Hi there, Just landed here after trying to open an account.

Being playing japanese brands for ages but recently showing even more interest. Came across a set of PRGR DATA 801 but unable to find much info about them tried webarchive and japanese translator but still blind.

Saw an old post in which @supo made same comments.

Overall I'd appreciate if could provide more info, like blade length, sole width, etc aand how would they compare with my existing gamers, B'stone J38 DPC and TS X Blade CB, looking for something more forgiving specially on the long irons

cheers from sunny Scotland!

well. ive had these in play for 20+ yrs,
definitley one of the easiest sets of clubs to hit a bal lwith ever.
wont make it go in any direction. just " out that way "

they have a sharper leading edge than most GI irons which i prefer.

good feel, a little thin tho

if your goal is to hit the ball then these will work well

Thanks @supo bet being from that era have weaker lofts for today's standard even on players iron,right? i.e. P at 47°-48°

Moving the ball with a 4, 5 iron is not my aim.

Ever read this model was a collaboration with Miura rather than Endo, is that true?

So in terms of blade length will be about that, 82 mm toe to heel, or even larger? What about sole width, somewhere larger than a CB?

Thanks again

yea i rem that being the case with some /one of thier irons , but i cant rem which ones to be specific.

the ones i prefed more were the miura cb3001s which are strikingly simialr but with more wokability, well relatively.
they are better, ive still got those u can see the similarites .

........................... i had prob my best ever ball striking round with those one chilly winters day ,

scooped the pool, playing nasau. kept me wine for months!

fond some info about the PRGR 801 attached and a comparison with old Mizuno T-Zoid which are the parents of MX23 I ever played. https://ameblo.jp/asotoh/image-12657712453-14898821623.html

Still missing some specs, how would you compare or if own them send a pic of those you mentioned Miura CB3001 with the PRGR Data 801 something modern CB's like the Tourstage or B'stone I alternate

As said, but noted need more forgiveness on the long irons, can a good price on 2nd hand market for them

cheers
