate on that centre line. im sure if its good enough for lorana its good enough for us mere mortals. it certianly was for me. it only happend to the egg, i wrote about this a while ago, i was topping the blazes out of ball form the tee, bec i was swinging so fast. now it doesnt happen. see if that helps
  14. well i have KBS in a few sets of my wedges and they dont have any feel at all. esp when i need to chip very short or flop , its super hard to do with the NS i notice a lot more feel and i only use the ns 1050 x, they have infinitly more feel im swapping out those kbs from all my wedges. to something else, so i wanna know about the WV.s

    Just back in JP from my christmas tour de force in Oz 23 of 25 days golf.................................., (my backs killing me) took an orgy of clubs with me and played every one till i cant swing no more. played a marvellous cacophony of awsome courses pretty much links based on kai grass fairways. tough for us soft JP guys who are used to hitting off clouds and marshamallow. tell you one thing, ur ball striking improves dramatically....! sst puring????????? yes i beleive there is a big difference. the most noticeable was in my kyoeis. previously i had these shafted with the NS 1050 x (which i absolutely love btw) great feel , stiff with a little less weight , untill i hit them with super peenings blue i thought these were my kahuuunas,It just transpired that whenever the conditions got really blustery (which they were most of this chrissy, ) i tended to take the kyoeis out. they really shined tho when i played a course called magenta shores. a BRUTE of a links where the average handicap amongst members goes up 7 shots. and thats no understatement, its almost impossible into strong wind. i took the kyoeis out for 3 days straight in some terrible stuff and i was so happy with the results. the straightness, the ball flight, the weight, suited these heads so well. they didnt feel as good as previous prob bec i had to work harder but he resulatant ball lfight was terrific. u cant leave them hanging , so it actually improved my ability to hit down on the ball , best decision ive made in shaft changing so far. it was so evident that id been hitting too light shafts for far too long. when i didnt get the ball pure. they were at their best. the misses were a lot more accpetable. than my other sticks. the notceable differnce is when i cut one too much and the ball normally just swings right kilomters with the new set up that didnt happen anywhere near as badly. gents if u havnt been "pured" yet and your considering doing it, dive in. after playing that much golf i can def say i noticed a great difference between the clubs id had done and not done. i didnt get the drivers done, not enough time, they are next to go. thks to antonio for his work in Sydney , sorted the irons out beautifully . brougt them all back to japan , so cant wait to hit them on the spring grass in march-april to see how they go on courses i played previously without it being done.
  16. Yes there Definatly is The17 is a lofted.spoon the 18 is a 5wood There's 20 yards Diff
  17. Golf messe In hiroo Has an incredible.range EBISU GOLF UP THE.ROAD.LIKEWISE THEY ARE THE BEST
  18. 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.?
  19. 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
  20. great photo, great ................,
  21. 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)
  22. 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 ...................,
  23. That's the same. For me in drivers
  24. 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.
