Hehehehe. Just kidding. But like Spoon already said: WE NEED PICTURES!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blader-X Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Stew, I believe you hit the Yonex 385 at the show, correct? If so what were your thoughts on it and do you have any thoughts on the TourStage 385? All these smaller heads and the new Muziik 787 have got me thinking.

supo Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) Stew, I believe you hit the Yonex 385 at the show, correct? If so what were your thoughts on it and do you have any thoughts on the TourStage 385? All these smaller heads and the new Muziik 787 have got me thinking. the yonex i liked got good numbers with it too. scared me to pieces at first, then it was like hitting a big 3 wood. got the ball to turn over nicely. its really pear shaped, i mean really! but i was flushing it nicely. i didnt mind it and i could picture myself using one at long reef or NSW to hit low drills that run forever. the TS i didnt see.i did see the 415 tho and thats not abd bad looking thing ,liked the look of it , but didnt t hit it. the real small heads im not about id like to play one too see how i go under presssure with it . my thoughts tho are it looks too small and id overswing to try get more distance.

supo Posted March 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 ive never ever used one but will get one this year. its a big old thing! so if im playing in a comp i can take this thng out and use it anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippercarey Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 ive never ever used one but will get one this year. I had a GPS previous to the Bushnell and it was such a pain in the arse, having to remember to charge B4 the round and download the right course. All you need with the bushnell is a standard battery point and shoot!!! with the exact distance to the pin not just the front and back distance that the GPS gives, the only advantage GPS has is on doglegs where you cant see the green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 well great day . , a bit windy . ground like ice . pretty chilly made iron play exceptionally hard. driving on the other hand was sensational. took all drivers out as i said i hit them all at the range in the morn and played what i thought i hit best which happend to be......................................................................................., epon 102 - quadra proto 75 xs what a magnificent combo. hit 12 of 14 and killed it all day, had a draw going and boy was it going well. long ball lama.., the crazy 80 ls 7.7 is stiffer. and a little lower flight. the proto is higher . more workable (just) and an absolute joy to hit. its def got that lovely quadra feel very glassy and definitive push as the shaft snaps back in to play. i was piercing the wind all day and with it just sailed into never never land. the xs def suits my swing better than the FE in same flex. so watch the B/S bec there will be a cpl more XS FE to go soon! my buddy was playing his 47.5 inch roddio shingo--ryoma 10.5* vspec. he has picked up about 20 yards the ball flight was amazing to watch. im convinced this head is the longest there is. hes not a big driver and he was easily shooting 20+ on last yr with this . he was right up with me on a few good uns. and hes usually 20+ 30 maybe (yards) ish behind me ,over time this is 100% down to the driver. rediculous length he was killing it. ss of about 100 ish. the bad shots with this driver excelled the most ,easily longer non centered easily. but after what i hit today the epon has just bounced straight back in the bag. interestingly at the range i hit the 101 stinger 70s and it was longer than than all my other drivers. but for certain its the longest shaft in my collection. gotta play the x stiff., is just a bit soft. gotta play the x..! ooooooh where to play it! great today hitting great balls. with all those drivers. makes SUCH differnce to range rocks. can really see the performance of the clubs . used the range finder . LOVE it. oh how did i play without one! all those numbers . ahhhh it certainly helped me along to loosing al my coin and getting closed out by the 13th!!!! to a manhood sapping 85................................, worst iron play and putting display of all time. all time............! its back to the drawing board. at least i drove it well.ah the first few games back over winter..

gyli84 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 How does the FeX Proto compare to the standard FeX. Is the Proto meant to launch higher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 not sure if its meant to or not. but it appears to. its better suited to my game i know that 8.5* head its perfect wouldnt want any higher. perfect mixof carry and roll in yesterdaYS conds.
