I'm in bundang & gangnam.^^ Sent you PM.

Yup, clubs with SL S300 + pulled out original DG DST S200 shaft. 7 iron: 37.00", with original loft 32' Installing new shaft, I adjusted lie 1 degree flat, cuz original spec is little upright.

Hi all, I'm selling Srixon 745 iron (4-pw). Forged S20C from Endo, it features soft feeling, compact head with little offset, and good workability with some forgiveness. I purchased new one in Oct., and replaced the original DG DST S200 shaft with newly purchased DG SL S300. Never wrapped on the shaft, the labels are still in the plastic Played twice in the field, 5 hours in range, it is in mint condition except 6 and 8 iron. I had to made some shots in hardpan, those clubs got scratch on the sole. Golf pride tour velvet (standard, round) grips are also in good condition. It will ship from Korea (with original shafts), and I'm asking $750 net to me. 4~6 iron 7~pw 6 & 8 sole

I have been Tokyo April. I enjoyed trip thanks to Chris, Supo, and Craig. 1. I visited "Victoria Golf" and bought some stuff. Your friend can get there easily by google map or tripadvisor. Good place to shop various kind of JDM golf goods, though some expensive. 2. How about 'character' headcovers? If I buy JDM ball for my friend, I'll take "Tourstage" or "Honma".

H iron looks nice. It would be another candidate for me. Listed on their website, when available in Proshop?

Or, onoff forged #4 + 358CB set, maybe? I ordered those combo.

I got my set today. I just played at range, so it would be brief. - Set: 4 (OnOff Forged), 5-9&46* (CB358), all with Modus3 X stepped down - Look: Its size and offset are moderate. Comfortable at address. Top line looks a tad thick to me. Little glancing because there is no sand blast area in club face. - Feel: Softer than Miura, but quite solid feeling at impact than I expected. - Flight: Very easy to launch. I think it produces much spin. Good to make various shots except knock-down. - Forgiveness: Goodness! I use Modus for the first time, and it feels lighter and softer than ProjectX 6.0. I had troubles with timing and made some thin shots, but little loss in distance. - First impression: Very well balanced club. For me, need some time to adapt. I'll leave another review after playing in the field.

Wasn't it 'forged'? Onoff website, why are they saying it is 'casting'? http://onoff.globeride.co.jp/labo/labo-spec-club/cb-358.html

Thanks to Chris, Craig, and Supo, I could do pretty well in Tokyo. - Enjoyed foods very much. I tried some places Supo recommended (Keyakizaka, Panic, Nagasaka sarashina) and had Sushi in other places. - AS Chris said, Crazy Factory is located in Far Far Away Land. (I was in Minato, southern part of Tokyo.) But, I could buy some heads. - Visited second-hand golf shops near Shimbashi station. Big orange sign: Golf Paradise. And other shops nearby. - Craig, you were right. I was robbed in Victoria golf. I picked up some tiny things for gift, and should pay 33,000 yen. Thanks again.

As a big fan of Miura, should I wait for this custom option? OMG, CB358 is coming to me...

I tried DiamanaX 70X with CRZ435 10*, it didn't work well. In my experience, DiamanaX seems to make more spin and balooning compared to former setting (TJ-80 7.4). Diamana felt softer than TJ-80, while it was little bit heavier. Whenever I hit the ball hard, the ball rose up high though the line was very straight. To keep the ball low, I tried to swing with more relaxed tempo, and? The loss of distance. I think more stout feeling shaft would be helpful to you. How about TRPX X-line 65 SX or X, Crazy TJ80?

Dear Supo, Thanks for your kind advice and recommendations. Having great food is one of my priorities, besides shopping JDM clubs. I'll try Umaisushikan, Keyakizaka, and Azabu juban. I'll start at Shinbashi area first, since I'm staying near Odaiba. Can you tell me the direction from Shinbashi station (or exit no.)? Again, I heartily thank you.

C, it's great to hear from you. Great food in Tokyo, that's what I missed. Can you recommend some? (especially, Sushi, Tepan, and Noodle) Can you arrange an appointment for Crazy? Any other good suggestion for FW head? I'm sure BST is a good deal, but I need a place to hang out. I read Craig mentioned Shinbashi, I just need some details. (for example, direction from the station) Thanks.

