I've been on TSG for a few years now but recently got more active here on the forums. I've noticed that many of the forum members here try all sorts of club looking for the 'perfect' setup :) Being that most here are club enthusiasts and spend good $ on equipment, I find it very odd that almost every single set of clubs sold on BST are built to standard SWs and are not MOI matched. Its pretty easy to spot MOI matched clubs, as most MOI matched are NOT built to .5 inch increments but rather .375 approx increments (makes it easier to build this way). I've been playing MOI matched sets for two seasons now and its hands down far superior than SW matched imho. I've built several sets for myself and friends experimenting with different MOI settings and lengths. Here's my reasoning of the benefits: - All clubs feel the same in a swing. PW or 3 iron. I know that I only have to use the same amount of energy. That brings a heck lot of confidence when you address the ball knowing each club is literally the same! - .375 increments bring the clubs closer together. The long irons no longer feel like 'long' irons. Hitting a 4 or 3 iron feels like my old 6 or 7! Yes, the short irons do get a little longer, but most of us dont have any issues hitting PW and 9 irons. - MOI matched clubs result in a tapered swing weight. For example my sets are MOI matched at 7000 moi and my pw is approximately D4.5 and my 3 iron is D2. Each club goes up in SW slightly as the club gets shorter. This makes a lot of sense. Why do you think our drivers have less SW than our wedges? The entire bag is progressive. - Every round my body and tempo feels different. My theory and experience tells me that its easier to get back to the right feel in a moi matched set on my bad days (starts). Since the entire set is matched your body is configuring shot after shot to match the right amount of energy. I can tell you that before I played MOI matched clubs I use to struggle with the long irons especially the 4 iron. I experimented with driving irons, hybrids, etc. I would use long GI irons and still had trouble in comparison to my mid irons. After the last two seasons playing MOI sets, I must humbly say that I have drastically improved in this area, enough that I put 3 iron blades (crazy mbs) and 3 iron epon 302 muscle-backs in the bag. I can swear that I'm just as confident in hitting a green longer than 200 yards out just as a 160 yard green. To a degree, this is also because I am getting better as a golfer but a lot of credit goes to the MOI matching of my clubs. In the last three months, I have had an usual amount of birdies on par 3s that have been 200-230 yard distances using my 4 and 3 iron. Not trying to brag here at all, but I would not have dreamed this two years ago when I couldnt even get the long iron on the proper trajectory! Last comment: I've become friends with a lot of you here as we share a common interest in this crazy game and appreciate the craftsmanship of these JDM beauties. This post on MOI is just a comment (my opinion) to potentially benefit some of you here if you agree with my statements. I am not trying to start a crazy debate here :) Its worthwile trying an moi set built to you if you havent already. It won't automatically turn you into a pga tour player, but there is an absolute benefit especially long run. Cheers!

I have a 203 3 wood for sale if you're interested

Oh nice. I selected priority express and it was over $100 thanks

Can any of you guys tell me what's the cheapest way to ship safely to Australia from the states? I went to usps and it looks like over a hundred just for a driver head.?!

ok head is back up for sale at a reduced price. Picked up another head and this one has to go!

Not my cup of tea. But I still want to hit it haha

Trying to resurrect the group buy here. My friend and I are interested in ordering a 7d. Think we just need three more!

What is the cb 8.2? I have the cb 50 is it the the cb 80?

Selling trpx Aura shaft in Sx flex. Bought this here from a tsger. It's a great shaft but I prefer a more tip stiff. I'll be posting pics up tonight. Plays at least 45 inches based on driver head insertion depth. Asking $old

Thanks for the offer guys, but I decided to keep the head for now. Market seems really slow right now

Price reduced

I'll take it please

Oh sorry to see that happen. Yea a refinish should put this back to new

first foam head for me. AAA going into this one!

woohoo thanks for some of the deals Nob!

I sent you a note Nob. Thanks!

No sorry. I only have two heads both 9 degrees.

Looking to sell one of my Jbeam blackout heads in 9 degree square face. Comes with headcover. Clean crown with some markings on the face. $old

oh man I want that oldman. Please let me know if you ever decide to let it go

hahah next is 7D !

Yea blackout is very similar. Its the lowest flight head I ever tried. My friends that all play normally 9 - 9.5 degrees in other heads can't get the ball up with the blackout combo I have. I hit it super high, so it works nicely for me. Did you sell your head? I did see in a post of yours that you ordered one with an open face.

oh man, I just got the CB 50 black (white letters) 7.4 and wow this shaft is awesome. Super stable and low trajectory. One of my best driving rounds of the season. Missed only one fairway but still in the first cut rough. Can't believe its kicking my gamer Kuro Kage proto out of the bag! I'm now curious to try other crazy shafts as this was my first. I like this shaft so much more than the TRPX Aura shaft I recently tried. Aura seems to be too soft tipped for my liking. Chris - any thoughts on the new crazy shafts that may perform similar to CB50 black?

What would you say are the differences of how the black and zy11 play, aside from the muted/foamed sound? Do you think the ZY11 is more hotter face, forgiving, straighter, etc? It may be hard to tell since you have a different shaft setup in the two heads, but if you have any insights

oh man, wish this head was open face angle

I believe it comes down to preference and Wrist to Floor measurement. I have really long arms for a 5'9 tall guy, 31 inches WTF measurement. I can play standard length with 5-6 degrees flat. Instead I play about .75 inches short and around 4 degrees flat. I also MOI my sets, so lengths are not .5 inch increments. This way I have shorter long irons and longer short irons
