supo

just an aside, I shafted the 21* with a diamana stinger 70xs instead of the modus , just to see .. best decision ive made. first game with it on sat. 200-220 yards not a problem.. in fact it was a bit longer than I thought it was going to be flew 2 bloody greens with it . feel is a trillion times better than with the steel, but it does move about a bit more than with the steel. wont change the steel bec its a lok for the tees on par 4s.. both serve a great purpose. think these will/may..... take over ALL my spots for woods this season.

hhah58 that's great.! mine is simple.... give myself a FGHTING chance all the time .., ie... don't leave the ball short on putts that lower the score!!! I must have blown 50 thousand chances inside 10 feet last year. ahhhhhhhhhhhh such is golf!

lock her uoppp shes gomeski

phoooar. speechless

great info cheers

give it a whirl fella I really doubt ul be disappointed.

took both the astro tours out on the weekend. the version 2 is an absiolute beast. Tbh a harder or rather faster swinger than I shud have this set up, I can activate it but JUST, theres so much more in the tank that my methodical swing doesn't utilize to the full , its a howler of a club , truly. by comapirson the verion 3 is a like a placement driver, I can shape that nicely . not a lot but more tan th V2. im really really liking playing this last cpl of weeks. last wekeeend I was on song with it big time. so much confidence with it now. head shape suits a course with twists and trnrs from the tee box. I wudnt take it out on a 7300 yard behemouth , bec theres better suited to that. but for a week I n out driver I like this as much as the ryoma d1

that's a big jump .. if im playing a lot then my tempo gets outta whack, esp. going heavy to light. if I mix and match each day, if its a once a week thing then no probs at all. I prefer heavier shafts, suits my swing tempo better, but in winter ill put the big dogs away and play light and airy and nothingelse, then I can re jig my tempo on range to the lighter shafts. btw NS 105x are a very stable shaft , ball doesn't like to go laterally very much. not the ebst feeling shaft, they are light and thin to hit u kinda don't get that lovely compression guuuuuuuuuush u get with the 130s or 120s.. but I cant falut their play, I played these in sydney a lot this year in ver ywidny conditions and they were a big surprise, normally ill used 120x on masda heads to keep it low, but I took these out with the IDBLs and was most anamoured

I have last 2 models.. they are very aggressive on spin, thin bottom line makes for a real ability tio zip em, they a live back home now where its a bit sort, they aresueprb on tight lies... cant wait to get hold of these next season.

wowsah.............. had a demo of these on the weekend funkiest cavity in ages, look superb, balance is awesome wide round sole, versatilile, but they come in small compact head at address.. very different look from front to back. oh and sorry they rip the bejuseeeeeeeeees out a the ball. spin is SUPERB. next set up for me for sure!

stock, what ever matches 37.875 inch 5i. yea i guess

Definitely lighter shafts that launch higher simply bec golf strength is lower in winter than summer i m slower and need extra help to hit it high to land softer on rock hard greens. ns 125s to ns 105x works a treat for me

.

shimada x are VERY stiff/boardy. if u have soft heads .then awsome. kyoei haeds might not feel as good as we can build. miz/epon/ onoff. ohhyea, even miura sb01s were ..... thouhjt provoking with shim x shafs... think well

taking 1-1.5 inch off the butt vs tipping a shaft will do what exactly ?? ie driver plays 46 to 46.5 inch ,don't want to cut the tip bec is SO good as is ( 2010 shingo labospec) but icant get the fookeeeen driver to work bec its only 310 grams @ 46 + inch I keep hooking the bejesus out ofi t, I know its not made for me, shingo isn't a big fella. but I LOVE this shaft and want to just cut the butt 9* head. but not sure if I can, dot want to waste a trip to the builder if its moot. thoughts ??

.......

Nobs report on feel is spot on in my book as well ive got a cpl of sets of 120X and they don't feel at all ike an x. more like a semi stiff at best..... modus 125s are much tighter than 120x I have found and a totally different flight. soft step modus 130x are a GREAT shaft, I have a cpl of them in play at the moment. love them

love what srixon are doing each year . smalls but not insignificant changes to thier mbs. again this year a bit roumder

