  1. The ones in the photos on this thread would definitely sell to The Thing (Fantastic Four).
  2. and I echo previous post asking how does that unique sole grind affect the performance ?
  3. These are indeed very interesting and should prove a welcome addition to the TSG shop. Like to read more reviews from anyone who has tried them.
  4. dickyfowler replied to Henry's post in a topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
    I would be confident there is no difference having played lots of their clubs bought from both countries in the past couple of years. And I read this week the following article ++++ What do you get when you realign your business model, introduce some hot, new, critically acclaimed products and then proceed to go backwards in sales? You get a new CEO, that’s what. 2015 was not a great year for Srixon/Cleveland golf in the U.S., as sales dropped 0.9% from 2014. That may not sound like a lot, but Dunlop Sports Co. LTD (a subsidiary of Japan's Sumitomo Rubber Industries - the SRI in Srixon - and the parent company of Srixon, Cleveland and XXIO) says in its annual report the overall golf market in North America actually grew last year. So not only did Cleveland/Srixon not get its share of that growth, it actually lost ground. That’s kind of hard to do, especially after hitting the streets with a full line of new and universally praised irons, woods and balls. Apparently the Journey to Better took a detour. Enter Matt Yasumoto, the new president and CEO of Srixon/Cleveland/XXIO – USA. His assignment seems straightforward: reestablish, reinvigorate and revitalize the Srixon and Cleveland brands in North America, while maintaining growth in the premium XXIO line.
  5. these sound like they would be really good-feeling irons. Wonder how the feel might compare to say the limited edition Honma BM or even the softest Yamaha blade or others that people rave about.....
  6. like the look of this. Tried my friend's ZY-11 and did not like its low ball flight. Might have been the shaft causing this of course, but in general I dont like deep faces which it had. This one is more appealing to me.
  7. i luv em but you gotta be silly to call em BM instead of MB which we all know stands for muscle back.
  8. I game the Ryoma mentioned and find it pretty good and would recommend. And other people I have spoken to who have the GIII drivers say they are really good and long - might have to get one myself when I can afford it.
  9. look sweet. wondering why they tag Muscle Back irons with BM ? I'd think MB might be a tad more accurate.
  10. could be a smart marketing move given it may entice people to give them a try but have to agree with those who are scratching their heads about such a move from possibly the most elite golf product company we've come across. Have not seen Ferrari offering "buy 1 and get half off another" Still, must be good for 7D to get more of their product out there and as a consumer we should not complain too much about discounts.
  11. 14-15-18 is an odd spread of lofts. must be counting on people buying EITHER the 14 or 15...and then an 18 fits in OK.
  12. I was just wondering. Now we know.
  13. you would have to own something like the PXG company to spend this sort of money on iron shafts.
  14. how soft they feel - the Buchi's ???
  15. Found a source and the carbon-hatch version releases officially on April 9.
  16. mystery suggestion there ?
  17. just had a friend email me from USA asking where they can buy? Anyone have an idea?
  18. just looked up roddio website and M is lighter.
  19. can someone actually tell us what the difference is between M and S ? Is it just that one is shallower faced ?
  20. Love the feel of the carbon drivers - callaway had some and now the M1/M2. And these Roddio's look really good. We need more info on them even though not available through TSG.
  21. they do look good - I tried their utility clubs but found them too hard to keep away from the right. Finding ONOFF much easier.
  22. Bezzinga - for all the Sheldon fans
  23. if you tried these -- did you prefer them over the Bezeal ? I assume Bezeal is closer to the iron designed for you than Beres?
