modus go quite high. imo

they feel a bit thin to me as well . but they get the ball in the air super quickly and it just seems to soar for ages.
i hit a stiff 115 gram i think it was, in an epon af-tour 7 iron but found the ball a bit too high for my liking.

preferd the k's tour flight much more.

I ended up putting Modus 3s in my Onoffs, I'll hit the range tomorrow.

ive just tried about all the steel shafts there is to try, i like the modus 3 the best in my
302 heads. they are money, shafted my 4 iron w shimada tour and im still iffy about
it. nice and powerful but lacks the elasticity of the nspro

Well the Modus 3 experiment was a disaster. I hit them a few times at the range and they went super high and spun like crazy for me. Just to be fair I played a round with them yesterday with some into and down wind holes. High and short all day, I did hit some good shots with the 3 and 4 irons. The other irons played like crap, I'm sure these are too soft and spin too much for me. Next.

that is surprising. i have been using mine for almost 3 months now, i am a high spin player
but get nice floaters with my modus. no ballooning, high but low spin. i am never short in
fact i have gained some distance. i am only using the s flex. 7 iron 170 -180

ive hit the saqra and the pro preference model. the pro preference in black is are quite soft and probably the best blade i have ever hit.
if my handycap was low enough they would have stayed in the bag , if there was a blade i would love to bag when i have the game it
will be the PPMs. the saqras are ok, for the price you cannot go wrong but i find them on the harder side. when i mean hard they are
more tingy and solid as opposed to the marshmallow like feel of epon.

both the ppms and saqras were co designed and projects of golf guru niimi kiyonari, i know the ppms were handground by shinagawa san
og himeji. i dont know who forged them tho, maybe kyoei?

Saqra and PPM just made one run and the brands fizzled right.

They were made at Shinagawa not by Shinagawa as far as I know.

Oh thanks or clearing that one up.
I assumed they were co produced by shin San as I have their
Raw black CBS and wedges that were handmade by him.

No I still have the C-tapers and they perform. I just want something else in my Onoffs. I just had some super peening orange installed and will hit them today.

any other irons/updates

[Gaijin_Golfer]

Longtime Mizuno diehard but I must admit, Im loving the Bridgestone/Tourstage/Precept irons that Ive tried lately. Wish I could try out all of the other brands that are listed but thus far Tourstage is my fav.
