Grips, Grips, Grips
iomic x-evolution for driver NOTHING else need apply. perfect pro cord for irons . the same response. tried about 10 differernt styles these work the best the iomic x evol have a softish feel to the hands but an incredible tort play the perfect pro cords are super harsh on the hands they feel like sandpaper and in the wet they are terrrific. i wont have any other grips on my clubs ....till something better comes out. but i m gonna try try these grimaster kangaroo mumblers . they get a good wrap.

ryoma driver
not sure if thats it , i was told its all black. i presume that means the face but i dont know fully yet i aint seen it in the flesh, next week i get a look at it. ill take snap of it , if they let me do that. 99% sure its not for me . but curiosity kills me i gotta have crack at it !!!!!! T was inspecting the baldo thing, seeing if they had gotten better in manufacturing. im not a manufacturing guru , certianly no ones better than T at that. hes the answer there. as for the ryoma., seriosuly 90K for ahead ? thats really pushing the envelope i mean really really really pushing that boat out............,15 yards how much is that worth? im a sceptic. but until its been struck ill reserve my judgement .

Iron shafts
Just sitting here pondering the feel of my different iron shafts . i recenlty got a set of rifle brushed satin flighted 6.0 and used them on the weekend , really loved the feel of them. very differnt feel to my others they are very pingy and uber direct quite slingshotty , i just had them instaleld in my miura 1957 and i wont be touching them. suit beautifully i have always been a really big fan of the NS pro ive got the 950s in my epon 302s which suit really well a bit more flex gives that big head a beautiful sling shot to it. and highlights the feel of the head perfectly. prefect match. my bets feeling iron set. The NS 1050x in my kyoeis suit and feel absolutely superb in those heads and i will never change them . they are very direct and give an instant reposnse to what ive hit love that feel ive got the KBS in my epon af tour they feel great like they were made for each other,. a set of DG s400 in my yururi flatbacks suit ok, but ithink id rather swap them to ns pro 1050 x which have slightyly stiffer,but lively feel to them i realy didnt think id notice a differnce in shafts last yr but when i really think about it i most certianly can. am i missing any glaring examples i need to try???

Blades... too many options
ive got a few sets of blades.. epon af-tour.... kyoei v muscle..... sakamoto...... miura 1957...... yururi flatback......... i like them all for differnt things and conditions. the sakaomoto ,miura and yurri i like on hard pan, tight lied grass.bec of the small , thin soles the kyoies on everything. bec, they are in between small and big and they are the most solid of all. the epons on sponge,or wet grass. are simply fantastic, they feel the (best )softest by a long way. i went back to playing blades bec, i wanted that feeling of that perfect hit off the middle , just nothing else feels like it . ive hit cavities again recently , but they just dont feel as good., for me its gotta be blades. if u add the epon 302 and miura cb1006 in there as well, oh boy, i thtink my iron ho'ing days are over.

