MGB Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Just want to let everyone know that I've finally got the G-Field NC-1 that I won in the last TSG raffle. Many many thanks again to Chis and Jacque for having such a generous contest. Interestingly, my winning the NC-1s coincided with the arrival of my MP-60s from Mastersports, the local Mizuno distributor. The MP-60 came with my beloved TT DG S300. The first few rounds with them were magic. They're so much more forgiving than I thought they'd be. Mizuno definitely has something with the cut muscle design. And the feel is amazing; solid as a bank vault and yet soft as butter when struck well. I expect great things from the NC-1s as well. I had the NC-1s shafted with TT DG SL S300 for lighter overall weight (hey, I am pushing 50!) but similar swing weight and overall balance and topped off with Golf Pride Victory 55 full cord grips. Let me say that these things are like jewelry. They're almost too pretty to hit! You have to see the machining in the cavity to really appreciate the level of craftsmanship. I have friends that've suggested that I hang the NC-1s on my wall since I've got the 60s anyway. I've only got one session at the range and one round under my belt with them. My initial impression is that they're more forgiving than the MP-60s but don't feel quite as soft on perfect hits. Of course, I was coming off a grueling week of laying out the magazine (read total sleep deprivation) and wasn't at my best. I shot 77 in spite of feeling like I was hungover throughout the round so they work just fine, thanks. Trajectory is about the same as the 60s and only slightly higher than my T-Zoid True Forged blades. I'm playing another round with the NC-1s this weekend so I'll have more specific comments then. My heartfelt thanks again to Chris and Jacque for running such a wonderful site. You guys are the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxio Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 If you don't like the NC-1s, I'll be in Manila after our member-guest in Cebu next weekend. I'll bring trade bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGB Posted June 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 I played two more rounds over the weekend; one with the 60s and the other with the NC-1s. The NC-1s are definitely more forgiving and on pure hits the feel is just as satisfying as the 60s. They don't seem to want for playability either. I played a windy mountain course on Monday and hit knockdowns and punch fades into the greens all day. Distances were exactly what I expected from each club and I really didn't notice any great differences in trajectory. The DG-SL plays like the DG but with much lighter overall weight. It actually had me feeling fresher at the end of the round. I'm really liking both sets; what a dilemma! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
