i got home last night after a cpl to many asahi super drys, and my wife said shhhh sit down ill tell you whats happeneing here u like this stuff, there was a TV show on about the CEO of IOMIC moving his plant to thailand by,gulp..., the end of this yr. he was very nervous about the quality of the product being produced over there and worried beceause the chinese manufacturing copying his product exactly with massively inferior materials and selling them for next to nothing. iTHINK they said branded as iomic. the weird thing was the cost base was the same MIJ to MIT .. he looked quite dispondant about the move. but admitted it was neccessary. T did u see this expose as well?

here here..!

funny u should mention the fourteens as your " in the garage clubs " , beceuase i have set of the tc1000s that are exactly in that mould. every round i play with them, which isnt very many....., i hit good irons shots. but for some inextricable reason i never use them. ill only go to them when im mucking around. and i love the feel of them and the ease of them. i think i must suffer from some horid golfing disease of the mind that forever keeps me searching for some thing "different". those fourteens are a great feeling iron and i play well with them buti never use them, go figure. ...................,

hahahahahah well its rich for a fairway i agree.., untill u hit it. i used mine all this weeekend , played 2 short super tight courses form the tees harldy used a driver, didnt need it. put it in that context and its cheap! the head is so light . you have to choose a really heavy shaft to get it to those specs at that length. unless you play 80+ gram shaft then its gong to be tough i think to get your specs , thast exactly what i was trying to get to. so im palying mine stock at 43 with the fubuki alpha, it much prefer this to be shorter at 42.5 , but i have no probs with it a t43. T whats the best way t get it to this level bec i cant get it there ???

whats the cost of doing this roughly?

THE OLD M-43 HEADED DOWN UNDER FOR SOME SUMMER SUN AS WELL.' CHEERS! still have the others to go...,

wowsah, that looks incredible im sending my miuras in

i love the hatch. been eyeing one of thee for ages., not allowed tho. damn........,!

thast exactly what im after. going to play lots of windy links course so im after a more punchy.lower flighted set up.

ahhhhhhh., well bits and pieces. u saw ths shot of my club room, its still not better. im having a hard time deciding whats the best suited and whats not. its all so good. i ahve till dec 15 to clear it out thats my goal!

close pls.

I finally got my Epon 302s back from abroad. i hadnt played them well the times id gamed them previously , i just thought they didnt suit me , so when they came back i was determined to make sure they didn t suit before i sold them, so i took them to the range last cpl of sessions last week and hit a buzzillion balls , the mistake i was making was i kept heeling the club and turning the ball over massively, big snap hooks. didnt do this with other clubs so kept these under wraps for months ,i put it down to the big soles. i gamed them yesterday with superb results ! before the match we had a big old session with the irons off grass not mats and with proper match balls , not range rocks. superb range facilities at Narita i was hitting the ball as flush as i ever have . worked out my swing flaw and started middling them. game time it didnt change, shot 39-36 nine pars on the back nine ...,GIR, 8-9 only miss hit was on 18 , when i chonked a 5 iron 30 feet.but made the 15 footer for par. every shot to the green on the back nine was iron based so i got to see every iron in all its glory hit 8-9 fairways as well so palyed the irons at the best condition from lush fairway ( i missed every single bloody birdie shot, i think some thing need improving here!!!) gamed 5-pw my mind is completely changed now , these are absolutley superb. heavy, solid ,and workable. It was windy yesterday as well and the extra weight on them kept them low and piercing.no ballooning can move both ways if needed and distance was longer then my blades. im HOOKED on these now. not sure what category these actually fall into kinda blade, kinda cavity ,workable , soft as tissue paper and an absolute joy to hit. gotta go hard at them as well they dont seem to like to be toyed with they are staying in the bag for a wee while , god bless em! they are most definatly NOT for sale..

my kyoei V- blades are just sensational. the directness and palayability is second to none. and of all the wedge sets i own the kyoeis are the ones that get bagged for big matches. i agree totally that kyoei on the whole are superb clubs. these will definatly get a look in!

hahha, it doesnt look the friendliest or easiest course on earth. the look on JL'S face on the 18th gives it away pretty sure hes thinking for gawdsakes facing curlty in me frist test at the wacca and getting meloned was a lot bloody easier than this thng! bring it on, if ican get a cpl of days r and r over there ill def play that puppy

hahahahahahaha, good idea infact........, i will be doing JUST that in mid dec till mid jan . cant wait! 21 in 21 is that possible????? hows this sound week 1 ...,nsw--terry hills---royal sydney--long reef---australian---cromer---elanora week 2..., commonwealth---royal melb---kingston heath---the national----metroplolitan---barnbugle dunes(x2) week 3...,lake karinyup--- cottesloe-- wa gc---- the cut--- joondalup---ELLERSTON..(x2) might have to give the game up if that ever happened thefe would d be nothing left to play for could die a happy fella with that under my belt. !

yup. im a heads only kinda guy.

never hit these before just found a set any info pls chaps?

fellas im not going to use these ever they are pulled original shafts from my eggs. if anyone wants another one i have to move m-43 15* old spoon m-40 18* old spoon m-43 15* new spoon m-37 22* old spoon no idea hows this sound $70 each i guess ??????

