  1. These look great at address. It looks like there's a bit too much going on in the back but as long as I don't see it at address, it doesn't bother me.
  2. I'd play up to a 3 iron if they made it. I think this set is forgiving enough for a 3 iron to be added...(at least 4 iron) since they target better ball strikers.
  3. I think this is what Honma needed. A solid looking MB! I think it is the best iron Honma's produced to date. As Chris said, not the softest thing compared to Mizunos and some others, but it is a very consistent and soft feeling head. It's actually surprisingly forgiving (for a mb) and easy to achieve that strong penetrating trajectory! Love!
  4. Agreed... That red dot bothers me, but all else looking good.
  5. I always love Yururi's Tour wedges for spin, but I think they lack in the versatility part. Overall, I like the Vokeys and or Romaro Alcobaca wedges. They are much easier to handle in the rough around the greens. I love being able to hit that soft spinning shots from short range, with the blade open. *For full shots, the Yururi's are crisp and zips back like no other!
  6. So here's a useful chart that explains the characteristics. Vertical Axis on the left and right of chart: The vertical axis on the left shows the shaft's overall flex characteristic. (firmer to softer - top to bottom) The vertical axis on the right shows the swing speed/type the shaft would be most suited for. The higher on the chart means faster/aggressive swingers- lower would indicate slower/smoother swingers. Now on to the two horizontal marks on the bottom of the chart <----> The horizontal axis on the top means "dando" or trajectory. (The far left will be high and the far right will be mid) *notice there is no "low" trajectory shaft here. The second horizontal axis says "imeiji" or image. lol It shows the flight shape the shaft would tend to produce. The far left will be for a draw and the far right will be fade. Quick notes: Hashiri- (means to run or accelerate)recommended for the average player looking to maximize distance and achieve a full and easy release of the club head. Shinari- (means flex or bend) recommended for the player that wants a very neutral shaft. Best in workability in both directions. Tataki- (means hit) recommended for the "hitters" of the ball and those who are trying to avoid the left side of the course. Hope this helps.
  7. I like Titleist, but I think the CB358 is going to kill the VG3 in overall feel and performance. The CB358 made sharper and more compact sounds like something that would stand against the best of the best irons out there...but we'll see. For some reason the new VG3 reminds me of a Humpback Whale when I look at it...
  8. Let us know how it works for you. The combo you got looks like something I'd be interested in putting in the bag myself.
  9. Update: The 950 is gone. Last one was sold today.
  10. Man.. so much going on and hard to keep up. And Collector's item it will be. I like the 3 wood alot. Although, it doesn't go down as one of my all time favorites. It is all around a good club, I like it for the appearance and control it had. And.. sorry for some delays we've had on the shipments. I got in contact with a new rep for SYD today so hope things will star to move out quicker! ;)
  11. I'd like to see the driver, pants, shirt... and maybe hat and shoes and possibly bag in camo go out on the course together. lol
  12. I'm very interested in what they can do with putters... If they can make good putters as they do drivers that'll be an ultimate putter. -side note- still can't get around seeing Beat Takeshi on golf clubs... I always think comedy when I think of the guy.
  13. As we all know, finding that perfect match is an ongoing process... ;) That's part of the fun. The new Gloire looks stealthier and looks more like a "player's' driver than the previous model. IMO. If they only made this head with a square to slightly open face angle... That'd I'd love.
  14. Awesome combination! something on my "to try" list. ;)
  15. It's a sharp look and one of the best looking out of the 2014 launches! I love how it got shorter from heel to toe, as I always thought the previous models were a bit too large for me to put in the bag. Should be getting them in the store soon!
  16. This one's interesting... "Blade with a Cavity" like Chris said... The MB5003 was a good combo of feel and workability, if this one has added forgiveness.......wow..
  17. I'll be interested in having more sessions with this head in a shorter shaft. Although, the long shaft does make it a very fun driver to take to the range. The D7/D8 swing weight on the stock shaft is interesting, it felt like the driver swings itself on the way down! Have a few clients getting their shipments in this week. I'm excited to hear what they think.
  18. The Gloire does have a mean look. Looking forward to what you think. Whether people think its good or bad, I like how it is different in feel and appearance than anything else by TM.
  19. I agree, the I use the shaft as my gamer and can't find anything quite like it. It's been in my bag for a few years now and I don't see it leaving any time soon. I'm also excited about all the new stuff they got. Irons are calling my name...
  20. Great deal! The Egg line of drivers are always fun to hit! Every time I take one to the course ppl ask what it is... It does have a unique look to it. :)
  21. I've always been a fan of RC woods and they are getting my attention again. The new line up looks good, wish the irons weren't so big.
  22. Hi Landy, The 2014 JPX EIII models have a longer face design and has slightly more offset as well. It puts a bit more emphasis on forgiveness than the previous. In the 2014 JPX EIII irons, the lofts are made strong to match the 2013 JPX 825XD, but the new lower CG and longer, slightly shallower face is made to help achieve a high trajectory. The 2014 comes in a forged or "hot metal" (maraging) heads. For those that want to lean a bit more towards feel and those towards distance. The 2014 model is also slightly lighter, maybe 3 grams or so, and has a lighter swing weight C8 for standard setting opposed to the D0 from the previous models. The previous 2013 models included the JPX 825, 825 Forged, and the 825XD (sronger lofts). Basically breaking the models into heads geared for Forgiveness, Feel or Distance. Although, I must say all the JPX line up is pretty forgiving. The 2014 Mizuno offers a stock graphite shaft that is light weight 49gram (r flex) model, compared to the 2013 model with a 53gram shaft. Both are made for a high launch. If you want to custom order other graphite choices, they offer Tour AD, Fubuki, ATTAS, Diamana, and Motore. Feel free to inbox me with any other questions or if you need a quote on a custom order. Tatsuro aka. xerobound
  23. Very nice designs and the cnc'd heads are very interesting. Dont think I can afford a set anytime soon, but I am interested to try them against top forged irons. Very curious on the feel. Serious equipment for serious golfers... with serious money. lol
  24. Romaro is stepping up to the plate. Looks like great looking equipment and accessories. I can't wait to get my hands on the new H irons, looks like one of the few cavity backs that I'd consider putting in the bag. :) They should have a great year... Now I hope they can do a new Muscle Back next.
  25. Royoma Maxima Special Tuning! Oooooh...
