Those don't look half bad. It would be even better if they turned into a Camero, a la Transformers.

[GolfSpy Dave]

Much nicer look. I assume that these will not reach the US market...

They look 10 times better than the regular first machspeed irons

I agree, with out all the colors, these look more pure.

[PingManKMB]

interested to see the look from the topline. So far, so good!

[Golfware]

Yes, THESE are the irons that should in the US. We get the shaft! And not the tour issue shaft, but the TX-90 shaft!

more forged irons looking like something from transformerslol

 

forged and player should equal traditonal look but i may be wrong

These came in the shop today. Quick thoughts.

 

They are quite long heel to toe. I quickly compared them to R9 JDMs, which are the R9 TPs in the US and MP57s and they were noticeably longer. I didn't have my MX300 with me but I would say they would be as well.

 

They have a sharp/high toe versus a more rounded look as the face pic shows.

 

The sole is about as wide as the R9 (JDM/US-TP) but it does not have the same trailing edge anti-bounce relief. It has relief on on the hole toe as the pics show as well.

 

The grooves for some reason don't feel deep. Conforming I guess?

 

The undercut can be seen in most of the irons, especially the heel side. The undercut is in all of the irons unlike the MX300 where it is filled in in the short irons. Undercut just seems to be not as wide in the short irons.

 

 

NS Pro 950s in stiff flex D3 swingweight (looks to be really light and thin grips like most JDM offerings)

 

If I hadn't bought my MX300s maybe I would've considered these for the longer blade length on the not so forgiving days.

Just to add the topline looked thinner than my MX300s but that could be the visual effects of the longer blade length.

xxio, have you hit them? Any feedback appreciated - I am waiting for my set to arrive...

[xxio]

Sorry. We only have one set in the shop. I'll try to convince my friend to buy it this weekend and then borrow them from him.

[JohnBarry]

Welcome to the forums, and that would be a great idea. Have him buy them, tell him "their both ours, I will just keep them at my house" then post a review for us!

[BBedell]

Agreed - looks-wise they are a huge improvement over the original Machspeed irons...wonder how they feel?

[Andrew Bush]

still waiting for it to change into bumble bee

[Guia]

They look okay. A little busy.

[Golf & Martial Arts]

The SQ that are out now Feel like you don't even hit the ball, I'm not sure if I like that or not. I would love to try these out and see how the feedback is...

These also look sweet

[GolfSpy Dave]

Are these still not available in the US market?

[Shambles]

I agree. I suppose it's made by the Voltes 5 school of design.

definitely gonna get these next season, my pro combo irons are getting old. its funny too because i was wondering if they were going to make a forged set of the machspeed, and now i cant wait to get them

[wdgolf39]

and to add to my comment. you can see the whole iron on this website tourspecgolf.com

[xxio]

Well somebody has bought them from the shop. He is a good player and he says the thin face design makes these irons feel and play hot off the face. Off the deck he has gained half a club from his previous same lofted set, and a club and a half off the tee.

[facetoface]

Much nicer look. I assume that these will not reach the US market...

me too!

[xxio]

I have hit my friend's set a few times. The stock NS Pro 950 HT is really intriguing. I don't get the ballooning i usually get from 'standard" NS pros. the ballflight on these are very similar to PX.

they need to be in the us they look sweet
