  2. Loop GK shaft...

    in Japanese Golf Clubs

    Posted

    Just stumbled upon this thread here...will lend my thoughts. I have played the IP since it first came out, as a fan of mid 70 gram shafts, as soon as the specs were released it caught my eye immediately.

    I probably prefer a slightly stiffer butt section for whatever reason, and this IP features that in both the tip/butt. They definitely are a smooth feeling shaft, I have always been more of a fujikura guy as opposed to the mitsubishi shafts; my favourite of all time was the fujikura tour-spec 771TA which was a tour only shaft, similar to the og 757 but with a weaker tip and stiffer butt.

    Anyways, back to the loop, I will re-iterate what nobs has said, smooth and they definitely have a weighted feeling to them compared to what the specs say, its hard to explain...

    Yea... I was wondering where new TRPX, Crazy and Fire Express shafts were. I saw somewhere else about some new brand too, Virus-something... Elite is releasing corded grips too. JBeam had two new heads I think.

    JP wedges look like gaudy gimmick to me.

    Crazy has released a couple shafts in the past month or so, dubbed the "shooter" TRPX also just came out with the "afterburner" which is going to be in the 50gram range, and of course quadra/fire express has the new "hotrod" which is there entry into the 50gram range, but there is also a 60 available... and the newest released the prototype v (5) "full throttle"

     

    I am curious where you saw the elite cord grips, any info or pics or where I can see some info on them?

     

     

  5. 3 iron - Need something to compliment the Kyoei Prototype MB's

    Posted · Edited by 604_skyline

    So I am finally going to get a set of the kyoei prototype mb's through Chris and the online store here, just wondering what everyone would do with regards to a 3 iron? I am actually pretty happy with the way the kyoei's are lofted with the constant 4* between the 4iron through PW, but I still need a 3 iron...I would prefer a players/athlete style cb, but need it in the 18*/19* range to fit the lofts....

    anyone have any ideas? something from miura perhaps? i am open to ideas here....

    maybe the 3 iron from either the new tour b x-bl combo's from bridgestone or the 3 iron from the new honma tw747v might work they are both 20* but could be bent 1* strong for sure, mabye 2 to get me to 18*

    nob if you want 460, why not the new baldo which is named after the one from a couple years ago, talk about confusing....but the new competizione 568 strong luck, seems to be right near the top in all the blogs....i know its dat55g as opposed to the SP face that you prefer but still....

    Nob,

     

    Do not want to clutter your thread, but I see in the post you made selling the drivers in the b/s/t you mentioned wanting to try some new heads, care to share what those are? and what is on your radar in terms of drivers you have in mind of wanting to try? new Jbeam J3 tour perhaps?

  12. Fujikura Daytona Speeder

    Posted · Edited by 604_skyline

    I came across this the other day on one of the ameblo blogs; while it is about 10grams lighter than my preferred weight (I like something in the mid 70's) Add me to the list as well for wanting to give it a go. I know mitsubishi seems to be the tops for most on the PGA, but I always keep gravitating back to Fujikura for some reason (the new ventus is supposed to be very nice as well, just a little too stiff in the tip for me I think)

  15. My 2019 Golf Resolutions

    in Japanese Golf Clubs

    Posted

    my resolution is going to be on the equipment side of things, i would like to get down to one set bag for say the next "X" amount of time....

    one driver (up for suggestions)

    3 wood (i will decide on my own)

    irons (have made up my mind and will finally order a set of the new Kyoei Prototype MB Irons)

    wedges (i am set with and have multiple new sets to break out)

    putter (again will finally decide on what exactly i want and go with a custom Benock)

    Chris,

    can you talk about the different face options, I have seen various milling options on the face, can you shed some light on the differences?

    secondly, can you talk about the difference in the "anser" style head shapes; chirico, anila, andra,easpade type B

    finally you mentioned the 009M (masterful above) would it be possible to get the original 009 head shape, which is quite a bit different from the 009M, which scotty will only make now, you can not get an original 009, which many of the tour cameron freaks prefer.

    anyway i will send you an email, as i would like to order one sooner rather than later...leaning towards either a chirico or anila....could they do a chirico but with a tri sole like the anila?

    this is an anila, correct?
