I read somewhere that the blue Regio mimics the Modus 120 the red Regio M is like the Modus 130 and the new MB is the Modus 125 from an overall shaft profile/concept perspective. I do hope it’s not too high launching with the active tip. I got the 65S for a driver and 75S for a 3 wood. a bit lighter than my usual selections but i am hoping the better material will create more stability with the lighter models. Can't wait to try them out!

Just ordered a couple of these MB shafts. Hope to compare it against AAA.

Good to have you back!

Totally reuse it! Especially if the shaft was working well for you!

Just on a side note, I use Sun Mountain stand bags. Nothing spectacular. but for us Montanans, it's a local company! Not many people know they are a Montana based company. I am sure they now make these bags mostly overseas nowadays. I would say 80% of golfers here in Bozeman use Sun Mountain bags and push carts.

The foaming of the head got the P-Tune to weigh about 206g ... the 45.75" length with the AAA was a bit much from a swing weight perspective. I can get a lighter weight screw and get the weight down to 201g ... but I actually am waiting for a release of another head supposedly coming out later this month. I was thinking of saving the AAA for that. A shaft this good needs to be paired with a premium head, right?! ( just trying to justify my next purchase ...!! :) ) It's not the new Epon Zero Kai BTW... The P-Tune in its current weight seems to be a great match with the Waccine GR77 so I'm gonna keep this as is for now.

I hear you Stu-san!! :) My shafts are probably a bit flexier than what you are used to but you could probably play them as they are all on the heavier side. Honestly I've picked up a lot of my JDM knowledge thru your write ups. Thus the similar set ups. I just paired the Stinger with the 153 head and appreciating once again what a great shaft it is. Compared to the Waccine GR77 I had in it before, I think I gained 10 to 15 yards with the Stinger. and the lively elastic feel is just so unique in a good way! Waccine 77 is still a great control shaft for me. Just not as long like the stinger.

Thanks Ash! Yes, very hard to decide which bag of clubs to use. Today I had some extra time on the range with the P-Tune driver and realized how great a control driver it is. In addition, I am finding out the P-tune fairway paired with the Crazy FW50 Sigma is a serious distance monster. Not entirely sure if its the head or shaft.... but the thing goes! I am waiting for the copper to patina so I can actually take them out on sunny days. still a bit too much glare under the sun!!

Thanks Craig! Hoping not to tinker too much but I've said that every single year! So who knows what I'll have in the bag next week....or even tomorrow! LOL

Not sure which set I should be calling "gamer" for this season .. But I got two full bags set up with slightly different taste. I'll play both for the time being but may consolidate into one bag middle of the season. Bag 1. 1W : P-Tune PG-414 9.5* / Waccine GR-77 S 3W: P-Tune PGFW V2 16* / Crazy FW50 Sigma 7.4 3UT: Mizuno MP-H5 21* / Crazy CB-80I 4-PW: Tourstage X-Blade 709 Limited / DG Pro S300 GW, SW: Tourstage X-Wedge / Shimada Tour Black P: Ping Redwood Piper S Bag 2. 1W: Epon AF-153 9.5* / Diamana Stinger 70 S 3W: AF-202HT 15* / Diamana Al'Islei 83 S 3UT: AF-902 21* / Diamana Thump t465 S 4-PW: Mizuno MP-62 / 1150GH Tour S GW, SW: Titleist Vokey 10th Aninversary / WV115 P: Kitada KP-2F SM490A / NS Pro Heavy

Is the color more of a gold or more of a yellow? Hard to tell from pics on the web. Please post your review once you have it paired up with a head!

Great review! and Congrats on finding a great match to your swing! For me the journey continues :) Why do I keep thinking "there's gotta be something better out there" cuz I am sick.. that's why... sick sick sick....

> cheapest premium shaft I likey those words!! :) Please provide a review when available.

