  1. thanks for the responses everyone, I am definitely looking for an all around fw, both off the tee and off the deck/fairway, i have no problem getting the ball up of the grass.

    in terms of quality they both seem top notch, i am more concerned with optics, as i like a little pear shape as opposed to a round disk like the ryoma, previously played a 304p by rc.

    between the baldo and the kamui custom is either one going to be of better build quality than they other? i know they are both on the $$$ side, so price doesnt really factor in, more so all around general playability and head shap, optics, etc.

  2. hello,

    managed to get myself a brand new set of tourstage 905 mb's. I am tired of just using dynamic gold tour issue X100, and figured I would try something from the japanese manufacturers.

    what are the main differences between these two? and those who have hit both what are your thoughts? the K's tour seem to be for japan and the tour with red label are for north america/europe?

    thank you.

  3. I see the flamma is getting some talk and some action, but does anyone have any insight on the other offerings?

    I personally after some translation am looking at the Z; more specifically the PRO SPEC Z in X flex, am I correct to say this is both tip stiff and butt stiff?

    I recently picked up a brand new tourstage p02-6; and am having troubles with shaft selection, I was going to go GD BB 7X; then was going to try a new diamana X 70X?

  4. I honestly can't provide much input on this particular club. I did see it in person a few times and loved the shape. It's pretty much got the same tech as the other newer model XD's made by endo with that VL Ti face etc..

    just my 2 cents but I wouldn't even suggest this for a +2 handicap player. Only someone pro level or who has an intense desire to work the ball drastically. The smallest swing flaws will be magnified with a driver like this.

    We sold a few and no one could handle it for a long period of time.

    thats definitely some good info, I am still playing a titleist 983E head from the pga tour with a fujikura 771TA x-flex fully insterted, so this p02-6 would be a 15cc increase, I think I am going to give one a go, maybe still a newer technology shaft in it, like the new graphite design bb series, or one of those new diamana x.

    but again mr. TSG thanks for all the input.

  5. spoon, yours are the 2005 x-wedge maru's, the last year they were made, the satin ones idrive posted are the exact same wedges you have except the black finish was stripped and a satin tour chrome finish was applied. they were only sold one way, the way you have them, what people did in terms of stripping the finish and tour chrome, chroming, sating crhoming them are totally aftermarket, they were never ever released this way from bridgestone. and for the 99.9% Fe, its just that these heads were made of 99.9% pure carbon for the best feeling and softness you could get!

    and yes going back the 06 x-wedges were the ai miyazato spec version, i think a 52 and a 58 were her's. nothing to do with the maru's,

    maruyama had special editions released in 2002 with maru stamped on the sole

    2003 were the first "us spec" version released

    2004 were identical to 2003, except made from 99.9% FE (and slight variation on stamping)

    2005 were the x-wedge version

    2006 were x-wedge ai spec

    I have in hand pics of all of these and will get them up sometime this weekend!

  6. The 2004 version, are still my favorite of all the maru's; same head shape as the '03's, but the 2004 version were made with 99.9% pure Fe, the 2005 x-wedge maru's above were also made of the same 99.9% pure Fe,

    gocchin, you mentioned the 2006 version, I thought the 2005 maru x-wedge was the last time these were released? the 2006 version, was based on ai miyazato's combination of wedges was it not?
