Hi, I am a new member to the forum. I enjoy reading all the posts, well most of them , especially regarding review on equipments known to be circulated. However, most of them are not for-sale/available in my country, especially the latest Adams, Bridgestone, Scor, Tour Edge, etc.
In here, we got a lot of unknown brand to most of you as well , and mostly or not all are Japanese brand, even well-known brand i.e., Callaway and TM created specific Japanese version such as Callaway Legacy or release a same model with totally different shaft. Interestingly, the price of those clubs are insanely expensive, I do find an iron set of Honma with 5 stars can go easily to USD 12-15k at golf shop. However, in terms of technology and performance, they are still quetionable compare to Callaway, TM, Titleist, and their bros and sis.
Hence, anyone can share on their experience with Japanese brand of golf clubs? Such as Honma, Maruman, Fourteen, Geotech, Grand Golf, Miura, Nakashima, Onoff, Yamaha, etc.
I did try Yamaha Inpress X with D Forged last week at the range, in term of distance, their 7i do add another 30yds to my Cobra S3 Max to an avg 180+yds of 10 balls that i hit, they are very impressive and don't ask me how they do that since the information booklet is in Japanese. Everytime I hit the ball, it just feel very soft, with almost no vibration. The only downside are the price :act-up:, they cost USD 1,800 per set compared to my Cobra USD 450. Oh well, maybe I can downgrade my diet to dog food this year and be able to save some to buy those set in December.
