    They harp on the target audience being men and women who can barely swing a club but I've found you can reshaft these and have a really good weapon - suited to you regardless of swing speed. 

    "men and women who can barely swing a club..."?  If thats the case, why would you post it on the first place and there are many other clubs you can reshaft.  I just gave my brother a 2017 Prime driver and his game has been renewed and gains some distant back.  Used to be a low teen hdcp but age catches up.  With the new driver, he is now back playing high 80s low 90 at age 80.This is the reason we, senior golfers, pay big bucks for JDM so we can extend our golfing life by a few years.  The larger JDM market is never intent to target the US golfers.

  2. Isn’t Epon drivers Andy fairway still made in Japan?  It is truly less and less woods are now made in Japan.  I bought a 2015 Katana driver and a Ti 13* 2w that were still made in Japan.  Anything after 2015 are all made in China with a 25% reduction in their msrp.  Perhaps high price wood like Roddio or  Maruman Majesty line is still made in Japan.

  3. I have both Regio and Evo 1 and 2, the Evo is much better feel for the seniors and slower swing speed player.  While Regio is cheaper but you just can’t go wrong with Evo. I play Evo 2 474 R flex but the 50s g would be similar but lower torque.  I am also older than you.  Somehow it seems that the Evo run out more than other shafts.  

  4. For my game, the most important club in my bag is the driver. If it works, everything would fall into place.  I can basically putt with Any putter given some practice.  I need all the help I can get with the driver so 460 cc forgiving head would be the ticket.  Like everyone else, tried the S Yard T388 and it was a dismal failure.  I personally don’t care where it is made or how it looks as long as it gets me out there in the short stuff. 

  5. What is a Dymo?  Sounds like the name tag maker.  What is your handicap would likely dictate the club or makes.  I have many JDM drivers including eh 2016 Egg and so far the best one and most consistent has been the 2016 and 2017 M1 with EVO 2 shaft.  On a good day, I can shoot in the mid to high 80s but normally low 90s.  A good driver is a must and would makes the game much easier.  A good shaft would help since I am a senior player.  Fortunately my normal shot is a draw so it helps with the distance.  A block is normally a swing issue and not a club issue.

  6. I am no longer an aging golfer since I am already past that but still don't understand the need for super super super strong loft on irons.  If i need distance, I just change to a UT to hit that distance that I can no longer hit with a mid irons.  I don't carry a 5 irons but have 4 ut in my bag and could very well adding a 30* UT if I can no longer hit a 6 iron properly.  Changing the # on an iron so you could call the 6 a 9 makes no sense to me yet.

  7. For the Epon fan boys, this is one of the last Epon ZR460 produced and I am the only owner.  As you can see the condition is very good since it is not my gamer and only took it out once in awhile.  Decided to sell all my Epons since they are not getting much play. The ZR460 is now shafted with another classic Crazy LY 02 (6.2 flex). I am also the only owner of the crazy shaft.  This premium combo is $500 pp gift with EMS shipped anywhere. Not looking for trade at this time.  The condition is very good with slight brush mark on the sole. The crown is without any chip or blemish.  

    Dont miss this opportunity to own a legend.
