  1. This overseas stuff rocks. Ready for some winter golf now :)
  2. Very high quality material. Lightweight yet very resistant and strong feeling. The details, like the buttons, zippers, collar linings, etc., all have cool Tourstage emblems and badging. As I said at the top, these are true "mediums" IMO. Some US mediums run rather large. I would say the sizing is very similar to Puma if you have tried those. I have a couple of medium Pumas and they fit the same. I went to the DWD website and might have my friend pick up a hybrid headcover for me. It is the only one in my bag right now that clashes. The putter cover is sweet.
  3. Here are a few shots. Nobody was home to help so the model shot is as good as it gets!! LOL.
  4. No worries, I snapped a few today and will add them tomorrow. The shirts really are amazing quality!
  5. Today I received a package from a friend who just returned from Japan. He has access to all of the premier brands, and all the current offerings. I went to the Tourstage catalog and picked out exactly what I wanted. I bought 7 shirts and a grey camo DWD headcover (to match my 909s). The quality of the shirts is amazing. I am a huge zip up mock guy, and nobody does it better than Tourstage. If anyone is interested in live pics I'm happy to snap some. I can definitely report that, specific to Tourstage, a size "medium" is very similar to a normal US medium. I find brands like Adidas and Calloway run large though, so in those brands a small fits me better. The shirts are athletic cut and definitely not made for plump people though; I work out frequently and they look perfect. The DWD cover has a strong magnetic clasp, and the texture of the exterior material is very durable and should hold up well. I am happy to see TSG will now be carrying the gear; it is really first rate.
  6. Hi Chris, hope all is well. Black watches used to be my weakness until The Survivor came along, and now it is my only one. Lot less in USD, and what is crazier is that it sells for well over retail. Lots to choose from nowadays in all price ranges. Panerai's ceramic 292 Blackseal is awesome. Ulysse Nardin has an affordable new "Black Ocean" Diver coming. But the Survivor trumps them all, especially if you are a guns and weapons fan, which I am. I bought my first AP about 6 or 7 years ago, and over time became friendly with some of the brand management here in the US. They are among the best watches in the world without question. I was invited a year ago to the event they held at Tunberry Isle in Aventura, FL. What a course that is. I guess the answer to the question is you have to have done more business with them than just one watch at a dealer. Your are supposed to be around a 10 handicap or better. I am about a 12 (I only play about 10 times a year which, as you can imagine, is rather frustrating, but I'm working on it). I am fortunate to have played around my number in the two events. The guys are super friendly. Vijay is so misunderstood; he is as nice as they come. In the last round I was about to hit a 9 iron punch uphill and Thomas said "freeze!". He walked over and while still in my address pushed my shoulders with two hands and almost knocked me on my ass! It was a downhill lie and I was trying not to get too far over the ball but obviously was not forward enough. He also showed us a trick I could not believe, if I can master it I'll take a picture but don't hold your breath. I cannot tell you how happy I was for Thomas to grab another win, and incidentally, he became the winningest French born golfer by doing so (5 titles). I'll add some other pics if you like. I posted my old TS staff bag for sale a month ago or so because I sourced a killer AP / Mizuno staff bag a year ago. Watches and golf... my favorite things
  7. Well I can't comment on his bag, but I can most definitley tell you what is on his wrist... Audemars Piguet! He was signed as a brand Ambassador about a month ago, joining Vijay Singh, Thomas Levet (winner of the 2009 Spanish Open), and others. I hope to meet and maybe play with him at some point. Two years in a row I have gone out w/ Vijay and Thomas, most recently at Sawgrass in April. The guys are super cool, all wear AP, and obviously play like MUTHAS. Levet was stone cold during our round, and was very confident heading into the Spanish Open. I knew he would do well. Here are a few pics from our last tourney and my favorite AP, the limited edition Survivor.
  8. Thanks for the reply. I am a S/M in US stuff, so I think a medium Tourstage will work. Appreciate the input. So as for the driver, do you and Chris have an allotment for us or are yours already sold too? I just stumbled across it last night and it looks great. Thanks mate!
  9. Is the 701R coming to the pro shop soon? Looks fantastic. Also, specific to Tourstage branded shirts, how far off is the sizing in Japan from a typical US shirt? Most of our stuff can run large, and I think it is the opposite overseas. A friend is visiting Japan soon and is going to bring me back a shirt and I am wondering what size to go for.
  10. I have had this bag for several years - maybe 4 or 5, dating back to when the Z101s and MR23s were being produced. It has never been outside, and sat for a brief period in my office to hold extra clubs. So aside from being a little dusty it is 100% brand new. Includes a large hood cover. Many pockets, Tourstage plastic and metal zippers, hip pad, logos, umbrella sleeve, etc. IMO the quality is as good if not better than anything else I have seen. Very heavy duty and well made. I am only selling it as two years ago a company I work with gave me a logo bag of theirs by Mizuno that I now keep in the office. The Tourstage bag is much better quality and deserves a good owner who will get it on the course, where it belongs. Price shipped to US destinations is now only $275!!. This bag is a real collector's item and surely comparable to Tourstage's current models. I used to be more active here at TSG, and in the past sold to numerous happy friends here. Paypal OK and preferred for this transaction. Feel free to email me direct at [email protected]. Thanks for looking
  11. Thanks guys... I have no need whatsoever for a new driver... but am thinking about it nonetheless!
  12. That putter sure looks nice in your avatar! I am through screwing around though. This year I have played w/ my Bettinardi Hello Ball Big Time. I got it as a practice putter, and it really has got me lined up. Didn't plan to use it this year, but until the last round it has been solid. However, last night I put the Gauge Design / Gold's factory SM490A back in the bag. Hammered a bucket into the crisp Colorado air (had our first frost last night) and then headed to the practice green. Forgot how sweet the SM490A felt. So soft, so nice on distance control. Still love Bettinardi DASS, but I am back in black for the rest of the year
