    WOW! Great, forgiving and feeling irons for a great price there. GLWS. Someone MUST grab these...

    Oh wow D, that would be something special. LOL
  3. Very nice looking irons. Have a more simplified mp-64 look to them. Stunning.

    I like the phrase on the other side of the ball..."never outgunned" :) I haven't been able to find a good compression chart of some of these 2015 balls anywhere (including the new Srixon's, ProV1(x)s, etc)? I would have loved to try the Volvik S3/S4 if they didn't stamp that "White Color" on the ball which is idiotic...

    After seeing the performance of some Vice balls from D, I am grabbing some of their new Pro Plus models. Check them out if you haven't yet: vicegolf.com...

    Haha. Can't wait to read the review!

    :) We are all enablers here. Just make sure you love the head to get the 7D. It would be not only great to look at but definitely a forgiving bomber!
  12. I have a couple 7Ds and expecting another one. They each have absolutely different characteristics depending on their build purpose (standard vs. control) but both are smooth and feel like they just fit. I have been more consistent lately (swing changes too helped) but I can't complain about the distance (I am not the longest off the tee but not the shortest either...) :)
  13. I previously used a 60 both in bunker and around the greens for a while and dropped to a 58 which I can open up easily (flop, bunker, etc). I can see a 64 or 70 being great in a couple situations but would be dangerous as an all-around wedge (and yes, as mentioned earlier in the thread, I have had plenty of 58-open thin shots that go 150 yards on the ground). The grind is interesting and I have no doubt these would be great in a bunker or soft/fluffy lie close to a green, just not sure if it can take a spot in the bag...

    Dude, you are giving the head away at that price. Build a 7D! You have the Roddio & AAA as a backup gamer, get something long and fun for the non-tourny days :)
  15. WOW. Beautiful set. The 503s are LONG and forgiving (and feel great). The MCI shafts are absolutely top of my books. GLWS, what a great set.

    One drill that helped me greatly in both getting my lower body going and working on my angle/plane was to take a swing, stop for 2-3 seconds at top, then start and hit the ball. You are not looking for distance or to build this as a true swing, but to really feel where you are at top, where your shoulders are and how to engage your lower body on the downswing. When I first started this, I had lower spin issues (not like those #s but lower and very shallow angle of attack on my irons). I took a back swing, stopped, and really felt my spine tilt and there was no way on earth I was coming back down that same plane and I mindlessly adjusted during my normal swing (which i could see on video and it was not good). I did this drill for a while and it helped immensely to at least feel where I was and how my attack angle was coming back in to compensate for it. Just something to try. Also, absolutely just do this at the range :) Once you get going though, its useful on course if you feel yourself getting out of sync, you can take some slow strokes, stop at top, then start again as a practice stroke to remind yourself. Just a tip...

    But like everything, probably the Indian behind the arrow...
  18. mpbachman replied to bk24bk's post in a topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
    Perfect. You might want to try to get on a LM with those Which RZN ball did you test with, platinum?
  19. mpbachman replied to bk24bk's post in a topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
    Ok, so, that *might* also have something to do with it, you are pretty much throwing knuckleballs out there :) Maybe try planning with a higher-spin ball and see if that helps? Have you tried gaming a Z-Star or ProV1?
  20. mpbachman replied to bk24bk's post in a topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
    Yikes. Very strange, I have never seen numbers like that before. Is your angle of attack fairly neutral? Just strange, still shocked...
  21. mpbachman replied to bk24bk's post in a topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
    That spin sounds extremely low (to the point where I am not totally sure it is accurate - not to throw a wrench at the conversation). Are you seeing large distance loss on the course (with a 90mph swing and spin like that, I would think you wouldn't top above 220 including roll)? Others might correct me, but I am not sure if those are accurate readings (especially with a slice at 2500 rpm - which most of us would love :)?

    The zero is a great head. I had both a black and white. Careful, the white I picked up was raw and a195g, so check the weight if you want it hot-melted or if it was previously, etc. The white pearl color is fantastic...

    Great shaft, what a steal for that price too!
  24. I am expecting to do a build in the near future, so I should be able to come back with a comparison but I am sure there are others (Nob, Chris) that can also chime in on how it performs and shaft adapters...
  25. ridiculous price on that Modart FW with that type of shaft...
