Posted October 27, 200717 yr comment_143701 More scans! I hope people enjoy these. If you do, let me know and I will keep going! Waggle Golf Magazine previews 14 new iron models. Two testers this time around since it's only a preview and in depth reviews will come later. Ito is a pro with a swing speed of 105mph Staff A is part of the Waggle staff and he has a handicap of 20 and a swing speed of 94mph Basic impressions and ratings... just to give you guys an idea of these new irons. Not meant to be in depth. I translated one of the boxes briefly so you know what you're looking at here. Those are 5 iron and 7 iron specs for the loft and lie by the way not just 5 iron. Basically the irons are grouped into four categories: Professionals Athlete (low handicappers) Average (mid handicappers) Senior (high handicappers/game improvment) Any questions, just ask!
October 27, 200717 yr comment_143705 Wow,you really love golfgear and a wealth of info.Those 550' look sweet but those pics make the cavity look a lot deeper.The 550 and the srixons could be next years sleepers.
October 27, 200717 yr comment_143713 I cannot get my 5 iron to go 165 yard and the 20 hdcp is getting it to fly 185 and same as the pro? wow he is good. I think there is something wrong with my Epon S and should change to the Fourteen or the EGG. Edited October 27, 200717 yr by Duffer19

I think there is something wrong with my Epon S and should change to the Fourteen or the EGG. The 20 capper is hitting the 550 5 iron 165 not 185 like the pro R.... yeah those EGG's are long!
October 27, 200717 yr comment_143715 The 20 capper is hitting the 550 5 iron 165 not 185 like the pro R.... yeah those EGG's are long! Besides my swing, my eye sight is failing too. I did demo'ed the Egg the week they came out in Japan in Sept-really solid club if you can get past the looks. Edited October 27, 200717 yr by Duffer19

October 27, 200717 yr comment_143730 Just to be sure. For "Height/Trajectory" does the higher number means higher ball flight? Bat
October 27, 200717 yr Author comment_143733 Yes Bat that's right, the EGG had a 5 which means it was the highest trajectory of the bunch. The rest are 4's and 4.5's.
October 27, 200717 yr comment_143745 T I don't think their are any of us that don't appreciate your time and effort in scanning, posting and narrating these reviews. Thank you, great reading and information.
October 27, 200717 yr comment_143748 Good scans there are some good irons in there thanks for the scans.
October 28, 200717 yr comment_143756 regarding the srixon i701, is that a u.s version or strictly a japanese issue. i thought it was a model just released here in the states.
October 28, 200717 yr Author comment_143759 regarding the srixon i701, is that a u.s version or strictly a japanese issue. i thought it was a model just released here in the states. They are also being sold in Japan.

Landshark, the i701 is a US/world model but they sell them in Japan as well. T, great pictures of all of these irons, thank you! I think PRGR will have a great year in Japan with the EGG released earlier this fall and the 500BL and 501 driver as well.

Please tell me how forgiving they really are and then look at the price tag and tell me if they are worth it! (^_^)
October 28, 200717 yr Author comment_143770 I agree the Japanese Srixon irons always look better than the US models...
October 28, 200717 yr comment_143773 Of all the clubs pictured, I think I prefer the TourStages the best. But then, I am partial to TourStage. Just seems to "fit" my eye.
October 28, 200717 yr comment_143776 T, Sorry I didn't get a chance to hit the EGG. I was rushing around at the last minute to pic up a specially ordered set of irons on my way to the airport... that was good fun as the rain from the Typhoon out in the Pacific made for a crazy commute!

No probs, K, i didn't realize you were leaving Japan so soon! Trip goes by far too quickly!
July 27, 200816 yr comment_151273 T, TSG is something I've discovered only recently. I often used to visit the site but never looked hard enough to see the forum. It's threads like this that are FASCINATING. Thanks mate, Paul
