Need help on choosing new shaft. Bangvoo Vs MAtrix TPHD
I've been gaming the BangVoo for many months now. Love it, It's not the stout 787 like stew but the standard model 260 cpm stiff spec. Tatsuro also games the 787 stiff in a Jbeam 10* head. He is a 9* X-flex kinda guy and his 10* stiff flex combo kills everything.

Utility shafts
my thoughts are: steel = lower trajectory, heavier balance, more harsh on joints, more accurate graphite = more expensive, higher trajectory, easier on body, more distance I go with steel if I feel cheap but graphite especially high end graphite is the way to go. Tour AD and Crazy would be the best route.

The EGG and the TEE XCG-3
I think it's apples to oranges. the tour edge is a hybrid, the egg well I'm not sure if we can even compare that to a normal FW. my opinion ( I have not hit the tour edge ) is the Egg will smash it when it comes to distance and forgiveness. Spin I can't comment on but I think the Egg is pretty boring.

Fake Epon 502s floating around..
these fakes have a CNC milled cavity versus a forged pressed cavity direct from the original tooling. Endo doesn't CNC mill the design of the back cavity.

Crazy utility stiff
I too would like to try some crazy shafts in my FW's and UT woods.

Yonex 380 driver - The verdict
The 380 feels great, distance is decent, shape is amazing. I don't think it has the best distance but it's a good value overall. +1 on the Yonex steel fairways, that and the new Akira are tops when it comes to traditional type woods.
-
JDM 3 Wood ... Which one?
PRGR Egg Spoon for pure distance. Akira M215 for best all around FW.

2012 Yamaha Inpres X ??
Ah, gotcha! It is a Tour Model, It looks like it packs more meat lower on the club head than its predecessors. We already have people lining up for these after this post was made. I find these to be very different compared to the 11's and wasn't expect such a drastic change as in the past Yamaha has made more subtle changes to the tour model irons annually. As usual look to bogeydog for first impressions when released as he is always the first to receive his from TSG

EPON AF152
the AF152 is a solid setup, soft feel and very forgiving make it a top pick. If spin is your concern Jbeam makes some that while maybe not as forgiving it will fly dead straight with a decent swing. I also like Ryoma's spin attributes as well.

You guy's think these could be the non tour models for 2012?

Crazy Steel shafts user feedback??
I've got the dark colored 120g in stiff already. I just haven't figured out what heads to stick on them.

What Tour AD shaft is this?
sorry I don't know for sure.

What Tour AD shaft is this?
actually today he is using his orange DJ shaft, I asked yonex what shaft the white one was, they sent me a video of him swinging the DJ series in orange just a few hours ago from their cell phone.

Akira Fairway Review 18* and 21* - First 36 Holes
The Akira UT is along the lines of the TourStage XUT and ONOFF Labo Spec Fairway Wings, These all fly low have a mid trajectory and a very deep face.
-
Royal collection D/S 11.5* + 13* arrived...........,
The 13* should be a bit easier to hit, the 11.5 lower. I'm not using it enough, max is twice a round. Sometimes depending on the course zero. look for it in the next inventory sale.
-
Lie angle??
I always fit to the basics when I know I will be playing a set for an extended period of time. The 5 basic's are: Loft/Lie/Length/Swing Weight/Grip Size if your specs are spot on and you have the right shaft your pretty much set.

Mizuno Mp t-11 Wedge
this would look good done custom.
-
Akira Fairway Review 18* and 21* - First 36 Holes
I'm considering a 3,5,7 combo of these with DJ-8 shafts. Tatsuro and I thought it was the best FW period. The yonex 13* steel is another hot one but this particular akira is unreal.
-
Jdm driver
If you guy's like right on the edge cor on the verge of illigal try Akira, its not produced in Japan but it's super hot, same deal with the wedges.
-
Jdm driver
my guess is that they are just very good designs made with good materials. Both drivers mentioned are also pure designs no fluff or things to tinker with. It must be fun for you to have those two heads they are very different yet both lots of fun. 152 is underrated i think. And your FEX, those are some nice sticks.

CRAZY 460 vs ryoma VS jbeam
Your awesome stew, that crazy is exactly as you describe. I gamed it with several shafts, longest drives ever were with the super high launch LY01 hot. way too high. CB46 leaked a little right for me half the time, while the good ol CB50 was solid! I always have a weird desire for the jbeam 425 tour in 11* with a half degree closed face angle. I think that would be a good trajectory on a very tight flight. I can't see me getting off of Ryoma/Muzzik anytime soon.
