Posted November 9, 20168 yr 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.
November 9, 20168 yr 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?
November 10, 20168 yr Author 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?
November 10, 20168 yr 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 ?
November 10, 20168 yr Loved all my Royal Collection Hybrids back in the day and my A-Grind proto is spectacular as well. This looks even better!
