  1. Thanks!! I do take care of my equipment better than how I take care of my car!! ? I just don't enjoy seeing crappy looking clubs in my bag while playing.
  2. Been a while since I posted something for sale. I was experimenting on some driver heads and for now settled on a couple that I like. These excellent heads unfortunately did not pass my taste test. Strictly a personal preference thing. Performance wise, I'd play any of these in my Saturday Men's club outings really. Prices are firm at this point. No more discounting! 1. Jean Baptiste JB 501 Evo Low 9.5deg head only 460cc 9.5 loft , 198g , face angle looks square 9/10 condition This head is very very high end. While made by Kamui Works , the technology used in this head is unique to JB. This JB501 is the Second version which they tweaked the face design based on their monster fairway wood. Retails for 100,000 yen new Comes with a very nice Soft Italian Leather headcover $375 PP net to me +actual shipping cost aywhere in the world. 2. PRGR Tune 02 9.5deg head only 460cc 9.5 loft . 198g , face angle looks open 9/10 condition I really like the shape on this one. Probably on the shallow side but not too big. Really forgiving and goes long. While it has an open face, the ball hits straight. This is the RS equivalent of the RS series. ( not RS-F) Original head cover in mint condition. $200 PP net to me +actual shipping cost aywhere in the world. GONE 3. Bridgestone J015CB Irons 4-PW heads only Endo forged S20C. This back cavity design I believe was the base for the Tour B X-CB irons. These are players cavity back irons, Very sleek at address with thin top line and small offset. Black chrome make the heads appear even smaller. I used this for about 8 months after buying it from another member. there are some chatter marks and a small dent on the 8i leading edge but after I acquired them I had headcovers on them.. No browning on the face but the dark chrome is starting to fade on the face and the sole. Used but not abused. Tons of life left. $250 net to me +actual shipping cost aywhere in the world.
  3. some used sets on YJ Auctions and Rak . but if you are going to get a used set perhaps try a AF 302 or AF Tour CB not much price difference.
  4. .

    You're selling off your Stingers and Dia X's ? I hope you are replacement thiem with something really really good! ?
  5. https://www.prgr-golf.com/product/wedge/18-rs-wedge.html It does say on this page the wedges are "Made in Japan" but who knows these days.... ?

    Those are some awesome feeling irons! I've decided on irons that I am putting together with the Monacos. I shall reveal my new iron set once I actually have them! ? I will say that I chose some heads that "should" feel extremely soft at impact.
  9. If you are talking about the Red Gold colored FEX 65 , aren’t they high launch? bx70 is low launch.
  10. I don’t know... all the Crazy driver shafts that I’ve tried to like in the past didn’t like me back ... if you want a more controlled lower launch with your FW , Fire Express BX70 plays really nicely in an FW. I have an F3 flex in my Modart 3wood and an F2 flex in my 5 wood. Debating now if I should get another one for my driver...
  11. Gotta be careful with the "forged" term for PRGR irons. They use this term loosely. RS forged is not one piece forged. It has a forged body but the face is Chromoly. Similar construction to the previous gen RS forged irons. The wedges on the other hand are full forged.
  12. Maruman Shuttle heads are high launch to start with. Perhaps 6.4 is too flexy for you? Hard to say without knowing your swing style. FW80 is a very good FW shaft. With the right specs, I have had very good experience with it. I have used FW80s with 7.4 to 8.2 flex and all worked pretty well. ( 8.2 was probably a bit much shaft for me. ) Only issue for me is that it is a bit on the light side for an FW shaft. I have a moderate tempo with smooth transition. Driver SS is probably right around 100 mph these days.
  13. I use FEX BX70 in my Modart 3 &5 Woods just under 70g but pretty stout. I get good distance with good stability. Also have Diamana W 80 S , Graphite Design TP8 S in my other 3Ws. A bit heavy than what I should be using but the added weight provide and stability.
  14. What aspect of the FEX UT 100 are you referring to as a “monster shaft?” Is it the weight? Flight? Feel?
  15. nobmontana replied to wedda's topic in Buy, Sell, & Trade
    You previously had the TR500 /Monaco combo that you had sold to Cuistot. He let me test it a while back and that’s where I got the idea!! :). That TR500 combo felt special.

    Was thinking of forgiving cavities like Epon AF 505 or Seven MCBs I have Modus 120 S in my Seven x Shinagawa MBs and I think they are a good match. Monaco’s in the Shinagawas I tried before but did not work out too well.

    Monacos are coming my way. I get a Toblerone too? :) For the last 2 years I have been mainly using 100g to 105g shafts due to a left hand injury that I inflicted upon myself from too much practice!! Earlier this year, I realized how bad my iron game was and went back to heavier steel and PRESTO! the inconsistency in my iron shots magically disappeared. ( well... mostly ) I think I am almost 100% recovered from with my hand issue and thus it made sense to go back to heavier steel shafts. I have now switched back to Modart 120 S , 120 X and 125 S in my iron sets and I just needed to give the Monaco S another shot. I am so happy that I did because with the lighter shafts, I was doing all sorts of unnatural things like flipping and scooping .. you name it. I'm in the process of deciding what heads to use with these Monacos.

    Pm sent on the Monacos. Would like to see pics.
  19. I have one Gold’s and one Benock both made of JIS303. Gold’s has added Tungsten weights and shafted with a Dogatti (I.e. modified ). And my Benock is custom milled to my specs and being used as is, straight out of the factory. Both are awesome feeling putters but ironically, neither get gamed on my Saturday Men’s club events... I have an Odyssey O-Works 7S for that. It’s just an easier putter for me when the pressure is on.
  20. Love all the wild caught Salmon from the region. Very very delicious indeed.
  21. Found this shaft used on a Jean Baptiste driver I found on a Japanese auction site. Described as a Korean made shaft called "Prism" not yet officially released in Japan. It looks like it has sections of the shaft that are asymmetrical shaped and tapered for added rigidity? I think.... It's interesting!. Anyone have more info?
  22. I looked some of them up.... :) What I was shocked to learn was that Cally already used SP700 back in 2009. and you still have one in your collection which means it survived the test of time while many other materials appeared and disappeared. Along with DAT55G, it shows the superiority of SP700 as face material.
  23. ERC is SP700. Kamui is DAT55G , Egg are mostly 6-4 Ti , Epon used KS 100 back then, I think... Ryoma uses some oddball Ti. Not really sure about the others.
