Around $250 custom is pretty much the same price the only difference is wait time, we are still waiting for the global editions to arrive and half are already spoken for. We are trying to get ahead of the delay but it's proving difficult. These are to be listed this week in the proshop.

Exactly what we first said when we rolled these back in Feb. Cheap looking yet awesome. It's got a very big insert and a shallow cavity behind the face as well. I'm sure Sasaya could do magic to one of these.

What does As new mean? Have they been hit? Please share more so members can get a good idea of the condition. beautiful irons man.

ONOFF isn't a component brand, nor persimmon feel either, weight we can make a request sure.

Distance was hard to judge because I'm hitting the standard shaft in the ONOFF but have the FW80 in my XV. I think they are about the same but of course the FW80 made the dispersion a lot tighter. I believe if they both had the same shaft the ONOFF will fly a hair lower while the XV is just a little bit more forgiving.

Thanks Craig, we are starting to find that some pressed grooves dull after plating and face blasting and one way to insure mucho spin is to order the option of CNC milled face and grooves, it's not a cheap option but gives you micro face milling and grooves that are really sharp. conforming - non conforming - and super non conforming grooves are all options. That's funny all three of us went from Toyoshimas to Buchi's.

I can't remember a time when there has been so many amazing fairway woods on the JDM scene at once, ONOFF's TS358 is sitting pretty near the top of that list, it's the model created for the pro by the pro and I've put it's through it paces seen what it can do and the take away it's definitely one of my top 3 choices. You may be wondering what some of my other favorites are, well in the mix is also the S-Yard XV, PRGR's latest Egg, Royal Collection 306V and a New Prototype we have yet to reveal made by one of TSG's favorite shaft companies. In the past ONOFF made some really good shallow faced fairway woods, the description in the TSG Store says its got a semi deep face and I agree it's also got a low enough center of gravity and a shallow of enough face to make it fairly user-friendly. As far as size goes it's 157cc's which is considered pretty small for a 3 and to put that into context the S-Yard XV 3 wood is 190cc's albiet very well hidden. Looking back at the previous Labo Spec fairway woods ONOFF has done much smaller, in 2013 they released a F358 fairway wood oddly no #3 was available you could only get #5 and #7 but even crazier the five was 120cc's and the seven was 112cc's some of the tiniest in golf today. So how does 157cc's work in the real? It's beautiful to look down on., this fairway just frames the ball so nicely, it doesn't look small perhaps if it were in matte black it could but with gloss black it appears to have some size to it. To me making a smaller head look bigger is just as cool as as making a big head look small. Tungsten rubber weighted sole, I would love to break one of these heads apart and see exactly how it was done. More and more brands are using stuff like alpha gel or TPU type materials but usually only for vibration & feel, in the case of the TS358 this rubber type material is also used for weighting and it being so close to the face I assume creates a more noticeable effect. All Labo Spec clubs are limited edition, they are made for the ONOFF sponsored JPGA players, released in extremely small quantities and never produced again.

Yes just like yours, everyone says the same thing about buchi wedges. I call his wedges "smooth" because they seem to slide through turf like no other. One of the test wedges had more offset than the others, that wedge was absolutely automatic and tops in my book, making me think we don't praise offset enough sometimes. We ended up going with the less offset version. By the way, I'm looking at your signature its just stunning the clubs you play. Bravo Mr. Bravo!

GT-S are beautiful irons, I think you will love them.

These are truley amazing, The fit face is my favorite too. If you could only have one which would it be?

I think your guys customs shipped because they were placed very early even before standard builds were assembled. Many went with Roddio this time, far more than any other shaft option.

5 sets shipped today! At least another 5-10 will go out this wednesday! Custom sets to follow shortly.

Fresh off the grind the 2014 Buchi Global Launch Edition. TSG announced Buchi well over a year ago and at the time the brands design and shape catered to the tastes of Japan. Over the last year we had customers purchase Tabuchi-san's custom grind wedges and while I was not a big fan at first , the comments began to roll in. Customers were claiming the Buchi custom wedge as the best feeling and most versatile they have ever played and that caught my attention as some of these guys play it all. Since then we have gone through a half dozen prototypes all variants of what our customers requested until it became a blend of sorts. The result is a wedge that not only looks stunning but feels unreal and most importantly performs for a wide group players. We tested in the rain, in the desert, and from a variety of sand conditions to create a wedge that we think has few rivals. Release is in June and it all kicks off with a limited 4 wedge set 50/54/58/62* lofts called the global launch editions. Only 10 of these sets will be made. In regards to price Buchi is an excellent value, these global models cost the same as the custom wedges! That's pretty unheard of now days. So if you want something already prepared you can go with these, if you have custom requests and don't mind waiting the cost is no different. Only the limited sets will demand a premium and for good reason, a new additional mold needed to be created to make it happen. Stay tuned for more info and the official release announcement.

