re hit my taylor made tp 09 44.25 inch driver with bimatrix 100x shaft on sat in comp along side my callaway erc fusion 3w all carbon head from around 05 I think it was . always loved this head esp for the looks , its a small compact chunky fat head that looks awosme from a tee but horrendous from the deck! so I don't even bother with it from the fariway, theres absolutely no point re did that with NS950s fw steel. results= short distance. by quite a noticeable way , a muted feel and almost a dull, lifeless impact. but....................................... THE STRAIGHTEST SHOTS IN GOLF end of chat. If anyones looking for something that goes only 1 direction for safety, steel wins.. and by so far its not even close. flight from what I got was pretty mid to mid higher.. not worm burner. not a balloon ball, was stock viewing don't think id ever thake these out on my long tracks ,but they were custom built for a super short trickey track at home and they got the job.. I bagged 2 drivers, 3 fairway woods, ( yup first time ever, 5 woods all up !!!!) a 3 driving iron , 5 irons , 2 wedges. a putter. used all the woods and al the irons didn't use the DI. nice to have more options to get on the short grass. that cant be over stated. the bag evolves yet again............,

hammer time!!!! great woods .

im still gaming the alisislei 4 or 5 of my clubs and I cant fault it... the only thing I think is its a buit mutedc omapred to sat a roddio labo or a crazy. but I like that.. its such a soft feel I think swing easy , it works. that shaft was so incredibly underwhelmed , prob bec it was a JP release only with virtually no dialogue on it, the shaft itself is so pretty in the sun.. diamana have the best graphics

agreed

very good but not tje best for moving it about. kamui pro is a much bnetter option ofr shaping it. kp tp 07 cant speak highly enough of it. for workability.

ahhh similar driver spec issue I have. my jbeam 435/stinger 70x @ 45 inch @ d3.5 and 329 gram didn't work well enough I t was . too head heavy and used to result in pulls, I was missing in the elft bush a lot more than I shud, re balanced it with the weights to 321g d1.5/2 ish , lighter head, taughter impact. not quite as punchy as it was, I feel... I lost a few yards but when those yards were I nthe bush,, well, that's the answer! the heavier fwds tho are interesting, I use them primarily for accuracy . long gone are the days of landing a 3 wood onto a green form 570 yards, so its akk about putting the ball to a good distance I like 75-85 yards seems to be my best distance , I can hit a strong SW or a cut 52 to tht distance with pretty good consistency. so the fw MUST be a 99% accuracy club... the only caveat to that is the prgr egg original spoon with roddio bee proto at 331 gram I use when I play the tips at the big courses that I need all of its power and distance bec its lightning rod straight this thing. I need to hit it as hard as I can to activate it, and hwen I do,, yowser,, this is a beast! honestly.... I don't know if theres ever been a better fw that nhe original PRGR egg spoon.... I just got my hands on a 17* head that ill rebuild with a tour ad p9003x for some height and length for all carry. that SHUD be a ripper!

have to play it vs my egg MFD 16.5*/qaudra fex 75xs to see if it TRUELY is the one....., the egg has been my best for a long time now but I think this prob has its beat.... the EGG is better from the tee that's a given its a lower flighted build but im pretty sure the kamui has its metal from the deck. wil lfind out this weekend. got some beef to it as well., the last cpl of fariways I had built were heavy, , the syard 15* 3w ( why I had this idle for so long is beyond me!!!!!!!!!!!!) they both came in over 341 grams that's some weight, esp when the driver I was playing was at 313!.. sorry but that didn't work out for me. to much weight dispersion the driver was obviously its too light , I kept trying to hit the green every drive,my tempo was shot to pieces. I missed all over the place, open bunt to straight pulls, when i went bck to the 323g driver , the world looked rosey again, tempo restored. what idid like with the light driver was when I finally slowed it down and just swung thru the line, it played so well, high , all carry, and straight. really really straight. this just became my winter driver ( on off 2014 w/shingo labospec (2010) shaft @ 45 inch@ my master got it from 46to 45 inch at d0 and well,,, yea. its light but flight was arrow and its high for 9* I put it back In the bag for another round im sure this one will keep the back from aching in winter!

Got this in play finally yesterday 17.5* dat55g w/diamana X 70 x with masda slick...................,, this club, LOOKS flash! sleekish face but slightly high rounded face over the centre of the ball. and an elongated look to it at address that seems the toes is slightly higher off the ground . but in fact it isn't , its the face shape that does that to it not the extra high toe..... anyway . it looks like you can hit draws with it at will but in fact that doesn't happen. it draws when u put a draw swing on it and fades on command equally well so its neutral biased.. which is GREAT. feel is magnificent.. my golly I have made something good here, my best feeling FW ever is the modart/crazy fw combo (14*) but this is easily its equal if not better. on hole 1 par 5 550 yards hit it from dead centre fairway with a beautiful small draw to a 56* wedge to the flag, also hit my syard15*/diamana alisslei 83s and the 14* royal collection bbd 14*/Ngs proto from the same spot to see how they all went and this held its own but aload easier to hit! , I clean hit them all, all perfect hits, the kamui was about 15 yards back from the 3 woods at the most which is really good result and SO much easier to hit, the flight was obviously higher but it wasn't sky high , I cant coment on roll bec it was wet. but the ease of this thing to hit from all over the park was pretty eye opening. from a 200 yard par 3 where I hit a super high cut over the pin ( obv this isnt ideal for that yardage but just to see how how went) , and yes it went well , to a 238 yard par 3 where I hit a draw to pin where this is exactly what this is made for , this thing is in a word VERY VERSATILE!!!!! ive been using utlilties of late 16/18* and while I thoroughly have a spot for the 16* fourteen or 17* saqra ute. this offers MUCH easier play from the deck . a higher flight with more carry amd simply put an easier club to hit, so as far as I can see this will have that spot for a while. as an aside, the shaft........................ it simply doesn't get any better. only 1 game into this but hit it allover the ground yesterday and its a keeper ++, makes the last wood spot optional with a driving iron or a 14/15* 2/3 wood. can take the 3 and 4 irons out now with this. got some re thinking to do bag wise bec ,this just changed things up .

