YONEX golf club, NANOSPEED 3i for Ladies got the topflight by the UK magazine, Lady Golfer.
The Fairway wood has been evaluated in the April issue, and the Driver in the May issue.
Both clubs got the gold prizes! Please check the comments below.
Fairway Wood: I ONLY need to write one word-fabulous! I couldn’t fault it in any respect-looks, grip, head shape, the way it sits behind the ball, strike and performance.
Long, straight, effortless results every time, and suited to a wide range of handicaps. If you should add this to your bag then you will not be disappointed.
Driver: I LOVE everything about this club. It feels incredibly light (which shouldn’t suit me) but everything just feels so right when you swing it.
It looks great, sits beautifully and puts a long, effortless flight on the ball. Fabulous strike, and the confidence to hit as hard as you like.

[Topix] …2010/04/01
Ryo Ishikawa has been featured by a magazine in the UK, NATIONAL CLUB GOLFER.
The analyst is James Whitaker, the head PGA professional at Moor Allerton.
According to his analysis, Ryo’s swing is very athletic and creates a huge amount of power which carries the ball faraway.
The reason Ryo can create very fast clubhead speed is his huge hip turn.
It creates lag in his swing and then it increases clubhead speed.
Moreover, he advises to the readers that how to increase the clubhead speed like Ryo does.
Although we might not play supplely like Ryo, if we use our hip better, we can extend the distances of our shots.
To refine our feeling, we should stand our hips in the impact place at the start of the swing.
By the right move of body, improve your swings for more pleasant golf.

NANOSPEED 3i HYBRID & IRONS 4-SW ARE ON A MAGAZINE IN UK!!
[Topix] …2009/11/26
There is an article introducing NS3i HYBRID & IRONS 4-SW on UK magazine, GOLF MONTHLY.
Please check the comments below.
Regarding HYBRID:
This will appeal to a wide range of golfers because it offers impressive forgiveness levels but was still pretty workable. It sits nicely between an iron-like hybrid and an all out forgiving one. It seemed to keep the spin levels down which produced a great flight.
IRONS:
The difference between the long and short irons is extremely noticeable. The hybrid-like long irons flew extremely high and the wide sole makes them as forgiving as any hybrid, while the short irons were far more workable. A fantastic game-improvement set.
Please visit here( Hybrid, Iron ) for more information about YONEX clubs!!

NS3i for Ladies in An UK Magazine!!
[Topix] …2009/11/04
Yonex’s new golf club, NS3i was introduced by UK magazines, “Lady Golfer" and “National Club Golfer".
In the “Lady Golfer", an equipment-expert Madeleine Winnett assessed NS3i ladies driver. “The loft of 12゜is too high for me, but the hang time was excellent, and I was astonished how far the ball carried. If you are looking for more height from your driver, this will deliver, thanks to a strategically positioned inner weight system, which gives a lower and deeper centre of gravity." She continued to say that “Yonex’s Nanoscience promises increased impact speeds and improved accuracy for longer straighter more consistent drives-and they are not exaggerating!"
In the “National Club Golfer", Men's NS3i Hybrid was featured.
Here is a comment below,
“With a compact yet traditional head shape, and a host of game-improving technology, including an impressive Nanoscience shaft, it combines performance and looks to create the all-round package."

“Golf Monthly" reported NS3i in their monthly HOTLIST section. The other magazine, “Golf World" introduced NS3i as one of new top item of the year.
The comments from “Golf Monthly" were interesting.
Please check the comments below,
Golf Monthly commented on NS3i’s driver, “We really liked this driver despite its slightly unusual rectangular clubface. The aero-pentagon shape has been softened a little from the Nanospeed i, and we got a great ball flight whether swinging smoothly or going after it a bit."
Golf Monthly continued to say that “Confidence-inspiring looks if relatively shallow clubfaces are your thing. Easy to hit, but tended to drift high and right when we got a bit quick (normally that would yield a low hook). Good ball flight when we resisted the temptation to thrash at it.

October 20-25, 2008 - Mesquite, Nevada
World Long Drive Champion Mike Gorton won his 4th career World Long Drive Title at the 2008 RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship at the Palms Golf Club in Mesquite Nevada.
Equipped with a Cyberstar NanoV Spec 425 9.0 degree driver and NanoHighSpeed™ Tour Shaft, the Yonex Long Driver and current Yonex PGA and Nationwide Tour Representative successfully defended his ’07 Super Senior title by hitting one huge drive after another in some of the toughest conditions ever at the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship.
In route to his 2nd straight Super Senior title and 4th career World Long Drive title, Mike hit drives of 350yards (Rd. 1), 376yards (Rd. 2) 397yards (Rd. 5), 387yards (Rd. 7) and 311yards into strong head winds in the Semifinal round.
In the Final round, with head wind gusts of 50mph, crowd favorite Gorton hit a 301yard drive to outlast fellow finalist, Steve Griffith by a whopping 21 yards! When asked about the weather conditions in the Final Round, Gorton said, “I was absolutely generating all the speed I could, it was brutal out there."

Gorton finished in second place with a Final round drive of 356yards coming just 10 yards short of eventual Senior Division winner, Dan Boever.
Mike, the only player ever to win World Long Drive titles in 3 separate divisions, won his first World Long Drive title in 1987, winning the World Long Drive Championship’s Open Division with a 322yard drive in the finals. His second World Long Drive Championship came in 2000 when he used a Yonex Vmass 250 driver to hit a 312yard drive in the finals to win the World Long Drive Championship’s Senior Division title. Gorton won his 3rd career championship in 2007 with a 340yard drive using a Yonex Cyberstar Nanospeed driver.
