James Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 I've noticed that these brands are not mentioned here. I don't know why but...The face of the 4 star Honma driver was very hot., as well as the S Yard fairways. Does anyone know where to get these?

+TourSpecGolfer Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 I've noticed that these brands are not mentioned here. I don't know why but...The face of the 4 star Honma driver was very hot., as well as the S Yard fairways. Does anyone know where to get these? Yes I can get them for you no problem. The reason why I don't mention them on this site is because of their noodle shafts and 2 degree close faces. I do have access to custom made tour issue honma but it will cost you an arm and leg.

Breal Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 and a big arm and leg if that my as well buy irons..JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 I hit one and I agree about the shaft. But I liked the light head on the honma and the feel of the s yard. How are their irons? Would you reccommend the r7 rather than them? (for feel and distance) Thanks alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxio Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Honma has been moving away from the gold plated stuff lately. They actually have normal looking stuff. The Tour World "athlete" blades and the Tour World P CBs are last years models but are very very good. They also now have heavier shaft options for the better players as well.

robbie Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 i gotta agree with u there...ive been pulling old stuff out of the closet like my syard fairway woods and my honma lb300 driver....they feel awesome !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 wow we DO have some Honma and SYard people here. Yeah. I tried the 300lb with a different shaft and it feels a lot like the old school big berthas cept much longer. Has anyone tried their irons?

Yep..i have a set of blades...they are the pp727..tour special bullet back...and i used to own a set of the tour cavity backs....hf 737...or something like that...super soft forging but lots of offset even for the tour model...the blades are awesome but the sole design needs updating !

xxio Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Almost all Honmas are not forged but they do use a specific "soft steel" that feel on par or even better than the very good forgings. Maruman is also going that way with the Exims made of soft steel. I have a guest set of LB 280s in a "black barrel" finish. They look like a hybrid of blades and Ping Eye 2s. They are Regular flex graphite so they don't really make my personal rotation. But the quality is top notch. When I ordered these custom when I said 37.75 5 iron they asked if that was length with or without grip. :surprize: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
