  1. Just random photos from various courses in Japan, don't have the names on hand I'm sorry.
  2. The 130 while slightly heavier has a get up faster and rounder more arc'd in trajectory The 120 has a slightly more penetrating trajectory with more roll than the 130, lighter, friendlier. The 125 I've not hit but it should be like the C-Taper in this family. lower trajectory, ideal weight, in between the 120 & 130 as far as trajectory goes. Just my guess for now, would love to have all 3 in the same head on the LM.
  3. It's in the pro shop, very nice price. http://www.tourspecgolf.com/nippon-ns-mouds3-system3-tour-125-steel-shaft
  4. The new Srixon UT is supposed to be nice, also the Yamaha RMX UT I know from experience is just all around really good.
  5. These photos make me want to play in Japan more. enjoy!
  6. + 1 on Modart for me as well, distance control, accuracy, ease of use and ability to make good contact with makes it my top choice. Ryoma for flat out forgiveness and big distance but making clean contact is more difficult than modart imo.
  7. X100S. I'd take the RX100 MKII over the Ricoh, the MKIII easily of the Ricoh.
  8. I sold my X100 and got the Fuji X-T1 and it's fantastic. Colors on the sony are just fine.
  9. I don't think it's 80T, it doesn't feel like 80T to me, It would feel different if it was.
  10. NS Pro has just unveiled it's latest release the Modus3 System3 Tour 125 Shaft! Bang that's a mouthful, Modus3 Tour 125 for short sounds better. It features new technology made in Japan which we will go over but also Nippon Steel Co. is touting the tight tolerance and Japan level quality control. (MHT) = Multi Heat Treatment, by controlling the strong heat levels in certain areas they are able to control the hardness of the steel. This is a very big deal when it comes to making steel shafts, It's similar to what carbon can do by adding or changing layers of carbon to different parts of the shaft to increase stiffness. Variable shaft thickness has also been a technique of NSPRO, they have the sophisticated technology to control the thickness of all areas of the shaft at a micro level allowing for design freedom which allows them to provide the proper amount of spin and launch for different players.
  11. Zodia has been producing some stunners recently and that's not stopping with the release of their new CM-2 forged cavity back. Meticulously crafted via hand grind and cnc milling of Himeji forged S20C soft carbon steel. Zodia calls this beautiful plating their GM (grind mark) Finish, to me it looks like an aggressively brushed NiCr Satin but whatever the case it's a plating which means it shouldn't rust or wear much. No problem looking down at this all day, it's got virtually no offset and a nice sharp top line that reminds me of the ONOFF CB358. In the image below the point of that very tip of the toe could even be sharper than the Labo-spec irons. I have not hit this yet so my input is limited but I look forward to in coming weeks.
  12. Original Post Updated
  13. 1 iron 15* loft 2 iron 18* loft 3 iron 21* loft AW 52* loft SW 56* loft The JF10 Forged Protos are 0.370" tip so you need a shim for your shafts.
  14. Here it was a couple of weeks ago... and here it is today:
  15. RX100 MKIII is amazing I highly suggest over Ricoh or Fuji. MKII is a great price right now though.

    They will build you the shaft your swing needs based on their analysis of the questions. If they feel your swing requires a 77g shaft they would make you one provided your doing the haute couture. I suspect they would suggest a control shaft over the 77g. The extra weight you enjoy is to smooth your tempo and transition I assume, they could go a different route in materials or design to get you the same effect in a lighter shaft possibly. Or I could be wrong and SD finds you need 77+ and designs you one of those. Just an FYI: matrix is chosen from a selection of 57+ designs, haute couture is a custom design and material selection for a one off shaft designed for your swing and must be done in Tokyo.
  17. Yes that's right 1-SW... Somehow I never realized there was a JDM 1 iron. S25C Himeji Forged and made. 1050.00 Shipped heads only 1-SW (12 irons)!!! 4-PW heads only 599 shipped. Custom finishes and letter stamping available email me [email protected]
  18. I'm pretty familiar with black boron on gold's factory putters but its different because a putter takes no where near as much damage and deform as an iron or wedge so we see no ill effects. The bottom line on black boron is it's the nicest black most would agree and of course it will scratch but the biggest negative is a small percentage of them will flake, in which TSG Club Works will reduce the re-finish price in half. I have never seen a flakey club myself but know it's happened multiple times. But think what our other black options are: black oxide, soft black, teflon black, gun blue while all good black boron looks the best imo, it's a plating and acetone wouldn't hurt it either. I do highly suggest black oxide though, it's not as pretty because it's flat and it wears very quickly but rusty raw wedges just feel special. would be nice to take these P2's put them in Satin with a raw face or black. Copper is not stable but looks really good spruced up. Our brushed copper rusts like no other, I wish it would just stay like this.

    Thank you for that! Have a great time with your fellow TSGers!
  20. I agree and love the vanquish and it's carbon panels but everything on the inside is severely dated like all AMs. Interior design for me is equally important as exterior, that's what drove me to the LS then to get rid of it for the S class.
  21. Conforming grooves and yes available in lefty, these go into the pro shop tonight
  22. This is a K.K design and the original predecessor of today's T.388
