Anyone know what he had in the bag today?

It will be interesting to see which ONOFF clubs he puts in the bag.

Randy, Thanks for taking the pictures and sharing your thoughts, very much appreciated! I guess the 09 OnOff+ didn't make the cut? T

G, What's the shaft bible state about the GD Pros and the Diamana Thump? Thanks, T

Exactly the information I was looking for....Many Thanks!

Which has the stiffer tip....GD Tour AD 95 or Fujikura 9E05? Anyone have any comparisons, pro's/con's of each?

I understand that a rising yen erodes Japanese exporters’ overseas earnings and makes their exports more expensive. All your information makes perfect financial sense. I'm no financial expert/economist, but rising prices (if my mind) can further fuel a downward spiral in demand which will lead to a further decrease in earnings potential. I guess we have financial experts and worst, politicians across the Globe attempting to provide solutions. I have very little confidence in the politicians though....maybe some of the brillant financial minds around the globe can provide some ideas that can be implemented. Enough of this....back to golf! Can you get me a deal on a set of Epon irons?

Understand completely that it would be a labor intensive. I believe most manfacturers would have pdf files of their shaft options/prices. (Yamaha has posted such info.) That shoud be fairly easy to accomplish. The other stuff...finishes, names on hosels, paintfills, etc. are to me, very much "one off's".

Yes, I understand the impact of fluctuating currency exhange rates. Since you and Epon deal in yen, then there has been NO change in your wholesale/contract prices from EPON? The proshop prices are based solely on exchange rates?

As viewing the telecast today, I found myself paying attention to the eqiupment the amateurs had it the bag. What was a surprise somewhat was the lack of graphite iron shafts. Unless they are using extremely light weight steel shafts, I think many could've benefitted with the graphite option. Based upon some of the swings, many glancing blows and lack of head speed/lack of distance, especially on some short Par 3's where hybrids/high lofted fairway's were the choice. Just seemed a bit odd....and ill fit!

Why not just post the options/prices?

With "A ton of new Epon products expected around late October 2009" Why the $100 + price increase in the current iron line up? Because they can based on current supply/demand? Trying to squezze as much $ they can with the in-line models during the spring/summer selling season? If I was looking at Epon irons, based upon the fact they are raising their prices with in-line models, I would be inclined to wait to see what the late October 09 offerings are! Unless Epon is experiencing a very high demand, much higher that forecast....I don't see the reasons for the $ increases in a stagnant economony with a prodouct that may be nearing the end out it's lifesytle.

Digging up an older thread....but does anyone have some experience with the Thump yet? As always, any insights/information is appreciated!

Regarding 15 v 16 grooves....are the grooves spaced tighter on the Fourteen?
