perfect pro cord. they rip ur hands up with lots of use tho. and they are great in the wet. imo

yea i do., i love them but theres a bit of a differnce you cann notice between the new grooved wedges and the old for sure. if u a re going for new grooves, then these are really good., very soft. the spin out sdie say 70 yards from the fairway isnt as noticable as the closer u get to the greeen. they look real ly good sit beautifully. just a big call going to new grooves if u dont have to.

first round with it yesterday. lovely look, and the black new iomic grip is beautiful. the length i thought might be a little short, but was not at all the first drive,a 270 draw down the left centre told me i had something i was going to like here, and after 9 holes , iwas chuffed. at address the pear shape is there ,but is not as noticeable as previous models, which i like . the feel is fantastic. that typical yamaha thump, not hollow no face compacting , just shoot and watch the ball fly off the face. beautiful sound, def a thwack not a ting.. the shaft set up works fantastically well, its non biased and slightly higher launching than my other shafts but thats not a bad thing. distance was good with some solid run , draws and fades with ease so workability not as isue. at address the club doesnt favour one side , i t looks like it wants to be hit wherever u want it to go., ill say its for better palyers, rather than anyoine , the d version is much more forgiving and easier tio hit. but this new one is def easier than the previous models. i substiituted this at 9 holes, with a new on off 2010 red 9* rodddio m i7 shaft. which i hit just as well, these 2 clubs are now my clubs i will keep. the rest have served their purpose and are ready to move on. i wont say one is better than the other here. bec they are differnt and suit differnt syles but i loved both equally. i will say , that for me......, the yamaha is the best feeling head ive ever hit and that the onoff set up is impossible to beat. luckily now i have both.

no, but i had them on standy in a used shop ew weeks ago. but decied on keeping my bbd type h 2 wiith the diamana blue. instead. , they are a littel smaller and look absolutely sensational, they had diamana whites 73 s in them, but at 35000 apiece used.,. i didnt think that difffernerce from what i have was worth the added expense. BUT., if i didnt already have my ones i would have taken them i n a heart beat. roy coll fws are sensational.

this is the one i saw.

top skills...., i love this stuff. a cpl of these ive hit as well and u summed up pretty much what i thougt. i love comparing clubs and esp shafts, i do it every week at the range . im doing another sesshy tom night with some new ones i just got quadra fire-- ozix f6m2-- crazy black 50- -diamana stinger prototype-- roddio shingo spec-- roddio mi 7-- GD di roddio pentacross they all have yamaha... daiwa ....and yonex heads so ill be pretty kosher. ill chuck a post up as well. the GD P9003 ive seen in shops a bit but ive never tried........... i am now u said that!! the GD i hit a lot seem right biased so im not overly keen on em except fort he MD range which is straight. keep em coming this stuff is invaluable.

it would appear so they were realeased to catalogue in 2001. precise forged iron made of s25c mild steel. hollow structure design on the muscle part of the head.., it is recomended to high elvel players a model used bty tour professionals ..............., he english isnt so hot. thsis is is exactly as he replied to me.

saw a set in a shop yesterday in good cndtn. for under $400 they were made in 2000. of s25c steel for tour pros.

hahah understood. think hes already made his mind up . this seals it.

this was another option ive got , but i know nothing about this , except its really exxy anyone use this?..,

theres ia a magnificent set of these , hardly hit for sale ..........my buds eyeing them up , i havnt hit them can anyne comment on them?

10* going with the crazy black 50 x shaft in the yamaha 201 v non tour version. will be ready today....... range tonight!

i havnt hit this yet but i have access to one to put in the a v 201 yamaha , but idlike to know what to expect b4 i go ahead the guy said it was a a low launch.. but really stiff. stiffer than my qaudra, does this sound ok to go with ? guys who have hit this shaft i pls. they said it was an x flex. ok here goes., i played this in ( 8.2 x) for a few weeks. its a superb feeling shaft , very direct repsonse to your hands and firm i played it in the yamaha v201 10* head at 44.75 inch . i found is had a tendency to push right, the flight is mid launching and long low spin. not as loa launching as the quadra fre express. def not as low actually. the feel is really quite special. its got a glassy feel but with some give when u middle it and turn the ball over its a really beautiful feel , if u have a tendancy to hook then this would be a great shaft , unfortunatly i push the ball so the results for me on this were pretty bad when i didnt get it turned over. too much to bag im afraid, bec i loved the feel. i changed the shafts over from this to the quadra so i could have a face off. been dying to do this for a while. the quadra is a lot more direct it has no bias that i can notice . length wise its a toss up i have hit some monster balls with both of these shafts but i gotta go for the quadra FOR MY SWING. i like the feel of the crazy better. but the results are better suited to a slicer with the quadra. if ulike ot take the left side outta play then this is pretty hard to beat, a LOT better than the gd di series IMO.if i can fix my swing flaw and turn drivers over more often , then i will DEFINATLY put this in somwhere. it might just be i need a slightly softer flex. il try al ot to be able to bag this somewhere bec i loved its feel . however one must urge caution to the "pushers " amongst us. theres better suited shafts , but this is definatly in the fianal of my favourite feeling ones.

