swing speed 110mph, quick-ish tempo (think nick price), driver is strong suit, play or have recently played tourstage j340, titleist 983E tour head, tourstage p02-6

hope this is not over stepping any bounds, but which one, if you could only have one driver the rest of the year? or should I be looking at something from jbeam?

what are these crazy proto's everyone is talking about? different from the ccb-104 toyoshima's? would love to see some pics.

Tario, what do you know about these if anything? I had seen something last year about them in a golfstyle magazine, now they seem to be back this year with a new line-up http://gravitygolf.jp/ The driver seems to have a nice weight to it 80, 90, 110 grams, etc. The price is on par or higher with the likes of all the other full boron's as well.

I believe march 8 is the release date for the new iron sets and drivers. gocchin, will you be able to get the 909 x-blade in a full 3-PW set? I know they are releasing 5-PW as the set and then 3 and 4 irons individually.... either dynamic gold or modus3 are the shaft options for the irons i believe and a GD shaft for the drivers.

all this jbeam 435 talk is it the regular 435 everyone likes, or the new 435R? thanks.

came across this, does anyone have any info, how does it differ from the normal red?

here is another pic of the face milling on the 2013 yamaha blade;

as an m coupe owner, definitely love this!

as someone who is still playing the mr-23 us blade, i think an upgrade to these new 909's is in order, Tario, I know not much info is known, but do you have any idea on shaft options for the irons? I just got my flat black crazy toyoshima wedges with the crazy sports target tour 120 wedge shafts, and would explore the option of the the target tour 120 (non wedge) in these, also would bridgestone offer dynamic gold tour issue? thanks.

here are some quick in-hand pics of the blades and the tour driver;

RIduffer, not mine, just stumbled across it....

here are some pics of a 56* wedge;

shafts irrelevant, would prefer BRAND NEW!

pic is from reflex g sports blog/ameblo i would imagine; The difference between AF-102 Easily caught by the hook face is not compared to the AF-102 Higher trajectory by the deep center of gravity compared to the AF-102 Deep face looks the same as the AF-102 460cc Yet Slapping sound feel on impact is aggregated will look rounded than AF-102 I have the feeling that such a position of the driver of EPON Difficult ZERO AF-102 AF-103 AF-152 Friendly It was written in this way according to the article Epon AF series ever feel on impact, the best. Create a sense of ejection with smoke, chemical formula of their own design. Driver orthodox thought and advanced forging technology that does not change is a fusion. Shot put with a deep sound that has attracted players honed. EPON is confident feel on impact AF series ever, best come with confidence and the market Enjoy the feel and sound produce sound from the head feel on impact, the slapping sound, the sound of the last to disappear The strong growth in ... and ballistic Would it not have Shiaga~tsu drivers to stimulate the senses just EPON driver that will satisfy the sense of ownership of Dokutoku *september 30th release i believe

TSG, just read your last post regarding Naka, what are his cb's and wedges? the ones that you deem are the best cb's and wedges out today??

i think release date is september 3rd, but am not totally sure

Tario, that is perfect information, exactly what I was looking for as a differentiation between the two shafts in question! thanks again for all your time and help!

Tario, was going to also ask but forgot, these s-519 protos in the heavier weights 75/85 how would they compare to the black tj-80?

thank you very much, I guess its just deciding what weight to go for then.

looks like GD have updated the most popular tour/pro shaft; and called it the tour ad z9003

I am sure Tario would be best to give advice on these, so hoping he will chime in with what crazy is saying about the s-519 prototype 75 and 85. as someone who has always played a heavier driver shaft high 70gram to low 80gram these have me really intrigued. I know torque isnt what it used to be, but these seem really high? 4.5 on the 75 series and 3.X on the 85 series? any thoughts from anyone? thanks.

gentlemen (spoon and supo67) i thank you for the quick lesson and info regarding the shafts. i think the modus tx is the way to go! although i really wish i could hear some thoughts from those that have hit the crazy sports target tour 120 shafts!!

spoon, thanks for the quick rundown, and thats the main think, I do not really know what I am looking for, I have only even know true temper and their dynamic gold line, x100, s400, etc. the less weight in all the shaft I mentioned is what has my most concern... the modus 3 in tour x is approx.126 grams is that correct? I do not know if I have the swing speed for the tour x as opposed to the regular x (wich is a big weight difference if you ask me at 6grams coming in at only 120grams) modus 3 is actually nippons north american offering as well correct? kinda like the whole shimada thing, but is it safe to assume the modus 3 is made in japan then shipped over to the US? sorry for all the questions, this is a pretty big change though for me in terms of going something totally new!

looking for some iron shaft advice, been a long time dg x100 person. looking at either the nippon sp blue or nippon tour modus 3, but then shimada caught my eye, in japan its the k's tour? but they have different shafts for north america/europe is that correct? pro and or tour? looking for everyones thoughts, thanks. **should add the crazy sports target tour 120 (even though they are a little on the excessive price wise for a steel iron shaft)
