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.

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.

Yes it is.

Roddio upgrade shafts are available on this one at a good price: http://www.tourspecgolf.com/fourteen-2014-gelongd-ct315-driver

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fourteen claims this 47.75" Shaft = 9mph or 3mph faster club head speed for a "real" distance gain. What say you?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

This finish is indeed far more durable than copper or gloss black.

We sprinkled fairy dust on this one...

This will work out guys, I believe Epon freak to be a stand up guy from what I remember and I do recall him mentioning his injury in a BST post. Mistakes do happen, hopefully he learns to inspect the club a bit better next time to avoid this.

Ah sorry maybe there is some confusion here, when I say 125 I mean Modus3 Tour 125. Robbie, interested in hearing your thoughts on those when you hit them.

I wouldn't say like, I would say of the NSPRO line up it's the lower more stable faster swinger shaft. If you are a C-Taper player I would only suggest the 125. If you are a normal swinger 120 ( this shaft fits a wide range of player ) If you like heavy yet a higher softer landing drop angle then the 130.

I've never tried the parallel but it should be identical. takes very sensitive feel to notice a change in stuff like that, I would say 1% of golfers if they really focused could sense the slightest but not enough to change anything. This is NSpro's C-taper imo yet very different at the same time. Modus 130 is shorter in distance and starts off with a higher trajectory, not bad for wedges if you want to land soft but also not good if you need absolute accuracy.

Tuff call on that, I love both so much, I'd say Tataki more precise, better for tighter lie, smaller, more appealing shape but that takes nothing away from the ONOFF, those are slightly more forgiving, a touch softer and equal in spin. Hope that helps.

The above pictures are of my old set, They were actually refinished that was not the standard finish. Ended up selling it for 2k heads only in 2005. T-500's and those did also come in a cherry wood box with plaque signed by Tiger. BTW the scotty set is not mine.
