mastaj Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Hey guys, due to complications I wasn't able to pick up a set of personals.. Long story.. Anyway, I am back to the big iron search and became interested in the new X-Blade 707 model. Tried the search button and not much came up. Also watched the video by Gocchin, but still want to learn a bit more. Has anyone tried or gamed these? Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 cant help u with the 707.. but i can give usome clues as ive got and palyed the 701s. if ur a pretty good stirker.. dont have to be awsome.. just good ...,then u will LOVE these irons . if u like no offest. medium body head.., thin top line .. VERY thick muscle on a thin cavity. with a square look.. then theres no reason u wont like these, bec to hit.. they are really really good. they are very workable. the sole is realtively thin .. thinner than the yamaha tours and epon 302s and such so they are prob aimed at the better plAYER loking for smalls forgiveness.... i saw the 701s and liked the fact they didnt have t all the "modern" ness to them. simple lines simple design that , when u hit it is delicious... im guessing the newer model is prob more forgiving... if the 701 is anything to go by then the new model will be terrific.

idrive Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Tourstage Irons are what started me into the JDM world. 2004. bought a set of X-blades and the rest is history. The obvious quality, craftsmanship and performance was so much better than all the USDM stuff I was trying out it was mind blowing. Almost a shame their irons don't have the same following here they did years back. Probably nobody any better. Never met a Tourstage Iron I didn't like sorry no help with the 707's but I can assure you if you're looking for a Players cavity back they will not disappoint.

IshikawaFAN Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) Based on looks and previous old sets of tourstage irons I've gamed in the past... their x models are a fine product! If you were looking at epon personals, I would suggest getting the 905 cb instead of the 707. Now, If you are not limiting your choice to just tourstage irons, I have also owned yamaha irons and would suggest yamaha V forged non tour. The srixon Z725 are some solid looking attractive CB sticks too. I haven't tested these NEW models but I am sure you will not go wrong with either of these sets. I'm currently gaming blades and saving up for the NEW Z925! The shape of those fit my eye, but If I were considering a CB, I would go with one of those I mentioned above.

mastaj Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Thanks for all the inputs guys. I am a bit surprised that Tourstage although still very respected, is no longer on top of people's lists anymore. On other hand, the Yamaha V forged (both tour and non tour) are getting some serious love here in TSG!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
actiona Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I have TS 707 Irons with Modus shafts special order from TS. I was playing epon 302's with C tapers. I find that 707 similar to 302's but easier to launch long irons, a little more forgiving than 302's. Otherwise they have the same great qualities of the 302's, accuracy, feel. Highly recommended Just played one round with the TS 707 driver with Fujikura Bangvoo. Easy to bend shots and hit fairways. Low spin, Good distance.
