Yururi iron users a little help

bluejeeprubi · July 7, 2015

As I look online and prepare to enter info to purchase new irons I'm having doubts. Flat back vs PDG vs Yataki (any difference than finish). I'm coming off baby blades and thinking maybe just getting another set but really want to change it up. I've read the post about the flat back but any pro be cons compared to the other yururi blades?

Flatbacks and Tatakis are the same except the finish and stamping. The only similarity between those and the PDGs is that they're all blades. PDGs have a more finished appearance and looked really good to me. They're more traditionally lofted (weaker) and the black finish is a coating instead of being raw. The coating appeared to hold up much better but also seemed to add a bit of clickiness to the pure soft feel I've grown to love from the Flatbacks.

+1 on that...that's about as good of an assessment as you're gonna get!

I had raw flatbacks, they were brilliant! If another set came up for sale and I had them money they'd boot the S57's out the bag

you will NOT be sorry, and if they don't work out, I'm sure you will have no problems finding a buyer, these are cult classics!!

My PDG irons are losing the finish wherever there is contact. The black is once but it is not a durable finish. Also, I have not found a clickiness with them at all. I can't say I have ever played the flat backs,but the PDG are very nice if you can get past the lofts and ignore the numbering on the bottom. The 4 iron loft is equivalent to many 5 irons and 6 irons to some with more jacked lofts...

I thought it was strange that Yururi had such extremes in loft differences between their two blades. The clickiness is something that I probably would never have even noticed if I hadn't played raw Flatbacks first. It's not bad by any means, just not the same soft impact as the raws.

Yeah, the loft killed me the first go around with the PDG heads. I had them shafted with the Roddio iron shafts and was ~2 clubs short with them. Completely forgot about the loft and so I pulled the shafts and benched the heads. Just resifted them with a set of Recoils and saw one of my older posts that commented on the loft differences. So far I have been OK pulling the PW for the 130yd no other factor distance. The PDG are an amazingly accurate iron and the stopping power is tops...

I keep going back an forth now

Flatbacks
Baby blades

Good news is I have a set of amt shafts headed my way. This is so much harder than picking out an engagement ring.
