OK. Two in one day. Like when Jimmy Carter let the Haitian boats land in Florida? At least the other guy had some golf creds in his profile, eh?

FD, how did you get a zero on your "Rep Power?"

Second and most importantly...
Glale,
STFU newbie. We've already got a couple UK members and that's two too many. Bugger off, you crooked-toothed pom.

I think it's glitching a bit. I repped him once just to get it to at least 1 and then it jumped up to 16.

Sounds like some Ping sandbagging to the reputation.

HB, I don't know what Rep Power means. Yesterday I clicked on it and it said zero. Actually, there was sort of this in between stage where it was located on the left. I clicked it and it said I was on my way to becoming infamous. What is rep power anyway? How many people like you?

I was wondering the same thing. FD if it's how many people like you I think that number is a bit high there big guy :D
Really though if you just point to the green square it shows a message. Ours says "XXXX is on a distinguished road":confused:

I know, but what i was saying earlier is that it used to say that I was "on the way to becoming infamous". I have no idea how I got 16 or even what that means. After you wore saddle shoes I think I surpassed you in likes vs. dislikes :p

Hey, I know how you feel. Yesterday I had a big zero (0) as a rep power and I was lower than everyone else. Today I have a rep power of 16 and that's higher than everyone else. Man, I feel like Donald Trump running for president.

As you should my friend! Look atcha. You've made quite the name for yourself here! It almost brings a tear to my eye! And to think I was so hard on you when you first joined. Hey, just for old time sake.......STFU! :D LOL!!

Just because you attempted to be hard on me doesn't equate to you succeeding at being hard on me. However, I will give you an A for effort. :cool:

Stop sucking up to FD Shuz. He was there and there abouts in the "biggest arsehole" poll.
Just because you handed him his arse in a GR match using a hybrid of all things, dosen't mean you have to feel sorry for him and make him feel all warm and fuzzy.
BTW I'm not surprised that FD is so concerned about "rep power". Without the adulation of the crowd ( like the range stories we have continuesly heard) he is nothing. :p

OP, I know you're getting older but I clearly stated before that not only do I not understand what rep power is but also I don't care about it. The other day it was zero and now it's 16. Clearly that's due to my popularity and golfing prowess but I have no control over that. Shouldn't you be out golfing right now in your knee-high socks and 70's shorts?

FON made a very clear explanation of rep power in another thread. I'm too old to remember which one.
Nice to see you have a go back FD. I just sometimes get the urge to have a friendly dig at you and some others.
I guess it is just jealousy. I suppose deep down I long to be famous like your good self.

I remember the FON post but I don't remember what he said. Isn't he the guy who breaks golf balls in half on a routine basis? I know you're just joking OP. How could anyone be serious about making fun of me? By the way, do you know anything about those TourStage irons that have the pocket cavity similar to the MP-52? I tried them in the store and they felt fantastic. I can't seem to find them online.

Don't know the model you speak of offhand. Surfice to say all
tourstage forgings are done by Endo and are some of the softest feeling available. Tourstage are a little harder to find than most but not so rare that you never see them for sale. The only thing I know about the JDM cavity backs that are built for more forgivness is they usually have these features.
They can have a longer thinner face with a toe design that can offend American senibilities.
They can have some quirky offsets, even reverse offset (most in the pw)
They are made shorter, lighter, and more upright than US domestic market irons to cater for the old, small hackers in Japan. Even graphite shafts and thin grips are the standard.

If you buy blades or real players cbs like the Z101's they cater much more foe a US market.

I believe this was the model I saw

Not getting your images to show FD. Must be that Firesomething or whatever you said you were using. Mward was having the same problem i think.

I love how all the descriptions are in Japanese writing but the loft & lie numbers are Western numeric.

What shaft are you after? I prefer the ダイナミックゴールド shaft myself.

[QUOTE=famousdavis;243908]This work?[/QUOTE]

Just buy the damn clubs. If you can get them for 300 or less. People like Sooner and me pay 4 or 5 hundred. The 701 x blades still comand 6, 7 hundred used. In nice shape! I think there 4 or 5 years old. The 703, 705 x blade still go for over a thousand a set.

I had to pay $400 for the Z-101s, but I don't regret a penny right now, they are sweet!

[QUOTE=SoonerBS;243929]I had to pay $400 for the Z-101s, but I don't regret a penny right now, they are sweet![/QUOTE]

The Z-101s appear to fetch a much higher price than the ones I was looking at.

[QUOTE=famousdavis;243932]The Z-101s appear to fetch a much higher price than the ones I was looking at.[/QUOTE]

The Z101's are classics that no self respecting ho would be without, but the ones you have seen are not that old, model wise (newer than the Z101's) and would be quality sticks. The offset looks fine and the head size would be ok. Feel wise they would have to be a bit duller with that pocket cavity but these are an expensive set of irons to buy new. Have a look at tourspec golf and you will see plenty of tourstage models with prices.

I,m still looking for a set already shafted, with a shaft I like. Tour stage has always been a must try. I,m enjoying hitting the A10 tours right now. Truly amazing long irons, to the short. I havent hit the hybrid very much lately. The blade 8-pw, are to die for. Nice thin topline, very little offset, small. You must try some. And the kicker is they go cheap over here. Just hard to find, like none on eBay for weeks.

I think this is the reason why the MP-52s do not have the good Mizuno feel to them. 8-PW has a little more feel than the 7-4 because the scoring irons do not have the cut channel.

I know, I have been looking. Hello, I am SoonerBS, and I am a club ho. (A chorus of voices echo back, "hi, Sooner.")

I think both you and OP would be amazed at how good those irons feel (the ones I was referring to in my post). Even with the channel they felt amazing. The S200 shaft may have had something to do with it.

I can easily imagine how good they are. I am well aquainted with
tourstage irons. You should try my 2005 Xblades (actual compact blade) when you hit them flush!!
The S200's are a good shaft. They are the same a S300 except just a little lighter. The heads must be smooth because a nippon or kbs shaft generally will feel smoother. Even rifle flighted which i now prefer feel smoother than DG.

I agree. I,m not a fan of the 52 in the long irons. I can deal with the short irons, but they lack the pure feel, of many other mizunos. My mx23s feel better. So do my mp37s, and the A10 tour ltd is sweet.
