yes, I can do that, I have a 14 degree and 17 degree, that may take me a few days to get posted up

I'm very impressed with all of this stuff, I have always played US companies/US Market companies (you know what I mean), but Akira is out performing all of my other stuff I have (and I have always got nothing but tour issued gear- I work at a course that hosts a tour event every year),

this Akira stuff is just simply better than the equipment I have played in the past decade or so

I continue to play the 3, 5, 7 woods. They are firmly in the bag and maybe will never leave. I love to find shots which I need to hit these. I have had more memorable shots with these clubs as any in recent memory. So so perfect.

A friend of mine who is a 6 HC and extremely long hitter hit my Akira clubs this weekend. He was hitting the 5w around 245 on the fly. He also hit the 3 and 7 with similar results. He was shocked as he has been playing without FW for a long time. As a side note, Imagine his face when I showed him the shafts were regular flex and he had no problem with control. His swing is very stable and consistent.
