Man, the new cobra line looks great this year!

[chadillac65]

Never understood why companies coat their irons in black. The feel goes away when they do!

What was Bridgestone thinking with the crown of those woods??? Wowser!

[MMB1500]

Looks like Optimus Prime got jiggy with a Nike Covert.

 

 

[Makuakane_Bear]

Yonex! Wow! Love the MB looking club. Cobra/Puma is coming out with some amazing looking shoes!

[vwgolfer]

Omg what the hell happened over there at Bridgestone. Those new woods are awful looking.

 

Lol. The contrast with cobra is stunning.

[Puppetmaster]

I could cut some steak with those Yonex blades....

Why did Bridgestone fire the guys that designed the j40 line? Their recent stuff looks absolutely terrible. Appalling.

[jamie]

I'm not a blade player but those are awesome!!

Wow. Is that true? I used to bag bridge stones, had all j40 bag. I dumped it all because I thought the j15 line sucked. i know it is kinda of stupid, but I wanted new clubs anyways, still play the bs balls.

[Yanki01]

those Bridgestone irons look horrible at address. yuck

[Jonesy]

Those Yonex blades had me drooling.... And their one CB looked oddly like a Callaway X forged '13...

It was tongue 'n cheek......but going from the minimalistic, clean design of the j40 range to this stuff - it begs the question. I'm still bagging j40 4wood, 3 & 4h, 5-pw cb's and 52 and 58 wedges. All still freaking amazing.

[GolfGuitarsCars]

Those shoes are awful.

look at the size of that toe though yikes

[TMBob]

First Yonex iron = Love

Bridgestone drivers = WTF?

[Benflicky]

that bridgestone driver looks sickkkkk

[swizbeatz]

Yonex=awesome. Those shoes, not so much. What does everyone think about Bridgestone balls? Im sure the top level ball is at least solid, played on tour by a few so it must be, but I literally never see anyone playing a Bridgestone in local $ games our tourneys.

Interesting. Tons of bridgestone balls are played where I am. I'm really interested in the new model. I do like the previous version a lot.

[creecool]

King LTD driver is such a sweet stick, Bstone JGR looks pretty nice, but that red crowned model is awful.

[mavi0519]

I wonder if Bridgstone is going to offer yellow Graphite design shafts lIke they did in Japan. Either way, I wouldn't mind trying out the JGR driver and 3 wood.

[MMB1500]

that bridgestone driver looks sickkkkk

 

'Sick' as in it actually makes you feel sick looking at it?

[rangersgoalie]

Shoe company can sign crusty the clown to a deal

[Guia]

Some great pic's thanks.

I had the same thought, and they only keep the finish until you hit them.

The Yonex Forged MBs ARE salivation worthy. The Bridgestone looks like it belongs in the 2016 R7 lineup. I like the face though :)

This thing will be $5 on ebay in 6 months. I still won't want it:

It's pretty gruesome looking - but it fits a need. People need help getting the ball into the air.

The Yonex line has been strong starting with the TriG line and N1CB irons, which I've been gaming for a couple of months. I think a combo of the N1CBs and N1MBs would be great--I thought in person they looked a little less intimidating. And the new XPG line is pretty damn good--it's replacing the EZONE XP, but the driver is so damn loud it's crazy. Would probably be great with some cotton balls or hotmelt to dampen it. Even the XPG irons felt pretty damn solid and the new hybrid in the line was money; it'll finally be replacing my H370 Tour!
