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!!! -
wedges.howwwwah where to start... tourstage x wedge BLACK, monacco X shafts.

hmmmmm.. had a few sessions with both the RS and tune.. not sure what it was but first PRGR driver headsseries in a long time I didn't grqavitate to. ithink the egg series are so easy to hit that the rs was a meandering away form that line to a more pro eqsue style .. the RS launched REALLY low. but hit very straight. it was a point shoot head for sure but it wasn't a flame on the egg heads for comfort and confidence at address so I never got one.
