I don't have them, but I have played with them. I was in Japan for about 8 months last year and played alot of golf. I would say that 30% of golfers over there play Bridgestones. I wouldn't necessarily recommend them for a 6 handicapper. They seemed to me like they were straight/high hitters with little workability, It may have been the heavier air in Northern Japan or something, but I couldn't get the ball to turn over for me.
If you work the ball alot and like the Bridgestones, I would check out the J33 Blades. I might even take close consideration to the Srixon line of Irons (I-506). That is another name you see abroad and they feel great.

OK then self, why do I play with TM's if these other ones are so great? I had an issue with a driver and Taylor Made went way overboard trying to help me out before a big tournament overseas. I swore then that I would stick to them. I really like the R7 TP's..

    • I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.      
    • Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.
    • No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.
    • StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry
