Have to agree with everything you've said Dan. I cant wait to get mine with the KBS TourV 125's out to the course. The range sessions and indoor numbers have me super excited.
I really like the color fill...but opted to go completely raw.

Like Dan said, it's hard to suggest to someone else what shaft you should go with. I haven't hit the Nippon 120, so I can't compare the two. The progressive setup will help a bit with the launch on the long irons if that is something you feel like you may need. I like the DG Pros so far. I've had a few shots with the long irons where I've ballooned it, but those are the exception for me. I don't have plans to swap shafts right now.
Noted and Thanks , Spicoli and Canadan, for the input, I liked what I was feeling and seeing from the DG during my Test Drive on the CB, so decided to stop contemplating and go with what worked when I hit them, was told 2 to 3 weeks before delivery though UGH! Will have to plug along with my J38 DPC (not such a bad thing).
Thanks
No problem. 2 to 3 weeks can seem like an eternity when you are waiting for new clubs. Keep us posted on how the J15 works for you.

Hit these again today at the range and still get a big smile. I think these with the Tour V are a win for me. Once I get through a few live rounds will post some thoughts. In case what I'm seeing is simply that and not reality.
I got out yesterday for a range session and played 9 afterwards. I really do like what Bridgestone has done with the sole of the J15. I never had any issues with my J40s in terms of digging, (and I'm not usually one who pays a ton of attention to "turf interaction") but the Wide Sure Contact Sole just seems to work well for me. I still have not had an opportunity to compare the J15 to J40 side-by-side in terms of distance, but I feel like I'm maybe getting a little more distance out of the J15. I'm hitting the J15 comfotably to distances with the same club where I might be swinging hard with the J40. A poor swing will still get punished by these as when I saw a two weeks ago teeing off without warming up in some cold temps. I unfortunately have not had the change to play a lot since getting these, but hopefully I will get out more once the weather gets better and we have longer days. I'm liking what I am seeing so far though.

As I posted on Twitter, Sneds has put these in the bag (4-9) and playing them with Aerotech graphite shafts.

It has. He switched out to KBS steel for a bit, but back to graphite.
These are on my ponder list, cannot wait to give them a strike. The struggle to find it in the shaft I want is frustrating

What shaft are you looking for in them?
X100's the stores here do not carry them. Usually special orders when you purchase

Why not order direct from a BStone dealer? They'll give you a variety of shafts and grips to pick from without an upcharge (which is awesome).
I would but wanting to try these options in store before buying. The demo options is a possibility at the moment. So much to factor in

Yep the x-100 is no upcharge as well. I almost went with them before I went with the combo I have now. Any Bridgestone dealer should be able to make it happen. A few of the reputable online dealers do Bridgestone as well. I put my order in through Ken at Victory Custom Golf which is not local to me but I use a good amount for various things. While I had a small delay on bridgestones end both Ken and Bstone made the situation more than right with me and I couldn't be happier.
I was told by an associate at golf town " if I want the x100's I will have to buy them and if they do not click I will have to pay a return penalty" I thought that was a bit rough, maybe I will try elsewhere.

Try elsewhere I asked at two different places and was told it was no upcharge. I think return policy will depend on where you get them.
I would try that test drive program I think they have the X100's I was stuck also didn't know between cavity backs or dual forged also unsure about the shafts, but really like the DG pro and did the test drive , made my decision and bought the cavity backs
I think the other retailer has more selection , better prices so win win there.
I will also look into this option as well if the retailer does not have any available. Thanks for all the advice

I have an iron fitting next Saturday and these are definitely number 1 on my list! They won't have the head during the fitting since they don't stock Bridgestone (especially not LH), so any recommendations on a somewhat similar head?
