What are your opinions of the company who sponsors many world class Badmitton players?

I feel this company flies low under the radar... a few years back they had some nice driver releases with big price tags but now are relatively affordable.

Anyone here actually playing any Yonex clubs... I believe a majority of them are made in Japan

Never tried their clubs but I used their tennis racquets and they are top notch quality and design. I wouldn't mind playing their clubs.

They make a gunmetal wedge that I might bite the bullet on... only problem is they are a little older so its hard to find a seller who offers a good selection of lofts

I need a 54 or 56, and a 60... I could go without a gap wedge since I dont hit my current on very much

Yonex (according to their own people) spend most of their R&D; on tennis and badmitton equipment. Years ago, they made some really great clubs. I believe they are manufactured in the same plant as Wilson.(IIRC.) I have hit that exact wedge that you are talking about. It is a gorgeous (i mean absolutely gorgeous) club, but to me, it cannot compare to Vokey, Cleveland, or Callaway wedges that are out right now.

My brother plays with a Yonex hybrid and boy did I underestimate that club. Has a very nice feel to and can get some really good distance.

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙

      My Swing (Tomfig)

      By tomfig · Posted

      Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