So this new shaft from Nippon uses full length 7 axis material and 80T sheet AND upper half of the shaft uses 90T sheet AND at the tip section it has Toray 1100G to help give it some kick! WOW!! Looks excellent on paper at least! :) What's more shocking is that the price point of these shafts are really consumer friendly! Other companies are charging more than double this. How do they do it? I definitely need to give this a whirl !! Would love to get any feedback if anyone has tried this already.

おもろい！！（ funny!）　Perfect for my list of Oyaji Gags!! 　 　　

All gone! Thanks!

GA00H Star Inf is sold Tour is pending!! Thanks, Nob

I actually did get the 3w foamed. I just really wanted heavier weight on that. Was not a problem with sound. But thanks to the foam, the 3w is also a bit quieter. Crazy FW50 Sigma is working great in that head!

Compared to the 313 I think this head is quite a bit more forgiving. I would put it in the same league as Epon AF-153. Distance wise, I do feel 414 is hotter than the 313. Maybe it just feels hotter due to the 8-1-1 Ti they use on the face which is the same Ti used for Ping G25 or Titleist 915 drivers. I don't have numbers unfortunately. I will warn you that you should really think about foaming or hot melting it from a sound perspective. The raw sound to me was as loud as a Nike Sumo ( remember those ? ) The 313 sound was not bad at all. 414 is really loud without the foam. Feel at impact is softer than the 313 after I got the 414 foamed. I ordered a 10.5 loft at neutral setting and the ball flies more like a 9.5 with the AAA shaft. I normally play 9 or 9.5 deg with other drivers and this one does not go any higher.

Have not confirmed this, but based on what I have read up, I suspect these putters are from the era when Sasaya-san worked at Gauge. Both JIS 303 stainless steel , head weight probably on the lighter side from today's standards. ( 330 to 340 maybe.... ) They would both make a great base for Gold's Factory modifications. Selling them for cheap! - Gauge Design GA00H Star INF 34" $SOLD net shipped within CONUS NO headcover many small dings all over but nothing major. - Gauge Design Tour ( Tungsten weight in the face like Gold's ) $SOLD net shipped within CONUS Will include Gold's Factory kimono head cover Couple of small dings but overall pretty clean. Thanks!!

Good range session today even though it was below 50 deg and close to 35 deg when Ieft!! Burrrrrr.... So a word on the AAA shaft. This thing is silky smooth but stable as heck at the same time. Feel is so refined! No glassy feel common with some previous generation 80T shafts. Loading and unloading of the shaft feels so precise and consistent on every swing! PG414 foamed head now sound more or less like a wooden bat with a nice !! CRAAAACCK !! sound at impact. 1000% times better than stock! This combo is looooong and forgiving! No numbers yet but ball is coming off the face really hot! No need for G30 anymore. it's going to the Bay.

Sometimes I wonder if I like the building part or the playing part more. Same thing with my previous hobbies tinkering with Motorcycles, Bicycles and Headphones. Tinkering with golf equipment has lasted longest :) Does not require a ton of skill but as Robbie mentioned, being careful and a bit of investment for the right tool is really all you need.

OK got my P tune heads back. That was really quick! less than two weeks from sending them to Japan and back to Montana. Thanks again to Chris for arranging this. Have not taken it out to hit it yet, but bounced balls on the face a bit in the house and sound has been muted much from before!! Might have to send in my G30 head as well... Looking forward to taking it out to the range tomorrow after work. Will be focusing on how the AAA performs.

My current gamer. Last of the Tourstage breed and it's a limited edition!! Endo forged S20C 3,4,5, are 709CB 6,7,8 are 709MC and 9, PW are 909MB I am honestly thinking about getting a second set as a back up. All the forgiveness you need where you need it most. The Black Nickel finish does wear off pretty easily on the sole and face. I believe the stock shafts are Modus 120, I got it used as heads only and have it shafted with DG Pro S300. Sets with 3 and 4 irons are getting harder to find since they were optional. I really like these irons!!

> god li love building drivers! Me too!! I wish they came up with a 210g version of the Egg One. I would buy it right away! For now a 215g G30 is going to have to do. Sounds horrible at impact but it gets the job done.
