I'll be posting the GTD pics here starting with the "GanGa" If you liked the Eldik, you will like this one.

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!

I 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

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.

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.

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.

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?

RLL's Gold's Factory Copper (Oil Can) Finish:

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.

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 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

They should be very close to the size of the 2013 model.

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

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.

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.

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.

It's not you man, we all jack threads and sometimes it goes fun and deep. I agree totally less offset looks fantastic.

If you want one just drop me a PM, you are literally the only request ever we have had for these clubs.

The jacking goes deep in this thread... Jeffrey no clue who this guy is and never heard of him but to say go for blades with as little offset as possible is bad advice for the vast majority of players, it's not a band aid as he says, far from it.

I will take a look for you, I have the new GTD proto wedges in hand that have onset, will post soon.

Thank You, I stand corrected then :)

Thank You! 119.00 in the proshop for head only. http://www.tourspecgolf.com/yururi-raw-gekku-wedge-2014-head-only

We are close with A.F.D, good stuff for sure used by George Spirits and Crazy. They use DAT which I like. How's that name "Always Fine Distance" :)

And there are a few wedges with ONSET, so that is another option for Chiro.
