Kokkee are you collecting all of the 2011 irons that are available? Lol

Fantastic irons. If it's $1000 then they should have sold already. GLWS

Jeez 1992. In great condition for its age

God damn it that is a great price

Yeah great car Craig. Love the colour, very stealthy. Good choice.

What differences (feel, ball flight, dispersion etc) would be see changing the Kai'li to the X in the Kamui Stew?

Nooooo don't sell it don't sell it!

For those that are interested, here is a quick review of some drivers that I had a short range session with before 18 holes on Monday 13/08/12 with a few other UK TSGers. Chris/Tario - I initially put this review in the Tour Issue and US Domestic Equipment section in the Adams Launch Lab thread, but thought it'd be good for others to read too. We tested these drivers: Adams Launch Lab 9.5*, Diamana X 60 stiff flex. Geotech RF700 Prototype @ spec 10.5*, Project x 5.5 firm flex. Kamui Works Ray 9.75*, Diamana Kai'li 60 extra stiff flex. jBEAM 445HG 10*, Crazy TJ46 nero SR flex. So here is my 2 cents: 1st being my favourite, 4th being my least favourite. Looks 1st, jBEAM - I loved the way this looked, very industrial and mechanical. The craftmenship, fit and finish was exceptional. Face wasn't deep or shallow, inbetween the Geo and the Kam. Crazy shaft is understated but seemed to fit the jBEAM. 2nd, Adams - Lovely looking snakeskin paintjob on the crown, but this also let it down as it didn't have the best finish around the edges of the paintwork. Nice deep face. Diamana X was a bit garish and didn't fit the snakeskin crown on the Adams 3rd, Geotech - Black sole and face looks like a robot. Cool and very stealthy. I like the deep face too. Project x just looks pants! 4th, Kamui - Didn't like the olde worlde art work on the sole. Craftmanship as good as the jBEAM. Nice deep lustrous black pearl paint on the crown too. Not a fan of the shallow face. Loved the look of the Kai'li. Don't know if this was the ION plated version or not but it was the best looking shaft. Feel 1st, Kamui - Best feeling driver I've EVER had the pleasure to hit. A wonderful soft feel, just like a forged iron. 2nd, Adams - Nice feel, obviously helped along by the shaft but a distant 2nd. Probably would be a more harsh feel with a 'lesser' shaft. 3rd, jBEAM - Very close to the Adams. I did struggle to tell where on the face I'd hit the ball though. The face felt a bit harsh. 4th, Geotech - Compared to the other 3 this didn't stand a chance. Maybe if it had been shafted with a Kai'li or X it would have been a lot different but........ Playability 1st, Kamui - Couldn't go wrong with this, either on the range or on the course. I actually hit my longest drive EVER. Didn't want to go left or right, just straight. My ideal flight would be like an aeroplane on takeoff and this seemed to have this kind of launch trajectory. In my eyes it did anyway. Lol. I don't know if it had plenty of roll or not because it went really far so I couldn't see. I thought that the ball was hot off the face, but the sound was a bit too muted for me, like a thump or a thwock (what's that!?!). I would have liked it to be a little louder but not in a 'look at me' kinda loud. Sat square to open at address. 2nd, jBEAM - Slightly lower launch than the Kamui and gave plenty of roll, and it was more moveable left or right too. I just didn't hit it as long but the sound was more 'pingy' which I liked. Sat square at address. 3rd, Adams - As long as the JBEAM but shorter than the Kamui. Higher launch than the jBEAM and Kamui with less roll than the jBEAM. Had a slight tendancy to go even more left and right than the jBEAM so I wasn't too confident with it. Sat square at address. 4th, Geotech - Just went left all day. This sat closed at address and my bad shot is a hook so this was only going 1 way. It didn't help that I had to slow my swing down for the shaft, and that just throws everything out. Maybe the conforming version would be better suited to my swing. NB. I don't know the length or swing weight of any of these drivers as tested, except the Kamui head is 200g. If I was going to game 1 of these excellent drivers it would be the Kamui all day long. I've never hit a driver that went as far as this, was as straight as this and felt as soft. Maybe it was just down to the shaft being perfect for my swing, but whatever it was, this was my winner. 1st, Kamui Works Ray 2nd, jBEAM 445HG 3rd, Adams Launch Lab 4th, Geotech RF700 Prototype My thanks to fellow forum members DaleUK and Ukok for letting me test drive these weapons. Let me know your thoughts/questions. Thanks, Ian.

Stunning looking car. Yours Chris?

You'll always be looking. Lol

Beautiful looking clubs. I'm sure they won't hang around for long. GLWS

I'd choose the red and white pro model that Tario has just highlighted. If not the pro model then the BR.

Jake/Pete, what's not to love about your WITB (except the driver perhaps?). I love the RC woods, they look classy, the blades look fantastic and so do the wedges, the Betty is fab and the bag looks great too. A couple of questions........do you think you'll try a JDM driver, and you 'only' have 13 clubs in your bag, so why no love for a lob wedge? Thanks, Ian.

Don't part ex your Jbeam just yet Dale, wait until after Monday. Lol

The way supo and spoon rave about these on this forum then they won't be around for long. GLWS Ian.

I love reading your reviews supo. When the US OEM's come round my way for a range session, I'm the 1st to sign up to test all their clubs and shaft combos, I love it, but you sir are in my idea of Nirvana, getting to buy/test the best that JDM can offer. Fair play mate. Keep up the good work.

It won't make you any less of a man you know! Lol. I'd feel the same way if someone told me that. I suppose there comes a time where we have to swallow our pride and just accept it.......or it could be a one off and the RBZ just suits you with the regular shaft. You may need to get on a LM just to put your mind at rest.

Yeah I think that's a good idea Dale, and then give me all the Stiff flexes that you don't need. Lol Seriously though, whatever works for you then then go for it. What's your SS? Have you noticed your swing slowing lately or have you just borrowed the RBZ and felt you had to take it easy?

Hmmmmm, I'm intrigued

How much for the WINWIN bag?

Crashes and burns. just like my game! Lol For me and my swing, the Modus seem to get up just a fraction quicker (spitting hairs) than the drawing shows, and this is why I think the SP Orange COULD be the way forward...........or get some lessons

I like the ball flight drawing of the ORA. It looks like a aeroplane on take off which is just what I'm after. Gonna have to try some of those out.

Pictures are working. Sweet looking putter Dale.
