Oh... I know, I know!!

I’m still on planet earth. Patience... pretty sure pictures to go along with my review are getting processed as we speak.

Wow. No one biting other than the 7D shaft. The Diamond Speeder is one heck of a distance shaft!! 5S was a bit flexy for me but someone with 90 to 95mph are sure to gain distance. Check out this comparison: https://www.alba.co.jp/sp/gear/column/article?title_id=32&id=7164&page=3 all three testers achieved the longest distance with the Diamond Speeder. Closest thing to a magical distance shaft!! Just played my Grandista with a Diamond Speeder in 5X over the weekend and I was carrying the ball to distances I normally only see during the Summer. It’s really really good!!

For sale is a mint condition Evnroll ER1.1 putter. 34.5" long This is a non-retail 365g head. You won't find this on their website. The face milling provides more consistent distance control and less dispersion as they advertise. However, my lighter head Benock seem to work better for me. Grip is a Super Stroke Mid Slim 2.0 Headcover is unused and has the magnetic marker on the side. SOLD!!

Here is a freshly modified 2018 Ping Vault 2.0 CRAZ-R H putter 38" long meant to be a Counter Balanced putter. Sent in the head to Ping to get the heavier weight screws in Black installed .. Shaft is a non-stepped steel shaft powder coated in matte black. Grip is a fresh Ping CB60 pistol mid grip that is heavy enough to make the putter counterbalanced. Comes with two headcovers and the original copper colored standard weight screws. Condition is 9/5/10 with just a tiny ( almost unnoticeable ) chatter mark on the leading edge of the sole. Not sure why Ping did not make a CB model for this particular head, I personally think it looks great now that it is all murdered out! Unfortunately, I seem to putt better with standard length blades. I just had the urge to build this and try. Another failed experiment of mine.. you could say.... My loss is your gain! SOLD

Those irons are really tempting too but ive got two gamers now... and should not get a third.... though these pocket cavities are really what I should be playing to score lower.:)

PM sent on the wedges

Yup ... again not sure how accurate these are but with the same balls I don’t get as long of a read with my other drivers. So at least I can say relatively speaking, Grandista RS-D/ Diamond Speeder combo is longest for me. Oh and my recent acquisition, Srixon Z785 / Atmos is a close second but not as good looking or sounding as the Grandista just more forgiving.

Nice review!!!

Nice irons. Don’t forget to include your name and date written on a piece of paper in your pics. GLWS!!!

what's the weight on this head? also you need to add a hand written name tag to the pics. ?

Not sure about everyone else but I don't mind the spin welded hosels. Seems like they can do a better job at drilling the hosel dead center. With one piece forged, I seem to occasionally run in to off centered hosels.

Aha!! I recognized the back cavity design similarity with the original Seven CB! Great design!

Welcome to the forum!! Nice to have you. I'm not too familiar with the K-Gekku products but for a short while I did have a pair of their Tataki Okamura Wedges. They were larger sized than your typical tour type wedges and thus a bit more forgiving. Feel was very soft and it spun the ball very well. Some of the K-Gekku wedges I believe still use square grooves which if you are playing in PGA sanctioned events and things, it may be a problem. For casual play I think square grooves just make the game more fun! ? I like the Yururi wedges in that they have unconventional loft variations unlike other companies who only do 50 52 56 58 60.... Not sure why but I always thought lofts with odd numbers somehow looked cooler on golf clubs.

It's interesting that they combined a stronger loft with an MB. I guess more people are used to playing strong lofted cavity irons before they make their way to use MBs, so it does makes sense. Are these also the work of Shinagawa grinding? the overall profile and the leading edge relief look very similar to the Seven X Shinagawa as well as the Himeji X Tsubame irons. Very sharp looking irons!

Really good wedges!! great price on these too! GLWS!

To all TSG forum members here in the U.S. and outside of the U.S. Happy Thanksgivings!! I am thankful for this forum and the time I get to mingle with people all over the globe who are all fond of JDM golf equipment!

They look like one of the open models muscle backs made of SS400 steel. http://www.fujimotogikoh.co.jp/page-521/ if it is the regular muscle back, then the specs are Club Loft(°) Lie(°) F.P.(㎜) Weight(g) 4 24 60.5 4.5 250 5 27 61.0 4.5 256 6 30 61.5 5.0 263 7 34 62.0 5.0 270 8 38 62.5 5.0 277 9 42 63.0 5.0 285 PW 46 63.5 5.5 293 They also have a muscle back that has an internal cavity. (hollow) But judging from the narrower sole width , I think this is the solid one piece version. Hope this helps.

Pay per view on ESPN here in the US... $20 is a bit steep but I don't have much else going on Friday anyway.

Had a good session at the range last night with my Grandista RS-D / Diamond Speeder combo. While I am not sure how accurate the read is on the Top Tracer things... I was trying to see what kind of distance I can get with this combo. As I started pounding the ball with everything I had... I was starting to see 150mph+ ball speeds which I hadn't seen much in the last year... I've been hovering around 143 to 145 as of late. On a couple of the shots with 151 or 153 mph ball speeds, I got around 285 yards with roll.. which might be the longest measure that I have ever seen since I moved to Washington ( sea level ) I was able to reach 300 back in Montana where we got 10% more distance due to high elevation. but I'm actually pretty happy with 285 at sea level. Perhaps my swing isn't slowing down with age (51 y.o. ) as much as I thought! Provided that the ball speed I saw was with range balls, I think a real ball would give me slightly more speed. I should be getting the Speeder TR today so I might hit the range again with the Romaro later this evening.
