Titleist Limited 100MB - Very Rare - Only 1 Set@TSG
Not made by Endo but made in Japan S25C. The shape is extremely different than anything I've seen from Titleist. I don't have these in hand and there is no info from the Titleist Japan Reps, had to fight for this set.

2015 ONOFF Forged KURO Irons
In 3 days they Ship! We are expecting the first run to go quick with the second run arriving in mid-late october. the New ONOFF 2015 Forged Kuro "Black" Irons. Designed for the low to mid handicap player seeking soft feel and forgiveness in a semi players profile. While it appears similar to previous versions there have been enhancements made to the design and functionality creating the best version of the ONOFF Forged iron to date. ONOFF claims it "exceeds all previous ONOFF Forged irons in performance" Forged by Endo of Soft S20C the 3 thru 7 irons feature tungsten allow weights positioned in the sole for extra forgiveness and ease of use while the scoring irons 8 thru PW are sold 1 piece forgings to promote accuracy. What makes the new 2015 ONOFF Kuro irons have better performance than it's preddecessors is it's re designed and progressive optimal center of gravity which provides improved accuracy and performance by giving you tighter shots in the short irons and higher easier to launch shots in the long. The specially laser milled faces provide spin stability through your trajectory high and low while increasing workability left to right at the same time. What is interesting is this time ONOFF has a disclaimer saying saying the laser milling on the face is more suseptable to rust over time and to care for your irons properly. Features and Technology - Made by Endo of S20C - Progressive CG placement - Dual Tungsten Alloy in #3-7 irons - Laser Milled Faces - Available Custom Order from Labo Spec Department

If Fujikura made MCI Driver Shafts it would be...
Easily it would be the Seven Dreamers Shaft but TSG isn't going to charge anyone a grand for the Muziik, we would provide a deal on this one. The difference is the SD shaft is made for the particular player while this shaft is purely a material/tech play, I don't think you should be looking at this one knowing what you need.

The BANGVOO MVC 80T SHAFT: http://www.tourspecgolf.com/fujikura-rombax-bangvoo-mvc-80t-shaft - Full Length 80T - Extra wraps of 50T to increase stiffness in mid section - MCI like composite metal in tip section They really threw the kitchen sink at this one.

Takei is Back! GTD - Now in the TSG Pro Shop!
Here is the "GEN"... these names only G.T could do, you guy's of course remember "Atlete" did you know the old Gauge Design JPN putter "The Balde" was also a spelling error and it's name was supposed to be "The Blade"...
-
Takei is Back! GTD - Now in the TSG Pro Shop!
It's funky that's for sure, It's an interesting feel, not firm nor soft. I don't think anyone would miss the center area unless whacking it big for a really long putt.

Mizuno Yoro or Miura Giken Crafting ?
Imagine the MB-5005 with a W-Grind, in a different finish with less offset and a more boxy toe? That's pretty much as good as it get's for the MG custom gear imo. They pretty much have all the same options but Miura Giken offers copper under layer while Mizuno does not. Ah yes one big one is that Miura will not remove stamping! If they did omg!

Anyone going big on Alibaba?
TourSpecGolfer posted a post in a topic in Out of Bounds: Lifestyle, Luxury, Autos, Hobbies, High Tech GearI rarely trade individual stocks unless it's a company I love, In this case I do not have any love for Alibaba but it's hard to resist not taking a punt on this. Anyone else in the same boat? the real risk is with these Chinese plays is that tomorrow jack ma could wake up and decided he wants to get into some other business and next thing the Chinese consumer "pure play" is shot to pieces and so the stock re rates downward violently. IMO these situations are 50/50 and there are not a lot of comparable businesses. Perhaps it's time to get rid of Yahoo as well, Softbank get's to stay for now but there is an argument that given how poorly yahoo has fared / been run over the past few years that the only reason investors have been holding the stock at all is because of its holding of alibaba. now that investors can hold alibaba directly - why own yahoo? Eh what the heck, gonna take a bigger than usual punt to see where it goes. What say you guys?

Please note the inner and outer diameter or buyer could be very disappointed

Mizuno Yoro or Miura Giken Crafting ?
Yes except for the copper under layer, Mizuno won't do that. Finishes sometimes have issues with a copper under layer and it's harder to control head weight.

Bridgestone J715 Drivers - B5 vs B3
Driver - 9/19 Custom Shafted - 10/24 Fairway Wood, Utility, Irons - 10/24 Word is Japan will have a different finish, and better shaft options.

