Tour AD DI vs BB vs MT vs MJ
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

JDM Fwy woods, What do you recommend..
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?
-
JDM Fwy woods, What do you recommend..
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.

interesting maybe... Bobby Jones putters
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

Putter Selection... Does It Matter?
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.

Putter Selection... Does It Matter?
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.

Epon 210kgx 52/56
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.

Srixon Z545 9.5* with Diamana D+ 60x gone to auction.
Nice stuff, especially the Kamui/Crazy combo. GLWS

TSG Club Works now Foams Woods!
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

prgr nabla wedge black.... look lout.!
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
-
prgr nabla wedge black.... look lout.!
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.

Perfect Pro Grips (any USA supplyiers out there)
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

prgr nabla wedge black.... look lout.!
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

Epon 2015 Release Schedule
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.

JBEAM 435 Black Out Driver In Hand Pics!
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.
