unclekent Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Saw a few pictures recently of the AKIRA brand ADR products. wondering if anyone has played this line, how is the quality. looks forgiving for the plus 18 handicap player. I like the style of the double sole wedge as well. Any reviews or comments? Thanks, Kent Haas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Kent Haas Kent If you are a +18 you dont need anything but if you are a 18+, the ADR is a better choice for you than the TM. I decided on a TM 9* last month in Japan due to smaller head and square face. It was custom built while I wait with my choice of shaft. For 18+, the ADR with 10.5 or 11* which has a slightly closed face would be the route to go if you decided to go with Akira. ps: You are talking about the new ADR (Japan site) right,the one with a Red logo on the sole and won all sort of awards in Japan in 2006 or 07?

Thanks, Kent I love the 9 degree Akira TM with the Rombax shaft. I finally got a hold of another 9 degree head and am deciding on what shaft to experiment with--I'm waiting for a heads up from Chris about the prototype shafts he's working on. The Akira TM is the best feeling head I've hit and I've hit most of the older version Japanese heads on this site. Nothing felt as good as the Akira. However, with all the new goodies out there, something may feel and be better but you can't go wrong with the Akira. Good Luck!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
