Hey buddy! I actually have two of them! After I cracked the face on my original 435 I bought back-ups for all my favorites! I’ll have a look at the Diamana, thanks!

Family came and the golf game (as well as the gym) got put on the shelf for the last 5 years. I no longer have the swing or the strength to play my favorite monster builds, a heavily weighted jBeam Bullet or 435 on my custom Seven Dreamers. I really need to build something with a normal swingweight instead of F0, lol. I've moved up a tee box and am bouncing drives into bunkers that I used to fly over from the tips so my goal is to find as much extra distance as possible with my new gramps like swing speed (probably 95mph range) If any of the other OG's remembers me, I still play a hard draw with misses to the left. So I need something that isn't draw biased like the majority of JDM drivers. I've narrowed my interest to 4 heads so far, the jBeam KZ-5 (because I love jBeam heads), the Jigen eRook II, the Geotech GT 9, and Progress BB6. As far as the shaft, I also need something lighter so was thinking something in the 50-60g range. I'm very interested in trying the Loop or Zinger shafts but was also recommended to try the Vanquish. Looking forward to any input and thanks!

Any CB pics?

If I can get that much, maybe they are for sale! Lol

That’s why I’m afraid to sell mine. I don’t want to end up here looking for them again! GL!

If I was home to pirate it for free I would but I’m not paying to watch golf unless I’m on 16 at the Phoenix Open. Actually I don’t even pay there. I guess the short answer is no.

I can’t stand a plumbers neck. They’ve driven me away from many a nice putter. This is much nicer!

All my putters have cabretta Gripmasters and I only play the Taylormade TP5x so those variables are solved for. Any help with the comparisons between SS and carbon steel?

How does SS feel and sound compared to carbon steel? The only SS head I have is an old Beti but it has a copper insert. For you putter hos, if the Epon Zen is my Holy Grail for feel and sound, what might I like/dislike about a Benock? Is the JSS upgrade purely for bragging rights or are there noticeable differences? (I’m not asking if it’s better or going to make me better, I’m more than willing to pay for subjective differences if they appeal to me)

That was my plan for this year until my father got sick. I’ll get over there again, not sure when...but it will happen!

Nice Nob! I’m trying to work out some specs on a Benock right now. I’m asking for some unconventional modifications and I’m not sure if we’ll get there but I’m hoping.

I vote unique!

I also sold my Maru wedges and it took a while to find replacements. Lost money on that bit of idiocy.

With as much pure ugly as there is nowadays in the modern putter world, I actually like the shape of the MM...and this is coming from a guy who’s gamer and favorite style putter is the Epon Zen.

Nice!!

How’s the face angle? As closed as all their drivers?

Is this the newest version?

If the Marus did have an actual finish, mine is long gone. Even so, and as you said, they’re not the best feeling.

Make it 4, 5, and 6 while we’re at it!

With all the talk about 99.3 Fe being pure and feeling better, my Marus were definitely some of the best performers but they were also some of my least favorite “feel” wedges.

That all makes sense. When the MBs and CBs look so similar in size and shape and spec with the same lofts, lies, and offsets, you can see our eagerness to think these would match well.

The website lists FP as identical. Is that not the case?

I have the Protos, not the new KK...but I’m still confused as to why the CBs wouldn’t blend well with either MB.

Thanks Nobs! I’ve had a chance to play around with the Miuras but somehow the Epon SUS are a head that has never made it’s way to me. Having owned most of the cult Epons I’m not sure why these didn’t do anything for me. I think maybe they just came out when I was deep into blades or I got tired of Epon’s insistence of moderate amounts of offset. Anyways, I had no idea these were that soft, maybe I’ll have to reconsider. I have to agree with you about heavier steel shafts bringing out the best in forged heads. My iD-BLs with Modus120 X are the best feeling club I have. And there’s honestly not even a close second. The weight is the only explanation I have for an X flex shaft feeling better than any of the S flexes I typically play.

Well I’m thoroughly confused. Going by the specs and few pics, they look like they’d be a perfect match to make a combo set out of. I understand if they won’t be sold that way but I was thinking about buying the CBs and shuffling them in with my MBs at my leisure. I guess I’m missing something here...
