thats an interesting way of winning an debate. Censor the other guy :) I dont suppose this post will make its way onto the board so adieu to this forum and TSG.

I believe what you described there was a tennis racquet... Haha, sigh.. yes industry standard for oh so many reasons - cheaper, easier, inexpensive componentry, rapid assembly Im confused why a forged club cant heavily weight the toe and heel. Sure an oversized forging could weigh a great deal, but I dont think the discussion was about oversized irons. Simply irons for the mid-capper looking to tighten up the game. In which case dispersion is absolutely synonymous for forgiveness. Multipeice irons are junk, they allow people to cover up the flaws of an ugly swing by strapping a trampoline to a stick and letting a crap swing produce indifferent results. Get some clubs that provide feedback and consistency, then work on your game and improve. Do the work gents... on the range.. No agenda here either..

The argument just doesnt hold. It makes no sense that a n-peice iron for any n >1 could ever outperform a 1 piece forging which has been hammered multiple times. The temperament which is achieved by heating, hammering, heating, hammering produces a tighter molecular density for a more consistent shot dispersion for both the low and high player

i also think the "dont have the technology or know how" is a little hilarious.

Seconding the KM-0107 and RC BBDs

obnoxious may have been overkill... but its one of the worst toplines for a forged JDM design I have seen. Not as bad as some of the garish stuff they sell in the states

exhib a: http://www.miuragolf.com/passingpoint-PP9003.asp - have you swung it? exhib b: http://www.miuragolf.com/shop_mc102.asp - classic iron for the 10-15 HcP - I.E. game improvement

oh - or for some outside the box thinking - KZG makes a great set of tour cavity backs. http://www.kzgolf.com/sites/courses/layout9.asp?id=588&page=37679

God we get it.. epon epon epon epon epon epon. Break the monotony - get a set of Yururi, Miura, or even yamaha and you will be a happy man. Im with (Supo) I think it was - who was just selling his Epons, Ive tried and tried and they jsut dont work for me, and to be completely honest.. I can hit most clubs so long as they are half decent.

.... Im sorry.... Thats just false. I dont really have much else to say on that front.

http://www.golfshaftsasia.com/miura/mc-102.php That is the top line on the 102 cavity back from Miura - not a muscle back. I dont like how the finish in the impact area extends to the top-line. Im not sure what you mean either - I suspect we are seeing things differently which is natural. Anyway - doest suit my eye AT all. But it could be somebody elses favorite. W/e suits your eye..

next time im in japan we must play a round then hit up some scotch :D

nice sounds like some good stuff. I find those malts to be a peaty, they almost mask other flavors - but then I know lots of people who can down through the peat and unlock at the flavor. My standard right now is a Benromach 21y/o from speyside, delicious honey with a touch of smoke. Get around to a bottle of 18y/o yamazaki when you have the chance, it won a fair number of awards at the international spirits festival. Definitely I high quality malt. Its basically a sotch malt from Hokkaido :)

no problem, be sure to tell us how it goes :)

#1 - Its THICK #2 - Broken into 3 Visible sections making it feel busy #3 its rolling, it isnt a smooth line from front to wake it peels off at the toe and why would you apply the same finish to the topline as the face? Why the unnecessary bending and odd thickness... here is a proper topline for a cavity back http://www.golfshaftsasia.com/images/miura/mc-102-03.jpg

This is my favorite club, I love everything about it, its adress, the weight, the buttery feel of a forged putter, the deep grinding, for me it is perfection in a golf club. Irons can be replaced with something better, drivers come and go... but this putter I cant imagine replacing. I bought two just to make sure I always have one in case god forbid something happens to my gamer. anyone else play one of these?

Whether it be a fine Islay, Highland, Lowland (gag) or even the under-appreciated Japanese Yamazaki single malt. If you are a lover of the single malt or scotch whiskey in general - this thread is for you. List your faves, what you currently have stashed in the house or in a decanter on the office desk. Lets hear it?

lol ant you should start a realitytv show and be Dr. Golf, and take all of us club hos to rehab, start by making us keep the same set of clubs for more than a weekend... i think the trauma of one set for life would be enough to end my life on the spot.... which I suppose would in effect complete the goal of one set for the rest of my short and regrettable existence...

that is a sexy driver, but damn... those irons have the most obnoxious top-line i have had the misfortune of seeing in ages... Everything else is nice looking though. Something about the putter just looks unfinished to me... smooth face is a bit odd

Gocchin have you thought about moving into the endo factory floor, or just marrying an endo employee, or getting endo tattooed on your forhead in big letters :) its a love affair ;P

Alright, Ill take some normal wedges out and hit some shots, and take the chipper-thing (we need to establish a name for this!) out and see how it goes.

Definitely I was thinking ill do a review - maybe even make a video, do a comparison of playability around the greens with PRGR r55. If anyone else is interested, let me know and Ill get out there and do it sometime next week.

well said :) equipment is 5% of the battle... tops.. if anyone disagrees - I guarantee you Tiger, Phil, or Choi would wipe the course with you using some old wooden clubs and tire irons

Those are beautiful. I tried a blend of wedges before, but for me its like having an iron set. I need consistency in feel throughout the "class" of club. But as always - w/e works for you. They certainly are gorgeous! Cheers!

I think you will be pleasantly surprised, Miura-San has the "hands of god" and when he sets out to make a forgiving Iron he definitely achieves it. Miura isnt content with forging a highly forgiving cavity back he backs it up with a forgiving grind. I think you will be delighted by the balance between crisp impact and buttery forgiveness in this iron. From the sound of things this is the Iron for you. Disclaimer!!: I am NOT a miura fanboy, Im happy to bag w.e. works. Endo forges some amazing Irons, and OnOff and PRGR make some ..interesting clubs. (IMHO PRGR makes the fairway woods on the market - period). But for a game improvement player who wants to try some premium JDM gear- Miura.... Q.E.D. ;)
