+TourSpecGolfer Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Special thanks to member Chiromikey for collaborating with us on this design! It's a very cool concept iron, the set in these photos are one of a kind. The concept is a strong lofted MB with a PW at 44* This is awesome because it also allows us to use the same mold PW and bend it into a 50* AW the benefit of this is another approach club part of the same set that has the same feel and appearance as the rest of your irons for improved consistency and flow. S15C Forged, Hand Grind + CNC Milled center channel. Full story in the blog w/photos right here! #4 #8 #AW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobmontana Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 This is becoming a club hoarders' torturing forum! Just after signing up for the Shinagawa blades, I see this post! Darn... so many great new options and so little budget to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertigo88 Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Why strong lofted but zero offset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted March 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Why strong lofted but zero offset? It's got offset just very little also strong lofts don't go against minimal offset. strong lofts means more distance but also a lower trajectory on a blade with a slightly lower CG than other blades as planned it averages it out. Most important was by strengthening the lofts it allowed us to add a set matching AW because we used the #3 mold to produce the #4 and so fourth.

Petethepilot Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Loft numbers stamped on the bottom mean nothing! Todays lofts are way stronger than traditional ones. What matters are that the gaps work. A matching 50* A wedge is a great result. Heads look great too! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiromikey Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Well mikey, are you gonna tell us how these feel/play or whaaaat??!! ;) You have no idea how I've anticipated these! I hope to have a set in burning copper if everything works out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiromikey Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 He dont have them yet, nor do I we are still working on the final product. Its been over a year already on this one. You know, when we first talked about this and you swore me to secrecy, I didn't know I'd have to keep my mouth shut for this long! I bet if I went to a psychiatrist he'd affirm that some of my binge drinking was a direct result of not being able to talk about these!

ukok Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 They look very similar to the Golden Ratio MB1 irons? Was this your inspiration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) Hmmmmm to me , they are slightly like a non gooseneck yonex ezone shinagawa ishikawa blade in my eyes Edited March 11, 2016 by supo67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobmontana Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Initially reminded me also of the Ezone MB. does the back face channel contribute to adding slight forgiveness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Hmmmmm to me , they are slightly like a non gooseneck yonex ezone shinagawa ishikawa blade in my eyes I have other prototypes using the exact same mold as the yonex ezones but found those to be just decent in feel and forgiveness. We used a larger head mold for this particular design and now its much softer and more forgiving. keep in mind this is just a one off here fellas, insipiration was the Yonex Ezone as you can see in the milled channel.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted March 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 I'll give you the lofts but not FP or Bounce - 50/46/42/38/34/30/26/22 This prototype is forged of S15C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlee0303 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 I thought you said PW is 44, but it's 46? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
