tincup975 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Looking to purchase a new set of irons and would like some opinions on JDM clubs. What is the best feeling & looking players CB in the JDM market? I have been looking hard @ Tourstage equipment also Fourteen and Yonex. I have not seen one of these in person so it is very hard for me to know which one to pick. I usually go off of the look of the PW and most pictures don't show the pw. Just want some unbiased opinions and appreciate anyones help. I like some help in the long irons getting the ball into the air and am currently playing KBS tour shafts. Would also like to know what everyones thoughts were on which shafts to play as well. Thanks in advance.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idrive Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 All you have to do is read my sig: This thread will help http://forum.tourspecgolf.com/topic/30414-best-forged-irons-poll/ There are at least 4-5 different Players CB'S that I would be happy with. Yama's Tourstage Yuyuri Royal Collection.... Shaft.... lots of variables, how are the KBS working now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatebogies Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 I'm like a broken record on this one but IMHO you would be hard pressed to find a more perfect looking CB at address (and to me that's the only look that matters) than the Epon 302 irons.

Yama's Tourstage Yuyuri Royal Collection.... Shaft.... lots of variables, how are the KBS working now? KBS tour shafts are working OK, but no where near as smooth as the Tour Concept shafts that I had in my Bridgestone J33 cb irons. I am playing the J36 black limiteds now....maybe its a different forging??? There was some speculation that they had someone other than Endo forge the J36 irons...don't know but I do know they don't feel as smooth and soft as my J33 with the Tour Concept irons...What is sooooo good about the Epon irons? Do you have any pics of the PW on the 302s? Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim i totally agree with the 302s! even the 301s are awesome. but i would also be happy to game the yonex nanovs and the yamaha x tours. frankly speaking there are so many to choose from!

idrive Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 They are solid. They are soft. They feel great. They are forgiving for a smaller players CB. They look great and as Jim said, from address they look perfect. Forgot to mention. I think the most over looked feature of these Irons is the grind. Excellent, versatile grind. Except perhaps for the really hard fairways it doesn't get any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I mention durable?? ;) I'd say at least 25 - 30 rounds. 10 range sessions. Yes that is the Pitching Wedge I do take other sets out here and there.... :) I keep my clubs clean, wipe after every shot, that includes the driving range. Keeps the wear way down. It also slows you down at the range, which for me is a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In hindsight, I should have considering that they should be more forgiving than the knives I've been fooling around with. Oh, well... Maybe you can show them to me in person & educate me on all this talk about single malts when I finally get my butt down there next month. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Above_Beyond Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 God we get it.. epon epon epon epon epon epon. Break the monotony - get a set of Yururi, Miura, or even yamaha and you will be a happy man. Im with (Supo) I think it was - who was just selling his Epons, Ive tried and tried and they jsut dont work for me, and to be completely honest.. I can hit most clubs so long as they are half decent.

Above_Beyond Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 oh - or for some outside the box thinking - KZG makes a great set of tour cavity backs. http://www.kzgolf.com/sites/courses/layout9.asp?id=588&page=37679 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 For me today this is the order of my lust. TourStage 905 Limited CB's Yururi KM-0107 Titleist VG3 Forged PRGR id BL Forged Yamaha V-Forged or Tour Model Epon AF302 Custom Finish/Grind Mizuno MP-58 Royal Collection BBD Tour VS Forged now depending on how player, shape, and features you desire I would make my selection within that. Some are more blade like than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankThong Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 I probably have not handled as many as the guys here but my vote for best looking from all directions except at address goes to the black Yururi KM0107, aka Batman's irons. Best looking at address has to be the Miura CB202; thin topline with just a hint of offset. Best feeling on impact = Epon 302; I've heard it's buttery, it's sweet, but if I had to describe the sensation, I'd say it's satisfaction.
