I've done the whole graphite putter shaft thing a couple of times. It's all about feel, they make the head feel heavier in some cases and soften vibrations with no loss in accuracy.

Looks more of a shaft issue if its trajectory at the very end.

I can agree with that. I'm not sure why though and I wouldn't say it only applies to blades. I had a set of Epon 502's made in black that felt much more harsh than the plated version. Same goes with some of the Miura's I've owned. Black looks the best, Copper feels the best, and Plated is in the middle with no wear.

The AFT's are some of the most forgiving blades out there no doubt. I don't think your ho'ing has been cured though, it may just be getting started..lol

I've never tried it maybe T can chime in here.

Yup exactly as Channa says Out of this World! I have one in an Epon 902 hybrid. High and dead straight all day. On a day with no wind it's key, with wind it still flies pretty straight considering its mid/high launch. I'll be posting a review Tatsuro did on that combo on facebook in a day or two.

Not much better than the VG3's and the Yamaha V-Forged. The Yamaha's do have a tad of offset but nothing too wild. Very forgiving for it's size and with superb feel. The VG3's OMG fantastic. I will go out on a limb and say THE BEST iron Titleist has ever produced. Very little offset. the top line isn't the thinnest but it totally inspires confidence. Of course the Epon 302's are classic. Everything mentioned above has stand out forgiveness relative to their size.

WOW! Nice Find!

1025 & S25C is the same stuff just different names. Now if it's made in Japan I call it J.I.S (Japan Industry Standard) S25C which means it has a better mineral make up. Nothing that we could really feel but it's nice having the piece of mind that its produced to a higher standard. Yea I saw that as well. To me that means made in China and assembled in Japan.

Hey Kevin, Thanks for the kind words man. In the next day or two we will be adding the Tour & PRO green label Shimada shafts. They are still made in Japan just shipped from the UK instead of Japan. I will be posting a topic on their bend profiles and the differences hopefully tomorrow.

It's actually a european company that is distributing Shimada in the USA. Tour & Pro are basically different specs than the Japanese Shimada shafts. We can get both.

The new JPX Forged 800AD is made in China. I miss the original made by Endo.

It's better to buy it from us anyway. We can get you custom built heads from Kamui to your spec.

The Tours are smaller than the 302's. I think the standard V-Forged falls between the 302 & 502.

If your single digit with great ball striking "consider" Tours. There is a noticeable difference in forgiveness and just think that JPGA pro's get along with the non Tours just fine.

Yes that was! We've sold a couple of those honma sets over the last 10 years. 57k is full retail. Our customers got a BIG discount..ha ha One of the guy's gave the set away. The other still plays them and swears by the performance. I think much of it's about braggin rights. In regards to food, Kobe isn't confirmed the best. There are other prefectures that have the same claim. 160 for 8oz is low end in Japan. 600 for 6oz is starting for A12 top grade Waygu, but the speaker was exactly right that its very hard to finish due to richness and oil. I made the mistake of ordering 2 at the Oak Door atop the Grand Hyatt in Roppongi Hills. It was so fatty and amazing we couldn't eat much more and requested a box to take it to our room. They said no... The food is not to leave the restaurant. We did our best until we were sick. Ended up tossing the rest. Sad. I regret! Also he barely broke the surface on Truffles. In france it gets much more expensive and intense. If we think that countries like Japan and France send us their best stuff we are delusional. They keep the best for themselves. I loved how the brain reacts to luxury. It actually changes the experience we have. To me life is all about that creating the best experience be it in your own head or in the perception of others. TOTO. Love it. Once you go TOTO you don't ever want to use a normal Toilet..lol

This Exactly ^

Looks like you mean Epon right? They go on a different schedule than most OEM's. Don't want to get your hopes up. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

RM-11's are user friendly, they perform well, not the best feeling but still no slouch in that dept.

The new 2013 Boxster. Coming Summer 2012. I liked the new version of the 911 aka 991 just released with its bigger wider body and new tech b ut I actually think this new boxster looks even better. Can't wait to see the Cayman.

Great Post B, Players who don't have the good consistency tend to benefit from flexes that are overly stiff for them as it keeps the ball in play. I think that for the golfer who is able to make adjustments and knows their swing well can see some sort of performance improvement by going a bit down in flex. For me a softer shaft also feels much better and when I get into the groove it becomes even more accurate.

Your ride looks amazing. I don't think you could have put it together any better than its been done now!

In my Ryoma + Royal Deco I have had my best distance yet but dispersion is a little wide for me. I'm back to the Muziik. Distance is just slightly better than average but I can rely on straight shots most of the rounds. I think the dispersion of the Muziik + the forgiveness of the Ryoma equals very reliable drives.
