Posted July 27, 201212 yr comment_183532 chose these 3 sets over the af tours, bec they are so damn easy to play (for blades.). the callway tour, bec the shafts are too rough(c-tapers) the miura cb3002 ( too cavity backed) these 3 irons offer a degree of verticle intergration form uber thin blades to thick baldes with slightly thicker soles to ,the very pro esques cavity muscles of the yammy tours . the shafts reflect the degree of difficulty. of the heads, the monacco stiff in the tourstage are nice and friendly to play, the monocco X are robsut striking irons . and the modus TX are down right aggressive! there should be enough variety here to give me THE best idea of what i hit well and what i dont hopefully CLUBS: toursatge 905 -monacco stiff yamaha tour 2011--ns modus 3 tx X epon personal--monacco X will be playing on VERY good quality grounds , that will be lush and thick so scoring shud be fine. mid week golf so no one wil be around so i can practice all i like. this shud be an iron battle royale....! oh and the drivers..... ryoma---crazy ls noir epon zero--diamana X yamaha tour--crazy cb50 epon 101--crazy boron bring on the hols! .

July 27, 201212 yr comment_183538 Here's something I just remembered, that I had forgotten and couldn't remember..... remember? The iron builds. are they all the same SW, same length? And do the lofts on these 3 sets match? . Edited July 27, 201212 yr by idrive
July 27, 201212 yr Author comment_183544 Good question no the tourstage are light at c9 the yams and epon very similar the lofts are prety right there may be 1' diff in lofts but i thi k they are all 48' pw maybe47

July 27, 201212 yr comment_183549 Good going Stew looking forward to the feedback but I can't stop thinking,what is happening to Stew only 3 sets to try on course! Surely you must have some other supa dupa protos in your cave gagging for an outing? ;-) Enjoy! F
July 27, 201212 yr Author comment_183566 Yes niseko is the new anexed state sad but true....., luckily for me i was going up there before gday mate became more recognisable than konichiwa... Still a beautiful place. 3sets is down right bloody hard with2kids in tow and as im only here a week 2or 3 games with each set is all ill get in that will def be enough tho who knows might be a heck of a good set of sticks to go at the end of it!!! Up here now in sapporo the humidity has already gone first round tomorrow with the yamaha tours
July 29, 201212 yr Author comment_183661 round 1the yamaha tours and i cant hit the ball better they are not as soft as epon but the modux tx x are super shafts keeps the pull from moving much lot stiffer that the monacco x lots...! round 2 tom with the tourstage th yam 11s are as solid a set of irons as there are end of chat. cud play these in a hurricane and come up trumps forgot how thumping they really are cud easily use a softer iron set easily......
July 30, 201212 yr Author comment_183713 Tourtage 905 monacco played today anither great day out Collating info in deep blue but one over riding constant thought keeps emerging on these heads which is what ithought when i first got em regardless ivr played them4times only and had 4 good rounds ball striking Shape!

Are these the "One's"??
July 30, 201212 yr comment_183715 I'm curious which are going to have the best feel.... give the biggest woody.... which look best at address.... which ones are the easiest to hit... interact with the ground best and which seem to be the most forgiving. I know forgiveness isn't as much a part of the equation when you're striking it pure but on that rare mis hit.... so, how's the weather????
July 30, 201212 yr comment_183744 wow with so many club try outs and tests How can anyone ever arrive at a choice that will make them happy?? Don't get me wrong Stew has been an awesome source of information. He has tried them and will shoot straight with you about his thoughts. I guess I am just ready to get off the club hoing for a while. it is fun but it has hurt my game this year. just too many driver and putter changes to settle in on a routine. no matter how far I hit a driver or how well a putter looks and performs, I always think there is a better club around the corner. OK personal rant over - great job Stew on sharing your info. It is a fun process for a while.
July 30, 201212 yr Author comment_183757 Robb i know what u mean if i was plying comp i wouldnt be doing this but we cant do that in jp so ijust have funtill i go home and play comp not surprisinly at home i dont change the comp bags much here tho well u gotta see the diversity of course to understand esp driver changes can work wonders on7250yard runway tracks or6300 yard pete dye things huge difference got the personals out today boy oh boy

July 31, 201212 yr Author comment_183780 At address the yamaha tours have a bewithing spell over me its the combo of the thin neck small hea. And high toe i love this look when implaying well i prefer to use this head the 905 are TINY and square but they dont look unplayable at all the soles are minisculefrom tight lies these are great but fir sloppy slushy fairways the yams are much more all round then the personals some where in between from lush they are lush from tight they have enough bidy to get down into the pill and the sole aint that bg it bouncesoff for miss hits its the personals by a mile out of these irons easily the most forgiving and def the bed feeling bit thicker all round but compactso miss**ts go well much much better the modus tx x are to much in the yam heads they are goin can play a softer shaft in these in fact i thnk they ned it im not strong enough to get the most out of them as a combo if u are these are the nuts! Im still yet to miss hit a personal badly its getting worrysome bec when i do the wheels wil come off im sure i get the3iron as good as the pw hard to knock that hard to competr with that these might just be the ones the monacco x is much better suited the stiff in the 905 move too much esp in the dcoring irons cudnt comtrol arc the x are prefect over all the personals just win they are bagged
July 31, 201212 yr comment_183783 Nice, I had a feeling they were going to be "the ones" I'm finally dialing mine in but I must say it took me longer than I thought it would. Without the lessons I took last week I'm not sure I would have. Nice to feel confident over the ball again. What I like about the Personals is there seems to be more feel to them. The AFTours when hit flush feel so soft it's almost like you have to look down to make sure you've hit the ball,. With the Personals you know exactly where and how you've hit the shot on the club face without looking. I wouldn't worry about mis hitting the ball, I don't think you're capable of it. :) Do we have a clear winner with the Driver?
July 31, 201212 yr comment_183815 Stew, hate to say this but you need to try the RomaRo H forged Blades before declaring the ultimate combo. I just got a set and they are in my opinion, the ultimate combo in feel and performance. I have Monaco stiff's in them as I'm getting old! Great Holiday Niseko, Winter or Summer!!!! Pete

I find that if I'm forever looking for the holy grail, it actually casts doubt on the gear I currently have which will ultimately creep into my game. That being said, what's everyone liking in terms of new drivers;)
