A most handsome set of clubs. First saw him as a kid at Turnberry. Hit the ball as good as any western player but I am truly baffled as why he shoot the lights out in Japan but is journeyman level anywhere else. He needs to sit down with Ai Miyazato and learn how to win around the planet and not just in Japan.

[tembolo1284]

Odyssey #9 ix model I believe

[kekoa]

did his fwy wood say 298 cpm? good lord thats like re-bar.

[pdaero]

Some ridiculous flex, and what, a BB8TXXX??? in his driver? That's truly insane and I can only think of that sort of flex in a long driver.

That is one putter but he's also had a Cameron in play the last couple of tournaments. He had his putter(s) out of the bag and over on the practice green when I shot his bag.

Great pics, thanks. The face shape of the driver looks like the 420cc, not the 380cc. Some sweet clubs he has, always loved those CBs.

[/quote]Yea I noticed that too...GREAT! Now my Ezone MB's are worthless..sigh* on to the MIURA's.

[TheMoneyShot]

Wow, Im surprised he strayed away from the blades. But man are those woods sweet!!!

[Puppetmaster]

You can also see an Ezone CB or PCB back behind the Zero iron.

[RookieBlue7]

Next time you see him, ask him if that Zero Iron is up for trade... LOL. I want one of those badly.

[kakashi54]

Love to see how Yonex still makes small headed woods, I wish there were more companies doing this, and i wish the max volume was like 420cc, thats big enough

[TheMoneyShot]

I just wish that Yonex equipment was more accessible in the states. I really think that their equipment would sell well if they marketed properly.

I remember the days of phil playing Yonex.. they marketed it quite well in those days. The issue with Yonex is and always has been COST... the stuff is expensive ! thus won't sell.

Maybe they need to drop the price a little and sell more in the states. I just hate not being able to test any of the equipment before buying it.

Sweet pics Thanks Greg! As always excellent insight into the pro's bag. really amazing like others have said 298 CPM ......... WHAT???? I'd hit Tiger stingers all day, only problem they would be lucky to fly a 100 yards! LOL

The only thing that driver shaft that I like and would work is the color scheme.....

Here's what he was practicing with today

Go RYO

[Puppetmaster]

Thanks for the pics, Greg. Wasn't he testing a similar shaped SC before? Or is this the same one? Hope he plays well this week, been waiting for a breakout run from him.

Unless they painted the dots in the cavity recently, this is a new one.

Those Yonex NanoV's are pretty damn awesome. My biggest regret selling the heads. I have the EZone MB's and they're just as good but far less forgiving.

Hope Ryo does well this week!!!

And they seem harder to find these days. I've always had my eye out for a set.

[SweetTeaGolfer]

Odd that he plays driver at 44.5" and 3 wood at 43.25".