.

cmon bud u gotta.toss pics.up as much as we known ts a total waste of time .and.effort ,we all hate it but its da rules . or this place if it isnt already wil become lord of the flies.

well, this is a new twist... dont disagree with it at all max exposure without having to do multiple posts.

Ahhhhhh , , good write up , if id read this 3 weeks ago when I was after set of irons for a friend. ( I eyed these irons off and a set a cpl of yrs older I think ) and liked both of them (for him), but I went with the onoffs instead, as id not hit either it was a flip it moment and the onoffs got the nod but reading this, back then, I prob wud have gone this route instead, alas such is golf I guess................., so little ( read NONE, ) contributions here any more . Its a ghost town. mush as i ahte to say it , honestly I think the whole JDM golf forum thing is done. sad but true.

.

pop up your findings sir... I am strongly considering the exo 2 ball. had a roll with it yesterday. and I like it... just cant see any difference to the forged one tho form a cpl of yrs back. that I think has a much nicer feel.......

why did u let them go nobs ?

anyone game these ? if so pls give me some feedback, eyeing these VS the fourteen 920s so tough to split but the smallest of gooseneck on the foruteens is leading me to these.. its UBER tight but I think these cud be it, thoughts pls folks........

hmmmmm ... yes as I said the idea is good but the product isn't what WE here expect to see/play. as disappointing as it is materials wise, the putter ( the eagle model) really does work well its tough to love Nobs,, but it does a good job.

. .

like that shaft.. its tight.

well ......, it depends on your swing path, ive spent yrs going from a fade push swing where a closed head was good for me to a " baseball style hit it over left field swing for more power" swing and ifi use a closed head now its pretty much game over for me left side if I don't hit it well. I tend to really hook it and as we know......... you can talk to a slice , but a hooker wont listen. and even with the best of shafts it still goes too left so I really have to aim right to make the ball centred. its tough to do consistently. so that's why I have gone back to square. that way my misses are equal. a slightl y stiffer shaft makes the dispersion tighter but I loose some distance, which im ok with

yes, and no, not the new rose one but the original blade shape axis 1, ive had had that in play for several years and had 2 of my all time best putting days with it. it does what it says, its totally face balanced so the only mistakes it makes are by the user. unfortunatly its made of very cheap looking steel and the finish doesn't hold up very well. and feel is pretty ordinary BUT.................... results are results and this delivers, when I play monthly medal rounds I still use this bec quite simply its given me the best results of all, it just looks like a cheap bike frame and not what were used to seeing in terms of quality. so I benched it. the directed force is new and I didn't game it , only had it on the practice greens, I really liked it eventually ......, it took a little while to get used to the slant forward of the shaft and grip but you can adjust it to any shape that fits ur swing best. I was caught between 32 inch and 36 inch both of those worked equally well. the head has a unique feel...... of the two f them I think id prob go for the axis even tho I like the head shape of the directed force better and it really rolls the ball straight but I found distance control a little inconsistent but ive only had the one sessionwith it so it doesn't mean a thing really. im confident if I got one it wud perfrom extremely well, especialy if like I, u don't mid those sort of heads. the axis distance control is as good as anything ever IMO, bec its a bit lighter and it plays like a blade putter. but with more forgiveness when u get hot with the axis u can get really ,really good results . hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm you might just have spiked my interest again In the direct force...................

saw those. they were close but the winner was the 2012 onoff 247. lovely looking heads. big open face , pocket cavity, MINIMAl offset thick top line, tall head with plenty of room to miss the centre and a semi thick sole. cud easily play these myself. great set of shimada 7001s as well. heck of a set up I think. didn't relasie the conundrum faced by the masses is chossing a set of clubs, irons were a bit tought but the driver was ridiculous, I mean u have sot sift thru tousands of similar heads , then try and match a shaft... I was looking at the stock off the shelf ping g400 with diamana 60s, that looked insanely easy to hit but the price for a used one at 45k was rediuclous!!!!!! so I settled for a 2000s mid teens onoff 9* driver with roddio tataki 40 s @ 303 grams 45 inch, 9* to keep if from ballooning and the light but stiff shaft to keep it on the short stuff more oft than not, I predict this will be used for a year then hell move into a bit more oomph. fairways were simple: 16.5* egg spoon and 21* egg 7w and a big old royal collection sw. looks like a heck of a set for the beginneresque.

its a beauty. they might have sold out thi this is a cpl of seasons ago..

come back to the dark.side .. you will never be bored.. got a nice set of honmas with ur name on em!