Mizuno Yoro or Miura Giken Crafting ?
Another thing on the Miura vs Mizuno: Being totally real Mizuno imo has better designs, materials, finish, better grinders, but is considered more mainstream/generic Miura imo is more botique and that's it. That said I would still lean to a set of 5005 totally decked out because I feel Mizuno lacks a neo blade that that has a smaller head.

Mizuno Yoro or Miura Giken Crafting ?
Bradley Hughes knows the swing no doubt but he doesn't appear to understand what players want, need or what designers think. Of course a perfect swing can hit a butter knife but how many of us have that, I deal with a lot of designers/grinders these are the guys actually making the clubs and when people say Zero Offset, it's a really? Who is this? After years of dealing with TSG they know not to ask that anymore but even Tiger dosen't have Zero offset, nor does Rory. I don't want the new members to come here and read zero offset is cool or better because it really isn't, it looks cool but it changes the performance of the golf club and for most players for the worse. I hate telling the 20+ handicapper than miura blades with every custom grind and no offset may not be the best choice. So I suggest we need to create different terms for this before TSG see's an increase in the requests for Zero offset coming from people who it wouldn't help. Zero Offset should be known as Zero Offset Clubs like the SB-01 or Baby Blade etc.. maybe we can call Extreme Minimal Offset What say you guys?

Grand Prix One Minute Dimple Driver
It's the only product TSG offers from them, it's got good reviews. I agree the brand is silly 99% of the time but this driver they did pretty well.

New Titleist VG3 vs. Srixon 545 vs Epon 703- ????
The VG3 is nothing like the AP2, totally different design nothing is borrowed. I'm not too familiar with USDM models so I can't comment on size but the lofts are stronger on the VG3 for more distance. Power? That's up to you :) Ball speed I can't really comment as well. My favorite thing about the VG3 is it's feel and forgiveness, I also think it's got just the right amount of offset and the slightly thicker top line I see as a bonus not a flaw.

Crazy Type A & Type B Shafts New for 2014
Crazy Golf now known as Crazy Sports has been undergoing somewhat of a rebranding and realignment of it's offerings, It's now a division of a new company/brand named Single B. There haven't been any releases in the past year due to Crazies president being arrested for Insurance fraud in 2012/2013 which sent the brand spiraling before being purchased by a new Investor. Now things look to be on the right track and quite possibly better than ever with 2 new brands and a more focused approach for Crazy Sports starting with the release of 2 new shafts the Type A and Type B which are both Made in Japan of High Modulus 50T Japanese Carbon. The Type A is a light weight, tip stiff, mid kick shaft in the 50 gram range while the Type B designed for the more aggressive swing type featuring a mid/high to high kick ( depending on flex ) in the 60-70 gram range. Now Available in the Pro Shop: Type-B: http://www.tourspecgolf.com/crazy-sports-type-b-driver-shaft Type-A: http://www.tourspecgolf.com/crazy-sports-type-a-driver-shaft

New 2014 ONOFF Forged KURO Reveal!
They should be very close to the size of the 2013 model.

New Titleist VG3 vs. Srixon 545 vs Epon 703- ????
All three irons are made at the same place (ENDO) of S20C IMO the VG3 is the best of the bunch, as it's one of the few irons with an undercut that feel very soft, I also like it's forgiveness and distance compared to the other two. The real question is what is more important to you, look, feel, forgiveness, distance, or the perfect blend. You can go either direction but the Z545 and AF703 are on the clicker side and based on the experience of our members and my own time the VG3 kinda checks all the boxes. 2014 VG3 - softest feel of 3 - 2nd best setup - tied with 703 for best distance - Interesting thick top line / minimal offset design Epon 703: - clickier feel than the other 2 - largest of the 3 - longest of the 3 - most offset of the 3 Srixon 545 - best setup of all 3 - least forgiving - shortest distance of 3 - most workable of 3
-
A.F.D.(Always fine distance)!Anyone want to talk about their products?
What specifically would you like to know? It's not a matter of too new as some are very old, it's just with so many great options out there it's hard to put your money down on a brand that really isn't really active. email me [email protected] if you have questions.

Mizuno Yoro or Miura Giken Crafting ?
No worries man, we all do it and I'm probably the biggest culprit. Let's just keep this here, without it this thread has no meat on the bone.

2014 Gekku RAW "Conforming" Wedge
Loft/Bounce: 52/8 56/12 60/5 Yes It can get confusing, Tour's and Tataki are their wedges geared at the athlete golfer or tour player. The Raw Gekku's are for enthusiasts from mid to low cap. My personal favorite is the Tataki, but visually this gekku I like best, probably because I arranged this stamping theme for Yururi hence why the conforming Gekku is exclusive to TSG.
