crazyBlack 8o LS 7.4 (x flex i think this is)
finally got to hit this on sat in my mates on -off xd 9* hes not mad on it a touch too stiff so looks like ill get it, which is fantastic bec, its a beauty. been itching to hit this for a while, its really got a sting in its tail more so i think than the quadra but a higher launch, and a differnt feel the crazy has a more glassy feel the quadra has a more elastic snap. i didnt get to play on course with it that might happen this weekend. if he changes shafts. initial thougths are really good strong shaft. wasnt overly high but more a mid launching shot id say.i got a few to trun over so it might not be one of those take the draw out shafts i hate. good looking thing , want to be at $900 a pop i think they came out at . slightly more tingy than the crazy 50 i have in the superquad so with luck this might find its way into an epon or yamaha for a proper work out. but initial impressions were really good. need to hit some more balls first anyone else hit this sucker?

Epon AF tours vs the Gold's blades
Golds blades huh..., i didnt know about those till just now .......,thats next to check out.! As for the af- tours well as everyone says if u want to play a club thats the easiest softest feeling about then this is it . Ive got a few sets of blades on the go now and. Ive eeked out their pros and. Cons finally ( for me that is) the af tour i use in perfect soft Conditions esp. On nice spongy soft grass. Unbeatable! the sole is alittle thicker than most other blades .and the top line isnt super thin. They are a rounded club they frame the ball beautifully. im playing these right now in conjunction with my kyoeis rotating a day at atime and im basicaly going to the kyoies when its tough conditions and the aftours on great days the Af tours are the easiest and probably best progression from cavities to Blades I can think of.as an all round easy to hit great feeling blade these are tough to compete with they are not the most dynamic club available but. I dont think they were designed to be , they have a wee bit more offset compared to other irons but if u dont want to be cussing all day or ur not a scratch or better then these are the Very top.going From the 302 to these will be a snack,i got an idea get both and tell me what the golds are like!!!!

epon 208 kgx copper wedges
They are the best looking irons i think ive ever seen that cooperlook is awsome。 im 5 days into my golfathon at the phoenix in miyazKi absolutely the best facilities in Japan. they are starting to grow and plant new grass for the phoenix tourny in nov. ive Played. 4 rounds with the icopper 208s the feel is great the spin is terrific but as i had the same trouble doing With the fourteens just a bit difficult to lay open. im going to try and get them ground a bit bec they feel terrific just want a thinner heel and sole、not sure they will displace the kyoeis tho those giant offset mumblers have me hooked. They have become my faves. Glad i got them tho. They arenpretty good feeling wedges

using a "old" PRGR Egg 9FW as a hybrid?
- using a "old" PRGR Egg 9FW as a hybrid?
great photos , dont under sell urself here they are perfect! i saw the 22* egg. 9 wood in shop last week and stopped in my tracks to consider it, wasnt loking for one, but considering i am going to changes my hybrid, this stoppped me. i ve used a cpl of others last 2 weeks and they dont suit at all, its the shape that throws me. ive used a new TM and an adams but the shapes dont suit me at all. i checked out the RC but agn the shapes not ideal , this 9w thing tho........ is very tempting. the 18* is too storng for that role and too big but this might do the job briliantly. im gonna give this a try, as youve probably guessed im prettty partial to the egg range and for a ute style club this is smaller than the fairways but bigger than the typical utes. im gonna go back tonight, bag that elephant. im off playing golf at the "phoenix resort " all next week so everything is in takyubin on the way down now to get the mother of all workouts. 10 games in 10 days the idea! when my winter bag gets settled by this. im hoping the ute situation is finalised. ( just gotta have one of these in ya bag )- epon 208 kgx copper wedges
got em in the bag .look damn tootin' shoot out with em this sat . cant wait. 50* + 56* rifle 6.0 shafts never heard of those but they look pretty nice.- epon 208 kgx copper wedges
these shud suit the J conditions perfectly then. im going in.- WTB: PRGR Egg Spoon 13*
if no one has one let me know i can get a used one for you.- epon 208 kgx copper wedges
worth throwing the bag for a few rounds then? i found the same thing with the fourteens , cant lay em open enough but beautiful feel ,really like those. but not enough to push out the gamers, these copper things just look special gotta give em a whirl.- epon 208 kgx copper wedges
id presume this has been coverd a milion times already but i cant find any links. whast the skinny on the copper wedges , ive seen a cpl about. they look pretty good to the eye just wondering whast the y play like, im sure spoon, you must have had these in your travels! im curous as to the feel and playability of copper anyone played, has them now?- FOURTEEN 2010 mt-28 v5 wedges
i got to the course yesteday and reaised id unpacked my damn wedges from the practice session on sat to changes them over to my gamers and forgot to put the gamers in my bag!. my playng partner s like hahah good money coming his way. so im at the check in counter and they have a demo set of fourteen clubs including these wedges band spanking with ns pro 950 wedge shafts in them. i asked if i cud demo them they heartily agreed , and off i went. firsty at address the look reallly good, they sit beautifully, more rounded than what i sue and they frame the ball perfectly, no gleam they have theat creamy look to them. the top line is quite thick , which i didnt like , it made me feel like the ball would cannon of the face an have no feel., boy was that a wrong thought! the feel is as good as anything ive hit, the ball careers backwards with spin . i had the 52 and the 56* in my bag. , i didn t have a 60* so i was relying on this to be opened up, but the thickness of it preclueded that. but for point shoot they are sensational.oh yea, and im changing my heavy black kbs tour wedge shafts over and putting in the ns pro. absolutley loved them. the only thing i didnt like about these clubs was they didnt lay down as well as my other sets to create different angels bec they are a tad on the chunky side for me that is , i use yururi and kyoei and the top line on these are knife thick. so to me everything esle t looks chunky but im sure they arnt, the results for a first time use of a wedge were terrific. helped me along to a nice score and got close for a cpl of gimmies. oh and here the big thing i just read the info on these had no idea when i was playing them , they are conforming. gents these are serious wedges. put them in the top echelon of ur considerations esp if ur after conforming!- NEW egg 17* spoon.,