Hi guys, I'll stay 4 days from tomorrow in Tokyo. But, it's quite a bad timing, because I heard that 'mighty' T will have a break this week. I don't want to bother him during vacation, and ask you guys to give me some advice. Maybe, Craig, Chris, and Supo can show me the way. Surely, I'll appreciate other members' help. - Can I visit Crazy Factory without any appointment? - Need to buy Mystery C-HT511 fw head. (not listed in TSG yet) Where can I get it? - To find some classy secondhand clubs and parts, Shinbashi or Okachimachi? Thanks in advance!

How about diamana x 70X?

2 rounds on Monday with D-013. Though I have not experienced a monster shot, occasionally in my 435+TJ80, I think it' not behind 435+TJ80 in average. By adding some weight (change grip and weight), I can get my preferred launch and tracjectory. Tried some draw and normal swing, very penerating and straight. Tried to make some cut shot, not ballooning and beautiful fade. I think it must be your 1st candidate, if you're going to buy a new driver. As I said, just contact Tario, he will send you "the one" for you.

I have played with two drivers this season: 435+TJ-80 7.4, and Mystery CF-460+Diamana X 70X. As some other members, 435 was my longest driver (275~280). Mystery played more straight yet 10~15 yds short. My D-013 was arrived yesterday, I hit about 50 balls at range. I would like to say every impressions are very personal. (I know there were some discussions of feeling, sound, and distance.^^) 1. Spec D-013, 10*, 1.0* open, X-line SX, 45.25", 314g, D2.5, 278 cpm 2. Appearance Easy to allign with target line, since the head has very straihgt face and crown. Actually, I don't like the driver with bulged face. And, I had a plan to repaint this driver into pure black color, but I could hardly recognize metelic color finish. This driver just looks great at address though it not traditional shape. 3. Feeling & Sound I prefer solid (or hard?) feeling to soft feeling. I think TRPX has also solid feeling, but less metalic and springy than 435. And...it has very unique sound: some metalic, but not so high, and little loud. I think some Callaway FT series had similar sound. Let's put aside with the factors, because I'm not so sensitive with these aspects. 4. Distance & Ball flight In short, distance of 435 and accuracy of Mystery! I understand how other TRPX users hit so many fairways. 435+TJ80 was long, but the ball usually curved at the end. Mystery Diamana 70X combo is a little bit stiff and heavy for me, but it brought me deadly straight ball. Perhaps I must test at course, today, I could make long driver with good line. I'm sure TRPX performs outstandingly. Trajectory was little high that I prefer. I think it is matter of weight, 10~15 grams lighter than my former drivers. I'll try to change grip and weights. 5. Forgiveness There were some shots at the toe, but the ball flied well. Definitely, some loss of distance, but not curved radically. (tolerable fade) 6. X-line Big thumps up! Firist, I can swing comfortably, as X-line is lighter than other shafts with similar flex. And, I can hit the ball hard, since the shaft have no unnecessary movement during swing. Very firm shaft, but not so stout like crazy CB-50. 7. T I knew this driver would work very well before it was delivered, because Tario recommended and set the spec for me. If you need new club, just let him know your distance, tempo, swing style, etc. You will get the right clubs. T, as always, you're the man!

Oh man Really looks good!

This is a review of Tario. 1. Kindness - 10/10 I wrote about 50 e-mails in ordering this driver. Am I crazy? But, it's quite expensive thing and it's my first time to use high modulus carbon shaft. And there too many good JDM driver in TSG. I couldn't make a decison between AF102 and CRZ435 even when I order. Same with the shaft. But, Tario always replied to me so nicely. 2. Knowledge/Specialty - 9.999/10 He recommend CRZ435 if I want to hit hard without worrying left side. And he suggested TJ80 7.4 if I hit normally 275 yds. I can swing the driver very fast, still hesitate to hit really hard. Yes, he didn't know I can hit 285~290 with CRZ435!!! 3. Luck - 10/10 In my country, I should pay tax over $200. In declaration to custom, there were some miscommunications between me, Tario, and the crazy factory. So, I worried about the penalty on a false declaration. But, as a result, I could receive the driver with NO tax. T reduced my expense, and I'll go back to proshop with those money. 4. Overall - You're the man! After hitting the driver, I learned a lesson. When you need a club, talk with Tario and trust him.

