Romaro, Yamaha, etc... Fairways and Utes/hybrids
I haven't been active in following JDM products for a little while now, probably less than a year, but it feels like an eternity. So I'll probably be posting several "what's good, what's new?" type threads over the coming weeks. I am very aware that much of newest 2014 products will be revealed at next month's Japan Golf Fair, but I don't mind being brought up to speed with last year's 2013 stuff. So, as for FW and Utes, as I've been doing to my best to catch up on information and knowledge, I'd like to know what you guys think about the ones made by Romaro and Yamaha. I've handled a few Yamaha products before, mostly pre-2012, and they just feel so darn good. Length has been ok, but the feel has been amazing. Could some of you share your opinions about Romaro stuff, especially if you can compare the 2 brands. Also, don't be shy to chime in about other brands as well. I know Ryoma is a distance monster, but that's like stupid expensive stuff that I really only fantasize about, haha. Anyway, any info is appreciated, especially comparison info. Thanks!

Mizuno Japan Only MP-R4 Forged Wedge - Retail and Yoro
Wish they had more bounce options per loft though, like the r12.

Mizuno Japan Only MP-R4 Forged Wedge - Retail and Yoro
That raw finish looks amazing. The design and overall generous shape really give a 10 capper like me some confidence.

Can we expect both the new VG3 and Onoff forged to be revealed during the fair?

2014 Yamaha CB Tour Model Thread!
Can anybody compare these to the 2012 V forged (non-tour)? I'm specifically interested in length and forgiveness aspects.

I guess the mp-r4 would be a logical choice, given the fact they look so similar to the r12 I'm gaming. But it seems like the least exciting offering to me b/c I've been using the r12 and want to switch it up a bit. I would look a little deeper into the newest epon 213stx offering, but I wasn't crazy about the 210, so until I can at least read up on some detailed reviews (which I can't seem to find), I'm a bit hesitant to consider it. The bold intimidates me a bit b/c it seems to be a smaller head, which means less forgiving. I know almost nothing of the romaro wedges. I know a big fuss was made over both the 2011 Yamaha V forged wedge and the RC wedges? Do the newer Yammies and RC feel and perform as pure? Xerobound, are you referring to the 2012 or 2014 Vokeys? Do you know anything about the 2014 Cold Forged process in terms of whether or not it yields a nice butter soft feel?

Forgot to mention the above wedges are also pretty forgiving, which is important to me. Thanks, gang.

I'm looking for a new set. Currently I game Mizuno mp-r12 wedges, and I really like the slightly rounder shape, as I feel more confident than the smaller and narrower tear shaped models for stronger players. I have not had to privilege to handle a whole lot of different JDM wedges, but of the ones I've tried my absolute favorite JDM wedge is the Epon 208kgx - great shape (to my eyes) and super bite. So, using the mp-r12 and 208 wedges as shape references, what newer model wedges could you guys suggest?

Are these legit Z-TX 2 Irons?
Just asking you guys who might know better. Only reason these look a little suspect to me is b/c they are advertised as "new", but the word "forged" on the cavity is in white, whereas most of the Z-TX 2s have shown "forged" in red. What do you guys think? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Srixon-Limited-Edition-Z-TX2-Iron-Set-3-PW-RH-Steel-Stiff-/330786115173?pt=Golf_Clubs&hash=item4d04638e65
