What I'm saying is that zero offset is very rare and even for the PGA tour pro. Minimal is fine for Chiro, the SB-01, Baby Blade, Buchi, Yoro, Miura would suite him just fine with "minimal offset" These small amounts will not hurt his game.

SB01 has offset face progression (mm) 4.5 in the 3 iron 5.5 in the pw Miura Baby Blade: Offset (inches) 0.11 0.10 0.10 0.07 0.07 0.07 0.07 0.06

Here is a helpful read: Proper Iron Swing:An offset club naturally puts your hands in front of the club head. In the address position, your hands are on the shaft, while the club head is angled back a bit. This helps when swinging an iron because -- in a conventional iron swing -- you should be striking “down and through the ball,” with your hands leading the club head through the point of impact, according to swing coach Butch Harmon. PGA professional John Graham says an offset club offers “a better angle of attack” and “helps produce an impact with your hands in front of the club head.” Center of Gravity:The main purpose of an offset club head is to help players who tend to slice. One way in which the offset helps to limit or cure the slice is by moving the club head’s center of gravity farther from the shaft. Former “Golf Digest” equipment editor Peter Farricker explained that the farther the center of gravity is from the shaft, “the better chance you have of squaring the club face.” Squaring the Club Face:By pushing the club head a bit farther back from the shaft line, an offset club also helps to limit slices caused by open club faces because its structure “gives the head a little more time for the club face to square up at impact,” says PGA professional Don Trahan. By offsetting the club face, impact with the ball is delayed “a split-second longer,” according to Farricker. But that split second may be all that you need to square the club face and avoid a slice. Downside:Some golf professionals worry that by using an offset club as a crutch to cure a slice, a player either won’t improve his swing and learn how to square the club face on his own, or he will improve his mechanics, in which case the offset may turn the cured slice into a bad hook. Trahan says offset clubs “serve a good purpose for helping golfers who don’t have the skills or time to develop the skills to play better golf and shoot lower scores by hitting better and straighter golf shots.” He recommends that golfers learn proper mechanics, then play with non-offset clubs. I'm willing to bet that Trahan actually does have some amount of offset on his irons and just doesn't know it. Does anyone know of zero offset players MB's? Like really zero not minimal.

Most models can but not the PP9003 or CB2007... While you can go zero I suggest keeping a little offset for the benefit of performance.

The Yururi Raw Gekku wedge has been the #1 selling wedge at TSG for many years and the # most recevied question regarding it is can you ask Yururi to product a conforming version, I would usually direct them to the Yururi Tour Wedge which is outstanding and get's lots of play on the JLPGA Tour but over the years and after countless requests I have finally broken down and pushed the issue to bring the Conforming Raw Gekku into fruition. So here she is, a TSG Exclusive 2014 Yururi "Conforming" Raw Gekku Wedge. TSG listened to it's members requests for less stamping and a cleaner look. Set to be released in October there will be only 30 wedges a month produced and sold only at www.TourSpecGolf.com available in 52/56/60* lofts with custom shafts or head only

TSG can, they even offer Copper under layer which imo would make the MB-5005 almost the perfect blade.

A customer stumped me the other day asking what I would choose between a custom grind set of Miura Giken MB-5005's or a custom grind set of Mizuno Yoro Craft Blades of my choice. In this scenario it includes custom offset, custom grinds, custom finish and custom shaft/build specs. I found myself going back and fourth looking at the options from both brands and pictures at TSG. I pitty the man who must choose between these two amazing Irons. So I wanted to ask the members what would you choose?

No it's not I'm sorry.

Was not aware of that, I wonder if the two feel the same.

To me this is a unique shape but I've also got a discerning eye compared to most. some can pick apart an iron or wedge for a handful of little differences in shape and thicknesses, top line etc... But when it comes to putters they go blind. If you don't see it, need not apply. Id say this is the best shaped answer TSG offers.

Long overdue, many have been asking, I don't know why I waited so long to bring it in, the shape is unique, feel is unique, I just love this putter the way it is, I can't imagine what Gold's could do taking this a step further. Modart fans rejoice! It's definitely as good as the rest of their gear. One of the most interesting thing's about Modart is how they mill S25C from a solid block without it being forged, this creates a unique dense and soft feel known only to Modart clubs

Your wedges will have the same stamping as the Satin Plated version above. link to original thread: http://forum.tourspecgolf.com/topic/36764-my-new-favorite-wedges-suda-grinds-by-modart/

10 days - 1 round? No, It's hard to be busy for 10 days in Maui, time slows down there, your brain will adjust and time will open for another round.

Maui has very haoule influenced food the places I suggested are tops local favorites. Beware of spending big bucks in the resorty areas, I'm excited for you and jealous. Drive around down to the end past Wailea & Makena where it has some mansions and small more private beaches.

Its mostly 2 part, different brands than what's used in the states. There are a few types, If anyone is interested in ordering a bunch let me know.

Hey Matthew, long time no talk ;) RAW Satin Plated:

It's a forged face

Type-B is 66g which is not considered light.

I'm with you, 2013 onoff forged I still suggest to people regularly. I think when you see better photos you might feel differently about the looks.

First pics of the new ONOFF Kuro Collection and the new ONOFF Kuro driver and 2014 Forged Irons. Really digging these irons, our friends who have hit these on the range are saying they are a big improvement over the previous version and that the short irons are very accurate with a mid trajectory. Soft feel, yadda yadda and yes made by Endo still. More info to come :)

Newer and different technology with balls geared to more specific segments where as in the states the balls are more generalized for soft/distance/spin. In Japan they are the masters of rubber, the technology behind the ProV1 and ProV1x came from Bridgestone not Titleist. It's also got to do with pushing the envelope, in the states they stick with what works and sells and have much slimmer margins, the cost of R&D is not cheap and adding new tech 1-2 times a year isn't either which is what Japan does. You also see a lot of balls in Japan that are for normal players in which driver spin increase is a good thing. The emphasis on Tour or marketing to the wannabe Tour like player isn't as powerful in Japan as it is in the states. We should see the selection get smaller as with Bridgestone eliminating many TourStage balls, same with Srixon with other brands to follow, golfers not the brands imo are to blame, these companies have statistics on what people purchase, survey's, and other analytics that lead them to make what the masses want. If the segment of discerning golfers willing to spend more for products that continue to push the envelope grows then the data would support a direction of better quality materials and new technologies.

sure, please email me [email protected] with as much details as possible on what you want.
