When I first saw pictures of the 2012, I was reminded of the simple cavity of the 2008 model. The design looked meaty and led me to believe that the 2012 model may see the feel and forgiveness of the famed 2008. The answer is yes. I knew immediately on the first shot. Guys - Let me cut to the chase. These are the finest irons Yamaha has ever made.
Looks - small head, nice thin topline but not razor thin. Great square shape. The PW is very square. Nothing I can find wrong here. Perfect for me.
Feel - Dead solid muted feel. No harshness here at all. Perfect shots remind me of the Epon AF301. Off center shots are still solid and smooth. Gone is any clickiness in previous models. Maybe the best feeling iron I have owned. I can't wait to feel these when it is 90 degrees.
Forgiveness - My kind of iron. I will take all the forgiveness I can get. For their size, they are very forgiving.
Sole - Today was damp and the fairways soft but not mushy. Performed great.
Spin - They spin more than previous models. The micro x pattern seems to work.
Distance - Too cold to judge now.
To some it up, I am not sure how they could be better. I was always sad I had sold the 2008s, but I am so happy to have these. Time will tell, but my gut tells me these may be the winner. If you passed on buying a set of these, I am sorry as you missed what may be one of the most enjoyable iron experiences.
The shafts that came with mine are the NS950s in stiff. In the past I have not had much luck with this model, but they seem to work in these heads. Very very straight.
I wonder how the non Tour model stacks up.
