Access to Japan-only Yonex / PRGR gear?

weissmanjeff · June 12, 2008

Does anybody have a connection in Japan?

I'm looknig for a USED Yonex Cyberstar Nanov driver, preferably 10*. I know shipping from overseas is ridiculous, so I would be thrilled to get the head only.

I am also looking for PRGR hybrids, either the 020i or the 220i.

Does anybody have a conncetion in Japan who can hunt down a used club? Please post or PM me.

Any info will be much appreciated. Thanks a million!

We meet again! I have also been eying that prize (NanoV). It is a hard one to find. They have some once in a while here in Thailand. Not too expensive, about $200. I hit one and then didn't buy it for some reason (it was really nice). Can also check out ebay. They had an 11 deg on there not too long ago. Only $75!! Shipping is not too expensive. I'll look if I am near a used store anytime soon. Japan may be a better bet, since they sold well there. PRGR should be easy to find here or Japan. For the Yonex, do you know which one? The newest one? I think there are 2 distinct NanoV's, one with the weights in the silver part of the bottom, one with them in the black part. You can tell by the bottom.

Here's an ebay one I found. Although this guy has tried to sell this one before. Asking a little too much but that's just personal opinion.

Yeah, I'm watching that one. I missed the 11* one for $75, but ended up buying the 4 wood from the same seller.

The one on ebay is the version I'm looking for, ideally a 10*. If you can find one, I'll pay you a "finder's fee". I had a 9* w/ SX shaft, and I just didn't launch it high enough and have enough control.

Somebody hook up a club ho!

I tested the NanoV side by side with the Epon EMB and AF101. I was already pre-set on the EMB, so that is what I got. However I hit the Yonex farther than either (all with their stock shafts). It doesn't have the Epon buttery feel to it (more of a "tink") but it really is nice. For the price of used ones, it's a good deal. Anybody know if the US version Nanospeed is the same quality?
