Rickochet Nut it up and keep posting. 😛

Ok then. XXIO and Honma stuff is OMG/Holy Grail for geezers with sub 90 mph swing speeds, arthritis, multiple joint replacements and general weak-assed-ness.

      Then, in your opinion, do you think it's Honma's shaft? Is the face "hotter?" OR, a combination of the two? I've got my eyes on a Honma faiirway wood, and I have store credit that's burning a hole in my pocket.....!

          sdandrea1 I'll check and see when I change underwear tomorrow.

          Pics not necessary for proof. Your credibility is good with us and we will take your word. 😜

            I almost pulled the trigger on the honma driver, but then I remembered two things:
            1) At one point in time, Uncle Steve has pronounced untold hundreds of clubs as amazing, and
            2) I'm married.

            Oh, and I also remembered that I am in the middle of a driver funk so deep that no piece of metal on the end of a long stick is going to solve it. I wouldnt even be able to tell if it was a good driver or not.

              rsvman2 Good call! Wait until you’re out of the funk. It amazes me how many peope come in for a driver fitting that are hitting it awful. I even mention that we will be back on such amd such a date if he wants to wait. “NO!!!!…. Need to spend $600 RIGHT NOW!!”

                  Typhoon Wait until you’re out of the funk.

                  This is why Spuzzy has 8 drivers of various specs shafted up right now.
                  I gots most of the variables covered...I think.

                      sdandrea1 Apparently, Papa Dee is not a fisherman. "210 carry into a constant dominant wind plus the largest Mango trees in the world blocking my view of the landing zone. Took a 3/4 smooth swing and ....."

                        Put together a short set of Maltby TE Forged. 7 - W with iDrive Tour Lite graphite. Had an OMG ball striking experience today that was long overdue. @azgreg was right. They might be traditionally lofted but feel and flight is Holy Grail shit.

                          sdandrea1 I heard so many great things about these irons. I'd test them out, but I'm fully committed to the single-length concept and have been for years. I have dabbled with going back, but always revert back to SL.

                            = Honeymoon. 🤣😂 Seriously though, the MO-5 ~ TE are cult classics and deservedly so.

                                I know we'll the honeymoon effect as I've had MANY loves! 🤣 It's just owning the art of the possible that makes these so attractive. The forged feel and high soft-landing shots might be worth the days that I'm not hitting it so well.

                                    Ah yes, the good old days of ball striking. You forgot balata balls.

                                    That is a good description of the Maltbys.
