  1. Ya i hear ya, it's just when i compare the 3 wood side by side the driver, the 3 wood is definitely no question more square. Wonder why? Both are supposedly neutral.
  2. I posted this last night but i can't find it. Anyway, Just wondering why my Epon Technity 3 wood neutral face looks a LOT more neutral than my Epon Technity neutral driver. Although the driver is supposed to be neutral, it looks like it might be naturally closed somewhat. Anyone else notice this? The 13.5 is dead straight alignment.

    Check out the putter for 2007 too. Looks pretty interesting.

    Has anyone else seen the Mizuno JPX E500 irons in silver and gold? They look amazing! Here's the link. http://www.mizuno.co.kr/golf/product/i_jpx_e500.asp
  5. Just got my wedges in. Haven't had a chance to test them yet, but they're all beautiful and i love em! Epon X in copper, Epon Technity in black, Yuri Yuri raw black, Yuri Yuri Gekku, Fourteen V3, PRGR 3 and Tourstage X-Wedge. I bought them with different shafts just to see what feels good and what doesn't for now, but i do want to obviously stick with the same shaft in each wedge. What would you guys go with and why? I was thinking either Nippon 1050 or 1150's, I hear Black Gold's are great in wedges and i was also thinking Tour Concepts (love those in my Pings). Please help out. Thanks guys!
  6. What is the difference between going with hybrids or 5 and 7 woods? I know 5 and 7 woods are supposed to play like woods more and hybrids more like irons, but are there any other differences/reasons why a person would go with one over the other? After getting my Epon 13.5 fairway i'm thinking about getting rid of my hybrid and getting a Epon 7 wood. Thanks.
  7. I'm making a comeback in professional baseball (pitcher) and i'm going back to my childhood roots. That means, i'm looking to buy a Mizuno baseball glove. Their top of the line in black (not available in North America). I had one when i was a kid my first year playing ball. Does anyone have a hookup in Japan or does anyone have a way of getting me one of these. I'll pay you for the glove obviously, the shipping of course, and an extra $100 for the trouble. I really really need this one. Please and thank you. Here's the link. http://www.sportsmart.in/shop/goodalign/go...odcd=1133761302 *****I'M LOOKING FOR THAT EXACT BLACK GLOVE, IF POSSIBLE, I'D BUY THE EITHER OF THE OTHER COLORS TOO. **** Please PM me if you have the connection, you live there, or you can read Japanese and help me figure out how to order one. Thanks again, i really appreciate it.
  8. Just got my Epon X (copper) and Technity wedge (black), 13.5 fairway with mach line pro fairway and also the sacred Technity Driver with a Roddio W-7WA shaft. Just want to say, although i've only hit some balls into a pillow/blanket in my living room, i'm convinced there is a legitimate difference between japanese and USA brand clubs. I know this is nothing new to any of you, but it's my first time with Jspec equipment and I was skeptical about just how much of a difference there could really be. The 3 wood blows my mind! It feels like buttery lightning off the face! Unbelievable! Don't feel as much of a difference with the wedges, but they did feel incredible. Could feel the face gripping the ball and spinning the crap out of it. Obviously you have to try all this stuff at the range or the course, but so far i'm absolutely impressed! Aside from some putters, the Epon X wedge is the single nicest golf club i've ever seen. I'm going Epon for life.
  9. Not sure if this site is related to TSG or not, but either way, it seems good and if you scroll down, there's a few good blurbs on a new triangular shaft, tiger's proto wedge, and a few other interesting things. Have a look. http://www.prodivisiongolf.com/archives/golf_equipment/
  10. Oooooooooooooh deep, i like it. But what if your current set up was pink with gash marks all over it?
  11. Looking for a black Bettinardi with a sound slot.........right handed.......don't care about length or weight. Gold or solid black face would be nice........don't want the copper/bronze face. PM me please!! Thanks.
  12. I"m curious to know just how many of us are as passionate about slashing our scores as we are about slashing our wallets. So, i ask each and every one of you (be honest)..............if you could have your absolute total dream equipment set up, personalized and customized just the way you like it (bag, towel, wedges, two or three putters, a couple drivers, shafts, irons etc etc) sitting right in front of you in your living room, this very second or have 6 strokes shaved off your game this very second, which would you take? And i know a lot of you are probably going to say the reason you buy this equipment is to see what works best for you in order to give you the greatest chance of lowering your score. And yes, that might be true, but I think it's also safe to say a big part of why we buy this equipment is just the satisfaction of knowing we have the finest, the most sought after and the most beautiful etc. Nothing wrong with that. I just want to know which side occupies more of you...........honestly. For me personally, at this point........i'd definitely take the 6 strokes off my game.
  13. I played pro baseball and let me tell you, from people i've talked to and met.........there are a lot of guys you wouldn't even think that use steroids. Sosa..........i think it's safe to say that's a no brainer.

