Any thoughts on the Bridgestone J36 line?

Hey guys wondering if you had any thoughts on this line of clubs. Have you been able to hit them or see them? I have a few places by me that will get them for me but I have been unable to find a place to demo them yet. The pocket cavities and blades have caught my eye more so than the full cavity.

Im thinking these in blade or pocket cavity, s58 or AP2 but since so far the closest place is 1 hour from me that has a demo id like to get some thougths before going out there. Ive hit both the AP2 adn s58 and like them both. I figure the PC is the most comparable to these two?

Also any thoughts on the weight of the clubs, I generally play 1.25" to 1.5" over standard so thats always a concern. I had the new macgregors and they were nice but after adding the lenght they were way way too heavy.

bridgestone makes NICE clubs the pocket cavities appeal to me just because they are the most forgiving club in the j36 line

I call the 12 closest retailers to me on Bridgestones site that it says is a dealer for these clubs. NONE have a demo, let alone even have them in the store/shop to see. They can order for them, but cant fit me for them. How does one company think they will sell clubs if no stores carry them for you to see or demo? I emailed customer support and asked them so I will see what they say. I really want to try these out but Im not going to kill myself looking for a demo or retailer to fit me.

I hit the blade and regular cavity indoors the other day because I'm thinking about these clubs as well. I hit my clubs and these clubs, and these feel much better. It's probably because my clubs suck so bad, but still. The guy working was very knowledgable, and he said this was the only forging he'd put up against Mizuno. The blade and regular cavity look almost identical at address, and all three clubs are tuned to create the ultimate combo set if desired. If I get to hit them outdoors and like them, I'll probably go PC in 3&4; cavity in 5,6,7; and blade in 8,9,PW.

These are, by far, the best looking new club from address I've seen. I also hit the AP2, and it felt not so great by comparison.
