What GolfWRXers are saying about Honma’s Rose Proto irons

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing Honma’s Rose Proto irons. WRXer ‘cb24′ loves the look of the clubs and reached out seeking fellow WRXers’ experiences using the irons, who have been sharing their thoughts in our forums.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • Oliver Klozoff: “I’m a +1. Tried my friends’ for a couple of rounds. Beautiful irons but too hard to hit. Sweet spot is small.”
  • flushem: “I bought two iron sets (747V & Rose Proto) from eBay dealer. They are genuine and in good shape. My recommendation is to buy used set (usually demo set) from them just in case you want to sell them. I also filled my bag with driver, 3w, and hybrids in addition. I mixed 747V (5-7) and Rose Proto (8 – 10). I thought RP would be very hard irons to hit, but they are as forgiving/hard as 747V for me. IMO, RP irons are very playable, honest, consistent and soft. Above all, they are dirt cheap, so you can’t go wrong. Strongly recommended. “
  • endy: “I played with them a short time and got along with them pretty well. I really liked the look of them, and they weren’t too difficult to hit in my opinion, it’s just the Z Forged were a little more forgiving, and sole interaction was better for me.”
  • Mookieb10: “I have a nice set of Rose Protos, 4-PW. They are a lovely iron. Everything you’d want in a true blade. For some reason, I’ve not gotten along with them, though. I play x flex shafts all the time, but these C-taper Stiff+ are just too much shaft for me. I don’t know if it’s a swingweight issue, a total weight issue or what, but I just haven’t played well with them.”

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, there is a listing for a Scotty Cameron Art of Putting Laguna putter.

From the seller: (@kcsf): “Scotty Cameron Art of Putting Laguna. -I will regret this one selling for sure. It does have one small nick on the face near the toe as shown, otherwise in amazing new condition.  -BOS reconditioned and received last month. Oil can finish as done new by BOS when this putter was released many moons ago. -Head cover is authentic SC and shows age. Velcro is worthless of course, but does stay closed.  -Length is 34.25 inches, original shaft. -Grip is old and needs replacing. I can have my pro do it prior to shipping at an additional cost of the grip only. -$475.”

Mitsubishi Diamana WB: What you need to know + club build, on-course testing

Published

on

GolfWRX’s Resident Club Junkie, Brian Knudson, was naturally excited to get his hands on Mitsubishi’s new Diamana WB shaft.

In this video, BK gives you a brief overview of the new WB, builds up a driver, and takes it to the course for some testing.

With the rebirth of the iconic Whiteboard profile, Mitsubishi didn’t just re-issue a classic, but rather infused all the company’s latest tech into a new shaft, paying homage to the original with its quintessentially Hawaiian-inspired stylings. A summary of that impressive roster of technology, below.

  • 80-ton Dialead pitch fiber: Positioned in the handle, Dialead is designed to deliver greater ball speed via better energy transfer.
  • Aerospace-grade MR70 carbon fiber adds additional strength, and 46-ton fiber in angle plies in the tip section reduce torque for tighter shot dispersion.
  • Consistent Feel Design: Engineers target minimal variance across shafts (butt OD, weight, and balance point) to make the fitting process easier.
  • Xlink Tech Resin System: Engineers continue to reduce resin content and increase carbon fiber volume for greater feel without sacrificing strength and durability.