tks..., well looks like im sticking with the yamaha. question for u whats the quadra 55 like in the fairway?

was in the shop a minute ago loking at the new titelist and its look fantastic. bit less pear shaped than thier older offerings. anyone hit this yet? it comes with an alpha fubuki... or graphite design di s as shaft options. very tempting...............,

hold the fort for a second chaps , i just found 2 , 201 v series theres 2 models the tour and the non tour im gonna get the non nour 201 v thats got a illima 60 s in it but whatever, im more keen to see how it looks hits, ill change the shaft later . so hang on a sec and ill post a report on wed off to the range tom night.

i picked up some new epon sets a cpl of weeks ago and my bud has been dying for a hit with them since i got them, . its 36* in tokyo town all week and just horrendously oppressive! we decided to go to the range a cpl of nighs ago before we allowed ourselves to get comfortably numb consuming copious amount of asahi super dry & grapefruit chu hi's watching the gorgeous J - girls parade around Akasaka ,so instead of taking full bags we take the 7irons to chek out the -likes-dislike off all our sets. just for something a little differnt the combatants were epon 302---ns 950 s epon af-tour--kbs tour s kyoei v muscle--ns1050x fourteeen tc 1000--ns950s tour stage 901--ns950s nizing prototype.--dg s300 miura cb1006--dg s300 yururi flatback.---dg s400 TM tpforged--ns950s bearing in mind this wasnt an exercise in maker vs maker, more , a desire to see if there was anything we have that jumped off the page by only hitting the 7 iron in uinison and what conditions each iron set would suit best. heres what we thought discussed over the afformentioned chu hi frenzios that followed............., KYOEI v muscle ........, this was a very stable very direct club. the feedback is fantastic u know if u middle it or if u dont immediatly . there was however a noticeable loss of disatnce on non centered shots and a small loss of feel. workability these are outstanding. middled shots are awsome. not super soft not rock like beautiful iron. comp play springs to mind. TM tp....., A very soft palyers iron, workability better than the other non blade irons ,distance good ,feel superb. non centered shots werent overly penal, and centered felt brilliant . they have a smaller head than most cavities . excellent club. performance springs to mind here. YURURI flatback......., tiny head. the smallest offering by a way. quite daunting to look at if ur not used to them. workability just rediculous. easily the most workable . centered shots just pure. miss hits very penal . there is a huge distance loss and direction loss on bad shots . but when u get them clean whoa dragon! .trajectoy mid high.. higher than expected against the others which surprised me. old world charm is my menatl piccy of these. good iron palyers only need apply theres no respite. EPON AF TOUR.... the softest blade, by a long way. good distance and good trajectory mid low. fora blade off centerd shtos wernt overly penal, and centered .......well. perfect! .....,workability is excellent the best blade. (btw the kbs tour in them are awsome .., tks eponfreak) shoot the lights out is how id descibe these. TOUR STAGE 901....., very small head super thin sole ,the thinest by a long way. these we decided are the best for wind play. the trajectory is LOW very low, workability sensational. u tend to err towards an extra club with these bec of their size...., feel is very good not as soft as the epon, but very good for a specific round. links golf springs immediatly to mind . MIURA cb1006....... ,straight lined at address flat sole base. the squarest looking club. , feel is solid def not soft like butter. trajectory mid. distance very good. maybe the longest. moveability very good , they are easy to control with out gettitng super snap/ slice tastic. solid every day club . if i cud have one set only and it was these, they would do perfectly. no complaint or longing for another set. i didnt think they were best feeling not the worst. solid sums these up prefectly. NIZING proto..., my japanese clubmakers own design , like the miura a more solid feeling at impact. lovely to look at simple effective design , i think made for mid handicappers . moveability good , but off centered shots were quite penal. good distance. surprised he didnt make a lot more of these the look alone wud sell. cost efffective simplicity springs to mind. FOURTEEN tc 1000..., i wrote i wasnt overly mad on these not long ago. but in this co and as a comapre contrast exercise these were my biggest surprise. very light mid high flight , moveability ok. quite a soft feel ., at address the look a bit thicker on the top line and an ever so slightly larger head. these were so impressive this time i aint selling em any more. every day springs to mind. EPON 302......., although this was not the object of the exercise, (we were looking to see exctly what we cud do with the same no. iron not do a "vs" thing ) there emerged a very "clear winner " these are just sensational. the softest sweetest club., the trajectory, the distance the stability just perfect. workability fine without being too stong, off centered shots were rewared the most . distance very good. and simply beautiful to look at. the best looking design and at address. not square not round. head size not big or small the tiniest offest noticeable. the feel, omgod. nothing comes close. absolute perfection springs to mind. and i havnt played them yet, that joy comes tomorrow.

i put the kbs in them , they are absolutely perfect.

My clubmakers range here in tok. . hes got so many little brands in there i get a new trial every week ,some of the woods are just incredible. baldo, ptune..., he makes his own limited set of clubs ,theres a driver,a fairway ,3 wood & utility and in irons theres a cavity and these players iron sets and a cpl of wedges. made from s25c forged in himeji they are very easy on the eye. solid at impact, gets good distatance and mid trajectory . smallish head. top line quite thin, base is medium bodied. nothing flash about these at all, just a solid easy to play players iron .

chaps living in tokyo has certain advantages. i hate to tell you guys this..., i JUST bought a set of af -tours heads a cpl of days ago on the forum here. which i got yesterday morning absolutle beautiful, was very chuffed, THEN at 10.45am not 20 mins after they arrived. yesterday i got a call from my local shop.., 2 thats right, 2 sets came in a set of af302 and a set of af-tours , somone owned both and for some inexplicable reason didnt like them! and chopped out.. i jumped on the scooter at lunch and hooned down there to have a look . did then manly thing..., bid him low for both sets and got hit immeditaly. the a 302 didnt look like they had been hit the af tours were obv. his gamers. (now ive got 3 sets , 1 is going str8 back to oz , the others are sitting here with me. what planet am i on!) i hit the 302 last night at the range. NOW i see what u guys been talking about , the veil has been lifted. they came with a lovely set of dark blue iomic grips on them . just magnificent. i have a question tho , i was going to pull a set of kbs tours and put them in the af-tour heads i bought form here. . i think the standard shaft they come with is a the dgs300 which i have a set of as well and like. but i really want to put the KBS set in them i hit the 302 with the ns pro 950 gh s and they worked brilliantly, loved them i n these heads! any pros/ cons for KBS , anyone using the kbs set up, bec thats what im leaning towards ??

ive got a cpl of Ali'isleis , a 73s and 73x in my 15 and 18* diablos and they do work well in fws...., much better than in a driver i think. off the deck they seem to be pretty low launching with a small upward kick towards the apex then good roll out, i find they are not the best for landing on greens tho. i find them much better for hitting towards the green that landing on it. From a tee , ( a really low tee) they get a lot more rise and less roll . not overly keen on hitting these from tees. BUT..., my trusty old diamana blue 73x is my best performer. (gotta hammer it a bit off the deck thats granted, as its an X , but from a tee , its easily the best.) ive got them in my Royal collections 15* 17* fws and they work brilliantly for me. no bias just super solid instills total confidence for any shot i need. the others set ups ive got are an ozic xcon 6 in a TM burner tp 13.5* and a big bertha a 18*( that thing is superb) the xcon has a nice high launch profile, and is absolutely prefect for landing on greens .easily the best shaft for that, and the xcon seems to have a small fade bias with not a lot of roll(for me anyway) so i can go dead at a target and it stops dead. i have a kaili 70 s in a birth 15* which im liking ,but not as much as the blue. ( im still r testing that set up) ive treid a few graphite design ev6 s and x in my roy colls, and found them harder to get in air with ease. i found i was swinging hard to launch it but its gets a lot of roll these things just go, i think they are very good for very hard swingers, i see a lot of these in fws in used bins here.

ive hit these enough now to have a good feel for them. my posse of these now consists of 2009 4.6 rpm v with a gd DI6s 2007 4.6 v with GD md 6s 2009 4.6 rpm D with roddio pentacross w6ba had a great game on sat with the MD 6s into a stiff breeze ,this was a great club. id lost my slicemachine swing and was thumping these out there. with a nice little draw. i was hitting this in conjunction with the yonex nextage and i think the yamaha was the slightly better club. ( apples to apples here !) yamaha heads are very good indeed. and they are long, im converted now. the 2010 is getting looked at agn tonight........,

just bought this it felt fantastic on practise green! anyone ever seen one before??? .. hoya the lens maker aparently made a cpl it feels good, seriously !

right im lifting one tonight.
