supo Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 yea similar. but the 905 are a more consistantly rounded feeling . he off centree shots can get a bit mroe harsh than the 905s. the 905 are a hell of a set of blades. i dont think theres a better designed one out there. i would have liked them just a weee bit thicker and softer . just a wee bit.., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoon Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) Some info on the crazy sick set of yamaha hal sutton joe kwok grind irons. seriously this is one of the best looking irons i have ever seen! handground by joe kwok! Hand Ground by Joe Kwok for modern sole relief (heal, toe, leading / trailing edges) - over $1,000 worth of work Hand stamped by Joe Kwok to show authenticity (see symbol high on toe of each club) Story: Another WRXer started this project. He bought the clubs from somone in decent condition and decided to have them ground to play like the most modern sets from the best makers. Sent them to Joe Kwok and paid over $1,000 to grind all nine (9) of the irons. Joe finished them, weighed them and shipped them back. I bought them from the owner at that stage as he didn't want to get further into the project. I bought the ground heads off the GolfWRX BST a while back, but they needed to be refinished. I first had them bent to my specs (see picture below) and then took them to Quality Golf Products in Fountain Valley, CA, to have them sent off for rechroming (original satin) and original paintfill. While they were away for 3 weeks being refinished, I bought some great two silver ring ferrules to match the heads, DG TI S-400 shafts (2-PW), and some Tour Issue Golf Pride victory cord grips. Quality Golf then fitted the heads to the shafts (carefully filling the shaft pin hole in the hosel with lead), cut them to length (see below specs) and installed the grips. I then contacted Joe Kwok and asked him to do me the honor of hand stamping each head to document his grinding work. Joe not only hand stamped them, but also precisely measured each clubhead for loft, lie, and club for length and swingweight. What a professional and perfectionist! It was truly and honor to watch him work. The first restoration owner had $1,400 into these. I added an additional $700 (rechrome, shafts, grips, ferrules, labor, bending, stamping, final tweaks) to that total, so they have had approximately $2,100 invested to restore them to better than original condition.

Spoon Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 I emailed Joe kwok and he confirmed his handiwork. He extensively ground every head to make the sole More playable, his exact words were I ground them To make the grind versatile like an MP68 grind.. He said it is definitely more playable than a mire blade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 does it make sense that someone who invested so much on those irons would pull them off Wrx because of all the lowballers yet unload them off ebay at 299 1 bidder? fyi i pmd joe kwok about these and said that these are his handiwork and that he specially ground them and put a modern grind to resemble the mp68. i want these soo bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdGolf Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Yeah the sole work do resemble my MP68..... did you try to bid in e-bay?? Agree those are one of the most beautiful set I've seen....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoon Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 guys i can say with confidence that the irons are now headed my way. i did not want to jinx it because the seller was debating not letting em go for so low. completing the original project and tasked the previous modder to get em regrooved and tweaked! ive never been so excited to test new irons out!
