  1. I'd like to know too. Often i see these specific shafts in drivers while out shopping in Japan. I never got around to understanding the difference between them..Add the GT for me too. Would be good to know how they fall in the stiffness table, which one is stiffer/low torque/low launch and which is softer/higher torque/high launch
  2. Really liking the no frills, pure design language. Oozes understated class
  3. Sounds stealthy! And pricey, ha ha
  4. That's Tungsten isn't it? So, heavier then steel then
  5. The PRGR is a great FW, but it's neither smallish (actually larger than most) or shallow faced (rather deep faced in fact) so hardly matches ehst you asked for?
  6. Callaway Legacy Black, Srixon, either last years Z725 FW or the current Z F45. All compact and pretty shallow faced. Same goes for the Honma TW fairways, either last years 717 or the new 727.
  7. Ha ha, yeah the driver is kinda the cat amongst the pigeons there..
  8. Was Bob Jones known for being an extreme tinkerer? When I think of him I think of understated classiness, not somebody using a putter The Terminator or Dr Snuggles would use. Sounds alot like marketing BS to me. "He would take advantage of the latest technology" Oh yeah? Like approx 0.0000001 % of golfers that use extremely adjustable putters. Sure, sounds likely
  9. I actually disagree, I'm sure you, or anyone, could use a square lump of metal with a flat face with standard loft and lie at 34 inches, spend 10 minutes on a putting green with it, and go out and put exactly as good (or bad) as you do with a custom made fitted putter. Otherwise, why do people switch putters even AFTER they have been custom fit to the highest level? It's not like there is some new tech coming out, you won't wear a putter out too.
  10. Moved this here from another part of the forum: I have a few decent putters, but of all clubs I have in the bag, the putter is the least important for me. I put ok, but will put decently with more or less any putter, if I get a few minutes on a putting green to get used to the feel. Also, I've had/have SCs, Bettinardi, Rife, Ping etc and I can see no performance benefits using a 'high end' putter. I feel that as long as there is a flat surface on a square lump of metal, I could use that and probably putt just as well? Unlike other clubs that will benefit from technology because they travel at 100+ mph, a putter is usually used just for a little 'tap'? I get a distinct feeling it's about bling, looks and collecting when it comes to putters, more so than other clubs.

    I got the 50 version bent to 52. I'm not selling but can recommend this route, at least if you play in soft conditions and/or is a bit of a digger. It plays ideal for me now with that bit of extra bounce. So if you can't find a 52 but a 50, this is an option.
  12. Nice stuff, especially the Kamui/Crazy combo. GLWS
  13. The foam gives a more muted sound, which in turn improves the feel. Usually no other performance differences. A better sounding/feeling driver is of course a big deal in itself

    Is there a head cover? Weight?
  15. That's exactly what I thought. They do sell them as individual wedges in some shops in Japan though. But they really should let them take their place in the regular wedge line up
  16. They are actually part of the Nabla RS iron set, these wedges are made to match up with the irons, hence they only come in 51 and 57 degrees to flow with the 45 degree pitching wedge of the RS irons. That's why you won't find them among the wedge offerings, but you must rather click on the Nabla Rs irons to even see these wedges.
  17. There is a website called tourspecgolf.com that sells them. Ships worldwide too. At a very competetive price even, at least when I compare to what JDM grips cost in Thailand
  18. I held these in my hand recently and almost "impulse" bought them on the spot. They just sat so nicely on the little carpet next to the club rack, ha ha
  19. JDM means a product that is officially sold and marketed only and specifically in Japan. If the same product, goes for any type of product by the way, is sold officially worldwide it is NOT a JDM product. Really easy. So Epon, that now officially promotes and sell its stuff worldwide, is by definition NOT JDM. PRGR is JDM. As is OnOff, Miura Giken, Tsuruya and others.

    If I would go for a SGI set, these are the ones for sure. Great looking sticks, GLWS
  21. Well looks-wise the ZY-11 seems to br specifically built for long driving, with that V-shaped ultra-deep face. Just looking at the photos I'd say it's a more specialized head, needing a super high tee and is probably very low spin. Would be interesting to know if it has a reinforced face too.
  22. 700 is actually less than I thought these would be.

    Are they uncut?
  24. What's the cpm on the Jbeam/Boron combo? Swingweight?
