O Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 How do the Srixon I404 compare with the I302, ball flight, workability, forgiveness. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NakedDave Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 I have a set of I-404 that are on the way from Japan and will be here next week. I'll let you know then how the two compare. I'm anxious like you to see how the two might differ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O Posted January 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 I've seen the clubs first hand. They appear a bit smaller than the I302's from heel to toe, but have a higher face. Very similar to the I201's just smaller. I await your review, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Many of the pro's in Japan played the I201's over the 302's due to the profile and size of its head so Srixon created the I404 which is a smaller more compact head with a lower trajectory. Srixon Irons feel really good and perform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NakedDave Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 How do the Srixon I404 compare with the I302, ball flight, workability, forgiveness. :-D[/quoteWell, Thanks to sorry weather here in southeast TN, I can't comment yet on just how the new Srixon I-404 compare to the I-302 with regards to ball flight,workability,and forgiveness, but I will say that they are everything that Chris has made them out to be. The I-404 are every bit as good looking as anything that Bridgestone/TourStage, or any other OEM has to offer. For those who have seen the TourStage MR-23 US Spec cavity backs before, I would say that the I-404 are very comparable in overall appearance and offset, but slightly larger overall. From my first impressions, the I-404 appear to be a "steamlined/sleeker" version of the older model I-201, which I believe Chris mentioned in a previous post here in the Tour/Import section. Compared to the I-201, the I-404 have a noticeably thinner top line, but appear to be about the same length heel to toe,and have slightly less offset. With regard to the I-302, the I-404 are definitely more of a "player's" CB than the I-302 and are slightly shorter from heel toe to than the I-302. Hopefully, I can get someone to post some pics of my new toys tomorrow. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxio Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Do the I-4s have the reverse progression in the short irons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NakedDave Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Do the I-4s have the reverse progression in the short irons? I hate to come off as dense, but would exactly do you mean by "reverse progression"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbleking Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 I've never had such an extraordinary feel of forgiveness and pleasure with hitting blades like the PRO 100. And those irons seem to be almost unknown in Europe. It is a shame. I would like to hit them one more time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Srixon Pro 100 blades are as good looking as anything Mizuno and/or TourStage has ever made. It's a shame really that Srixon does'nt get the same recognition as the other OEMs. Very, very underrated IMHGO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to come off as dense, but would exactly do you mean by "reverse progression"? Sorry typing faster than the brain functions. I meant reverse progressive offest. If you look a most Japanese clubs the short irons have more offset than the long irons. Strange but true. I've passed on a lot of good deals on Japanese clubs because I cannot play the offset in the short irons. They have that funky transition in the hosel that makes me align everything off to the right.

NakedDave Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Looks like to me that the offset is he same as the long irons. Also, FWIW, the short irons in the I-404 "fit" the rest of the irons in the set. By that, I mean that the shorter irons are'nt bulbous and have a very player's CB appearance to them. The PW is so good looking that I'm thinking of buying the I-404 AW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tickyboy Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Would you be able to post some pics of these irons Dave? I :love: my i-302, I am going to get some wedges to go with them. Srixon makes a fantastic product for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Srixon is #1 in Japan, bigger than Tourstage they are owned by Sumitomo they get the most recognition in Japan more than Bridgestone IMO. More commercials, more staff players but victories... Nike Japan rules in that department thanks to that Weirdo Shingo.. :wink: The Pro100's are extremely underrated, They are better than 95% of the blades that were released in the last 5 years IMO. They are that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alohano Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Yes folks, as I have been saying for 5 years....Japan Dunlop is ichiban in Japan. The fascination with Miz, BS/Tourstage here and the lack of love for Japan Dunlop-Srixon/XXIO simply blows my mind. I can't explain it. Go check em out all. You won't be disappointed. Then if you're stupid like me you'll get more extreme and check out PRGR!? Their 900 forged irons are beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
