that one is nice... the 2012 model are all CBs and pocket cavites.

2011 models has the pockets on long irons and blades on short irons..

supposeedly, the grooves are superior and conforming as they are closer together.

A few months ago i had a chance to try and i compared em to my miuras, the grooves for the nike are much closer together

good choice!

Haha, I'm not that technical as to go into the grooves.
I'm a feel player......just mean that I don't have the power

I always like blades and forge iron.
As age is catching up, a full blade set is tough to handle
So a combo set make very good sense.
Thus I took the trouble to order from USA.
The ones they have here are CB/PC combo

I was eyeing for the combo too. Too bad the specs in SG dun have blades for 8-P but are cavities.

How much and which website? Can order the heads only? Thought ordering 4 Cavit and 5-7 Splt cavity and keep my current VR Pro blade Heads for 8-P

They sell in sets with shaft. Ebay have a lot.

OK, It is still in USA.
I suspect all club are about the same.
I might not have the skill of telling the difference

Saw this at my usual shopping centre and tested it. Strangely, even though its a fairway wood, it handles like a hybrid. I had no problems hitting it off the deck.

And to add on, the price of the VRS is about 3000THB (or S$120) cheaper than the VRPro Fairway Wood which was having a discount of 9900THB (or S$396). Which means the VRS is like 6000+THB (or abt S$240+).

Most probably due to the shaft I guess. The VRPro is shafted with a Project X shaft and the VRS is shafted with a Mitsubishi Fubuki shaft.

Siam Paragon.

I'd usually go there to shop, but just take a look at clubs.

For tourists, including VAT refund, the discount is about 12% (5% Discount + 7% Vat refund).
For working expats, since we don't get VAT refund, we can only get a 5% Discount.

Didn't spot any 60DS there, but finally got my 60/10 Lob Wedge yesterday at about S$130. Maybe FESC is slightly cheaper.

Oh yah, you mean the Driver's Str8-Fit? Like this?
Nike Owners - Page 11 39627610150560863961864

I saw it. The locking nut is kinda like built into the driver head. Look much neater now, but I still like the old Str8-Fit system where you just use the wrench, swap the head out, push it in and tighten the nut.

Unfortunately, with this new Str8-Fit, it would only mean that only the old Clubheads up to last year's VR Pro are compatible with the old system. 2012 ranges have their own Str8-Fit system. Sigh~

Damn.. u have to tempt me like that hor... old Str8-Fit systems makes it very hard to change shaft if u don have the adaptor and not many fitter know how to fix it... hopefully this new system makes it easier like Tity or TM

Wahahaha~ Try it to know it!

Saw the 20XI balls too, for about S$76. I suppose FESC is about the same price? Haven't tried out the 20XI, anyone who'd tested it yet?

Got a chance to try 20XI-X. Comparing with Tour-D, the ball does have more stable ball flight and does not 'curve' as much. It is not as far in terms of distance but do have nice feel with irons and putter.

I find that I have to putt 'harder' to get to same distance comparing with Tour-D. It does 'check' more too. nice ball.

But still expensive comparing to Tour D which I got from Golf Direct Smile