ooooooh i love this question ive debated this with my mates time and time agn., imo. YES. my first foray into j balls, started with the mizzy cross8s . about 2 ys ago , close to that anyway. i liked them for a long time, took a heap back to oz with me played a lot with them they took over form tity pro v1s and i noticed a difference , they had a more stout feeling , but after a while i thought the blues were too soft and not very long and the reds too hard. with no feel, so went to the shop and bought a box of each of these. titlesit granZ., srixon z star......,tourstage v10....., xxio premium brill..., super newing brill....., titleist vg....., nike black something. after trying each i was convinced mr nicholas is correct and they DO make a big diference. i hated the nikes they felt like hitting rocks. ran along the ground and made the club head feel like chunk of railway sleeper. NEVER again. the titleist granz were fine ,pretty non descript. perfectly good didnt notice anything good or bad felt fine , didnt see a lack of distance and around the greens they felt very good. they were the balls we ended up buying when we were at a course and needed some setai gifts the nice cross arrow allignmnet tool sold us on them to be honest. the titleist vg balls my buddy plays now and likes lot. he gets good distance they feel good off the driver face. i think they re prefly good but thats it . the tour stage v- 10 are now what i thought the titleist pro v1s used to be , good to hit, great feel and good spin on the greens, but longer distance , that why i changed in the first palce the titys wre soft but i was giving up yards i felt. the tour stages i probably shud be gaming a lot more. then i tried the srixons z star they became my fav very quickly, they have a more robust feel and more spin, i can feel the ball off the face of the iron quite distinctly , and on the green they back up nicely but dont feel like a wet sponge i love the hardness of the coat and the softness of the core. i played 6 rounds solid with these and and shot some great scores, i really liked them they are my back up selection if i cant get my all time favoutites. agn i probably shud play these or the TSage in matches BUT then i found the xxio and super newing premium brill balls.. when i subconsciously change all the other ball brands in my bag to these , i realise im onto something special thast exactly what ive found here. and they last a lot longer than anything esle noticeably longer. the reports tell me i shud probably be playing a more robust ball like the srixon or tour stage but i just dont and cant take these out of my bag. they just suit me to the point that i no longer notice what im hitting i just hit them every match. oh......, one other fact u wont find on any promo with these. these balls actually make u hit straighter, wait for it, YES ,YES it true. i know i use them and the reason is......., the cost of them makes u concentrate on NOT LOSING the bloody things!- Utility new one neded
agreed., its the head thats high launching and super tight. balls just kinda sail off into the sunset. the thing i notice is when i try and sting the ball , if i dont middle it prefectly the downward swing pressure can force balloons much worse than other clubs ive had. , the fix is simple.........., DONT try it. unless ur prepared for the consequences ! the club ive been trying this with is the 18* old model with the diamana stinger x. i ve been working on this shot for a cpl of weeks and its gettign better and more conssitant but when i miss it kabbbbbbom gone o/b.., the stinger in the 18* actaully brings the flight down and its crazy long!! i mean crazy. no way this is a normal 5 wood length. thast why im working on using this club more to do this shot but if i miss it "the stig " falls about laughing bec the ball pops up 3 kilometers up and goes 10 yrads forward. but when u get it just right well......, he who laughs last...... laughs longest!- Utility new one neded

