    Randy, Did you have the chance to play the OnOff plus yet? Thanks!
  2. I hit the Z-Steel (original) over the weekend....I have to say, one of the best fairway woods for me over the past few years. Comes off the face pretty hot, very good off the tee, able to hit it high or low. If the Z-Steel II is an improvement, must be quite a club! Do not read much about Srixon, but after hitting this club, I will definitely be looking a lot closer at Srixon.
  3. Any feedback on the ZR-700?
  4. Anyone have the chance to hit this yet?
  5. Thanks! That's what I wanted to hear! Just rec'd an email from EPON, they confirmed that the face height on the AF 101 is 56 to 57 mm depending on where on the face measured. Now does anyone have the face height on the Craft 460?
  6. Another ? regarding the MP Craft....where is it made? Chou foundry in Japan or elsewhere?
  7. Any comments on the tip profile of the Tour AD 9003 (not the 9003x). On "Paper", comparing the MD7 and the 9003 in "Stiff" Flex. 9003: Weight = 74 grams, Torque = 3.2, MidKick MD7: Weight = 72 grams, Torque = 3.3, MidKick I would guess that the overall bend profile on the 9003 would be stiffer, with a much stiffer tip...would this assumption be correct? Above, some recommended swing speeds were given for the 9003.....any speed recommendations on the MD series?

    Plus1, Does your zr have the same Roddio shaft as your new EMB? Sounds like it's been a good week for you....an expensive one, but well worth I'm sure!
  9. Reading mixed reviews of forgiveness of the AF101 vs ZR, more interested in feel and playability differences and how they may compare to the Craft 460. IMO, clubhead forgiveness always seems a bit over-rated, many times more a function of shaft choice...not always, but many times imo. To those who have pm'ed me with advice/suggestions ---> Many thanks and greatly appreciated!
  10. Looking at the 2 Drivers mentioned...Epon AF101 and Mizuno Craft 460. A lot written about the Epon but not much about the Craft. I have an Epon 460 ZR and played it most of the 07 season, an excellent driver and have been satisfied with the performance. Over the winter, I had the opportunity to hit the Mizuno Craft 425 and really liked the way it felt. So one question is, does the 460 Craft feel and perform similar to the 425? The Craft 460 appears to be a bit shallower than the 425, a fact that I like. I like the look of the AF101, better than the ZR, but I not convinced yet that it offers incremental performance and feel benefits to warrant the upgrade from the ZR. Any input/thoughts would be appreciated. Any contrasts and/or comparisons between the Craft 460 and AF101 would be helpful.
  11. That's a question I have also....."Feel of the Face"? I believe Chris' description of a metallic sponge feel on the 460ZR is a good one. I prefer a "crisper" feel....if the AF 101 has that crisper feel, I may be upgrading soon.
  12. Thanks! 460 ZR is 57mm I believe.....anyone have the face depth/height on the AF 101?
  13. Any shaft specs? Face angle? Thanks!
  14. Can't really tell from the pictures....is the face depth on the AF-101 a bit shallower than the 460 ZR?
  15. TBone replied to Randy's post in a topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
    I have always liked the looks on these. I'll look forward to your initial review!!!
  16. The Yamaha face depth appears much deeper than the PRGR....can anyone confirm? I've hit the PRGR M3 (non-tour)....wide/shallow face. Did not feel "solid" to me, hollow feeling.
  17. I really like the looks of this, I've been looking at these in the Proshop for a month now, waiting for some live pics....anyone have the chance to hit it yet?
  18. Is this guy also known as "Yogi"....or something similar?
  19. TBone replied to TBone's post in a topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
    Can someone explain the differences in materials used in the Craft Series and the MP 600? Thanks!
  20. TBone replied to dakotacomm's post in a topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
    See these now listed in the Proshop...availability?
  21. TBone replied to K2_2's post in a topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
    I have to be honest....not too excited about any of the new offerings. That's not to say I won't pick up something new though, just not any must-haves at this time. I'll keep looking
  22. TBone replied to idrive's post in a topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
    I've heard nothing but good things about the Aerotechs....have a set coming to test!
  23. TBone replied to LSeca's post in a topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
    How is the Epic working in the Fourteen?
  24. TBone replied to gocchin's post in a topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
    Thanks! I can check that one off the list then!
  25. TBone replied to gocchin's post in a topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
    In the literature posted above on the XXIO fairway woods, any mention of face angles? Thanks!
