I've got the 14s as well, excellent irons but a bit big for a "tour model" imo but that's why I liked them.Expect more feedback, better look if you like compact, less offset and thinner everything. performance wise and this is a best guess lower trajectory, better off tight lies, more workable. I think the 15 PB is still smaller than the 14 CB, this is Yamaha Tour Model back to it's roots

Also take a look at the T388!

I actually like the feel of the 425, it's reminds me somewhat of the classic TourStage heads pre X-Drive. I would say the 425 has lower spin, straighter, more mute sounding. Zero has more spin, more hollow and soft, but to me much harder to hit. The CG in the 425 seems higher and more forward, expect a lower traj from the 425 and more run out head vs head. I would assume the Zero has a bit more carry.

PB Listing is up in the proshop, same deal here as with the CB. I'm torn between which one to go for myself now as the PB doesn't look much bigger than the CB. Interestingly NS Pro seems to be making OEM shafts like this RMX95 which looks to be similar to the Srixon Only NS980 DST which is basically a hair heavier at 98 grams than the NS950 and that weight was added to the butt section. The RMX95 has a very nice look to it, a darker steel with nice blue graphics.

Updated the OP to show a better angle of the Modart.

Very smart because you are right, Epon is not happy about this. I like the Dat55 face a lot.

How about Srixon? Pretty much only sold on Taobao and other online discount shops that also have fake gear available.

RAW heads purchased in Japan, Some Grinding done in Japan, Milling done in Korea. I consider them Fake Japanese/Korean Golf Clubs. But Black Arrow basically makes copys of multiple brands. S-Yard Bold Anyone? I think that pretty much sums everything up.

Posted the scoop which is a fine wedge for someone wanting more forgiveness, wider sole and better contact. I think RomaRo makes the most interesting selection of wedges in JDM land. If you can get past the looks of this one I highly suggest.

Gives it a little softer feel at impact which is a good option for the 5005 due to the cavity it feels more firm than say the 5003. I suggest it on all Miura irons.

Yes KBS and DG get lots of complaints from Japan. Crazy KBS Shafts are essentially the same, the cost goes up because they have to return the poorly made shafts back to TT, also spec everything from weight to frequency. I usually always get my KBS from Crazy for this reason.

Fake. The Modart is made fully by CNC, the other is made like a normal wedge with CNC milling on the back face.

FYI we can get the exact same thing done per custom request, would go well with personal 2's imo.

The Ray H is one of my favorite players CB's of the year. Here is the next size up of the MC:

A little Geese isn't all that bad:

For sure easier to hit than the Tataki's but not as all around gorgeous or as player. this is for a different type of player, consider this automatic while the Tataki is more precision. Will do shortly, these were in all such bad shape after passing them around I sent them to TSG Club Works for a revamp.

Thanks guys I appreciate it! I'm not sure, lots going on over there. I hope they return to roots although they just started a campaign turning the dog into a rasta character so we will see the direction. Main thing is the product still looks sleek. Interesting that's Kobayashi-san's pup and he hasn't been around for a long time. Players drivers are the hardest to design as it takes a bit more in design to lower spin effectively while keeping other characteristics performing.

"The One" it's a toss up on which one I like better. This putter already had the markings from back in the day. This is NiCr Satin Putter Finish, Translucent paint looks killer on this finish. I also had a copper under layer put on this putter making an already soft stick even softer. Have not hit it yet.

On the topic of tolerances, I know many of us play KBS, man it's pretty bad. But the tighter stuff goes to Japan because they complain a lot more. Then for the absolute tightest KBS I would buy from Crazy, I know they double check it all, toss anything not accurate and then put their sticker of approval on it.

Thanks everyone! Yesterday was a wild ride, Baby girl born at 8:03am! Everything went well 6lbs 15oz 19" long. She did not sleep at all just cried and cried, we didn't either! Today she is a lot less fussy. Getting to know her, have a feeling she's soon to be my biggest source of motivation. D, In only my 24 hours as a dad I think you summed up last nights experience: That is what I'm going through now :) thanks everyone! Baby Amalin aka TourSpecBaby!

Been blown away by the performance of just about every RomaRo product recently released from the 455LX, Ray H Forged, All three of the new wedges do a killer job for the player they are intended for. Last week I posted the SX-R, ultra forgiving players wedge. The Alcobaca series last year was just a very easy to use wedge and this year they released two versions the scoop and stream models. Today we are talking scoop. As you can see from the images these have been put through their paces, mostly sand and practice over the last 3-4 months and the conculusion of everyone who hit it was that they are super easy breezy Japanesey. They make incredible contact with the ground, the leading edge sits very flat which I've noticed of all three of their new models, feels good, but this wide sole just does well from everywhere especially nice turf, rough, and bunkers, some of the best this year no doubt. Some of it's flaws are when played from tight lies or near empty bunkers or hard packed dirt areas but other than that and it's offset they do the job. Sorry about the scratchy pics of the demo. I took pics while new and must have erased the SD card so I had to re shoot these recently. Made me realize when I drop the gear ego there are options out there that really help the game and in this case short game consistency on decent to better quality courses excelled. This is RomaRo's latest and most forgiving wedge, compared to the SX-R it just sit's better on the ground, doesn't rock back as much, is less workable, equal softness, more forgiving and wide.

I wouldn't say Shimada is the best out there, the best out would be the one that melds with your swing best, I mean the guys on Tour play a lot of DG and Rifle and those don't have much wow factory but they are tested and work. The people who have recieved the new Modus Tour 125 seem to be in awe of them so I would consider that the flavor of the month.
