    Tourstage? I appreciate it.

    Does anyone know if Fourteen and Epon have golf towels? Thanks.
  3. I appreciate it man. Thank you!
  4. What is the lowest spinning Japanese TSG driver. Just talking about face. Does anyone know the answer? Thanks fellas.
  5. I put the super peening blues (Xstiff) in my set of Epons (not the 301's, the ones before those came out). I haven't played golf in a long time, can't remember the name right now. Anyway, trajectory is lowish (with the blue), very smooth, they look very nice, seem to be very accurate. I love them.

    I have a matrix ozik altus in one of my hybrids and a ut-85 in the other. Both are really nice. Both X-flex. Matrix is extremely straight. UT is smother for sure. Can't go wrong with either. I'd probably recommend the UT for the smoother swinger.
  7. Forged is looked upon as the more elite choice. With most of us golfers being as competitive as we are (as well as equipment snobby) we're going to naturally convince ourselves and migrate to forged. For someone says there is absolutely no comparison between forged and cast is ridiculous. I have two sets of cast irons (Ping and Callaway) and two sets of forged irons (Epon type J's and Mizuno MP 37's) and i love how each of them feel. I can't honestly say forged feels better than cast as it's total preference. I would say from my experience, a forged iron has a heavier, more solid feel when compared to a cast iron. Does that mean it's softer? Maybe. Maybe not. I know when i hit either the Ping's or the Fusions on the screws, it feels incredible as well, just in a slightly different way. Like anything, forged vs cast is personal taste.....largely dependent on the human mind finding a way to convince you of what you want to believe. At the end of the day though, more than anything, it's fun!
  8. You're right. It was. I was trying to be, in a not too offensive way. I take it back though. Seems this Kramski guy is more than legit. My apologies.
  9. Uh......Kramski? I'm a major putter snob and i've never even heard of anyone hearing of this putter. There are things you compare in life.........Celtics/Lakers, Plasma/LCD, Blondes/Brunettes.... and then there are the things in life you just don't mention under the same breath. Pretty confident Gold's Factory and "Kramski" being one of them. I can maybe see Bettinardi, Cameron. Kramski!? Sorry man, no offense.
  10. Is it one of the lowest spinning drivers on the market?

    I personally have no idea whatsoever but i'm really as to what you guys think. Would Tiger Woods play better golf (lower consistent scores) if he were to switch over to strictly Japanese golf equipment? Driver, woods, irons, wedges, putter, shafts, ball. He gets to choose whatever Japanese brands he likes best, fitted flawlessly to his specs of course. Would he be a better golfer? Please, lets hear your opinions.

    Play the Ozik Altus in my hybrid. Amazingly straight, sturdy. Not the smoothest feeling, but probably the best pure performing shaft i own (distance, accuracy, trajectory) and i own a Fujikura Speeder (distance champ) Accra SE 80 M5 (nice kick, strong) Roddio Pentacross (smooth, but seems flimsy, distance seems minimal) Mach Line (2nd smoothest, straightest overall) Proforce V2 (not for me, kickpoint too low), Harrison Low launch (very nice), Aldila by U proto (good distance), Graphite Design UT i think it is, in my other hybrid (smoothest feeling shaft i own, straight, just overall nice). Have played others, can't even remember all of them. Oh ya, Diamana Blue...nice kick, balance, distance.
  13. Wrists, forearms. Both normal and reverse barbell curls to work both the top and underside of the forearms. Works for me.
  14. http://www.tttourconcept.com/tc/irons_dgt.html My main concerns are lowering trajectory and preserving great feel since i don't wan't to ruin the delicious melted butter feel of the Epon Type J's. Right now i'm heavily leaning towards the Nippon Super Peening Blues. But these Dynamic Gold "Tours" look interesting. Would appreciate input. Thanks!
  15. Is TSG going to be getting any more Epon AF wedges in stock? Even any of the older copper type X's or "Technity" wedges?

    Is there an official Shimada shaft website? Looking for their info on their product line. Thanks
  17. Just curious. On average, what type of iron hits the ball furthest? Same swing speed, same shaft, trajectory etc, which typically hit the balls longest? Blades, Muscle Backs, Cavity Backs and why?
  18. Good man! And that bag is absolutely sick!

    What's the scoop on this new GD "YSQ" shaft? Says it's being released in one week today.
  20. Helps a lot! I'm off to Phoenix on Mon. I think i'll be installing the Type J's with Super Peening Blues. If the feel is buttery, like Nippon is known for, and the SPB lower the ball flight, that's exactly what i'm looking for! Great!

    Any word on an Epon Hybrid?
  22. Mjr. D replied to jjunonet's post in a topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
    Also very interested in an Epon bag. Hopefully the Tour bag doesn't have that dog. Please. Please.

    Ya. I have a SMT 455 with a Fujikura Speeder. I've tried probably 15 driver, shaft combos and the 455/fujikura is without a doubt, the furthest hitting driver i've ever hit. Not the easiest to control, but incredible distance.
  24. The Cleveland's look really really nice. I usually like Chrome but in this case, i'd take the satins all day long. Nice work!
