    Jbeam Glorious fw is ridiculously easy to hit of the deck. It's so easy I'm having to put install a heavier, stiffer profile shaft,which will get me more roll, and thus more distance. I wouldn't say it fits your classic look criteria though. It is a shallow design with a slightly larger foot print.
  2. +1 for the 2013 Onoff. Just pure awesomeness.
  3. Well, a congratulations is in order here. The price hike is unfortunate to us TSGers, but that's busuness. I'm very happy to hear this exclusive brand has gotten global traction. That's actually a big deal. In hoping for continued success, some of us will be able to say we saw this brand grow from its inception. Congrats, again, Chris. Oh, and maybe you can still hold end-of-year Seven sales for members ?
  4. Chuck, if you consider yourself to be a good striker of the ball, but lack SS, maybe you can grab a hold of a playeresque driver in a higher loft. That way you can take advantage of hotter materials and head designs, while getting the launch you need b/c of the mortal swing speed and flexibility issues. Then fit the appropriate shaft that feels good, offers reasonable launch, and offers decent roll. There are so many phenomenal options out there now, I doubt you'll have too much trouble maxing out your potential distance. And I do agree with the fact that much has to do with the right fit. Like Craig the wise said....my trash could be your treasure and vice versa.
  5. Still? It's still 2015, bro. Lol. I guess the question is pretty indicative of how quickly we tend to move on to the newest release. Ya, I've got a pair (52/58). They're pretty great. I have them w/the labospec repulsion shafts.

    Ya, dude. Beautiful clubs. Awesome shafts. GLWS
  7. Hey, James. Don't be discouraged man. At a 22 handi, you're right at the point of breaking 90 (bogey game). You just have a few strokes to go. In terms of head design, I think the Labospec 247G would definitely offer immediate help you think you need, but I don't think they are forged. Also, keep in mind, the larger you go, more than likely the more offset you're going to get. If you're semi-serious about improving your game, I'd look at Titleist VG3 (non E-type). Might be a little shorter heel to toe than you're comfortable with, but it's really at this level of cavity design you're going to start seeing less offset. I think if you get fitted in the correct flex with some quality graphite composite shafts that are offered in heavier weights, like the UST Recoils, you'll have a good chance at getting some of that launch and distance back, along with control and consistency. Also, some refresher lessons would probably go a long way. I'm sure Chris aka Tourspecgolfer could help you with all that. Hang in there man - you have a some good options to turn to.
  8. Yup, got his pm. Thanks, Spoon.

    I think RLL had one for sale some months back. Don't know if he's sold it or if it's even for sale still. Hit him up.
  10. Must be untipped and at least 42"...but the longer the better.
  11. Spoon, were you able to pick any up? Any extras? I'm looking for 70S version, untipped. I guess I'll just open my own WTB, but wanted to see if you got yours as well.
  12. http://www.tourspecgolf.com/crazy-crz-driver-weight-kit Not sure where you'd get a 8g.
  13. Here's a part of the item description in the TSG store... "The standard tip size is .370 parallel, but Taper tip is offered by custom order which is ground down at the Fujikura Factory to .355."
  14. This is my understanding as well. They take parallel tips and [gently] grind them down on the wheel to taper tip size. So, if this is true, and you order them in .355, I suppose they arrive on your doorstep already somewhat tip prepped.
  15. Yup, another fantastic option.
  16. Kinda digging the green color on those grips. What do these feel/play like? Can you make the comparison so iomic or no1?
  17. +1 for them recoils. Amazingly awesome shafts.
  18. I'm glad Stew is always a good sport about our teasing.
  19. There's been a lot of action over the years. ?
  20. A silicone gun/reel cloth would work well, too. Just a quick wipe gets off corrosive oils, a layer of protection, and adds a touch of sheen. And the best part - they only cost $5.
  21. Based on the pics, the F grind undoubtedly has the sharper toe, but overall the edges are softer. The D grind's toe is not as sharp, but the edges are more angular.

  23. I totally agree. For a 460cc head, the pear shape is definitely on the slimmer side.
  24. Still looking for a 20*. Thanks, gang.
