supo Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) Had a good chat with the owner of Waoow drivers on sat at the range , he had a stall up and said come have a hit so I did, had a variety of drivers ,shaft, specs so I tried them out. head shape at address Is VERY reminiscent of the PRGR rs range. face shape is deep and triangular with a compact look for its size, shafts something called ARCH , never heard of them but they are designed to do the big high launch thing and fall over like an,,,,,,,,,,,,,,arch! FOR THE LIFE OF ME I AGREE with that, they laucnehd very high and did what they said. feel was tops , like MODART.. muted and sweet. soft sound, soft feel, I liked it , very much the opposite of my set ups. I took my dirver I had in my bag and showed him the difference in flight, he said ,ahh u msut be English or Aussie , no one would play that flight here.. hahahhahaha. iagreed! Then I ahd a peek in HIS bag.... ohhh yea! the irons I found were something I FINALLY decided I cud buy and kick some others out. they are custom grinds. called AXIS, I know the wedges but t hey are super exxy and I just cant spend t ha much on wedges so I let them pass in the past. buti had a hit with his irons,, Z2 mbi precision CNC forged of s20c steel. DG tour issue x100 in them and they didn't miss a beat, PW is fantastic to look at at address, no offset, thick sole, thic muscle and semi thick top line with a comapact size. LOVED THE LOOK. hit a feew 7 irons and just said yup can add these to the masda, epon honma tourstage stable with ease. solid impact,, super solid impact. will consider these with great interest as the season this year kicks off. 3 thumbs up!.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 There isn't any process called CNC Forged. AXIS is using KYOEI forging and Oichi in others . S25C and S15 or SS400. Right now there is a huge issue with brands in Japan stating S20C when using SS400 or S15C. For example Axis Z1 wedge and irons is S25C by KYOEI - Z2 and MB is claimed S20C but its an Oichi blank thats never been offered in S20C. Oichi does not have S20C but I see brands using Oichi forgings and labelling them S20C. If I contact Oichi today there is no S20C. Also only the back face is CNC milled which is a travesty, Where CNC matters is that the face and grooves are milled not the back face. Also anything KYOEI has more presses and a precision press where Oichi does not have a precision press. Precision press is exactly what Miura calls W.D.D and Miura learned that at KYOEI. imo. forging vs forging KYOEI tops Miura and Oichi but for shape, fit and finish Miura wins. U guys want TSG to sell AXIS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregoire56 Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 I saw a picture of this Waoww driver before and was not a fan of the name or the aesthetics at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted February 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) yea ive seen that particular driver head about it looks crap! hes got normal ones in all black that look fine and the other colourfull ones that , well... don't really look that great . I thought his axis were prob. form kyoei, they have that look to them and a very full feel, not butter soft. solid,dense,full. big fan of that feel and as I hit them with DG x100s in winter one cud only imagine what a nice set of NS in summer might be like! Honestly if u added them to the stabl e these days I don't thiunk ud sell a single set. NO ONE plays/wants mbs here anymore for a lot of years... id prob ask him to tone down the lettering a bit, the heads alone don't require much ado, they look great without any wording at al Edited February 5, 2020 by supo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
