supo Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) Finally got a cpl of rounds in at an old fave course, I played the back tees in what cud be called just short of a bloody cyclone the second round ! The old wind was hurtling of Fuji like that cartoon Tasmanian devil, I was hitting driver 3 iron or 4iron into 1/3 of the par 4s, let alone the par 5s, they were driver 14* 3w full 52*/pw wedge! tough days out to start, and here I was thinking a driver 9i/wedge wud be a nice way to start , ha !!!! Needless to say...................., I didn't score overly well, (78/82) even tho I hit 12 and 13 of 14 fairways over the two days and crushed the irons , ill take both scores to open up , esp on the second day when it was crazy windy , ie ball blowing off the tee kinda blowy and day 2 i opened up with an 8 and finished with a 6!, that 81 will be in my , " ill remember that day" list, seriously I cant think of a better ball striking day in recent memory , EPON af tours to the rescue!!!! My distance wasn't bad off the tee, not great but totally acceptable first days back and accuracy was excellent, putting was pretty good too , only 2 birds over the weekend both on day 2 to go with that quad and triple to totally ruin the score. The ballstriking ,ill put it down to the fact my back has ben rested for 3-4 months nad im not hip sliding anymore , ive basically not picked up a club really since novemeber so it felt brand new ive only had a cpl of quick range sessions over winter but really nothing substantial this was my biggest take way, NO residual discomfort or tightness what so ever in my lower back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A fact of life id been playing with for a such long, lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time id accepted it as normal, and normal it most certainly isn't!!!!!! Long may this feeling remain and my post games recovery has been very good too. Got the bug back finally!!! btw............................ the modart 14* 3w and crazy la bomba white stiff combo has completely and utterly altered my perception of how good a combo they are. whn u don't hit balls fro a while and u go straight into the top shelf ur eyes pop! going to be hard to get that out of the bag this season IF there is a rest of the season !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RLL33 Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Glad to hear, especially the news about your back. I pray that I'll get to that point with mine. (My Club here in CA is going under financially... We'll see if it even survives under new ownership when this virus gets through with everyone and everything...) But... with my back, I haven't played a full round in over a year now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted May 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) Back out agn on course with pretty sever restrictions. no rakes, change rooms closed,no restarurant,no caddies, no players! 6groups out, was heaven. took some oldies but goodies out. epon 101 drivers, labospec tataki75xs and diamana stinger both 9.5* syardxv15* diamana aliislei 73s prgr idbl prgr tr quad forged endo japan beauties form 2004 anyone with a spare epon head thinking of a shaft to match it with... labo is spectacular..spectacular!!!!! used for 9holes multiple drives each. cant bel im saying thus but i prefered the labo!!! lower straighter flight path which i prefer to see. syard was easy to hit it laucnhes high and loads of carry ,canmove it both ways and a draw gets some cheat yards chasing the longers par5s. idbl irons....ns2g18s shafts. Forgot how nice these are to hit but took me a while to get re aquanted to the size of them they are not buter soft they have some crispness to them but dead centre u cant feel a thing. Ive been using mb only for2 seasons now so everything not mb looks huge in comparison, these looked big to my eye. Which is weird bec they most assureadly are not! zero offset to speak of,flat sole to the ground and a rounded sqaure high toe that gives just a hint of workability, the shots i messed up were the ones i was trying to shape a lot like a MB but cudnt get them to do it as much. when i went tiny block fade tiny baby draw they were sensational and point shoot and use the trajectory as the working these were awsome. Wedges were so nice ,not played these in5yrs, NS st X in then so a bit light and flighty for my taste, but they grip and sing like the best , these were the pinacle of wedges way back when quad forged by endo japan nit many can say that, nice look plainjnae style great feel off the face slightly,workble and versatlie but like the irons better suited for flight control. funny thing im not sure i can go back to non mbs any more the heads just look BIG. good day tho 38/41 nothing great , except for the drivers i killed it with them great to be back out again hitting some balls. that epon labo is akeeper!
