Akira Prototype M2 Fairway Long Term Review

I have been playing the 15, 18, 21 degree models since release. They are all shafted with the Talamonti PD80 shafts. Add discussed the past, my initial attraction to these was to find a fairway wood with a flatter lie. The shady was picked because I heard good things and they were cheap.

Overall this setup I'd the best ever. I have hit more shots of my life with these than any other club. I don't know what it it's but they just work. Feel is solid. Crazy straight and very predictable. I may cry if this ever disappear.

3W - I don't use this much at first. I didn't find reason to. The head is smallish, and nicely shaped. Well I found reason to use it. Now I am addicted. I can use it add a driver. Hit it high or low and left our right. Distance of the tee rivals my driver. Yesterday I used it on 10 hotels and missed one fairway. Most times I was equal or further than my playing partners.stellar

5w - similar to the 3w but more loft. Not used as much but when I do it performs just as well.

7w - Magic. So easy to hit. Flys high but it is long. So great from any lie. Larger head but it doesn't matter. Slightly closed face. A club I use to hit shots I couldn't hit before. Load and fire, very automatic.

Not sure these are available anymore, but hopefully Akira will make one that is equal or better.

The shafts are awesome also. Not JDM, but they are not going anywhere soon.

:D

hey, sounds great! i was looking at their 3w too for the same reason of flatter lie angle. its 2 degrees flatter than mine stock and there seem to be a custom order option of alas pointless +-0.5 adjustment. did you get them flatter than stock on custom order or afterwards, i wonder if they can be bent another couple of degrees or so ? if you have a picture of 3w at address with a ball would appreciate you posting it here.
