Help me pick wedges and a driver

Hi all,

Last week my father ordered me a set of yururi flat back blades in satin with the pro modus3 shafts from TSG, I should be receiving them in the next few days, I just wanna start out by saying that the service he received from Tario has been excellent, my father is someone who is nearly impossible to satisfy, he is a very successful man and when he does business with a company he expects to be treated a certain way, I would say about 90 percent of the time he winds up unhappy for one reason or another, but he is extremely happy with the service he has received so far from Tario, just about every email he sent was answered very quickly, he also requested that the order arrive as close to my birthday (august 25th) as possible, even though Tario told him there was a holiday in Japan the order shipped out quicker than either me or my father thought would be possible. My father offered to order me a few more things from TSG, and I am certain that would not have been the case if he wast so happy with the service.

So for the next order I'm going to put together pretty much a new bag, it's going to be another set of irons, a driver, and 3 wedges, I would really like some help deciding on which wedges and driver to go with.

I'm between 2 drivers initially, the Akira k109, and the Yonex ezone type 380, I saw the Akira review on the blog, and they also reviewed the M209 which I believe I like better than the K109, but it isn't listed in the proshop, so I'm assuming it isn't available. I prefer smaller headed drivers, for some reason I just hit them better, as soon as I play with a larger oversized head, my contact gets very inconsistent, I honestly think it's more mental than anything else. The akira(s) look amazing and I'm really interested, I'm assuming they are slightly longer than the yonex, I would be interested to know what people think. And I really like the size of the yonex, and it seems like an amazing value for 375.00. I could really use some help deciding.

Shaft wise, i'm in between a few, I'm not going to go with the muzik or crazy shafts for this driver, the most Im looking to pay for the shaft is 575.00, I prefer a slightly

heavier shaft in a stiff flex, as soon as the weight of the shaft gets too low my swing is a mess, even if I go to a stiffer flex. Currently i'm playing a 74 gram shaft, and that weight has been quite good to me. Here is what I'm considering shaft wise, again, I really, really would appreciate any help anyone could offer in choosing a shaft.

Fujikura Motore Speeder VT

Graphite design tour AD, whichever model Ishikawa plays, not sure if it's DI or DJ(only for Yonex)

Mitsubishi Fubuki Alpha

Quadra Composite Techno Fire Express

I really like the Mitsubishi tour prototype griffin, but at a mid 50g weight I think it would be way to light

Graphite Desighn Tour AD 9003

Now on to wedges, I'm pretty particular about my wedges, there are some that I'll really love, and others that I'll really hate and play poorly with, wedges are really the only clubs in my bag that can affect my score all that much based on which ones I'm playing with. I generally go with 52, 56, 60 in most bags, though I've been gaming a 59 lately and like it, I'm even thinking of going 54(or 53), and 58 to eliminate some guess work. I would prefer to stick with 1 model of wedge in all lofts to keep the feel the same, but I'll also consider going with 2 of one model, and one of another if people really seem to recommend it. I'm really liking what I'm seeing as far as the Yururi wedges, and they seem to be a great value, so ive thought a lot about the Yururis, here is what I'm considering.

Yururi Tour Wedge

Yururi Tour Seida Rupas Wedge

Fourteen MT28 V5 Wedge

Also would like to know about the Yururi chili wedges, I'm kinda on the fence about them weather I like them or not

Really like the Sky Dream Jump Pro TB wegde, but I don't like the lofts available

Yonex EZONE Wedge

Miura MB 5000W

Kyoei Zestaim IO grind

Sorry for the extra long post, I really would appreciate any help that anyone can give me making some choices, my father isn't going to place this order until I get a chance to play the Yururi flat backs because I want to see how I feel about the pro modus3 shaft before I decide how I'm going to shaft the irons I'm going to get with the driver and wedges. Thank you for taking the time to read this super long post.

looks determine what u shud get, they all paly excellently.

the sieda are more rounded pear shape

the tour elongated flat

the rupas conforming similar to seida

all spin really well.

of the shafts uve lsited

quadra fex

drivers

the yonex goes real well for the price.

akira llooks great. ain hit it tho

unless they had a change of heart , they are made solely for pros, so they tend to be for good players.

Stew,

I'm gonna go with 52 and 58 rupas wedges, also gonna go with the Yonex 380 driver, but I'm kinda hung on weather to get it with the Quadra Fex or the Graphite design tour AD 9003, I'm also picking up another set of JDM blades to go with the Yururi flat backs my father ordered me last week, as well as 2 driving irons, just waiting to receive the flat backs to see if I'm in love with the pro modus3 or if I prefer the kbs tours that I've been playing before my father places the order.

Next on the agenda is going to be the 2011 yamaha tour irons that your gaming now, I prefer the look of the 2011 to the pics ive seen of the 2012 I've seen posted in the forums, only problem with that is going to be that from everything I'm hearing I have to assume that TSG is sold out of the 2011 tour model and I would have no idea where to get them. Also gonna look into an egg i utility, as they seem to be awesome. Thanks again for your input.

I'm right there with ya bro, I've just come to awareness of all this fantastic JDM gear recently, and I have a lot of catching up to do, but honestly, I would say golf and collecting lots of clubs would be the least expensive hobby I have, and that's more than enough justification for me to keep on scooping up all the clubs and gear I can get my hands on.

I'm kinda hesitant to get any of the Yamaha tours, because from everything I hear, they're going to make me not wanna play any of the blades that I love so much. Lol.
