shoutout33 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 What's up TSG!!! It's been forever since I've posted on these forums, basically because I got discouraged that I wouldn't be able to afford any of these awesome clubs. Well....actually, I still can't, but had the money in my hands until I had to take care of other bills. :( Anywho, I feel encouraged, because I will be getting a new job and will be moving to an area (Mobile, AL) where the cost of living isn't as steep here in the DC area. Therefor, I'm preparing my wish list now for the stuff I will be saving up for. Gocchin has already helped me with golf shoes, and I trully appreciate his help and knowledge. OK. As the Topic Title suggests, I am looking for some component blades that are similar to the KZG Blades. I was working with a club fitter a while back, but never finished my set. I have a 6 iron built by him, but I can't remember if I hit it or not. Even though I haven't been playing in some years, I know I can hit these blades, because I did it at one of his demo days where you could switch out they heads. I realized that day, that as long as I have the correct shaft length, I'm good. Plus, I prefer hitting blades anyway. When I played in high school, I played with a set of MacGregor Golden Bear blades. They weren't in the best shape, but when I hit them right, it made me want to continue hitting them right. LOL! Before I leave, I plan to take this iron and see if it feels similar to what I hit at the demo day. I do have some questions about the following blades thought: -Does Taylormade have a JP verstion of their Tour Preferred MB irons? If so, are they made of S25C steel and can you get them as components? -Did the Kenmochi blades come out this year? Didn't see them in the store at all, so wasn't sure. -Which companies sell components other than Geotech? -Off subject question: I'd really like to try some JP grips, but they are really really expensive!!! I knew the clubs would be, but not the grips! (I know, how am I a member of the forums and don't know that all JP stuff is expensive...go figure. :p) What's the best way to try some JP grips to figure out what you like or not? I was thinking of narrowing down to three somehow and try them on the club I have built now, but not sure if this is the best way to do it. Like I said, don't have the cash right now, but I will be saving towards my future clubs and buying a little bit here and there till I'm finally done. As always TSG, thanks in advance for the advice, input, and sincere replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swisstrader Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Hey, you are the first guy I have ever met that would like to demo grips!! Funny, but best way is when you demo just about anything JDM, they usually are gripped w Iomics or something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIduffer Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 On the component stuff, at least what is listed as head only. Alternately, have them made in such a way that you can get them disassembled and rebuilt with a minimal incremental cost... Or just learn your specs and ask them to build what you want...

chiromikey Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 to demo grips just have your builder blow them on and off without any tape. this way you don't run the risk of ruining them during removal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
