Tour Stage Z101 Forged Irons

[Xt1ncT]

Has anyone else used these?

I recently made MASSIVE mistake!!! I bought a set of MX900's, 5-PW with 17 and 21 Degree Mizuno Hybrids, and all I can say is YUK. They didn't suit me at all, the 5 iron was so hard to use it almost never came out of my bag.

So, I decided to go back to supposed "player's" clubs. THe place I got them from wanted silly money to trade up to the MP60's, so I went to my local golf shop just around the corner from work and they had a set of Tour Stage Z101's - the last ones they had - going for a really good price $950 NZ Dollars. Basically it cost me next to nothing to trade which I did without even testing them.

And what a beautiful iron they are. A great flight and the softest feel I've ever had in a golf club. I used to have a set of Hogan FTX's which were soft, but these are even softer - great feedback, fantastic workability.

I was getting pretty distraught with my golf game until I changed to these. They've given me fresh enthusiasm and I've just started on a really good practise regime ready for Club Champs.

I would recommend anyone to try the new Bridgestone J33's - basically the same company and the combo set they make are very similar to the Z101's and I'd definately have got those if they didn't have these at such a good price.

Xt1ncT,

Bridgestone / TourStage / Precept makes some of the best irons anywhere. The z101's are outstanding clubs.

I really hope Bridgestone makes it in the United States, especially with the upcoming cast cavity game improvement clubs. It's such a crowded market, but they really have a lot of pride in their products and the design is second to none.

They just need for everyone else to understand that.

THey are just beginning to get a bit of a foothold here in NZ, the only problem that I see is that the likes of TaylorMade/Mizuno/Callaway spend so much more on marketing here than anyone else it's difficult for others to get a foothold.

Ping are huge here as well, but don't need to spend the type of money the others do as the name is so well known.

I love the z101's and hope the J33 combo's are a success as they look fantastic.

Can you give me any suggestions on where to get a set in the U.S?

Do you know Cedric Henry?

A friend of mine on tour plays with the z101.

I was going to buy a new set of 'Tour Edge' forged irons but now that I know about the Tour Stage I will check them out.

I just got z101s. Took them to a club builder to have the lofts and lies adjusted and played them today. Best iron I have ever played.

TourStage is well known as one of the best forged clubs manufacturer in Japan comparable to Titleist here in the US. However, I haven't heard nor seen the Z101 model yet. Anyway, do check this

site out because they specialize in selling other Japanese clubs besides TourStage and they ship worldwide too. Hope this helps.
