Posted February 12, 201312 yr when my swing goes (which happens at least twice per year) i end up pull/drawing my shots until i can get things back together. during these sessions i'd like to grab an iron that is a bit easier to hit flush than a pure blade/mb and since i go left, as little offset as possible is a must. i'm not sure anything can do a better job at handling my swing during these times than my cobra s3 pro's but in typical jdm ho fashion, i'm willing to investigate...
February 13, 201312 yr how about tourstage the 701 set ive got , fro ma cpl of seasons back would fit that bill the new ones might be even better ?
February 13, 201312 yr My 435 brother, Take a look at the RomaRo H irons. As you have seen with the side by side pics I posted with the Personals as well as the Epon Techinity, the H have very little offset (less than the Technity and a lot less than the Personals). Also, what about a straight neck Miura Giken like the 1007s? IIRC, they have very little offset as well. Could be wrong though.
February 13, 201312 yr New onoff has less off set than old model. And they are very forgiving. I have times like that.... and I know my onoff will do the job....

February 13, 201312 yr I'll have to agree with Tae. Ive never hit anything softer AND forgiving like the 2013 Onoff's w/ aerotechs. They have little offset especially for a medium sized players cavity back.
February 13, 201312 yr Author the romaro's have been on the top of my list for a while now. is the "neo blade" design really as forgiving as a cb? the new tourstage mc, as well as cb, both look like they might also be a worthy contender. the onoff's look pretty good but iirc, their lofts seemed a bit strong. not sure about the miuras but they could grow on me...
February 13, 201312 yr I think you mean minimal offset. No offset as in 0 offset would make any iron perform poorly. Offset is a very good thing even for top level players.

February 13, 201312 yr when my swing goes bad i'd bet i could use positive offset!! Thats actually callen onset. Yes, really
February 13, 201312 yr No offset JDM irons... let me think what come to mind... how about Tokoro George's Hammer Irons?!?!?!?!??!?!? Edited February 13, 201312 yr by Golfbaka
February 13, 201312 yr There's an actor/celebrity called Tokoro George. he does quite a lot of TV golf matches and has a column in Japan's Golf Digest. And markets and sells those monsters. I remember seeing them for sale in the Japan Airlines in flight magazine...
February 13, 201312 yr Wow those things are...something. Instead of Draw Up they should have called them Back to the Drawing Board. The RomaRo H won't have what I would describe as "off day forgiveness." It's more like, "Slightly better than blade forgiveness." I feel like you're looking for something a tick more automatic than "slightly better than blade forgiveness." The OnOff would be recommendation. You could always bend the OnOff a bit weaker if you wanted. Leading edge relief is pretty good on this model so I don't see it changing bounce as much as a less beveled iron style. I have mine getting reshafted with Recoils and should have them either today or tomorrow and hope to get a mini review posted soon.
February 13, 201312 yr No offset JDM irons... let me think what come to mind... how about Tokoro George's Hammer Irons?!?!?!?!??!?!? That looks like the illegitimate child of that shank-proof wedge (the Alien?) and those adjustable irons from the 70's. Any one remember those? A whole set of irons in one club where you could unscrew it and adjust the loft from wedge to 3-iron. Edited February 13, 201312 yr by Miuramaniac
February 13, 201312 yr I do remember those adjustable travel irons. As a matter of fact saw them about a month ago of all places, the Proshop at Orange County National in Orlando. Can't imagine they would sell much of those clubs at the place. Edited February 14, 201312 yr by Duffer19
February 13, 201312 yr Non JDM- taylormade R9 TP "b" iron, they are onset. They don't feel anything like JDM irons.
February 14, 201312 yr i saw the hammers a cpl of weeks back i was going to get one to try but they are really expensive.
February 14, 201312 yr i saw the hammers a cpl of weeks back i was going to get one to try but they are really expensive. really? haha i couldnt game those just too odd. make a good match with the axis eagle. anyway hows the offset of the kamui kp101?