Old better than new
Old meets new....., So, on sat i took 2 drivers out to Naruasawa to play one of japans finest courses, right dead set under fuji. the 17th par 3 ur hitting str8 into her majesty, simply stunning. anyway i took my 2 yamahas, the 2010 V 201 10* with quadra fire express 75xs (44.75 x d3 x 324) and the 08 v 4.6 multiface with the GD p9003x 10* (44.5 x d2 x 323) used the new model on the fron nine. this has become one of my all time favourite clubs its super long mid launching with plenty of roll out. i dont think ive hit a better feeling driver than this (that includes my mighty epon 102). i like the fact that it plays a little on the short side(length) for added control ,it certianly doesnt give up any distance. it performed as it always does super straight with a nice littel kick in the tail.i cant move this around reallly, its more point / shoot and let it do its thing for long straight wide courses this is the driver i take out. Narusawa is certianly not ideal for this , the driving there needs to be accurate and theres plenty of dog legs off the tees to over come, i just wanted to test how id go with it on a tight driving course . and it went superbly. i missed the fariway on the first which is calamatous. and the 2nd(no warm up straight into it , not my ideal start!) hit the rest with good length. the BIG SURPRISE however, was the peformance on the back nine of the older model driver i made with Mjr D's help. i took his old GD 9003x to see how it goes, BOY this thing is good! can move it a lot easier than the quadra it s certianly long, i was super pleased , and with greater control than the quadra v201 set up. i missed one fairway by a few feet. back nine , in fact after id calmed my rage down from hitting 2 balls in the drink at he base of the greeen with my WEDGE from 90 yards on 18 to get closed out and take an 8 to get uber stipeed! ......................,i pondered the preformance agaisnt each other, my all time fav. driver the NEW v 201 VS the "OLD beast" its certainly given me a lovely headache. To be honest , the control with the older one was better on the day the . length wasnt as far as the new one and the quadra definatly feels better, but the older head i like the set up look of better.i like the way it sits up a wee bit more and the face angle looks bigger and more hittable than the new model. if anything it says yamaha make super friccccken good heads for one thing,!!! i shant be hopping around differnt driver heads any longer its epon and yamaha and shut the gate for me now. the usual right side favouritism of GD wasnt aparent at all, i didnt slice a single shot .this set up is superb. cetianly the new model is a better "feel" in every way,and is consistantly longer on miss hits especially , but the older one looks better at address in my eyes and control was better. I cant get over the feel of the quadra set up but the control of the old model cant be ignored. technlogy has made the new model better for sure ,but not as much as id thought. for theprice build of these 2 rivers theres certianly wasnt a clear winner. if the overall performance and feel is utmost then the newest gear is unmatchable , but on a budget the older one clearly is a better club. im DEFINATLY getting the new model make no mistake about that as soon as its out.......MINE.

Kamui + Quadra Combo
yup , pretty sure youll like it. its got a more tingy feel. stiffer for sure, my crazy 50 8.2x is exactly what id call X really have to turn your hands over on it or its right bound. the quadra SX is less stiff then the crazy X and i but the crazy has another level xx so it shud be a similar flex to the XS , but its definalty stiffer. hit crazys if you have trouble snapping the ball and loosing it left if u tend to block the ball the crazy get very frustrating indeed. but it does make y conscious of turning the hands over ALL THE TIME

Driver Shaft
ok id think the GD di6s will be a nice shaft for you. its mid trajectory low spin, hard to turn over little whip in the tip.lovely feel. shud take the left bends out of ur shots great price shaft too plenty long and u will get plenty of run

Romaro clubs??
they have done a fair bit of marketing at golf clubs with demos and displays. thier putters are very , expensive, aqll good reports on them , quality sposed to be pretty good. Roma-Ro i think it is actually. was looking at one of thier putters with great interest for awhile, but the cost stopped me.

they look great i might get a set of those which ones u reccomend?, the kangaroooooooooooooooooooooo ??- hoya crystal putter......,
hahahahaha yes im sure ud start dunking them form everywhere too. ! my mates thought i was a loon when this came out . but in all seriousnesss it wasnt THAT bad. but its going to be a trophy... its its destiny. maybe for longest putt of the yr. , it roates each season my mate drained this beast of a putt 6 weeks ago form about 60 feet . it was on the fringe of one of those double green type greens we were thinking it was going to be a 4 jack, he drilled it for bird whats more , nothing but net, we all fell over in shock .THAT was a bomb!- hoya crystal putter......,
id seriosuly doubt it. i asked if it was a real putter or an ornament piece and was assured it was palyable ,so..........., i took it out one day and had a toink around with it. it was rediculously soft, kinda like .., super hard rubber. but amazingly it was nt bad. id never gme it, ive kinda put it on the wall. was thinking of putting a plaque on it and awarding it as a prize in our group each yr a the trophy for "PLAYAH of the yr." after our annual chrissy dinner - IOMIC going to thailnad.