this season ive gamed the 13-15-17-18-22 in the eggs . the old 13 is for low shots form a tee, very hard to hit well or consistantly off the deck.the ball runs a mile and its hard to get it above head high. fantastic for windy or tight courses where u dont want ballooning its shafted with a fubuki 75 s fw rediculously stout! the new 15 can be used from anywhere u want it, tee the deck, it doesnt matter its that good. its a long 3 wood thats more moveable than the old one. and lot more versatile, ive had this with a quadra fire express and fubuki 6s s fw , the old 15 i repalced with the new one , the old one i think is longer but he new one is more workable thats why i changed, is you like straight shots with a 3 wood then the 15 old model is superb, it runs a mile and all par5 s are fair game with this, i shafted this with a quadra , its crazy long ! the new 17 is the most versatile of the lot ,i just used it straight of the deck no problems at all, length is about as long as the 15 , just a slightly higher trajectory and its a safer club. i had this with an ozik f6m2 and a ozik hd6 both utterly superb shafts for this head, the ozik range and egg seem very good indeed. the old 18 i use for getting me up near the base of a par 5 when i cant or dont want to go at the green directly ,or off the tee occasionaly on short par 4s where i absolutely need to be on /next to the fairway . the shaft in mine means this thing doesnt move left or right , its just point shoot and(usually) smile . i have the diamana stinger x in it . the 22 is my quasy hybrid its def. longer than a hybrid and dead straight , the NS 1050 x steel shaft was a great idea. took some distance form it and made it super straight, i love this club. i always bag the 18 and rotate the 22 with the egg 4 iron i converted or the epon 901 if the course is shorter, the 13 is probably heading back to oz for the links couses . the 15 new one i use on open courses where i can have huge crack at par 5s. the 17 * I i NEEDED A HEAVIER SHAFT ! probably going to get that back and load some heavy artillery on it get that swing weight to d4 ish . basically off the deck theres nothing better to hit than the eggs i think.they just work.

Golf around tokyo in winter is perfectly fine apart from a cpl of days. Its super chilly and usually no wind to speak of and dry super dry. The ground isnt the nicest to hit from but compared to high summer Its actually really nice to play in. Have to keep the mittens on between shots most of the time bec. Hands freeze easily. Temps are about 2- 6c so its ok the mountin courses are all closed for snow but ifu go south its tropical , so no probs we play all yr and threres No drop off in traffic. the course gets really parched brown but the chemicals these guys use keeps the fairways green the greens are lightning! I love winter golf

hes going to go for an extra pw and bend it to 48 and play 45-48-52-56 and drop the 60. which is the least fav. and most inconsistant of the possy. makes sense i suppose.

Just saw a set of these , wow they look sensational. i have no diea about mizuno gear but seriosuly the shape of these suite my eye as good as anything ever. whats the skinny on these , quality wise, playability are they in the top echelon?

My buddy has a set of EPON 502s, and the loft on these are really strong the pw is 45* he thinks now hes a wedge out, his wedges are 52-56-60 and he thinks from 45- 52 is too much, his old PW is 48* and thats his 115 yard club which is now gone . has anyone else come upon this issue and what resolution did u come to? , he doenst want to bend the clubs beceause they were made to those specs for a reason. and cant drop a wood for an extra wedge. i told him thats what hell most likely have to do. but it is a pretty big jump at that end of the bag to be 7* out at the business end. any suggestions?

not played it but tried it at range, the driver with the ahina. i thought it was pretty nice. pretty forgiving, they are very expensive, played by a lot of older japanese golfers.., shachos seem to love it. i thought it wasnt overly long but kinda like the xxio driver (??), light and swings easy, wasnt for me, but they sell a few of them to the older set. , they are not in stores, they are more like an order club i think.., i havnt seen any around in shops.

THIS is a bold statement, but i think i might have found my putters for the looong foreseeable future.the never ending rotation of putters might be nearing its end. the different tack ive gone in recent times using big bladed faced putters, the scotty detour, the guage design aluminum.., scotty futura. old golden bear aluminium, (with some good results.) has changed irrevocably from last saturday. That axis eagle 1 that is advertised on the home of wrx . has been my gamer and its s been fantastic, first day of use , i hit one eagle , and 2 birds, all solid putts to make them on slowish greens ,was the best putter that suited me ive hit in years. ive been gaming that for several weeks without anything near taking its place......... till now.........., i was browing the putter section and i noticed behind the cavalcade of used scottys, a reqasonably newish copper faced putter,curiosity called and i picked it up " hello there what do we have here." . the matsumoto mz-07, in perfect condition. ive had a cpl of his older ones before and wasnt really hooked, so i played a bit with it , said what the hell its abslutely beautifull anyway ill take it. played it sat and made 3 birds in a drunk -a- thon friednly compey and then said HELLO, this is staying.............! ive used a cpl of japanese putters before the Yamada milled springs to mind but couldnt get them wired, loved the look and feel, but on the course they didnt do it, this is the complete opposite. its smaller bit more flat lie, and the feel, kinda lightish, didnt like the feel, but the look got me ,on the course though without a shadow of a doubt , the crispest feeling putter ive hit, ( HANG ON, I KNOW i havnt tried that golds yet! ) but ..........,seriously this thing is absolutely superb ,the greens wre running about 11, they were slick and in superb condition as good as greens come really and i was knocking them stiff all day, the only thing was the grip was in taters so it down at nakajima sans now getting the brand new iomic putter grip on it . im a changed man, im not prepared to sell the axis, thats still got the bag position on slower greens but on fast slick this was utterly fantastic. well worth looking at folks well worth it! ill pop up some photos tom.
