Thanks. Gocchin.

Anybody heard of Zone Z Sprout irons? My Japanese friend just sent me a set of 5-PW. It is finished in black, with small letter prototype 001. I think it has tour grooves, because of the marks it left on my balls. I suspect it is related to Zodia, or Chiba Fumio. Any idea? Thanks in advance.

Mine just arrived a few days ago. Comparing it with my bench mark, PRGR Zoom 200i, 19* with graphite shaft. against the AM, 18* with NS-pro S shaft. Off the tee, I am getting more distance from the AM, partly due to rolls. Particularly useful in windy conditions with its boring flight. Advantage, AM. Off the deck, the Zoom is more forgiving and has a higher flight. Probably due to one degree of loft and lower CG from the tungsten inserts. Advantage, Zoom. Appearance wise, advantage, AM. It looks even better than the pictures. So overall, I will give the upper hand to the AM. Since I have only 2 wedges in my bag, I am keeping my 5 wood in the bag for shots requiring a higher trajectory. I will use the AM more as part of my experiment for course management. On short par 4's, non reachable par 5's and holes with fairway bunkers in my driver's distance. This is just my observation for a couple of rounds, so it is still inconclusive. Albert
