  1. I sold my X100 and got the Fuji X-T1 and it's fantastic. Colors on the sony are just fine.
  2. I don't think it's 80T, it doesn't feel like 80T to me, It would feel different if it was.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Here it was a couple of weeks ago... and here it is today:
  7. RX100 MKIII is amazing I highly suggest over Ricoh or Fuji. MKII is a great price right now though.
  8. 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.
  9. 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]
  10. 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.
  11. Thank you for that! Have a great time with your fellow TSGers!
  12. 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.
  13. Conforming grooves and yes available in lefty, these go into the pro shop tonight
  14. This is a K.K design and the original predecessor of today's T.388
  15. This shaft is pretty average in weight attached to a normal or slightly heavier head. It would be helpful if Craig could post his final build specs in balance and overall weight. Our other SD orders are D2-D3 with a slightly above average overall weight. The equation does not mean they build light golf clubs. It's still to the customers request and most of our guys are sending in 198-199g heads, to be played at 46" using 55-65g SD custom shafts.
  16. Our 3 types of copper are not to our standard, we most likely won't be offering it. Epon has an amazing copper finish but it's not exactly a copper finish it's something else. We have been experimenting with dual finish clubs first finish in copper then black then remove the black for a brushed look but our club crafters don't want to deal with that difficult process. Anyway sorry for thread jacking. PM for further questions. These P2's look nice.
  17. Contact me with details of your build so we can quote. It's case by case based on the design also we provide package deals if you set is purchased from TSG, or you decide to purchase new paint fill, shafts + grips installed. This particular finish is black boron, done at the same place Miura's black boron irons are done. It's a plating so it will not wear, but I've seen a couple of complaints online about Miura's that have flaked. It's not common though but I must warn. In the event it does flake you can send it back to us and the re-refinishing fee is half off for the redo. We can remove light dings, do any type of paint fill, and upgrade with any shaft and or grip you like. We even have fancy ferrules :) This whole thing is still in Beta, we are testing it out with select members before offering it full scale. Here are my Yamaha heads:
  18. I like this thank you. 1. 3.5 loft in one putter does not mean 3.5 will work in a different design for you. If the loft is not designed for the particular model it will probably skip. Also the right way to do loft is to mill loft, never allow a decent putter be bent for loft. 2. Totally agree, I go from mallet to answer and center shaft to plumbers quite often. Once one goes stale the other is there to take it's place. Only issue is if your two rotation putters are too similar to each other this little break doesn't work as well. 3. Spot on! away from the mountain, toward the ocean, toward the sun, did it rain? the moon and gravity? Thanks mother earth for screwing with us.
  19. In regards to a black finish, this is what Yururi did with the PDG, I saw it unfinished and it looked larger in size and offset after the black finish it looked pretty close to the Yammy RMX Tour MB much to our surprise. In NiCr Satin I think it could look even bigger than in chrome. I think something like this iron we did here in black boron on these 302's would hide some of the offset.