i dont have a club that i can "go to" for this super tight longish shot that needs to go about 215+ with a fullish swing, and not go high. ive been trying the new egg for this but its either too long or it snaps as i have to choke down to the base of the grip. and sting it , its just not happeneing . esp shots on windy days or when i want to lay up to wedge distance. the courses im playing have gotten longer and tighter , and theres a specific hole i play i have in mind this shot is coming up more and more often as blader x says if i used a 4 iron this would nt be an issue but i dont so im scratching around for another answer, these other clubs are either too long or pop up. 3 stinger shots o/b with the 5 wood on sat did my head in ! it totally ruined an otherwise awsome front nine ,5 pars, 2 birds, 1 bogie and a 9...., i just cant have that on a score card, ( YES of course im blaming the tools here not my loss of head , hahahah, ) .., anyway i was so jacked i got str8 on here after the game and wailed for some direction. im think im going to have a go at one of the UTES mentioned above , either the RC or the adams...., AND im getting the 901 , which ive hit so well on limited occasions from the the tee box . the only thing is the shaft issue. the one my bud has i dont like at all . no idea what it is, its a single piece of super/ super light steel maybe even titanium (?) doenst suit me at all . its far to soft what ever it is none of us has clue, maybe even some kind of composite ,but we're not sure. ive seen this club with a diamana thump in them if anyone got any experience with that shaft? or i was thinking of going the Ns pron 1050 x FW wood steel shaft route. which i have and love. it not the longest but its pretty darn straight im kinda partial to steel in my utes .- crazy 80 fw shafts
Quadra. Every time for links! Ive actually got a links specific driver the yonex nextage 10' quadra fire 65xsthat gets played at nsw long reef and when i finly get to go to barnbugle dunes In dec when i go home for chrissy for a cpl of weeks. im itching to get down there my bud say its superb.one of the best there is . I find the yonex very easy to punch low its not the longest driver which shows how strong ishikawa must be bec he murders his. I finD i get ton of run and a super low launch ,the 9'. Was silly it almost ran along the ground the 10' tho is excellent. Jst not o erly long. But u cant change a quadra into big wind theres nothing in same ball park- Utility new one neded
Fellas the only remaining club that hasnt been changed is going to be. The tm burner has come to its use by date ,basicaly bec i hit my buds epon 901 and i smoked it,my question is what is there to consider? 22 degrees for use to long par 3s, 200 225 ish this is for and i want to be able to draw fade it obv the epon is no 1 in my thought now but?- NEW egg 17* spoon.,
Yea some guy dropped me on Wrx. No contact with him since he accepted pay pal. Very upsetting been waiting for this for 2 weeks. Hoping hes just on hols or something. Oh well gives me a chance to try the quadra which im ver y excited about. I def need something a little lower launching than the old one from a tee、i found this to. Be too high yesterday. Its great from the ground but not piercing enough off the tee box. Cost me too much in direction to b what im after as my driver replacement, the new one is earmarked for that with the quadra now, the fubuki is very good but just not good enough . Im too picky!- Daamartin's Driver/Shaft Fitting Support
you wont go wrong with either of them with yr swing speed. i know bec i have several of both in varying lofts , and models , i am liking the shape of the epon so much right now. ive played both together recently on super difficult courses . super difficult! and i found i differed to the epon nearly every time i absolutley had to hit a fairway (never did tho! ). its 460 but doenst look like it at all. such a beautiful design. its probably slighty harder to middle than the yamaha consistantly , but when u get it , you get that "X " factor that most drivers dont have , length wise. can split em nothing discernable ,PROB the yamaha consistantly, bec i got a ton of roll with the lower launching quadra on hard pan . but it doesnt matter the feel of both will bring that smile to ur face every shot. ahhhh heres the thing ......., a big thing my misss hits.. the epon is better , my miss hits anrt as bad with the epon , thast why i differd to it i just remebed mid sentence.- Daamartin's Driver/Shaft Fitting Support
epon 101- 9.5 * or epon 102 8.5* with a quadra fire express 75x yamaha v 201 9* crazy black 80 xx the crazy take the snap hook outta paly and has the best feel the quadra is just a cannon straight down the middle. we all know about epon heads for feel and the yamaha isnt a lick behind or infront of it. they both go a mile when u connect with em. and the fele second to none., imo - using a "old" PRGR Egg 9FW as a hybrid?