Thanks to fomrum members, especially T, I could order and get my new driver. "CRZ-435 (not 435 II) + TJ-80 7.4" - 10.0* (1.5" open), 324g, 45.25", D2.5, 265 cpm (Crazy guys informed the spec.) I know there are the members who know this driver better than me, e.g. Supo and lots of post about this driver. But, I want to share my impressions as a thank for all members help. I played with my older driver (Skitter IS450, same weight, DI-7X) for 2 years, and I sometimes felt that the driver is heavy and had to use my hands to swing hard. Since I hate the left-side, I always tried to drop my club inside of myself to not make a pull shot. When I have trouble with timing, the club lagged behind me and my bad shots were block and push. Yesterday, I hit about 50 balls in the range and played 9 holes today with CRZ-435. Just amazing!!! When I first unpack the package, I was surprised and afraid that the CPM number is lower than I expected. Tario said that it is a just number, and it would be 270+ on other machine. I agree. And, though it weighs 324g, but it doen't feel such heavy during swing. But, I can swing this CRZ-435 very easily and much faster. This head has very good looking, and is very square at address. The feeling and sound were not metalic at all. The sound is little thick, and the ball bounces out very fast from its face. I read that 435 is very low, but, in my occasion, the luanch was not so low. Maybe 10 loft and "low kick" shaft helped me to launch the ball. Absolutely, the trajectory was definitely penetrating with low spin. About TJ80, though I need some time to be familiar with this "active low kick" shaft, but I'm sure this is a great shaft. T wrote "The TJ-80 provides control......without worrying about timing." - Yes, it really works in that way. I think this low kick, with its elasticity, is very helpful to return my driver head in right position with square face. No lagging of the driver. With some exaggeration, "Start downswing, do nothing. Then the head will hit the ball." At the same time, this shaft is not whippy at all. It is very stable. The driver flies the ball very straight. I can pull the ball to the left, but straight to left. No hook. So with push. Straight to right. I think it tends to produce less side spin as well as back spin. I hope this review would be a help for someone looking for a new driver. This CRZ-435 is very classic model. But I want to remimd you that it is a great stuff. p.s. Tario, I normally hit 275 yds with old driver. I could hit 285~290 with this CRZ 435. Should I change to 7.7 or just hit hard with this 7.4? ^^

Thanks all. I shoud go to Epon if the distance gap between Epon and Crazy is within a club. And, I think AF-101 is better for me than AF-102, cuz it has more straight top looking than the other. Guys, how dou you think?

Guys, First, I asked Tario to recommend between crz 435 & 460, jbeam 425 & 440, and Baldo competizione. And, his choice was 435 + TJ-80. I just sent e-mail about AF-102. (I'm worrying that I'm in his spam list...) Again, thanks you Tario for yous many kind advices!!!

Thanks, supo67 for your reply. Actually, I mean original CRZ-435, not 435 II.

Hi, it's my first post. I was looking for a new driver in TSG a month ago. I sent so many e-mail to Tario, and he gave good advices nicely. After Tario's recommendation, I was ready to order, but I started to read many post in this forum for more information. Then, I am going crazy..... I can't pick one among many nice heads and shafts! I'm a aggressive player, gaming with Lapacho golf IS450 with DI-7X. (326g, 275cpm, strong D2.5) And if I play 14 holes with my driver (I enjoy 13.5 strong wood), mostly I hit to 270~275 yds. I hit 2~3 to 255~65 with some push slice, and hit 2~3 to 285~95 with right swing sequence. Finally, I narrowed into 2 candidates: CRZ435+TJ80/CB80II and AF102+FEX prototype 75 I need a driver to hit hard with solid feeling, and never hook face. Which one do I have to pick? I don't want to bother Tario with my driver any more, so I'm posting here. ^^; Please............. somebody help me!!!
