  1. I could not use the shaft even if I wanted to... too sturdy for my current swing. They do look really slick on those Copper P1s! Perfectly matching! Happy early Christmas to you, Hutchy!
  2. I like the look of the CB.
  3. I think they released some ”Black” models at the end of October. - Classic Driver Black - R1 Blade Black Boron - R1 CB Black Boron
  4. Good lord... just as I cleared my "to try" list ... comes these 105s.
  5. Well done Hutchy! You guys down there are lucky to have Christmas during your Summer!
  6. I believe Bridgestone Tires worked closely with Mugen Racing and therefore this collaboration was just leveraging exsisting relationships.
  7. I'd like to see dark grey number fonts. The white stands out too much. Black logo may produce a stealthy look as well.
  8. Oh geez... the Japanese word for "downtown" got cleansed....
  9. It's all because of that "s**tamachi Rocket" TV drama. ( Good TV show , BTW ) "Precision Manufacturing" being used as a means to show Japan made product superiority over foreign competition.
  10. Researching this further, retail is 85000 JP yen per head!! Darn!!
  11. Bridgestone Golf apparently just released a new wedgeset in collaboration with "Mugen" ( i.e. Mugen Honda Racing ) It's a full milled wedge from ingot piece of metal ( not sure what type of metal it is ) . Their argument is that current golf equipment are not manufactured to the tight tolerances utilized in other industries ( automobile , etc ) So in collaboration with an expert in producing high performance racing engines and parts, they decided to take golf club manufacturing to the next level. Industry critics are saying that companies in the golf club vertical will soon start competing against each other in producing equipment with high precision and very very tight tolerances. I personally thought JDM clubs had tight tolerances already.. but apparently not compared to other industries. Though I do wonder how much difference a wedge set with +/-1g tolerance will fair against one with +/- 0.1g. Would even the professional players notice the difference in performance?
  12. Thanks a ton for clarifying gents!! Paypal should rethink this in order to further expand its use globally.
  13. Grandista Ver. S Ghibli Night Tourstage X Drive P02-6 (365cc) Nothing new right now that I desperately want to try. Maybe the AF 105, but I have a feeling that it's not significantly different from previous models.
  14. Thanks Steven and Victor! very helpful. Have a great rest of the weekend!

    very very nice items! GLWS!
  16. Quick question for our Friends in Singapore. Is there an option to send "gifted" funds out of Singapore Paypal to a US Paypal user? I am only familar with the US user interface and trying to help out a member with a purchase. Any insight and guidance would be appreciated!
  17. First Item: I have here a Geo Galaxy Mallet putter shafted with Fire Express PT 135 shaft in Metallic Black. After trying a Geo Galaxy blade putter I wanted to try another in mallet style. I even went and shafted it up with the Fire Express putter shaft. Made with high quality Japanese 303, the heads are milled by Geo Galaxy themselves from scratch. Though I love how this putter rolls. This putter just adds one more thing to be confused about. So I decided to stick with the blade. Here's their website. http://geogalaxy.jp/ Unfortunately, only in Japanese. They are a custom order only putter manufacturer. A couple of wins in Japan tour. This mallet in particular looks almost exactly like a Scotty Red X5. So nothing original in terms of shape. However, the face milling is quite deep and the feel at impact is exquisite due to the high grade JIS 303 they use. Apparently, they sell these for over $1200 custom ordered new. Head weight is around 355g and curently 34.5" long Brand new Fire Express PT 130 and brand new Winn Pro X 1.18 grip installed. Please contact me if you have questions.