    I'm not a big mallet fan but that thing is pretty awesome! How much did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking?
  15. Oh cool, i just bought 7 wedges and now this comes along. This site is worse for the bank account than a casino.

  17. HA HA........well put. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell put my man. Thanks.

    Does anyone know what lofts/bounce the Yuri Yuri wedges come in? Do we have the option of just buying the head of any wedge chris sells and shafting it ourselves?
  19. Some people say they like to have 6 or 8 wedges. 3 or 4 for hard/firm conditions and 3 or 4 for softer conditions. I personally like this approach for two reasons. For starters, it just seems to make perfect sense, and two (and far more importantly) it gives us the "ho's" reason to consume more beautiful wedges. My question is, which lofts would you typically want more bounce in and why? I'm noticing a pretty consistent pattern with a lot of the manufacturers. It seems most make their 50* through 54* wedges with moderate bounce, their 56* and 58* with a lot of bounce and then their 60* with less again. Why is that? I'd like to have most of my wedges with less bounce simply because i attack the ball pretty sharply, but i'd like to have a few wedges with higher bounce just for the times i play in softer conditions. I'm just not sure which ones i should choose for that. Is there anything wrong having a 52* or 54* with a lot of bounce or a 56* or 58* wedge with little bounce........say 4 or 6 degrees? If you haven't noticed yet, i'm more than a little confused over all of this. Thanks fellas. P.S. What are your opinions on having clubs bent to adjust loft/bounce?

    Anyone know the specs of these? Kickpoint, weight, torque etc. Can you get them in the 120g range? Thanks.
  21. Mjr. D replied to Mjr. D's post in a topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
    Cool, i'll keep that in mind. Do you know what the difference is between the 1150 and the super peening?

    Just finished deciding which wedges i'm going to order. Here are the pics. Only difference is i'll be getting the tourstage with the blue strip instead of the red. 48-Fourteen 50-Miura 52-Epon & Yuri Yuri (different bounce) 55-Epon & Yuri Yuri (" ") 58-G-Field & TourStage (" ") Anyone have any any advice on shafts. I want to try the Shimada shafts in the Epon's, hear they're great. Just not sure of the specs. I'd like to go with Nippon's in the rest, most likely. I just got a Nippon "Super Peening" installed in my Vokey 62* and it seems nice. Not sure what the difference is between the super peening and say the 1150's or 1050's. I'm looking for something in the 125-130g range in the lower lofted wedges, and something in the 120 range in the higher lofted wedges. Stiff in the higher lofts, X-stiff in the lower. High kickpoint. Any advice with any of this, including my wedge selections would be very appreciated. Thanks guys.
  23. Selling a Callaway Fusion 20 degree FT Hybrid. Neutral Face. It's in pretty great shape. Never really hit it much. The shaft with it is an Aldila NV hybrid 85X. $100 or best offer. PM me if interested. Thanks.
  24. I'm selling a professionally pulled 46in Mitsubishi Diamana Flowerband Blueboard. I had it in a Nike Sasquatch Driver but pulled it after only playing two rounds with it. The shaft's totally mint. Very smooth, not boardy at all. It's the 83g X-stiff. Send me a private message if you're interested. Offer me a price. Thanks. P.S. I'm a 100% Ebay seller.
