gocchin Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Here is collaboration number 1: Kamikaze, pearl white shaft with red and black graphics. This is still a prototype and may not necessarily be what the finished product looks like. We have a second design/model that should be ready as well soon.

robbie Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 the colors work for me......the name ....not so much..... i rather have it named after some samurai legend or prophecy or something more ethereal..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shacco Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Are these the same spec as a normal crazy shaft just with different graphics? More important... how much???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swisstrader Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 the colors work for me......the name ....not so much..... i rather have it named after some samurai legend or prophecy or something more ethereal..... There's actually a link between kamikazee suicide pilots and the samurai way of life that was all about choosing death vs defeat or capture or loss of honor. That being said, I'm not sure the suicide theme is best here. Also, Kamikazee in the US is an alcoholic drink that usually young college kids drink until they pass out, so perhaps not the best image!

+TourSpecGolfer Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Kamikaze means "divine wind" and it's actually from the 13th century. A huge Mongol army (sent by Genghis Khan) attempted to land in Japan and invade it. The Japanese fought back and managed to prevent a serious landing, but the Mongol fleet was still moored offshore waiting to launch a new attack. A great storm blew up and many Mongol ships were sunk. There weren't enough troops left for an invasion and the survivors retreated back to mainland Asia. The storm was seen as divine intervention - divine wind - Kamikaze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potuna Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Maybe call it TSG1 and TSG2 as specs and cost are most important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idrive Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I'd simply name it Tourspec I do agree that the name is really not a good fit..... Like the looks tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Thanks for your comments but were sticking with this name guys. These are just custom graphics we "might" be offering in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t425 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Graphics idea: Maybe have the TSG logo & Crazy logo together at address like a roddio shaft then the bottom half with graphics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbie Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) for some americans, the word kamikaze brings back negative memories..... Edited July 10, 2012 by robbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPONfreak Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 not just americans.........very poorly thought out branding really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I was never one to shy away from controversy. The stealth fighter and rising sun also adds fuel to that fire doesn't it. It was designed by the infamous Jumbo Karakuchi. The Kamikaze will be a special shaft graphic for the Royal Decoration available as an upgrade option. We're selecting our favorite Crazy shafts and kicking it up a notch. If its not for you great stick with the standard graphics. You guys will love what we have coming next... Or not ;o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmclarenf1 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 not just americans.........very poorly thought out branding really My thought exactly. Reminds a lot from Asia of a very bad and evil Japan which did a lot more than they are still willing to admit. But this s a golf forum so we will let sleeping dogs lie.
