Of course we can work out a good price for our supporting members. One thing to note is Mizuno will make as many sets as ordered before July 31st 2014. The release date is Janurary 2015! No orders will be accepted after July 30th 2014 Japan time.

There is no need, spine is graphic up or down, flow there is no need, pure does nothing for shafts made and designed well, the very low end shafts may benefit from these things because they are poorly made but In my opinion these do more harm than good to high end shafts.

It would lose a lot of feel that's for sure. Like TRPX imo, if it's played below 45" it loses it's sensation, at 46" it feels as it should. Most shafts played shorter lose feel especially the softer butt end shafts.

Mizuno TN-87 ( Tommy Nakashima 1987 ) - Don't you love it when the classics make a return? And boy was this a classic, originally released in 1988 There are still set's of the original TN-87's floating around on the web in a variety of conditions. Finding a brand new set is next to impossible. So why are these so highly coveted? Tommy Nakashima was at one point the #1 player on the JPGA tour, but that's really not the reason why Mizuno blade purists love them. It's first and foremost the shape, then feel that make up its cult appeal. Mizuno used a copper under layer below the chrome mirror finish, copper is a double edged blade because while it does create a nice soft and dense impact it also causes slight imperfections in the finishing process. If anyone tells you, it's to hide pitted steel they have no clue. Ready for the brutal part? These are going to cost an arm and a leg, when released there are no options to choose from, you must buy as they Mizuno offers the set. 10pcs 3-PW + AW+SW for a whopping 4 grand! That's right 4 g's people! If it helps it comes with a bag tag with your name on it... There are some differences, the lie angle on the wedges have been tweaked ever so slightly also there is now a gap wedge AW that never existed before, because it was not around at the time of the original it does not have the stamping TN-87 on it, but is part of the set and only sold with this set. If you are interested in locking one of these beauties up, you must email asap. I'm willing to bet even at this price they will not last long. [email protected]

I just removed the sticker, now it's blank in the cavity, will post pics. This iron is seriously fun to hit.

depends on the shaft, do not pure any of the high end JDM shafts.

There was a TSG mock up version of this iron presented to Kobayashi-san and SYD prior to production, obviously this was not it, there were no stickers or lines, no chrome it was brushed satin, the inner cavity presented looked clean and un cluttered, then this arrived... Visually this is a tragedy in my opinion, looks cheap and gaudy, these are stickers! I decided not to bring it in or market it as we have a good idea of what our customers want visually in an iron. With the XV driver and fairway wood, how could this thing be related? The demo iron sat in storage and the other day while I was getting organized I found it tucked away in a box. so what the hay, I gave it a rip on the range and was saddened, not because it didn't perform but rather how it looks compared to it's performance. It performs very very well. soft, stupid forgiving, long, just ugly :( Am I being harsh?

Yup I agree and outside of swing speed we have the head weight, club length, hosel depth etc. all impacting the performance of the shaft. I've tried normal S and hard stepped S and X in the I-10 and S in the I-9 hard stepped. Distance and feel is wonderful on this shaft, dispersion is still graphite like. For the more aggressive swinger often graphite shafts play a little loose in the tip section for the less aggressive tempo the club head squares at impact beautifully.

Anyone here play the Air Shepherd woods? The driver performs, I'm going to be giving the UT a trial this weekend mostly because I love it's face profile and setup.

Hi Ash, I love India it's a wild place and an assault on the senses for sure. Where did you visit? Varanasi and Udaipur were my favorites.

Not sure if it's considered a good wedge shaft but I've been playing C-Tapers with great results. In my Modarts I have the Modus3 130g and it's not bad either.

I love Roddio I-10's and have tried them several times over the years, best results were with Miura blades but at the times I was healing a back injury. Now when I pick them up I can't really keep them accurate unless I swing smooth, at my normal tempo shots leak right consistently, slow it down and I get the perfect baby draw. That's fine and all but on windy days I can't help but to swing harder. I would suggest Roddio for the smoother tempo and transition player. Same thing with Crazy, I bought the expensive CBI limiteds and got the right leaks as well. Something about graphite keeps me coming back for more, the feel and how it changes the sensation of any iron over steel is interesting. For my score and accuracy it's C-Tapers at the moment.

Not many are talking about JDM Titleist. The 2014 model Driver 9.5 version, FW, UT, Irons, Wedges, Putter, and Ball. VG3'd depending on the player this can be a sensational rig. I've heard no complaints about any of their new JDM clubs.

Hi Bunches, What is your handicap? You are female correct? We have a few sets of the PRGR iD Nabla Forged "TOUR" at a special price to offer you, these are a little less forgiving than the 302 but setup better from all angles, it's S20C endo forged yet has a different more pure less soft feel than the 302's, more forgiving than the TourStage MC, a bit softer as well yet with less feedback. Fujimoto Gikoh Believer & Adject Irons may also fit the bill, in terms of feel and setup they are better than most, the drawback is the stamping. RMX tour model CB is another, it is a tad bigger than the 302's but more forgiving, feel is a a bit firmer than your Epons. Thanks for your questions, you really know your stuff, I'm not sure if we have many females in the forums, especially ones that play the best mens clubs.

Lightest shaft "available" today. Fujikura has a mid 20's gram shaft in prototype since late 2013.

+ Torched Orichulum Weights + Light Milling on entire face + Oval PZ Milled Insert The soft black finish looks darker in person than in these photos, matching the torched weights well.

Soft Black

Just take is slow buddy, it takes time so I suggest reading up in the forum and blog. By the time your new job comes around and the bills are paid you should have a better grasp of the JDM scene. Use the search function, it helps.

Many of TSG's customers are not forum posters and purchase directly from the store. Honma, Yururi, Geotech, RomaRo. These brands sell better than some of the forums most beloved brands. Geotech Quelot is just all around bad ass, the RF800 is a bit firm at impact but just powerful and strong with better distance than most top brands. Geotech wedges are Made in Japan compact and ball shredding.

PRGR and RomaRo and Honma if we are talking complete brands from putter to driver including bags. I so want to choose ONOFF but can't get along with the drivers especially with the adapter. RomaRo has amazing everything, the new 2014 putters while expensive are top notch. I saw one in person, almost looks like Bettinardi manufactured them for RomaRo. Just a guess based on looks. RomaRo bags and grips are awesome. PRGR is an easy choice as well.

maaan, you get it

I personally never understood the need to have all clubs from 1 brand, I've always felt it limits you by leaving out so many of the best products. The only reason why pro's do it because they are locked into a contract, you are not so why? No single brand has it all, I admit I've tried the 1 brand 1 bag thing before when I first started playing and it doesn't last long because there are just so many good products coming out from so many brands that it's hard to not stray. I'd say mix it all up, don't be confined to a single maker. It's funny sometimes when I see a bag full of ice cream cones (as stew would say), these are usually the same guys dressed like Rickie Fowler.

Had a biz trip to India non golf related but also spent time taking photos and enjoying the culture. Some of my friends said I wouldn't like it... so wrong I thought it was one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.

Looks like it's got some good variety in weights and flexes, It's pretty expensive. almost 700 bucks retail. It's a full length 80T Japan made carbon shaft, for those of you who know Mamiya while the shafts are great they are made in bangladesh, this one is made in Japan. Only Mamiya's best is made in Japan. For my 95-103mph range I would try the 6SR first and long allowing for good feel and space to tip. These will also be in the shop early this week.
