  1. Saw that too. A bit strange
  2. Vegaman replied to supo's post in a topic in Buy, Sell, & Trade
    Gone?
  3. I consider myself to be pretty well informed when it comes to obscure JDM, but that Zodia FW had me intrigued..looks good
  4. Well, it looks minimalistic and clean design-wise. Which I like

    Where are you located btw? Or where would you be shipping from is what I mean
  6. Well, strengthening lofts will decrease bounce at the same time. If you are a bit of a digger this could be a problem, especially in the shorter irons I guess. And if you play in soft conditions.

    Good deal here, also nice n heavy. hard to find. GLWS
  8. I've seen a RS-001 Type S , with a silver face, in addition to the regular RS-001. Is the "s" version shallow faced? Or is the silver faced version the SP700 Ti?

    Isn't it called rat glue? And yes, kinda brown/yellow in colour

    Cant see the OnOff Shingo in the list?
  11. Which iron is this? The one with the round medallion in the cavity? The one you find if you search 2009 tour preferred
  12. What's the length of the Monaco shafts with the heads on them?

    Was looking at the new releases from PRGR and suddenly realised I would probably be happy with a whole bag of PRGR..The new deepfaced driver, FW and hybrids...Then maybe Nabla Tour forged irons or RS forged, RS forged wedges...Yeah.

    I know, so did Ping about a year ago. As if it was some sort of über premium Ti..
  15. Well, forged will generally wear faster than cast, and then non-plated forged will wear even faster still. I'm not fond of maintenance, can't be bothered with oils and stuff, so I generally prefer plated and forged..
  16. Rust vs no rust. I personally can't stand a rust prone finish, but that's just me. Even on wedges
  17. Great looking wedges. Too bad shipping is an arm and a leg for us 'asians'

    Agree. Having held these wedges in ny hand I remember that the whole sole was ground in this "knobbly" fashion. A very organic and handmade look. But as for performance, yeah wjo knows. I'm thinking there must be a real challenge achieving any kind of consistency from one head to the next, I very much doubt they can put all those little surfaces in the same spot, time after time.

    That's kinda what I was thinking too, plus consistency (between heads) might not be very good. Hence my initial thought that this was more about looks than performance
  20. Vegaman replied to Vegaman's post in a topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
    Yeah, had me wondering too..A bit too pricey to just buy n try
  21. Ha ha, ok! Plated?
  22. Are these the plated version? Also, shipping incl CONUS only?
  23. Yeah, I hear you about the finish and sharpness. Like you said, the 52 can dig when I get steep, especially now during the rainy season here in Thailand, all courses are soggy, soft and wet..What I've noticed though is that they really cut through even when I get steep, resulting in huge divots, but the ball still flies..I'm thinking these must be outstanding for somebody playing medium or firm conditions. Can't wait for drier times to come around.And yeah, the finish is just outstanding, the satin on mine are just incredibly smooth, but still durable. I've seen the black ones too, look great as well, and good to hear it's also durable. One thing I noticed that can be a negative for some (not me really) is they aren't as long as my other 52s and 58s. They fly a bit shorter for me, pretty lowish flight but with incredible spin
