  2. Wedges...

    in Japanese Golf Clubs

    Posted

    Another great write up, Nobs. 

    I always used Miura wedges and still have most of them, could never sell even the worn out ones, so I'm with you on your love for those. Tried most of the wedges you mention, with the exception of the Modart. I learned the short game first, and still practice it more than anything else in my game. I SLEEP with wedges...!

    And then the A-Grind showed up. I haven't looked back since.It gives me the scalpel-like control on short chips and pitches that the Miuras used to, but it also feels better on longer approach shots, more controlled even when adding swing speed. And out of sand, it's just hot knife time. I've had them refinished in burning copper, but even raw, I love them. Just curious if you've ever tried them... 

    I should also say that when I got the set of the Seven MCB irons, it's the first time I've ever incorporated a set's wedges into my bag. Both the Pitch and Approach wedges in this set are scary easy to control in all different circumstances. If Chris ever offers a sand or lob MCB, I'd definitely give those a go, too. Still the only set of irons that has stopped me cold from even thinking about anything else...

    Agree things seem to be going through a weird, very slow phase...   Don't know about you guys, but I've sort of hit a nirvana stage with my current setup. Have never been so satisfied for such an extended period as with my current bag. The Seven MCB's continue to just kill for me. And I'm even not swapping out putters with changes in cloud cover, I love the Benock so much... <g>

    Doesn't stop the fact that I agree there is some great stuff up here for sale, and obviously a great time to snatch it.

    Have fun on your travels, B.

    I had the Red-X too (still have the head cover and the hat, which I get offered $$ for...). But agree with you about Benock  instead. Either this time with my Benocks is the longest honeymoon ever for me or I've finally found Nirvana. Nothing compares for me anymore. 

  16. RLL BEAST FOR SALE: JBEAM BULLET w/ Seven Dreamers

    in Buy, Sell, & Trade

    Posted · Edited by RLL33

    SOLD  ***   BEAST FOR SALE  :   JBEAM BULLET  driver with Seven Dreamers shaft    ***    SOLD

     

    This thing has snarled at me from my office closet for too long. It wants to be let out.

    It's THE beast from JBeam: high toe, compact, laser etched face, and mint. It's been hit less than the number of fingers on your glove.

    The Seven Dreamers shaft was made for me, and has never left my possession. It's 60g in the S/R flex low-to-mid trajectory profile -- an intentionally interesting combo with the higher loft head, which is 11-deg .

    So the howitzers it sends out are mid-flight despite the the higher loft head, and the result is easier to control penetrating LONG blasts that have enormous roll out.

    I won't separate the head from the shaft, so please don't ask. I'd rather keep the whole thing than change this experiment in configuration which is looking for somebody who will appreciate and take care of it.

    It's the original head cover and the grip is the Iomic Art Series Sticky Opus. Length plays to 45 1/4".

    More like probably transferred to the Bloviator forum, where he'll be right at home. 

    Getting back to putters...

    I haven't rolled a TL, but I admire what he can do looks-wise. 

    RE: Benock

    I've never rolled anything with more exquisite feel and responsive action. The Easpade S beats every weight combination Scotty I've ever tried over 20 years. The Sandila makes the Zen feel like a child's toy. And my favorite, the Seven Pantaleone, beats the Yamadas I still have and love. Anyone fortunate enough to try these will immediately, and without bias, know precisely why Chris favors them. 

    And I do mean precisely. Because that is why I come to this forum and do business with TSG.
