But anyway, I am going with the Ilima/Cobra combo this weekend for the medal rather than the Kajiki/TM R7 combo.

Post your FIR for the game please.

MT, I give him chance.

MC, Medal play FIR hor. Thanks.

Rex,

Similar to Kaili.

Work it meaning working the ball out and up. How I do it.

Yes. Let the Shaft do the work.

With the 5 series and Kajiki, I will just hit the ball. But with the Ilima and 8 Series, I will rotate my hips first, then pull a smooth swing through all the way till the follow through.

geddit? or is that too laymanish?

OK

So U prefer to work it or just hit it?

Also, its longer than which shaft u had? 5 series? Kajiki? Kai'li?

kajiki...

i nv had the Kai'li.

Oh ya, U had the Ali Islei I think.

yup yup.

this one feels even better than the ali'islei.

i dun seems to understand at all......

so many diff type of swing from 1 player on diff shafts?

u guys are amazing....

JT, oni MC hor.

I'm still trying to rebuild my swing from ground up. No talent in doing so many swings.

oic boss...

MC is really talented with the swing... so power....
standing behind during his drive oso can feel the "drag" from the driver..... solid...

idol. there is no review tentatively.

i got to forgo my game due to last minute called meeting..

this is sucky...

Dun worry, we will patiently await ur review.

Had my first game at Keppel with the Ilima last sunday.

It was an eye-opener. Out of 7 shots, 2 turn out desirable and 1 was PERFECT. So that is like a 43% hit.

Compared to the Kajiki, dispersion is similar. But the ball flight is lower and more definitive. I get a lot more roll with the Ilima, thus it is bringing me places that I have not been before.

This is part of an on-going long term review. When I find the time, I will put the Graman 5 Series, the Kajiki and the Ilima to test with the trackman.

Unfortunately, I do not think I will be able to use similar heads for each shaft but I believe the results will be fairly similar due to technological advancement these days.

What were ur misses? Spinny L-R slices and pushes or Hooks?

yes. It is still the slices L-R mostly.

I had alot of pushes intially but that more or less has already been sorted out.


I am honestly more comfortable with the Kajiki but that may be because I have been playing longer with it. I am still going to stick to the Ilima for a lot more games before I finally decide which one to stick.

Could be more of a swing fault. When u get on that Trackman, hv a look at ur club path and club face.

If u intend to get rid of it, u-know-who will be interested...

if u are interested, get in line...

then again since u are my idol, i might be able to let u cut queue at 'idol-price'.

haha, not me man. I'm in love w my Blueboard still thank you.

Its some guy who did reservist last week...

eh, dun underestimate your head/shaft combo hor. Clearly capable of long and straight drives. The Ilima is truly an excellent shaft, and the R9 head is soooo very forgiving

yea man the R9 seems a tad close but no complains.. getting a nice draw to my ball flight......need to run in

oh sry MC thot its 70X cos i only remember u saying wanting to put ilima into yur 3 wood too..

but pity, it was just that one drive only. straight and looooong....

I am getting the hang of the Ilima and I like it alot as I get more roll and find it easier to work with. On the good hits, I am getting distances from 250m to 270m depending on the wind and elevation, but mostly flat and almost still wind conditions. Comparing to Kajiki, I would say 5 to 10% more distance. Dispersion is similar.

Looks like it is in the bag.
