Chris on House Hunter show
TourSpecGolfer replied to swisstrader's post in a topic in Out of Bounds: Lifestyle, Luxury, Autos, Hobbies, High Tech GearHow embarrassing! not what I expected, 45 hours of shooting for 7 min of talking they pretty much spun it exactly how I didn't want it to be, show is rigged we closed on the home 2 weeks before we started shooting the episode and the price wasn't even right... :(

the Best Irons I've ever Gamed Period...2014 Titleist VG3
I think the RomaRo Type R are a close second to the VG3's, a very close second. ONOFF Kuro VG3 Type-R All three of those are safe JDM bet's.

Baldo Nud driver?
I actually have all the entire current Baldo line up here, gotta take pics. I must say the quality has improved a lot, the Brassy and the new 8C Craft's are really nice in person.

Modart MA01DS Driver? Prototype or Coming?
Set to release at the golf show expect 2 new drivers. - 435cc similar to MA01D - 460cc similar to MA01S Adjustable for sure, was talking with Suda-san and he says expect improved performance which I have a hard time imagining as my MA01S is only getting better in time. I'll share the story again: I bought the D & S and tested them side by side against a whole slew of drivers, Very close in performance but went with the S even though the D looks better from address, I went S because out of say 20 shots a small handful had better results due to more forgiveness. Off the start I thought they were just as long as the 455LX and just a touch shorter than the Egg1. Yes I'm a big big big fan of the Egg1 7.5!! But after time with the MA01S and dialing it in I was able to gain courage and begin going after it and it's loooong! had a small shoulder injury so I slapped in a 47" Touale ( yes 47"! ) and swing 85% and it's the longest driver I have ever owned and by doing this went from a fade player to a baby draw player due to shaft choice & spec & swing adjustments. I can hook it if I go 90-95% but I have had enough time with it to know it's not necessary as Its point and shoot at already 80%. Feel of course is sublime on the Modart Woods.

the Best Irons I've ever Gamed Period...2014 Titleist VG3
This makes me happy! VG3's are a no brainer and I'm always confident in suggesting them to anyone who requests more forgiveness, soft feel, more distance and minimal offset. A few of my blade and players CB guys try them and never look back.

Went a different direction - Thinking of getting a combo set of Miura Giken 5005 & 5003
Good choice the CB358 is a stud! You have plenty of gear going on so please let us know your thoughts on it all.

I only consider combo if the brand will grind the top line, sole, and do their best to match anything they can between the two sets including loft and lie.

Modart MA01DS Driver? Prototype or Coming?
Bingo! nice find! Yes that is their next driver and yes it is adjustable. It will have a different shape but the thing is it's all so early, this and another proto are in the works but I think announcement won't be until Feb :(

Honma TW-727 Series Coming Janurary
I'm excited to see what the TW727 irons look like. I agree the TW Honma drivers are no slouch, especially the 455. Another driver that is simply great is the 2014 Mizuno Craft! Both Endo clubs.

RomaRo Alcobaca Stream Wedge
I totally agree, your Alcobaca's are stunning but these like the scoop serve a different need. What this Stream has is a wide sole toward the heel and toe with a thin sole center hence the S shaped arch. RomaRo says this makes the bounce more useful in more areas essentially giving you a wedge great in the sand but also equally as good in approach shots.

Quadra Fire Express 2014 Prototype Ver.1 Announced!
Based on what I know it should feel similar (not boardy, alive with kick ) to the TP-V. It's designed to be more stable than the TP-V for aggressive/fast swingers who want to play a shorter length where as the Quadra TP-V is still for faster swingers just not as fast and fine with slightly longer lengths. Hope that helps.

Quadra Fire Express 2014 Prototype Ver.1 Announced!
Even golfers who produce fast head speeds still want to increase their distance as well as improve their ball control. However, Some Athlete players are sensitive to shaft movement and deformation as well as club head behavior upon addressing the ball, take away, and the downsswing into impact and this seems to be the reason why there are many faster swingers who use overly heavy hard and stiff shafts over others to focus more on control of direction and dispersion. The Quadra 2014 Fire Express Proto Type Ver.1 Shaft shaft has the capability of meeting the demands of these stronger faster swingers. On top of that, it focuses on providing good overall feel with capability to increase distance and control with a suggested driver length of (45 inches) which is often used and preferred by athlete golfers. For the stronger swinger this shaft is considered on the lighter side but by effectively dividing the weight evenly within the shafts center, it's lighter weight performs as tight as heavier shafts. On top of the Quadra technology implementation throughout the shaft, it provides higher accuracy by adding more Quadra sheets to the butt end of the handle and still provides smooth feel throughout the swing and is able to stabilize the shaft to improves control. The Quadra 2014 Fire Express Proto Type Ver.1 Shaft also helps to avoid the wild or pop-up hits for players with fast head speeds, the amount of spin is decreased and lowered. There is a new flex system based on how many sheets of Quadra's High Modulus & Nanoalloy Technology that determines the CPM's. For example F1-F4 has different layers while F0 has three times the Quadra layers as F4. (see chart for CPM's)

Modart Suda Grind MB's are Coming!
There is no CNC on the Suda Grinds, it's straight up hand made old school by hand by the man. The CBC, A60G, A55G irons all are CNC'd from a block of S25C.
-
Modart Suda Grind MB's are Coming!
Yes they are not "forged" they are from the block, it's a very interesting feel.

Sold. Thanks TSG. Thanks Tim.
Someone get these send these to TSG Club Works and we can reshaft and put in black boron "KURO"

Modart Suda Grind MB's are Coming!
None of Modarts irons or wedges are made of SUS, the ones you are talking about are CNC'd S25C. But the Suda Grind Wedges are not CNC"d they are like most other wedges, forged/hand grind These MB's will be the same, each one done by Suda-san himself. We are still negotiating FP #'s based on the raw head and also stamping config, I personally would like to see just the SD logo on toe and the By Modart only on the neck.
-
Modart Suda Grind MB's are Coming!
Been pushing hard for over 6 months, hurry Suda-san make them blades! I appreciate and respect how conservative they are about performance, do expect the MB's to have the same quality, grind skill, fit and finish as the Suda Wedges which are absolutely outstanding imo. Sample irons are being produced now and are 4-6 weeks out. There will be a first edition 5 set run because that's what TSG has committed to in the first month. email [email protected] to reserve a set.

2015 ONOFF Forged KURO Irons
Mine just arrived last week as well, Modus Tour 125. Will shoot pics this week and post, visually they are the best version of the ONOFF Forged imo. Will know how they strike shortly.

help me build my bag
Much depends on your budget and what you want. I ask because you are coming from Ping and considering Geotechs. Do you mean you average 4 under par or 4 over par? You said "+" I think the new 2015 Yamaha Tour Model CB and Wedges are a good choice for that level. Modart Driver or FW, TS358 FW, Royal Collection 306V FW all worthy considerations. Your game is super solid and you worked hard for years to get there, you deserve some top notch gear and really JDM doesn't have to be all that expensive.
