February 15, 201113 yr comment_164027 Nice thought's I've read in the reply's above. As suggested by Supo, I've contacted Gochin. And he informed me pretty well. I also did some reading in the Blog's. I've narrowed my choice down to 2 irons. The Yamaha V-forged and the Titleist VG3. First choice is Yamaha. Tomorrow I'll have a meeting with my pro and we'll discuss my specs. I'll give them to Gochin and will then place an order. Yeha. But I have tot take into account which irons are best suitable to fit for a Dutch guy. Could be that the VG3 are easier to fit than the Yamaha's. What I've concluded, is that the Yamaha irons are more balanced. My hcp is currently 26 and still improving. By the end of this year I am aiming at 22 (and maybe 20...). I want forged irons (Endo) but playable for 20 HCP. And I think the Yama's will do the trick. good job. long may you enjoy jdm.

February 15, 201113 yr comment_164031 To be quite honest, I am not 100% sure that the V forged or even the VG3 would be particularly friendly to a 26 handicapper. Then one school of thought is to go with the more difficult irons starting out and anything comes after would be easier. Edited February 15, 201113 yr by Duffer19

Then one school of thought is to go with the more difficult irons starting out and anything comes after would be easier. I suspect that it will not be easy, but hey, let's give it a wack... Reading your post it seems that the VG3 are slightly more forgiving than the Yamaha. Is that correct?
February 15, 201113 yr comment_164035 I suspect that it will not be easy, but hey, let's give it a wack... Reading your post it seems that the VG3 are slightly more forgiving than the Yamaha. Is that correct? I do not have the pleasure of hitting the VG3 yet but I am just assuming relative forgiveness since it has a pocket cavity vs. just a small cavity/blade like with the V forged. For sure, the V forged is very sweet when struck well. Then I am referring to the one with the Tour AD graphite.

Oke, not going for the blades, but the Yamaha 2011 Inpres X V Forged 5-PW, check the pro shop.
February 15, 201113 yr comment_164037 Oke, not going for the blades, but the Yamaha 2011 Inpres X V Forged 5-PW, check the pro shop. Not saying the V forged is a blade since I have had a set.
February 15, 201113 yr Author comment_164038 Not saying the V forged is a blade since I have had a set. I thought there was a difference between the Tour version and the one's as mentioned in the pro shop. I'll check it with Gochin to be sure since he tested them in his great review, the shoot out. thanks

March 4, 201113 yr Author comment_164483 The Phoen rang, it's DHL. "Dear mr Bekker, we've got a special delivery upcoming from Japan." My heart skipped a beat. Oh, didn't I mentioned the fact that my wife (we are not married but do live together for 16 years already) doesn't know anything of my Japanese set? Okééé. Well, I guess I am not the only one hiding some news.... ;-D

March 4, 201113 yr comment_164488 No you clearly aren't the only one, we all have OCD when it comes to clubs! BB
March 5, 201113 yr Author comment_164500 I am thinking of a new group: GA instyead fof AA. Golfaddiction Anonymus. Clubs are in Hong Kong
March 7, 201113 yr Author comment_164565 Received the clubs through DHL. Can I just say: MAGNIFICENT!!! I'll try to get some pics. You can not believe the surprised looks I get at my office: 'Huh, Yamaha? Is that a good quality?' 'Don't think that your HCP will go better' 'Why did you buy those clubs, you have allready good clubs' (Ping G10, I'll play with them in the winter) I do not asked for understanding why I am so glad with my new clubs. Very, very greatfull to Tario, who had to put up with al my questions. I am 44 years old, happy as only children can be with new stuff to play. Long may this feeling last.
