Help me choose a golf bag
If you want a very unique style the Frame Walker is rockin! I love the denim one. Other than that I would stick to Titleist sport or casual type caddy bag, although the stand bag is very nice too. The backpack style strap is very comfortable.

New Miura CB-1007 Irons 2012
Yes, It's very pure looking.. I actually have a set of the old TM300 irons and it is very similar in appearance. The simple design is actually fresh. It's good to see irons that are simple and pure without so much stuff going on.

Look what arrived today, RomaRo Pro irons
Very nice sticks. I'm so jealous. I'll be looking forward to hearing your feedback on feel compared to the other clubs. Also, that's interesting about using graphite on your irons, it is so much better for your joints. I remember Greg Norman used to play graphite shafts in his blades back in the day. He was also trying to make it easier on his wrist and shoulders. I will experiment with that myself this year and see how it goes. I don't have any joint problems for now, but very interested in how each club will feel with the graphite.

Crazy irons
The Crazy irons look very good! I love how the blade looks, it looks like a lot like classic, older model blades. The one thing I don't like is all the stamping, I prefer a very clean (almost plain) look on the back of the head. I bet they would be wonderful to hit. Good to see these, but I'm sticking to just drivers and shafts from Crazy.

2012 Egg Spoon Forged
I don't expect the new Egg Spoon to be that much more different than the older one. Excited about seeing what they bring though, I love how easy the Egg Spoon plays and that is hard to beat. I would be very impressed if they improve upon it. Waiting for a surprise! :) Since the VG3 is being commented on, I'll add something on that as well. As far as east of use the Egg kills it, but the VG3 was easier to shape shots when need.

Yururi Tour vs Raw wedges
The tour is very versatile and great for being creative around the greens ( great from sand too) The raw spins like crazy. The raw eats up golf balls like no other. If you have higher swing speeds the raw can spin way too much with full shots.

Basileus Shaft Images
Basileus has one of the prettiest finishes I've ever seen. The quality of the finish is amazing. It's so vivid and the colors blend very nicely.

Geotech RF700 Proto Iron
These irons may be the start to many average golfers playing a more compact and tour model looking head. The rf700 looks just like a blade at address but plays very forgiving. May be a new " hybrid" iron. The most amazing part is that the longer irons look like blades but gets up very easily.

ROMARO RAY H IRONS (MY REVIEW)
Great looking club. Love the smelly grips! Great review you got there, I love hoe the romaro irons look. Im looking forward to comparing all that romaro has to offer. All so pure! It seems like a great set for myself. I love clubs that are very workable and with that great feel... Ohhh. I might have to dump my current irons soon. :)

Please excuse my late introduction...
Yep. They been good to me, but I always feel bad for my clubs because I'm constantly searching for for out of my equipment. Lol The wedges are producing great spin around the greens for me.

Best Forged CB irons of 2011/2012
The 302 and yam tour models were and still are awesome. I am currently very into romaro clubs so it's a very tough choice. I'm going to wait a bit longer for an official vote. If I vote now, the Yamaha tour model will get my vote.

Best Forged CB irons of 2011/2012
What do you guys think is the best?I know a lot of these aren't even out yet, but would like to gather everyone's thoughts from speculations or personal play experience. Its so exciting with the new line of cb forged irons coming in 2012! I wonder if they can out do previous year models? Only time will tell.

Please excuse my late introduction...
Hi everyone! Im Tatsuro aka xerobound. I'm a TSG equipment tester and specialist and will be around the forums more often. Some of you may recognize me from videos and reviews on the gti blog. :) Here's a little bit about me. I was born in Japan and grew up splitting time between Japan, Hawaii and California. I've been playing golf since I can remember and have been in the golf industry since my first job as a teenager. I've been involved with various aspects of the golf industry and just love everything about the game. I especially enjoy seeing the difference of golf between the U.S. and Japan. As I started playing golf in Japan more often, I started to see that Japan offers so much more selection of quality golf equipment and ever since I hit my first JDM golf club I was hooked. I've been around US and JDM golf gear and thought I knew a lot about it untill I met Chris (tourspecgolfer) and gocchin (Tario). They surprised me with so much information that was new to me and I was intrigued. After spending alot of time with gocchin, I've learned so much more than I ever thought possible about Japanese golf gear. (with new and exciting info continuously coming in.) Golf is constantly on my mind and I'm glad to meet you all:) Feel free to drop me a line or two. Me and gocchin: Me at Hirakawa in Chiba taken by gocchin:

QUADRA FIRE EXPRESS MAX WBQ DRIVER SHAFT??? any info?
The Proto just plays a bit stiffer in the tip and has an extra wrap of carbon on the butt end. It's lower torque and produces very low trajectory. It was made for the Tour players with faster swing speeds with aggressive tempos. Overall it plays just like the original version for the faster swing players.
-
i guess it's official...i'm a jdm guy!
Great looking clubs! Congrats! Let us know how that set up plays for you. :)

Identify the wedges
Nice stuff! I'm curious about the feel and performance. Especially what kind of reaction you get around the greens.

Tourstage 2012 X-Blade 707 - First Impressions
Very pure club. One of the best overall clubs in combination of feel, distance, forgiveness and looks.

Bridgestone J40 430cc vs Vrazy435II
The crazy is great for low spin. I found the Bridgestone to be a bit higher launch with a softer feel. Not saying the crazy is a bad feel, it's more of a metallic crunch! Crazy tops the list for the 3 things you are looking for.

wedges need recommendation
Yururi wedges are great for full shots. They produce great spin and a crisp and consistent feel. No glare finish and very sharp and compact looks great for control.
-
RC TRC 15* and 2011 VG3 15*
The vg3 is much easier to get high trajectory. The Trc produces a lower penatrating flight that is great for windy days or finding tight fairways. I like how the vg3 allows me to effortlessly hit a high and soft landing shot from long iron distances. The vg3 is a bit hard to keep low.

Starting fresh and need a new setup.....
Romaro is great for driver and iron. Basileus shafts are great they have several different characteristics for a precise fitting to your needs. Egg or Royal collection fairway woods are great. Egg is easier to get up in the air, but hard to keep the trajectory down off the tee. Basileus has great fairway wood shafts that will match the driver shaft. Titleist vg3 utility is easy to hit. I love how it looks like a small wood. And wedges Forged vokeys all the way:)
-
Need recommendation for head and shaft combo!!!
The royal deco crazy with a crazy or Roma head is great for workability and feel. The royal deco has a light weight with great stability which is great for pro level players. Depending on shot preference the new basileus line is gaining popularity among skilled players. They offer very precise characteristics for what an individual is looking for.
