I have the black with white dragon as shown in the pro shop. Quality seems very good. Bag is lighter than it looks. Any embroidery is done well. Pocket design is pretty good although I could use more.

I need to try these also. Looks like the sole grind on the Epon KGX with less bounce.

Of course I will be buying the set of the Tour irons.

Always wanted to try the AF-101. EMB is 45.5", 10.5*, stock Graphite Design Tour AD for EMB stiff, great condition. Looking for similar in AF-101. PM with what you have.

Especially on a followup to the 2008 Inpres X V Tour irons?

I have the black wedge shafts. I swear they feel smoother. I have inquired about the black shafts for the other irons however was told that they are released in November and there are limited numbers available. They were about $15 more each than the normal KBS.

KB Tour black wedge shafts or a complete iron set?

Any word on the muscle back irons?

58* is a nice flat lie for stock.

I don't fully agree with your review, but I respect it. I doubt that anyone is buying these as a forgiving club. I play to a 7 and get along with these very well. Agreed that misses are not very rewarding. I see you are listed as a TSG Sponsored Pro. Can you post a bio so we know who you are? Is this a special new program?

Available again at $175 shipped.

The Nowon grips are available in 50 and 48 weights. My guess is that the 48 is a thinner grip. Each series feature they own colors. I play standard, but maybe the 50 could fit you depending on the install method. Iomic also makes thinner grips however I much prefer the Nowon.

I now have about 10 rounds under my belt with these irons. I am finding my way more and more with each round. I feel that my ball striking is pretty good right now and I am seeing the rewards each day. They are as soft feeling as ever. Softer than than the Yamaha Tour irons, softer than the Epon 301s and 501s. Easy to hit for me. I was concerned with moving into muscle backs, but I have not looked back. I know there have been discussions about whether ones game could improve hitting less forgiving designs. I have to say that I think this has worked for me. I mentioned in an earlier post that I was hitting these thin sometimes. I found I was sweeping the ball rather than trapping the ball. Once I concentrated on this, contact improved and so did feel, accuracy and consistency. I also have gained almost 1 iron in distance through better ball striking. I bet that many have shy'd away from the George Spirits line because of the steep cost. However, I can see wearing these out before buying a new set of irons. Yada, yada, yada right? Well time will tell, but I honestly can't see what I would look for in a new set.

Are the bills as long as they appear?

FS - Set of 7 iron shafts pulled from brand new set of George Spirit GS-MB irons. Pulled by Joe Kwok so done correctly. Were installed as 4-PW in iron set. Also have one brand new shaft purchased from Swing Science which is a 8950. Raw length 37". All (8) for $95 shipped in Conusa.

PRICE DROP. MUST GO TODAY OR OFF TO THE EBAY.

I am selling my OnOff Stand bag as shown in the pic. Great condition with no tears I can see. This is a great price on a really cool excellent bag. The material seems like a kinda rip stop material. The zippers are really cool and the detail and quality is obvious. Super light around 3.2kg. I tried to take pics of everything. The strap is a double strap seen in most carry bags. I unhooked it for the pics to show the pockets better. The wind was blowing so nevermind a few pieces of lint! $180 shipped in Conusa. International will need to be priced separately. This is a great deal considering shipping from Japan would be approx. $75 plus the bag price. Let me know if you need more pics.

It would be interesting to hear reviews on JDM balls as compared to US balls.

Mine is 45.5". I did this because at 5'-3" I couldn't see myself playing too long. Also it would have affected swing weight too much. Epon actually talked me into playing this long rather than at 44.5. My guess is that the design of the EMB is very calculated. I could be totally off base, but my thoughts are that the head has so much MOI that it can overcome the possible "wildness" of playing a longer shaft as well as a shaft with higher torque and soft feeling. Many have commented that the shafts feel too soft yet play so well. The setup works as is. I did temporarily replace the shaft with a high launch, low spin shaft and hated it. It felt dead and the results were poor. One day later I replaced it with the stock shaft and didn't look back. I have been tempted to try a AF101, but catch myself and ask why.

I would try the 10.5 with the stock stiff shaft rather than the SR flex, standard length and swing weight. Best starting point. The stiff shaft won't feel that way. Should launch high, but sounds like a swing flaw. Yes the EMB seems to like smoother swings in this setup.

I bought it last year so maybe a 07.

I don't want to turn this into a debate, but I have been playing the KB Tours since early in the year and am on my second set in two different heads. They are stellar. I prefer them to the Nippons. Not that the 1150s are bad, but they always felt a little sloppy to me. The KBS shafts are much more controlled for me and quiet frankly have changed my game.

Here is an update to the new iron saga. Having some from an iron length of a 5I at 37.75", I just couldn't get used to the extra length and thus went back to 37.5". The result was a lesser swing weight and that was an adjustment in itself. I immediately began hitting the ball thin although I didn't think the feel was bad. I was kinda upset in that I thought I was going to need to rebuild the irons. After several range sessions and some play, I found that it was my swing rather than the clubs. Imagine that my swing was the problem! I wasn't hitting down on the ball properly and sweeping wasn't working. Now that I have adjusted and my swing is back on track, all is well. Today I played new course in my area and the irons were really tested. I am happy to say that I am very pleased with their performance. Flight is perfect, distance is very predictable and feel is very good. Hit correctly and the results are great. I am happy with these irons and will test them more this week for a more indepth review. The wedges are the best ever. I look forward to hitting them. Chips are a pleasure. My only complaint is that I find sand shots from firm bunkers difficult especially when I open the face. Probably my problem and not the clubs. Stellar wedges though.

If your Pings have reasonably standard head weights, then you should have no problem at all acheiving your goal swing weight. What length are you playing the clubs? If you have a 5 iron length of at least 37.75 inches than all the easier. I have installed them in anew set of the GS-MB which the heads are lighter. I also play a 5I that is 37.5 inches. SW is tricky in this set and I am about a D1. You should have no issue.
