duffer,, i appreciate your opinion,, but i'd be more interested in why you rate the TP Forged (japan) high..

ok,, so here's my question.. and this question ONLY pertains to Japanese exclusive irons,, NOT Japan FORGINGS!! OK?? i am considering getting some of the TM TP Forged irons. Now these clubs will Never be available in the US. When i read the introduction on TSG Pro Shop Iron page, this is what i read: "Forged Japanese Steel is the best in the industry and with the implementation of CNC milling, optimal center of gravity design, and quality master craftsmanship you will be able to feel and see the difference in performance while you enjoy the soft sensation that vibrates from the head to grip into your hands creating the most rewarding Iron experience you have ever felt" Now i understand the clubs i want, TP Forged, are NOT forged in Japan, but Taiwan. So, are these clubs really that MUCH better than any set of TM TP's i can get in the US?? People claim that US quality is NOT what Japan quality is,, but why is that? just the forging process? besides the rare factor with these irons,, are they really worth it? please, feel free to share your thoughts, wisdom and expertise...

tourspecgolfer,, so can you tell me if you've hit the TM tp forged's? what do you think of them? any input would be greatly appreciated by me!! thanks!!

awaiting the expert information,, tourspecgolfer, unclekent....etc....

maybe i am misunderstanding,, but Jacque has emailed me and told me that this set, TM r7 TP Forged, is forged in Japan!! so what i am to believe??

sir, these are the clubs from your website i am talking about: Taylormade Japan R7 TP Forged Irons 5-PW [r7forgedtp] and here's the descrfiption from your website: Taylormade Japan, based on it's very popular R7 Forged iron of 2007 has released it's R7 TP Forged iron. This Tour Preferred iron is forged from soft S25C and is a compact, minimal offset head made for lower handicap players. The R7 TP Forged features a low to mid launch trajectory for maximum workability and a thin topline with very little offset for superb setup at address. The head shape was designed based on feedback from Japan tour professionals, looking for a thin sole and muscle back like control. The R7 TP Forged is available as 5-PW standard and with either NSP Pro 950 GH R or S steel or Dynamic Gold S200 or X100 steel. 3 and 4 irons are available at an extra cost. There is humongous demand for the r7 TP Forged in Japan. Taylormade Japan occasionally is back ordered and there may be a delay in shipping. If this is the case we will let you know when you place your order. AND, Jackie fromYOUR website has told me that these are forged i n JAPAN.. so what's up with asll the discrepencies from YOUR website!!!!???

whoa,, the 2008 TM TP forged irons are china forged??!! on your website, it says they are Japanese forged!! i've been in contact with some of the tourspecgolf staff via email and they have confirmed that they are japan forged... so now you've got me confused!! LOL

i'm talking about the mp-67's also,, does anyone have input on the TM TP Forged irons?

hello,, are Mizuno USA forged iron heads made in Japan or are the head made in china and assembled in USA??? i understand most US mgr's have their heads made in china, howerver the Japan Mgr's are made in Japanese forging houses.. i have had a few sets of Mizuno's and one of my gripes is that their chrome plating is SO thin, that after 1-2 rounds of golf,, i start seeing rust on the faces.. if they are made in japan, will all the other Japanese forgings do the same?? ie, the TM TP Forged thanks!!
