  1. haha ok how about under 1k ideas? So far I'm thinking: under tree: Spa day in vegas fancy robe SK-II box set tiffany necklace stocking: replenish her face gunk ( cosmetics & makeup ) favorite candies
  2. Not yet but the Gloire F driver is pretty awesome, every customer who got one and myself included like it a lot. It's got good distance yet it's also very straight and easy to control and I've still got the stock shaft in mine. We can also include a very nice adapter with it as well.

    drop me an email [email protected], I will do my best to help! Hopefully this was originally purchased from TSG...
  4. Iowa coming soon! 2038.. jk I gotta role this out in parts or it gets very confusing. Doing our best sir!
  5. We are helping them come to the states so part of that plan is not to offer it publicly at the moment, we can get it no problem at all for those that inquire. They are actually Kyoei heads that are ground by FG staff.
  6. Can someone translate this into Australian for me? Finally some good news for our AU members! The TSG demo program has been in progress and is for loyal members who have hit many JDM clubs. The goal is to gather more opinions, reviews, and share member thoughts on new clubs in the forum. So far It's doing pretty well in California, the participants seem to enjoy it, doesn't cost anything but shipping to the next guy nearby. For Australia TSG will cover the big leap over the pond to you and back when all members have had their chance. email me [email protected] if you are interested in participating and from AU, have a decent post count and have knowledge of JDM clubs
  7. Is anyone getting creative or fancy this year? Need ideas fellas, If it was up to me it would be new wheels on her car but I doubt that will go over well with her...
  8. Early Prototype pics I took back in Feb of this year, retail version will look nothing like this.
  9. This is recent Ian, even in this condition this guy will get millions and so will the buyer when they restore it and sell it.
  10. My experience with 47" + shafts has positive results as well. for some swings with the longer and often softer shaft it helps square the club face at impact best for smoother swings or players with faster swings who feel they need to slow it down with a longer shaft. I've also noticed that body type has a lot to do with people liking it or not.
  11. Roddio upgrade shafts are available on this one at a good price: http://www.tourspecgolf.com/fourteen-2014-gelongd-ct315-driver
  12. From Car & Driver: Fewer than 60 Ferrari 250GT SWB California Spyders were ever built, making the model one of the most prized and pricey classic cars in the world. The lineage of each surviving example is as obsessively researched as the bloodline of a world-class race horse. Which is why the discovery of a previously unknown California Spyder among a secret French collection of 100 classic cars has the automotive world in an uproar. Talk about a barn find. The jaw-dropping Ferrari is just one of 100 cars in the Baillon Collection, hoarded away by shipping magnate Roger Baillon throughout the 1950s and ’60s. Baillon’s dream was to preserve the finest prewar automobiles for display in a museum, and by the late 1960s he’d amassed a collection of 200 cars. The collection featured names like Bugatti, Hispano-Suiza, Talbot-Lago, Panhard-Levassor, Delahaye, and Delage, along with achingly beautiful coachbuilt one-offs and more modern vehicles from Ferrari, Maserati, and Porsche. Unfortunately, Baillon was never able to build his dream museum. Hard times befell his company, forcing him to sell off a number of the vehicles he’d gathered. The rest were left to languish under ramshackle corrugated tin roofs, strewn about a property in western France to succumb to rust and dereliction. Thankfully, the California Spyder was stored somewhat more permanently inside a brick garage—and next to a 1956 Maserati A6G Gran Sport Frua, one of just three ever built. Inexplicably, as the market for world-class vintage cars skyrocketed, the collection went entirely unnoticed for decades. It was just three months ago that Pierre Novikoff and Matthieu Lamoure of the auction house Artcurial came across the massive barn find. “When they mentioned a Ferrari California SWB I thought it was a joke,” Novikoff told The Telegraph. The auctioneers examined the full collection and determined that 60 of the cars are solid enough to sell at auction. The remaining 40 will likely be sold for parts by the family. In a press release announcing the Artcurial auction, Lamoure compared the discovery of the Baillon collection to the moment when Lord Carrington and Howard Carter entered Tutankhamun’s tomb. “Never again, anywhere in the world, will such a treasure be unearthed,” Novikoff adds. The total collection is estimated to be worth up to €15 million, or just over $18 million. Expect a huge portion of that to come from the sale of the Ferrari California Spyder, a model which regularly fetches $10–$15 million. The auction takes place on February 6, 2015. If your accountant won’t be able to wire the money from your Swiss bank account by then, perhaps this gorgeously crafted video tour of the collection in as-discovered condition will slake your thirst.