Some of these are under half their original price, just trying to clear these as they take up too much space in storage. The mount Fuji/Stork already sold. The rest are still available.

If the Yamaha RMX UT married the ONOFF UT this is what you would get... The TW717 Utility Wood by Honma. It reminds me of the RMX UT with it's face profile and how it appears at setup. It reminds us of the ONOFF Fairway Wings Type-S because of the way it feels. As far as performance goes think ONOFF but slightly easier to get up. A nearly perfect combo. It's an undersized UT with a rounded leading edge and a low cg created by the weight screw on the sole. Honma makes these in 16/19/22 and the lower the loft the closer the weight is placed toward the face. We are in luck because Honma has a pretty awesome shaft option for this, the Vizard UT950 which is in the mid 90's range designed for the player.

The question was are they overpriced. The answer to that is always It depends on how deep one's pockets are, and that doesn't make you a mug. I love expensive stuff myself! I doubt your paying double for a factory build and the ability to purchase options.. Your willing to pay double because of the brands image. Those questions your asking, about weight tolerance, build tolerance, face angles. It's all made the same way for each brand, No magic Epon only elves unfortunately, automated computers "blueprint" everything by weight, heads made in the thousands and the OEM will inspect tolerance after delivery once again.

Both of you guys make good points. Does the Endo forged $799 USDM Cobra AMP or $999 USDM Callaway X-Forged equal a set of $2K Epons?.. it's the same metal, same machines, same tolerance, factory & staff with Epon you do pay a premium for the name and gone are the days of the $1150 msrp.

The graphic fabric sounds interesting but 4 axis is dated. We went to Globeride shaft factory at their HQ and I get the impression it's harder to make a good golf shaft than it is a fishing rod. Don't know if that's true, the rod has to be strongest, lightest, and longest sometimes which is expensive and cutting edge, but the golf shaft has to have playable characteristics through design. RI if you wanna try PM me.

It's always expensive to ship golf bags across the globe so when golf accessory maker Win Win called and asked if we could take these bags off their hands after the PGA show it was our pleasure. We actually do sell them slow albeit consistently throughout the year to what I assume are non forum members. I'm personally not one for cartoony very bright colored bags, I''m usually safe sticking to dark, carbon, denim, blacks and other colors in bags but it looks fun to have a bag like this. They are some of the best made I've seen in golf period and I totally understand why people buy these. They are expensive, but worth if you enjoy the style from great make & materials to upgraded rubber handles and partially transparant rain covers etc.. So these exact bags are already in the states, that means shopping is a lot less especially by ground for all those who live in the lower 48. Better yet I think were knocking almost half off on some of these. This is all we got here so if you like please PM me.

A couple years now we have seen them at the golf show. I think they make Graphite Leader as well, stuff seems pretty generic but I have no idea how it performs. Discount to be the guinea pig? http://www.olympic-co-ltd.jp/golfsite/

We are so far from agreement on a host of issues. It's so far beyond stupidity it becomes comedy.

If it's carbon and raw it will rust. The purpose of going raw is feel, do these irons feel firm like the wedges in your opinion?

I've never hit Zodia irons before so should I expect firm like the wedges? RAW irons is dangerous for people who live in humid areas. Vegas no problem with proper care, Hawaii this will look a rusty mess in just a few months.

Very good driver still. It's not that old. less than a year ago.

There will be an S600 coming, it will be a Hybrid I believe. A maybach as well. You couldn't be more right about AMG. The purpose of something like the S550 is purely comfort and the luxuries the car has to offer. In the U.S all S models are long wheel base, there is no short as there will be in other countries. I test drove the new S63 vs new S550 and ended up trading in my wives lexus for the 550. I went planing on AMG for its cool bumper, more powerful motor, exhaust, and small touches on the interior the ride actually felt a bit more harsh. Suspension & 20" wheels could be the main culprit here but with this motor and upgraded brakes the car didn't accelerate as smoothly nor stop as luxuirously as the standard 550 did. I've always had this issue with Brembo's, looks cool and stops way better yet it doesn't feel better and squeaks sooner with dust. The S65 is probably a whole other story as it's geared back toward luxury vs the S63 is sport. The AMG runs almost an extra 40k for all that and with no options. So we decided to load up on the options with our non AMG model. Glad I did because the options really make this car. Now I can't imagine an AMG without the extras added. There is an improved option on this W222 called Magic ride control and with the AMG's you can't get it. It's pretty awesome the cars cameras detect strong wind, speed bumps, pot holes & dips and prepares the suspension for it either softening and lifting or firming and lowering. The things you can do with a full air suspension now days. No matter what you do to an S class it will never be built for speed so why? Standard S550:
