Posted December 3, 200717 yr I have to come to Bangkok to attend a wedding and took the opportunity to visit a small branch of Golf Craft at the Isetan Department during a free afternoon. Thank to a member here, I was given a heads up of the availability of Lepon hybrid head (being a discontinued line) at a very reasonable price. Instead of just buying the head, I asked Mr. Takahashi (Doc Nimi?) of Golf Craft to build the club for me while I went to have lunch. After discussing whats in my bag and my ss, he recommended the Machline fw65 S instead of R which I have experience in. The result is a 23 degree Lepon with Machline fw65 S at 41" D1 with a Technity cord grip. I dont want to get into prices but I can assure you that it was most reasonable by any standard. The head is a medium/dark forest green which is not particular masculine but for that price, I would probably take pink. I had a chance to play with it today in Bangkok and was quite happy with the performance of the head and shaft. The combo was almost too long than my expectation. For your interest, this is a picture taken with my phone.
December 3, 200717 yr i got my girl the 20* and 23* shafted with oem lepon GD shaft to complement her lepon irons. i can take detailed pics of her sticks tom Edited December 3, 200717 yr by Spoon
December 3, 200717 yr TourSpecGirl's Lepon Hybrids dont look the same as those. Early sets sold out of the hybrid, I think it was a foamed. This new one in the pic they recently produced to fill the sold out UT spot in the full lepon sets. So Duffer you hit this well? I too have hit Jacque's and they are very easy to use.
December 4, 200717 yr I just collected my Lepon U23 with a pulled GD YS6 Type 2 from my shaft collections, haven't tried it yet, will test it tonight at the range , if it's good, I'll install it with Machline as suggested by Duffer.

Master, I am a cheap guy so I went with the Machline fw (i have expereiene with) instead of the more premium Drev fw and Tour AD UT which make no sense on a untested hybrid at the time. the 65 S turns out to be very good and very solid with the head and no foam feel.

December 4, 200717 yr My sentiment the same , that's why I went with an old pulled GD shaft at a minimum layout, if the head is good, I'll reshaft it. I'm told this hybrid can only fit into wood shaft as the hosel is .335 only.
