Bridgestone/Tourstage vs. Mizuno/JPX

[Henry]

OK guys, for those of you who have been fortunate enough to play or demo both these product lines, generally speaking, which ones do you like better and why?

[Phillip Alexander]

This is simply my fantasy set up, however here goes

Driver: Tourstage VIQ2

3 wood: Mizuno JPX

Hybrid: Mizuno UX-2

Found this from a while back, any comments?

Thanks

For woods, I'd go Tourstage.

For irons, it depends on what you want. All of the JPX irons are game improvement clubs, but the fit and finish, is, imo, better than the MP or MX series clubs I have seen in the States (specs are usually very close as well, which, from sets I have played and had checked, was not the case with MP's from the States).

Tourstage has irons ranging from extrememly easy to hit (ViQ ti face irons) to intermediate irons working well for a wide range of handicaps (VI-Q forged) to blades that would make you cry if you're not catching them in the center of the face every time. The fit, finish, and quality (close to spec) are as good as any other club I have tried, but you have the added flexibility of choosing a model to suit your game.

They don't seem to have the brand cache on some of the forums, but I would also look at Srixon's I-404 (no longer available new) and ZR-600 depending on your game... these are beautifully crafted clubs.
