wmclarenf1 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 There was a demo day at the range I frequent today and one of the brands was Yonex. I have not noticed it being mentioned here at all and was wondering why. I say this because they felt wonderful to hit! The rep tells me they forged by endo for them and the feel definitely confirms that. The muscle back (can't remember model) felt soft, solid, dense and all nice adjectives you would associate with a great club and was, for a muscle back, extremely forgiving. The club that impresses me is a 2012 CB model. Again I know not the model and would e greatly if anyone can help out. Although it was shafted with a DG S200 which is heavier and I think stiffer than my quadra 652 SR hard stepped, it felt so good hit and very forgiving. The size looked a tad big but that 6I was so easy to hit. Anyone know the model? Oh.... Hit some stones lofted On Off as well. Nice but not as nice as the Yonex CB despite the on off being shafted with a NS Pro 950. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Mate I've often thought the same thing. Hardly ever mentioned. I have a set of the Ezone blades with Crazy steels and they are the irons I play with the most. As good as anything out there in my opinion. Didnt know they were Endo forged though. I thought they were done by Kyoei so it is good to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIduffer Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 I believe this are called the NanoV. Actually a little older than the Ezone. There was some love a year or two ago but they haven't seemed to do much lately and you know how we're ADD when it comes to gear... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don;t think its the Nano V which I saw at my fitters the other day (coincidentally now that I think of it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were done by Kyoei so it is good to know. The Blades were amazingly forgiving and the feel.... wow and they had stock DG S300s on them and they felt great. Nice clean design. Satin/matt like finish. Very very nice! But its the one I snapped that has me thinking now. Only down side of that is the slightly big size. Apart from that, very nice. And not too much offset as well. Edited April 28, 2013 by wmclarenf1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmclarenf1 Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Found it. Its called the Yonex Ezone Forged CB Iron.. "Designed for the player needing an easier, comfortable forged iron, the EZONE Forged PB (Pocket Back) with its mid-sized Japan forged head, off-set flow design, peripheral weighting and pocket back cavity gives a new level of feel and control for ambitious players. It's an easy to use iron that delivers ‘attack the pin’ performance, and is available in 4-PW with Regular or Stiff NS950 Steel shafts."

wmclarenf1 Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Hmmm... thinking of a 4-6I Forged CB and 7-9 MB combo now. dammit! Edited April 28, 2013 by wmclarenf1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lykato Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 I tried a couple of yonex blades before and they felt rock hard, but they do look nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaaayelll Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 I have the Ezone MB and find them as good as anything out there. I still can't decide between them and my Yururi. Hard on big misses, clicky on slight misses, absolute butter on center strikes. Oh, the Yonex wedges are great, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 We covered the PB in June 2011. That's how long it's been around, the sad part is they haven't replaced it with anything quality. When Yonex made it's big push was in 2011 when they signed Ryo Ishikawa, since then it's been down hill. They did great selling drivers although we noticed they didn't last long in peoples bags, they did pretty decent with the Kyoei forged MB and the PB although a great iron didn't do so well. Since then most of the product has been on the cheesy side. We have pics of the entire new line up if anyone is interested. It's not Endo unfortunately. i-Ezone is the new wood & iron line up.

Spin was very decent even with range rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmclarenf1 Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 The blade is forged by Kyoei. Interesting. I specifically asked the rep where these were forged and he mention by endo in japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
