  1. I thought this epon bag below was very decent looking, although I have learned over the years that Japanese "Caddy or stand bags" and are really just big ole tour bags with legs. This one weighs 10 pounds so may not be great for caddies. http://www.ebay.com/itm/EPON-JAPAN-NEW-2012-MODEL-LIMITED-STAND-BAG-BLACK-/170840230375?pt=US_Golf_Bags&hash=item27c6df09e7#ht_2281wt_795
  2. Thanks supo...great stuff all around
  3. Supo: is this the same setup you showed trakman results on from a couple days ago as follow?: kamui pro--p9003x bs--67.4 la-12.1 carry 252.8 dist.- 277.2 Data looks similar to data you show for other JDM drivers, unless of course it was not the 10.5 head(??) Do you have trakman results for new setup?
  4. My fitter did a little teaser fitting with having me take my putter and lining it up with the hole from about 10 feet, then shot a laser from my putter to the hole. To my shock, I was a good 4-6 inches right of the target and I consider myself a very decent putter. Very impressed with what I saw in terms of the fitting process but not quite sure I want to take the plunge for about $550. Anyone go through the Edel putter fitting or own an Edel?
  5. Any love for Epon Copper 208KGX Wedges??

    I love my chikara wedges...first time I've been able to open the face way up and flop it like Phil and with confidence using my 58*!

    Solus wedges?? I still recall the infomercials but have not gamed them in about 20 years. could never get used to how chunky they were. You will love the Chikaras

    Haha! Must take a real man to show up with that combination, because if I ever did, I think it would be the last round my guys would ever play with me.

    The guys in my 4-some would never let me live it down if I owned a head cover like that!
  10. Sooo sweet! I call first dibs on the smooth face one if EVER on BST:)
  11. Gents: would like to get your collective input on this Edel putter and what a fair price would be. Also, I know part of the allure of an Edel putter is the custom fitting process. Am I missing a lot by not doing the fitting? http://www.ebay.com/itm/CUSTOM-EDEL-GOLF-USA-33-PUTTER-GREAT-CONDITION-MILLED-MALLET-WITH-HEADCOVER-/190662342416?pt=Golf_Clubs&hash=item2c645c7710#ht_1792wt_689
  12. Very cool...thanks for the info
  13. Gents: what are the "best" yuyuri irons? I know it depends, but very partial to the KS3001's (not even sure if these are the same as flat backs??) http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEAR-MINT-YURURI-PROTOTYPE-SHIMADA-KS-3001-3-PW-8-CLUBS-JAPAN-ONLY-/120876306972?pt=Golf_Clubs&hash=item1c24ca121c#ht_588wt_922 We have very little info on Yuyuri's in the US...any comparisons out there between different models?
  14. Educate me...what's special about this particular putter?
  15. Great writeup! I'm also considering a set of black yuyuris as a back up to my Epon 502's (although I'd be hard pressed to find something that kicks my 502s out of the bag). Also love my Aerotech steel fibers....for some reason I thought they were not graphite, but rather a blend of graphite core with a steel fiber jacket wrapped around them.

    My wedges...quite literally took a bunch of shots off my game and first time I've been able to flop a shot with confidence. Great wedges!
  17. I was gripping the other days on drives like I was barely hanging onto the club almost to the point where I thought I'd lose the club...must have gained 7-10 yards and straight as heck. I've also gotten into a bad habit with my driver complements of trying to saw off my iron shots which is to stop the swing just after impact. That coupled with the first 3 holes at my club being OB left and fearing the left side of the course. Doing my best now to let the shaft whack my left shoulder on the followthrough.
  18. Definitely stiffer shaft or could be something as simple as a grip change or for me it was grip pressure. I thought my grip pressure was fine...this week my pro conducted a test of my grip in terms of 1-10, 10 means gripping like a gorilla and 1 with hands barely on the grip. Ideal is probably a 4 or so. I was shocked to find out I was gripping more like a 7-8 after the test. Simply starting easing up on grip and voila, no more hooking!
  19. My regular foursome would pull out their respective smartphones while on the first tee to see if the new addition is conforming or otherwise. Then would wait until the round was over to tell me I'm DQd, they win all bets!
  20. I believe 152 is also 1* closed. At least that's what I've been told diff between 151 and 152 is

    7 wood??
  22. No driver?? Blasphemous!
  23. You will most definitely never have problems finding your bag with that color! Would be a non-starter for me based on size but nice
  24. I also owned the ERC many years ago...I was using it when I played in Europe and if I recall correctly, it was banned by the USGA but not the R&A. That thing made some crazy load noise when you hit it and half the fun was knowing it was not legal in some parts of the world. Never had so many people come up to me to ask if they could hit it
  25. Sweet bag all around. I could never hit the Adams Peanut hybrid I owned some time ago. Probably wrong shaft. I love the following disclaimer: "bag will change without notice. will have pictures soon"
