June 12, 20195 yr I am really liking my 2015 OnOff Kuros right now. My mis**ts (and there are quite a few of those) are toward the toe and distance are just slightly effected.

June 13, 20195 yr Late to the party ... but I just started testing out the Yonex N1-CB just 2 days ago and they are very good. Not as buttery dense as the IDBLs but much more forgiving. Semi-automatic steerability. Small offset. Very underrated. these are 2015 models but in 2017 Yuta Ikeda won the money ranking with these. Supposedly better overall than the newer CB-501 and CB-301. Will likely game these for the rest of the season. Made in Niigata Japan!! Epon 505s are really good too.
June 13, 20195 yr 5 hours ago, supo said: all done, decision made. epon 303 got the nod. w/NS 950s These for you stew? Starting to ease off on shaft weights a bit?
June 14, 20195 yr The Yonex N1-CB look great and a lot like my royal collection s.f.i. forged cavity backs from about ten years ago (albeit the arc's have more offset). I am an 8 and they seem to blend playability, workability and forgiveness quite well - these can be found at a discount.
September 3, 20204 yr I agree with Dr.Shankenstein I love my 2015 Kuros. Long and very forgiving. When it comes to excellent iron choices like the ones mentioned, it's hard to go wrong. Try them all (if you can), but I think that how they look at address inspires confidence and that is also very important.
September 21, 20204 yr So looking at the list of candidates, I would say that Seven SCs actually fall right into this category with modern lofts and very playeresque design, appearance, feel as well as performance. I am loving mine and have been tinkering around with different shafts. I probably tried 3 different shafts over the last 3 months. and going on my 4th this week. Crazy CBI-80, AMT White S300, DG 105, Modus 120 S and now Modus 105 R. I am also playing Seven CB Prototypes with NS950GH S which I feel are a great match and is a perfect set to carry around in my Sunday bag. My Seven CBs are not the CNC milled type but the first generation made of S15C. Very compact with longer hosel which implies slightly higher CG.
July 9, 20213 yr Author sooooooooooooooooo , im revisting this bec after my mate got set i had to play some due to injury , i tried many many many sets this season but there has been a clear standout. surprised the be- hey-zeus outta me. at first ,but then it didnt. the winner was ..... yamaha inpres x V forged the non tour variety ,, just the common or garden endo forged model. from 2010. very impressive - ( as the name suggests) really. i tried 3 sets of EPONS, 2 sets of onoffs, 4 sets of prgrs, , XXIO, ( they, i think are still the best beginners clubs ever ) and a set of pings.. ( wont be doing that again) but these yammies are getting re shafted with a lovely set of super peening reds and put back in play , especially when it gets colder! They are a mid/large size head , not gigantic ( like the ping things i hit ) but not comapct, they are noticeably easier on the eye than the tour model and a cpl of my fave old prgrs, the md900s and idbl even the epon 502s which to me were a bit too chunky. The yams have a thicker top line with a rounded head shape , not a high sharp toe, just a really nice easy confidence inspiring look to them. The kicker that did it over the others was the neckline, it just looks spot on thin with the hint of gooseneck / offset but not pronounced just enough to make it look like easy to hit and frames the ball fully Didnt matter on any kind of grass, thick , wet, dead pan, doesnt seem to matter, it just looks great. feel is a little more tthin compared to the more compact /robust player cavities but not so much that it needs attention, the ultralight shafts played as much a part in this as the heads . Just saying if you are looking for a set of bats that are so all round its scary then u can definitely do yourself a disservice by not looking back a few years. Edited July 9, 20213 yr by supo
