vanla01 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Whatcha think of the new S-yard irons and golf bag?? Edited March 12, 2013 by TourSpecGolfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-500 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 I've read that the GT Type S is a Epon 302 with different stamping? Don't like the GI irons. The bags on the other hand look great. Would game them no problem :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoreBeerBetterGolf Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 301 maybe but certainly not 302. Not a fan of the irons but I like the bags pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleUK Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Seen those Bags before... Just with the unmentionable's Brand name on lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmclarenf1 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Given the radical nature of the Bold, the irons are quite a let down. Bag wise I'll stick to my Oakleys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idrive Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 I could be wrong, first time for everything.... but I think those irons have been around for a while, at least the type S I am quite interested to see the new releases tho.

RLL33 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 I saw and liked that bag in the background pics of the article on Kobayashi-san and the T.388. Am interested as well to see if the Bold line produces new irons in addition to the beautiful wedges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffer19 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 I think the irons are old models. They need to come up with new model to match the Bold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miuramaniac Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) The irons, meh. But I'll take one of those bags in blue and white, please. And I'll pay a little extra if that gal in your avatar delivers it! Edited March 11, 2013 by Miuramaniac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swisstrader Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I always wonder if iron makers actually talk to golfers to say "whatchathink"? I'm guessing most would say these miss the mark by a mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 that xt looks like a 702 iron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lousifers Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Hit the demo irons at GC here. The feeling is somewhat like On-Pee irons. Kinda like the stock shafts. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoreBeerBetterGolf Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 On-Pee irons? Is that a real brand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coops1967 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) Those irons aren't even new to Tourspecgolf either..... Golfcraft in Bangkok now stocks lots of S-Yard gear too... hmmm. Saw the T388 at last - wish i had camera to take comparison shots to my Mizuno 611. Put that very nice matte black look on the mizuno and it would be an easy win for the 611 I'd snagged a set of the Women's S-Yard iron heads for the wife - she's very happy with them, shafted with the NS 750 shaft, which is bonkers light - very effective. The 6 is undercut, and they look very decent and forged... not overly offset of too chunky. Best thing is i got them before the new arrivals - now you have no choice but to get them with the default pink graphite shaft.... and what's more.... PRICE of ONE iron club with the pink shaft?.......... 9000baht give or take ===> say about $300 US Oh, and there's another ladies iron club made from Titanium forged body, with a titanium face and tungsten weights.... would be up there with honma prices i guess. I've hit her S-Yards... nice. And look better than those men's XT stuff... http://www.tourspecgolf.com/images/Senifinasm.jpg Edited March 11, 2013 by coops1967 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lousifers Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 You have to pronounce it On-Pee => EE-Pon. Sorry guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddmnkey Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Fugly irons, bags are ok. Very interested to see what S Yard has coming out w/ Kobayashi san now in charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffer19 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 It seems that the old Japanese gentleman would have the right for S-Yard for SEA except China and Korea. How does it work for TSG on S Yard ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 None of those irons are actually new. The bag is reasonably new. The XT and GT Type S are last year and the X-Lite are 2011. I have gamed all the irons and the GT Type S is in fact similar to the AF302. The GT Type S as well as the XT irons were designed by Kobayashi-san FOR S-yard while he was president of Endo and chief design Meister. (meaning he did the bulk of designing for all Endo customer brands). I have gamed both the GT Type S which are very nice but produce a stronger trajectory than the AF302 which launch higher. This is due to the higher cavity and CG position in the GT Type S. I did not like the XT admitedly when I first saw them but I love them now. They are very automatic and the distance is simply awesome just like the driver. I prefer them over my old AF701 which again they have a similar design to. What turned me off about the XT iron was the shiny face but when I spoke to S-Yard they told me it was a special chrome coating to protect the irons in the long run. I went to the range and hit about fifty range balls, leaving marks all over the face. One wipe with a DRY towel, removed ALL the marks and it looked like it had never been hit. Feel is very good and not clicky which is surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
