Yururi Gekko DEMO Iron - Initial Thoughts

Featured Replies

I am demo'ing a 7 iron from Chris with a TT DG S300 shaft. I have only hit it at the range, but here are my initial thoughts.

ME - Typically play a SR flex type, 1-2 degree flat, current iron TM R7 Taper Tour iron with hardstepped x1 Black Gold regular shafts, 46 degree pitching wedge. I had a set of Epon Type S prior. Swing is 97-100 with driver, average transition.

Looks - The head is really cool looking. The pictures don't show the intricate details of the cavity stepped pattern. Head is smaller than what I normally play. Shorter in blade length and about the same as the Type S I would guess. Not disturbingly short, but comfortable. Setup looks great. Slight offset, medium top line thickness. I felt confident over it. After hitting it a number of times, I went back to my set and they looked clunky. Very clean setup.

Feel - I would rate softness as medium. Pure hits felt, well pure as expected. My misses are on the toe. Still soft, but I could tell that I missed it. I consider that a good thing. Feedback was nice. I don't think these are Epon soft, but for those wanting a solid soft feel, these satisfy that.

Performance - I don't know the loft of this 7I. They were very forgiving with only really bad shots failing. Distance didn't fall off rapidly. I could draw at will. The shaft is heavy for me and slightly too stiff. Distance was the same as my TM. I did seem to hit this higher than the TM which have me confused as the Black Golds I think should hit higher. I wasn't cutting the ball, so I dunno. I am very interested is seeing what this could do with a slightly softer and lighter shaft.

Overall - Obviously need some more time. I would like to play a round with these. Solid performance, good feel, above average forgiveness. So far a solid B+. Maybe get to an A with the right setup.

I think the shaft is giving you trouble, At your swing speed perhaps something a tad lighter or softer would play better for you. What shaft you play and how well you hit the ball makes a big difference in feel. IMO these suckers are soft but you gotta have them built to your specs to notice.
