Did you hit them???[/quote] yes all guests could hit the clubs. It was a very cool experience
[/quote]

What's your takeaway on them performance side?[/quote]

Immediate thoughts: vapor pro/mmproto were pretty difficult to hit. It didn't help that it was dark and we had dance music blasting but I thought the 4,5, and 6-irons were tough. I thought the PCs were excellent. I think they launch super high and they felt great. The speed is a distance club. No doubt. But it was difficult to adjust from the PC to the speed. I'm not good enough to play the vapor pro blade. I loved the pro combo but I wish it came with the Nippon shaft.

One more thing. Best part is that the sweet spot is right in the middle. Engineers said most irons sweet spot is actually closer to the heel.

Thanks for the info. Even though I hate the looks I an still going to keep a open mind until I hit them. I can always change the paintfill.

Honestly the black on the back won't be an issue. Once you see them. Like I tweeted on NGN someone said traditionalists will have an issue. But I'm telling you they look great and the color won't matter.

[ThunderBuzzworth]

I like the look of them, coming from a Miura user. Easy enough to alter. I'm surprised at the comments so far. Don't knock it til you try it.

[Danny16]

They are different but I like it. I can't wait to test them out.

I wonder how the finish and the black part will hold up after some time banging around in the bag

How were the blades? Those are the ones I am interested in. I would assume based on the design it would be more forgiving than a traditional style blade?
[/quote]

I know I can't speak to the Vapors, but I can speak to the MMProtos - I think they are extremely forgiving. I don't know where the MP-4 would fall in the blade/mb spectrum, but I think they are slightly more forgiving than those are. While I can't 100% compare apples to apples, I felt way more comfortable hitting my MMs with Project X 6.5s than I did with hitting my friend's MP-4s with Project X Flighted.

FWIW...

[GMoney76]

Twitter says preorder 10/1 and I would suspect they would arrive a little earlier than 10/31, or I would hope at least.

I know that feeling, I hit a crispy 8 iron shot and I could feel it, take that golf ball! Shoots the ball like a rocket off the face.

So no driver release?
[/quote]

Too early for them to release woods, I think.

2.0 released January of this year. Maybe in 2015.

[luckyirishpride7]

Biggest Tiger basher of the night? Mr. Woods himself hahaha.

[Ampire2121]

I'm digging the staff bag

[audioph1x]

Dagggg tiger's bashing himself haha it's hilarious

[DavePelz4]

Tiger should get Rogaine as a sponsor.

[MaydayGSXR]

Jimmy bringing some great questions..

tiger probably hates listening to rory being in the spotlight atm, but he's being pretty funny actually.. digging it
