I played the Monodyne's - they were really nice, buttery, pretty easy to hit, too (compared to the super-thin Hogan PC, or the Palmer Peerless, or the VIP's). I picked up a set of Apex II at a shop at a local course that was liquidating them, and they became my players and I sold the Daiwa. Surprised to see that there's a following for the Daiwa stuff...! Certainly understand why...

Here is a comparison to the Miura Baby Blades.

I'd have to play them. Not playing them would be like buying a new Ferrari and parking it in your garage without going for a Sunday cruise every weekend.

57 BBs whats not to like? And I see by the 7 iron someone is a pretty darn good ball striker

[justasgood]

Thanks Big Stu,

 

While I am a very good ball striker, these came to me pre-worn.

 

I haven’t own a set long enough for my ball striking to have an effect. That and I rarely go to the range so.........I have to buy intimidation but I can hold my own?

[justasgood]

Well these beauties are heading to a Golfwrx'er to enjoy. I can't wait to hear his impression of how they play.

Not sure if I can bring myself to play them....I am literally sitting in my garage staring at their stunning beauty. A tad bigger than my Muirfield 20th and a nice tall square toe. Simply gorgeous...

In my opinion, you've got to play them.  They were built to strike a golf ball - that's how you'll enjoy them the most.

I own these now. I'm still looking for the matching sand wedge.

OMG the advisor, what a legend. Be a financial advisor, play the advisors. That's SICK! Did you game em or sell em?

[braincramp52]

You HAVE to play those! Not playing them would be like having a mint 69 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet delivered to your garage but missing the keys!

If you can't find one, I would recommend a PING EYE2 SW.  They make a great compliment to a nice set of blades. That was Seve's set-up.   Ping also made a run of them with conforming grooves pretty recently.   I have one of those, and it's just as good as my 80's model.

Even though I am a dyed in the wool Cleveland man I will back you up on that. LOL I even have a Eye2 and Zing SW. Both of them spin the crap out of a ball. For some reason I like my Zing better love the grind and the way it sits. Right now at my home course playing in the dog fights I do not need a SW and since the Covid thing our traps are not maintained. If I do happen to get into a match I do slide one of my Hogan Sure Outs in the bag for those traps

I have to agree on this as well. Although it would stand out like a mutt in a dog show, there's not much better to be found. And if it was good enough for Seve (arguably the greatest short game player ever), it's certainly good enough for me.
