any reviews are welcome reading because we don't get much help from the basic translations

I've bought some really expensive putters in my time - not 3 grand though - and found that the $300 Odyssey options are as good as anything. But for pure craftsmanship you can't beat the boutique Japanese offerings.

You will like the new XXIO drivers
-
and we all know that buying drivers based on other people's recommendations will get you a hefty credit card bill and a garage full of unwanted drivers.
-
and they are handouts for now - but you will all pay for them eventually
-
he was referring to the Govt threshold ($100,000) for the Covid handouts. If you make less than 100 g's you will get a Govt handout and you will not be buying putters for three grand.
-
these are great at mashing your potatoes.... and I'm sure they are great putters - but good luck finding dudes willing to pay close to 3 grand for a flat stick.

I'd need to switch to landscape to get mine in -- have 14 cart bags and all full.

COVID19 Cancels Japan Golf Fair 2020
dickyfowler replied to TourSpecGolfer's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
nobody should have 4 names -
personally I couldn't care less - but I don't play professionally and just use them to rob my friends. Playing off 1 and having all this lovely non-conforming equipment is a blast. But the benefits of most of the non-conforming gear is overstated. Sorry I can't answer your actual question.

this website has more glitches than Apollo 13
-
some YouTube reviews are coming online finally.... so keep your eye on those..... from TSG. And send your requests in for certain equipment that really interests you.

lots of new XXIO offerings just announced and you gotta love this crazy translation explaining some new tech for the X driver.... the top of the cock has accumulated deeply

the deep heads piss me off -- but it's a personal choice
-
I've tried dozens and would rate Maruman Shuttle as good as anything - also Ryoma and XXIO were quite decent.

Here is some info on the next TM iron offering. https://www.golfdigest.com/story/the-upgrades-to-taylormade-p790-iron-lineup-are-both-subtle-and-dramaticincluding-a-whole-new-dollar3000-model?utm_medium=social&mbid=social_twitter&utm_source=twitter&utm_brand=gd&utm_social-type=owned

they wouldn't lie - probably had some in the back room just for one last hurrah
-
thank you for that marvelous insight...... Meanwhile, had a few further rounds with the Shuttle Gold and it is ticking all the boxes. Michael J Fox has even ordered one.
-
yes most of us can get a handle on what they are trying to convey -- but it would help to have someone translating it correctly instead of relying on some rough Google attempt
-
The sensation of running like "Lightning & Thunderbolt" flash and pushing the ball with a thick impact is a unique feeling that can only be enjoyed with the LOOP shaft. >>> another wonderful translation explaining their newest offering in the store.....
-
You may have seen that Maruman are now offering gold drivers in their Majesty range for over 4 grand and one can only wonder why - doesn't seem like a big market out there for that price point. Anyway, for those of you who are 'normal' and don't mind spending around $700 I'd recommend the Maruman Shuttle Gold driver. My friend just bought one and he loves it. I tried it today and this thing just feels good, looks good, has good distance and is incredibly easy to play. Of course that doesn't mean it's for everyone, but I have dozens of high-end Japanese drivers and I'm confident recommending this one.

Titleist VG3 2018 irons - a quick observation
dickyfowler replied to Ian-500's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
I have the latest version and find them top quality and real aim-and-shoot clubs.... similarly the CNCPT irons Titleist have recently released...although they are very expensive compared to the VG3's and I'm not seeing much difference between the two. -
I did enjoy reading the blogs but none sighted in months..... and not enough reviews in general
