I bet these feel dreamy!! wonderful combo! GLWS

I feel this is a putter type missing from my arsenal. A center shafted wide blade! The hitting area looks nice and thick which I prefer because it usually means softer & denser feel.

Are these all done thru the available options offered thru their Miura Craftman World program? That is a good looking iron!

I’d add the Masda Fast Muscle Back in that list.

Updated pricing for the new year!

Now that the global model Rogue will be released next week, I am now wondering if Callaway Japan will also do a Rogue Forged Driver? Rogue looks to be a bit more forgiving in general compared to the Epic.

https://ameblo.jp/golf-detective-maeda/entry-12337643039.html I kinda liked the previous Tsubame x Orion irons. These new ones somewhat have design resemblance of the Seven CBs.

I had the Yamada one for a while.... the one issue I had with that trainer was the fact that it forced you to stroke in an actual straight stroke. Unless you have a lie angle of 90 deg, making a natural stroke with a putter with 70 deg lie angle should inevitably result in a slight arc movement. The Yamada trainer unfortunately does not take that into account. Still, I do think the DVD that came with the trainer provided some good thoughts about putting posture and rhythm. Also read Yamada's biography book that came with the trainer pretty interesting. :) I currently have a Ryoma "Umakunaru Cup" ( Umakunaru means "Will Improve you" ) https://www.ryomagolf.co.jp/webshop/index.php?_page2=detail&c=04&i=0017 - The size of the cup itself is 10% smaller than a real hole. - The side slope forces you to aim at the middle of the cup. - The shallow cup profile forces you to putt with just the right speed. If too weak , the ball will deflect to the side , if too strong the ball will come right out of the back side. Simple yet very effective in my opinion. Currently, I am really wanting to try the Pelz putting tutor that Matsuyama uses.

Hope you are all enjoying your Christmas!

I would be hesitant to pay almost double a Geotech head just for the "MIura" logo on it.

Recoil shafts are sold!!

Further reduction!!

I think many of us here are biased towards JDM equipment to start with. That said, I love my Benock because it was milled to my specs. Essentially, there is a CNC program at Benock which is unique to my specific putter. That's pretty cool if you think about it that way.

For the price, I'd feel safer going with a Fujikura, Mitsubishi or GD.

Wow!! just wow! What that means is that some of the fake club manufacturers guys are actually golf club enthusiasts like us? This is amazing!! well.. in a different sense.

These Mizuno Pro 118 have copper under lay and these are only sold thru Mizuno Pro fitters shops in Japan. It's their "in shop only" sales method that they started this year. Thus, they do not produce them for off the rack retail. Global retail model is MP -18 and I do not believe those have copper under lay.

One of my playing friends in Montana was trying to get MGS to write a review on a putting aid product that he invented and productized. The response he got was they can only do reviews for their sponsors..... or something along those lines. As for MGS Japan website, it says that Golf Partner will be managing the Japanese site. Golf Partner, as many here know, is a big franchise in buying & selling used golf equipment. Funny thing is that no one in Japan regard them as experts in club reviews. I usually stop by one fo their stores when I go to Japan but everyone who works there are not at all knowledgeable about clubs. The veteran members here know a heck of a lot more than those sales people. All they care about is to sell a lot of clubs. As a used club franchise business, I doubt that they can actually produce and deliver unbiased reviews without worrying about their relationship with the manufacturing companies.

I really don't see what they are trying to accomplish by introducing GolfSpy in Japan and in Korea. Both are already mature golf communities with plenty of equipment review sites already in those languages.

Must have been the Fire Express RB series.

Makes sense!!

Oh boy!

Milled Sevens? or maybe Modarts...

Not low :) I would personally put the head in the "mid spin" bucket. But shaft combination could affect the trajectory and spin quite a bit.

One thing I've noticed over the years of trying different style drivers is that my swing apparently is not a good fit with super low spin heads. I need adequate back spin for 1. Keep the ball in the air for long enough and 2. for directional stability and consistency. With super low spin heads, my dispersion seems a lot bigger. To me, low spin heads feel less forgiving for this reason. mid spin head combined with a mid-low spin / low launch shaft seems to be the best combo for my swing.

For me shallower 460 heads definitely inspire more confidence to go for it. Epon 153 was one that I really felt confident about not sure why I sold it !! , and my all black Ping G20 head that I still bag is another. However, it's not only the shape for me but also anticipation for the right sound at impact gives me added confidence to try and smack it hard. Grandista LS-001 was possibly the best looking shape to my eyes ... but the sound was just so treacherous. Modart +R that I use now is a bit deeper profile than I would have liked but I am starting to get used to the shape and getting more confident over it. If Grandista came out with an SP700 version of the LS-001 I'd get one in a heartbeat.