  14. It's better than finding a treasure chest of gold! The most valuable car in the collection is a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider, but there is also a 1956 Maserati A6G Gran Sport Frua and a Bugatti Type 57 Ventoux of unspecified year, but it would be sometime in the late 30s Gonna cost some serious coin to refurb these so I think the family will auction it off as is. 60 cars in total found.
  15. Yes excellent club made at Endo with good feel, decent distance, nice shape and size. Maxima is a bomber no doubt if your swing and shaft combo are properly selected.
  16. Last year TSG visited Mitsubishi Japan at the Tokyo Golf Fair and saw several prototypes labelled FRANKI they were extremely light weight as in less than 25 grams!!! Just this week Mitsubishi Japan is showing off it's official creation the OT Iron Shaft by FRANKI. Who is Franki? I have no clue but this shaft has peaked our interest as it is a major departure in how carbon shafts are made. Mitsubishi's goal was to create an affordable and highly capable iron shaft that has the soft feel of carbon yet the tight trajectory and stability of a steel shaft. If you haven't noticed Carbon Shafts have made huge leaps in terms of performance, feel and they rival the best steel shafts yet there is no widespread adoption of Carbon in irons and one of the biggest reasons is due to price. Often for high end carbon shaft's they cost more and in some cases much more than a steel shaft Those of you who have tried the Roddio I-10's or Fujikura MCI shafts know what sort of advantages carbon has. Mitsubishi want's to bring high modulus and higher tonnage materials to the masses with this shaft and the new OT Iron shaft comes in at an MSRP of under $100 dollars per shaft and they are hoping this get's players to give it a try and once they do Mitsubishi is confident it will stick. The OT Iron shaft is available in 2 weights 85g and 95g, Torque 3.0 mid kick. Do keep in mind that when using higher modulus carbon torque plays less of an effect because the heavier pressed tonnage carbon reduces shaft deformation extremely fast and in some cases even faster than steel. The Above graphic sheds some light on why these shaft's look to be a serious advancement in carbon shaft design. Normal carbon shafts are produced by rolling prepreg sheets and these sheets have been impregnated with resins by arranging the carbon fibers in a cylindrical shape. The OT iron shaft was made a bit differently by imersion of the resin into a bundle of carbon fibers "bundled" is the key here, then it's braided " braided", this is not normal people in a very good way and it means stability while keeping feel. The image showing shot dispersion is of the OT iron vs a popular light weight steel shaft in Japan, can we assume this is the NS950? Whatever it is this is a swing robot using the same #5 iron head at 39 ms and the latest Trackman then Mitsubishi took the average landing of 5 strokes on each club. To sum this all up they are saying the Braid and technology of the OT iron shaft feels better and is more accurate than steel. This shaft will be released Feb/16th in Japan.

    Thanks Eca, it was a pleasure working with you. For any of our regular posters will get a good discount any day. Because we have such a wide exposure, we have to visually list particular prices yet and at the same time satisfy our customers so always email with your forum name when seeking prices.
  18. Fourteen claims this 47.75" Shaft = 9mph or 3mph faster club head speed for a "real" distance gain. What say you?
  19. It's gotta be JDM, it's gotta be from 2014. Let's hear what your favorite drivers are/were. For myself: MA01S by Modart Glorious by Jbeam Gloire F by TM
  20. 5005's are one of the most stunning irons of the year imo. They feel on the firm side compared to other Miura blades. Black Oxide is an option from the factory. You don't want copper it will wear quickly and just doesn't look pretty. Leading edge grind option is a good choice.
  21. Himeji Forged S25C Raw grain + black coating with legal grooves. These and the Tataki are outstanding, the conforming gekku spins a lot hard to tell how much less than non conforming it's that close.
  22. Included in the refinish is light scratch and light ding removal and on top of that copper fills in some then the finish does as well. We would have to charge a cost per head to hand polish out deeper dings or scratches but our concern would be loss of weight but then copper does add a touch back to the head weight for you.
  23. This is basically a head we polished by hand then put in a different type of copper under layer then a soft black finish applied over that so in the end it wears exactly like the soft black finish at many angles looks identical to it although at other angles has a purple hue as this particular copper has a reaction with the soft black finish that does that. So same wear to answer your question. No this is actually the stock grind but this finish just brings out how awesome it is standard. Yes sir most clubs, not exactly sure on pricing but about 100 per head because there is 3 steps vs 1 when we do a normal refinish. One thing I will add is it's avery smooth and flawless looking finish.
  24. This finish is indeed far more durable than copper or gloss black.
