I would have loved to have visited unfortunately the US Consul did not bother to look at my wife's papers and just denied her a visa outright :mad: Travel plans have been moved to Singapore and Australia instead. I was eyeing the X FCIs you had in the BST but they had PX 5.0s. PM me if you might be willing to sell them heads only but sayang the PX 5.0s on them.

Philippine store price is P12,000. I think the current exchange is US$1=P56ish. Available only in 17-20-23 graphite only, none with NS Pro shafts. If guys are interested and we can get a bulk order I can ask the store for discounts. Let me warn you shipping from the Philippines is EXPENSIVE just check the Fedex/UPS sites.

Also still available over here in the Philippines.

Thanks Precision. Eactly what I needed!!! Oh oh...have you "informed" the new missus that you intend to put a set of US Specs into play. The very first time the missus walked into my equipment room - "Don't your freinds have their own basements to store their own golf clubs." Up to now I play with a sixsome that I let store their equipment in my basement :cool: Duke, Do me favor can you just go put DGS300s in whatever you buy. You know they won't last 6 weeks with you. That way I don't have to look at all your BST ads and say....If only those had DGS300s.

XXIO, Haven;t played played the X-01s. How is this compared to the X-01 in terms of distance, trajectory, spin, driver, iron, wind etc. I hear it is a softer ball as well. I have never found the X01/X01s balls as "soft". They feel towards the precept feel in the ball spectrum. I prefer firmer feeling balls like the U Tri Tour, original Stata Ace, Precept Tour Premium, etc. I don't play the ProV1 in any models because the feel mushy/good on every shot even bad ones. This is the strange part. I read from others that the X01s spins more. I find the exact opposite. I find the X01 spins more for me. In fact I would say the X01s would be the ProV1 X and the X01 would be the ProV1. I would have expected different since I would suppose the s in the X01s would be for "spin". Maybe I don't have the SS? Distance in terms of carry generally the same, X01s maybe a little less but that could be because it seems to fly a little lower. Where it actually lands seems to be a 5 yard difference. Trajectory X01s is lower> When I catch both solid on my driver I find the X01s maybe 15 feet lower at its apex vs the X01. Harder fairways and wind would definitely favor the X01s. I have been playing the X01 over the X01s almost exclusively for a month and a half now trying to get consistent for tournament season. I'll do a side by side tomorrow and PM you a more recent side by side.

Is this shaft a major upgrade from the 857? I have 2 857s and was going to experiment.

I play the X01, X01s and <UX-s> exclusively. You can search for my reviews. What would you like to know about these ball other than the fact they are expensive?

I know when I type too fast I always end up typing "balde" instead of blade.

So you have to get it off a tour player ....like mine :cool: and not off ebay and the BS site?

Insert? Material?

I hate to come off as dense, but would exactly do you mean by "reverse progression"? Sorry typing faster than the brain functions. I meant reverse progressive offest. If you look a most Japanese clubs the short irons have more offset than the long irons. Strange but true. I've passed on a lot of good deals on Japanese clubs because I cannot play the offset in the short irons. They have that funky transition in the hosel that makes me align everything off to the right.

I have no clue to be honest. http://www.s-trixx.co.jp/shaft_series/shaft_series.htm Another one of those things we will never really now just like the TM Rayons.

Do the I-4s have the reverse progression in the short irons?

Chris do you know if there is a significant difference from the Bassara Amorphous Shockwave compared to the Diamana Amorphous? What makes it "Amorphous" compared to the retail shockwaves and diamanas?

I have a few .350 shafts I want to experiment with. Was looking at these two heads must be square face and in 9.5 loft or higher. Condition 8-8.5 will be ok. PM me.

sending you PM.

Do you have any inside info on why there are two companies? One is the Katana Golf Ltd Japan which actually no longer uses Katana but "Sword" and the other which is Katana Golf out of Malaysia. I heard there was a split about a year or two ago. I would be biased for the Katana Japan because I have hit their products but what are the details?

Whats the difference with the blue X01s and the red X01s? I have both but haven't played the reds.

Getting dizzy trying to spot differences. Is it just me or do the dimples on the new X seem shallower and bigger? What happened to the HX pattern they were going to follow?

MGB, If you were watching on our local sports TV there was a time (Fri and Sat AM) they showed I think the Chrysler from last year right before the Buick coverage. I had friends sending me messages that VJ was only 1 behind when they were in fact watching the wrong tourney.

I saw a Japanese Magazine in the Japanese Restaurant I was having dinner in last night. There is a Cobra Driving iron (not hybrid) available in Japan that looks really good. Chris can you post a pic and PM me a price? My forged SS irons are that good and I want to match up a driving iron to replace my 3 iron.

6"2"/210 that explains a lot. Most of the locals here are mostly 5' 7"/150. I am 5'11" and on the very heavy side myself. I used to use X100s in everything when I used to workout 4xs a week, 9-10 years ago Now I can't lift anything more than 70lbs for fear that my retina will pop out again. It sucks having to hit Fuji Sixes when 757s work better for my tempo :sad:

That's because "you are so buff". The half of ??? must be responsible for that. When I was in the gym (before detached retina) I used to bomb a D/DGS300 quite decent as well. Dude, you sure your Filipino? An X100 in a D? I know maybe 5 of us Filipinos who could hit that and get decent distance. You need to watch more porn and get all that energy out of your system. I'm half Filipino and could hit that beast, just probably not straight. on topic, favorite film 'actresses' in no particular order: Tawny Roberts (although she's taken the collagen a little too far) Jewel Denyle Natasha's a good performer Tera Patric Devon

PM me if the other passes.
