    Actually bags with wheels (with a pull out handle like the luggage) are getting popular in Asia and not necessarily for ladies. They are great in taking it to the mult-storey range and also for transport to and from airport without using a bag cover (particularly crossing the China border by car.)

    I guess most if not all the arrows are straight. Its always the ......
  3. T: I think its just a trick question. Looking at teddevan's bag and years of playing golf, he would not be a 'duffer'.

    Were you playing a blade before? Accuracy is a function of playability/forgiveness and ball striking.

    You should be fine with the stock stiff and I just hope it would not too soft.
  6. While the cb202 is a NA model and the 1006, a J-spec model, I would be tempted to equate the 1006 to the Epon AF301 and the 202 to the 501 in term of target golfers.
  7. As far as I know, the 1005 is similar to the NA cb201 or now the cb202 but the 1006 is the Japanese only model. 3003 is a replacement for the 3002 and the PP is the Japan only and the only model with a strong loft and more offset. I have never heard of Miura irons being draw or fade bias and ball flight is normally a function of shaft used.

    Since you mention Shimada, T, I think the K3001 and 7001 are better than the AC10 (too bad Epon only lists ac10 as an option) and should probably include the K'5001 from SYB which is 89g. There is a nice extra kick with my 3001 thats not found in my nspro850.

    Wow, you can still play in Ohio? You must be in the Cincy area but its still crazy cold for golf this time of year.
  10. While I have not play this shaft, I do play the White and suspect that the ali'islei is somewhere between the Blue and White in spec with new tech on the tip section for added stability, i.e. high launch than the White but lower than the Blue.
  11. I think high MOI drivers generate less of anything lncluding spin hence more forgiving on mis**ts but at the same time, more difficult to work the ball, draw or fade.
  12. Thanks T so do you have yours yet?
  13. Is it really 4200 for the 460cc? Then there is no need for me to change to the EMB driver just to get marginal increase. The CPM is within my expectation for stock shaft of J spec clubs. Non Epon GD such as QT or the new MD would be higher in cpm for comparable flex.

    I got mine from Gocchin with the stock S together with a spare GD UT85. Since the stock works just fine, I have not bother to put in the GD shaft (too heavy for me) which is a 8.9mm tip diameter. It is a very easy ut to use if you dont mind a slightly larger head. It does what it advertises as a good utility club with good to normal distance, trajectory but very accurate and definitely a forgiving club. Since it is working great with the stock shaft, I dont see the need to upgrade the shaft as it might just alter the result for the worst.
  15. If you have a chance, you should try the White board. You would be surprised how easy the shaft play if one is a decent ball striker. The feel is all from the soft butt while the high bend/tip stiff presents no problem at all. If you are looking for a lower spin shaft, this is a good option.
  16. I have tried and played with a number of shafts such as Fuji Zcom, Rombax, QT, PT, W, Diamana White and Roddio is the only shaft that I cannot play. I have talked to a few members here with similar results/observation but none have come out and say so. It is a shaft that would fit a certain swing only. If one is a mid to high handicap player, one would or should play a more forgiving shaft such as Fuji or GD or even Machline rather than a Roddio. This is simply an observation from playing a lot of different shafts.
  17. Which model of PRGR 3 wood is 41.5"?
  18. You should just order the 5003 with the GD Tour AD 105 or 115 graphite. You would then be the only one in the GTA to own a set like that.
  19. Didnt know that the nspro are also constant weight shafts. I thought only the Shimada 3001 and 7001 are CW.

    No familiar with the MP line. I am still playing the Mizuno T-Zoid Pro 1 from years ago.
  21. Duffer19 replied to Henry's post in a topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
    On the market: GD PT5 54g MD5 55g Fuji Zcom TW44 48g MW44 49g Speeder 456HK 48g Rombax 4x07 50g (Pink) The lighter the shaft, the more flexible the shaft with comparable designation on heavier shafts.
  22. Are you talking about a lady playing the men's clubs or playing the ladies version of the clubs like ViQ? Mizuno has ladies clubs so has ViQ. What is your question on those clubs? What model of PRGR your mother is playing currrently?
  23. Duffer19 replied to oukk's post in a topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
    TS is for pro/lower handicappers. and ViQ for mid/high while Beam is for high and beginners.
  24. There is a write-up on the Jan 2008 issue of Waggle. Perhaps T could translate for us. The V Tour forged looks mean and all business.
  25. T, What is the point of going from the ARMRQ shaft to the Tour AD except the ARMRQ play softer to flex, particularly the 700 or even 800 series.