END of another season of JDM and not 1 POS sepo spam went anywhere NEAR one of my bags. not a chance of that putrid TM mseries whaterver number where up o this month or callies new super spam theory of distribution. Nope only PURE JDM for moi. Nothing new was of any interest driver wise, saw tried a few of them, the new prgr very disappointing... Yamaha is a disgrace nowadays....tourstage doesn't exist....ryomas laterst don't hold a candle to the original D1.....srixon, I mean why??????....... so as it always seems to be, the bespoke makers grab my attention MILES more than the OEMS. roddio did a nice new s-tuning model, jbeam had some ' interesting ideas" but really none can surpass the 435 IMO. freheit did a very nice players 415 cc model.. that's worth a peek.. astro tour v3 is ripper that's prob my head of the year even tho it wasn't from this year... I mean recent years....and the kamui pro tp model is still in the bag as my all carry driver, finding that head hard to compete with let along beat! the astro tour is the only " new" head I kept, none of the others I tired beat out what ive already got. the BIG addition this season was the newer DIAMANA X shaft. its not too unlike the original model from 2013, but its a bit tighter and a lighter feel I find, I spoke to the head techy guy at bishi chem and he said here are subtle differences in the materials *( wudnt expand on that ) and there is a slight perfomramnce improvenment, but none that is easliy quantifiable on course , I tend to agree, the new one feel a bit livelier , the older ones feel a bit more dense and more controlled, the new ones SEEM to give the hitter a sense of added distance , although that wasn't proven in my rounds what so ever but I def fell like im hitting the ball longer with the new model and more controlled with the original model.. if any of that makes sense , its a thing for sure .......... ie if its noice weather id take out the new one, if its windy id take out the old one...its purely placebo im sure... ohg and BTW theyse shafts are MILES better than any other bishi model , tensie etc..... out there material wise... (str8 from the horses mouth!!) X is there top dog and wont be replicated again for cost reasons so bear that in mind . irons...................phooooarrrrr.......... not for me. none of the OEMS even remotely looked good, HONMA disssapointed, prgr was filthy!!!!, I don't even look at bridgestone anymore since they let go of tourstage. Yamaha,see above.... so, MASDA did a lovely set of MB that ill be getting next season, took me a while to like the new modle but I did a siede by side with the lastest MIURA models (yuk!!!!!!!!!!) recently and the masdas blew em all away for looks. The closest was the fujumoto MB but that's a hollow head and a very different beast . So ill be sticking to the old stuff unless something stunning copmes up , but I don't think they will beat in the masdas. that fella does some good things. driving irons/utes , fourteen did a lovely ut716 model ,that literally took over my bag, they wont be for most folk, but they are irreplaceable in my bags now. 17*/21* shafted one with a modus 105 and the other with a diamana stinger saqra ute/ di was a very nice cpl of pieces as well but I prefer the look of the fourteen so they go benched. fairways. nothing to see here at all. nothing beat out the ryoma and prgr egg. wedges..... hmmm nothing here at all as well. putters.. ridiculous, benock was of course the flavour of the year and yes there is a hype abut also the performance to back it. was a beees nudger awy form ordering an ubershlokken early this year only for injury to curtail the order, that will be rectified next year for sure. go get another fitting done to make sure nothing has changed..and hey presto all m y bettis,scottys, can say sayonara. ! so the bags ended up something like this.. perfect day bag : jbeam 435 9.5*/7dreamers kasco FD 12.8*/ diamanan stinger. prgr egg 16.5*/ quadra fire express 75xs or 21* fourteen 716ut/stinger masda (cu) 3/pw / NS 2g18x soft stepped, they have become my fave set. Yamaha raw black 52* gap/ Ns sp orange tourstage x-wedge 51/56 * / NS proto 130x fourteen mt28 60* lw//NS 950s. bridgetsone rs-x balls WINDY day bag : ryoma d1 9* / diamana stinger 70x kasco FD 12.8* / graphite design z9000m 6x. fourteen di 17* / modus 105s masda MB modus 120X Prgr nabla id 51/57 * / NS wv125s yururi 1.618 60* ( bent ) / ns 950s tourstage x01z balls. WET day bag: kamui pro tp 07 10.5* / diamana X 60x buchi 2w 13* / diamana X 70s prgr egg 18* / diamana stinger 70x+ grindworks MB / NS dp X. syard bold 52 + 56 * / monacco X prgr egg balls so that's a 2018 wrap of all things JDM troops. No ral surprises , balls might be the biggest change. loving the yokohaha range this year, PRGR balls are worth a look into , eps the rs spin model, they really do grip and rip. only thing on the horizon is a benock custom and a set of masda mbs for next season that I can forsee. all wrapped up in a new a diamana cart bag. bring on 2019!!!
