+TourSpecGolfer Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Here's another one. Ako-san's main expertise is in designing fairway and utility clubs including hybrids and driving irons. He is the man who designed all the best sonartec/royal collection clubs during their hay day. The A-Grind wedges are also something special. Ako-san a man who drives from JPGA event to event arguably produces the best shaped fairway clubs ever. In a nutshell your looking at the proto hybrid with a widersole and more shallow face. It's not for the high handicap either. I'm moving to these for now. STP shafts will be the ticket of course.

bngolfer Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I use an RC 505V, I assume that is an Ako-san design. This looks tasty too! Also have an old Sonartec HB001 that is really nice. Chris, I have a Precept prototype Club-X that Tad Moore gave me in 1997. It was from Japan and the first hybrid ever I've been told. Remember those?

+TourSpecGolfer Posted November 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Yes Club-X was a popular iron back in the day That old school Bridgestone connection. Not the easiest to hit if I recall correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bngolfer Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 No, forward cg did not help with elevation. I carried a 1-iron back then and rarely used the club-x. It is cool though ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjr. D Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Loved all my Royal Collection Hybrids back in the day and my A-Grind proto is spectacular as well. This looks even better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
