landshark Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 these are nice looking clubs, but wonder how the feel, forgiveness is on these. how is the forgiveness, size, and feel of these compare to their forged viq's? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TSG Customer Service Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 There hasn't been much fanfare on the X-Blade GR but they are premium Endo forged and in recent magazine reviews, a couple of them had them ranked as more forgiving that the ViQ Forged! Size would be close to ViQ Forged, the entire GR lineup is supposed to be for the Average golfer wanting TS's higher end stuff like X-Drive and X-Blade.

Randy Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Just picked up a set of these irons and only had a chance to play a couple of holes with them. I was a little concerned about feel due to the undercut, but I shouldn't have been. They feel as good as a set of custom Mizunos that I am currently playing. Can't compare them to the VIQ irons as I never played them, but they seem pretty forgiving. As forgiving, if not more so, compared to xtours. I will report back more tomorrow after I have played them for a full round. aloha randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you see the undercut trailing behind at setup, or do you only see the top-line and face? This is another item that's been out for a little bit of time without much fanfare or write-up. How thin/thick is the topline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 I will check again in the morning when the sun is out, but under the kitchen light you can just start to see the undercut on the 6 iron. Of course then you can see more in the 3,4 and 5 irons. As far as top lines goes, it appears a little thicker than my Mp 27s, but I would not say it is extremely thick. As far as looks from address, it is the first somewhat game improvement iron that I liked the look of. The heads appear to be a little longer than the MP 27s, but off-set seems to be about the same. Not sure this helps much, but my impressions under the kitchen light. Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numtie Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 these are nice looking clubs, but wonder how the feel, forgiveness is on these. how is the forgiveness, size, and feel of these compare to their forged viq's? thanks I have a mint set in he BST. Soft,forgiving, a little larger at the back than the regular TS forged offerings. A fine club all around. Numtie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 If anyone wants to see the topline of the GR and what the cavity looks like, GDO has their video review up: http://www.golfdigest.co.jp/golftv/gear/it...n/070515_02.asp Seems to work best in IE, could't get it to work right in Firefox for me.

Blader-X Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Thanks for that Gocchin. You must've been reading my mind. I was thinking of picking up a 3 and 4 iron of these to play around with. Offset looks to be a bit much for my taste but damn, if TourStage doesn't make some fine looking irons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
