Added the 460HX pics to thread.

yes RomaRo Type R is long, forgiving, and feels/sounds fantastic.

Yup willing to give you a very good deal on a new boron and one with a warranty if thats what you want.

Agreed these will look killer done by Yoro Craft!

We're seeing a rise in RomaRo orders not only through TSG but also through our authorized dealers. My best guess is that the up tick in sales is coming from the good press the Type-R series is getting. Today is the 435LX, Tomorrow I will post the 460. This 435LX is a nice size and I installed a DI-6 stiff into it to see how it would stack up against my Crazy 435 w/ Boron. I would say in terms of feel the RomaRo has a slight advantage, I want to pull the DI6 and insert the Boron because I really feel like that combo would be great, I just want to see how soft or stiff the tip plays in this head. I hit this when it was first released along with nearly a dozen other drivers so somehow it got lost in the mix. What do you think? Has anyone hit these? Please post any questions or reviews in this thread. RomaRo 460HX

OMG! It's not out!! This wedge in the photo is not the final! The medallion is gone in the retail version due to durability in hot climates meaning it must have fell off. GS always does this to me, sends us prototypes that are not final.

Roddio is a very different brand now. No longer are they owned or a part of Globeride aka Daiwa although the shafts are still made by Globeride. The original Roddio shafts were very finicky shafts they just had their own way of doing things. When Roddio was purchased recently they did change that and now they are a lot more user friendly especially for the clubmaker. The shafts do play soft though. We met with them earlier this year and got the impression that they were taking the brand in a different direction and it's a little strange imo.

Crazy 435 has gotta be the best lefty driver out. The righty version is awesome.

Imo this is the most underrated Japanese wedge out today. It's about a hundred bucks which is a steal for anything made in Japan. The grind, shape, size, offset is near perfection, big OEMs could take notes off this one. It also feels good as well. Had some pictures in the back log to post. Sorry no detailed review. It's good and I haven't found anyone who owns one that says otherwise. If you hit this please add your thoughts.

face angle, lie angle, ideal shaft & grip. I'm really liking my anser putters at 4* open.

To each is own. Example is George Spirits, crisp, tink sound, floating slit etc.. feels unique and good then on the other side of the Zen feels delicious it's on the softer side but not mushy at all. So what is good feel to you? btw zen owners, i hit one that had been re spec'd by Sasaya-san. Not a single mod on it other than new specs, new shaft, new grip. Night and day. Gotta get your putter spec'd, make less putts.

this thread was started 9 years ago..:) Sorry no idea where you can get some TN-93's. Curious why you want those over whats available now. Blades have come a ways although the TN's are fantastic for their time.

You considering these? what questions you got?

This shaft wasn't originally purchased from TSG. I think spoon picked it up from a friend in PI who bought it from a shop in PI. I've probably had like 20+ crazy shafts. A couple I have pulled more than 6 times. Many pulled more than 3 times. 0 have broken on me. Here's the thing, we know some shops in Japan that never see Crazy breakage yet move many many shafts. Per the amount of shafts TSG sells the breakage rate is higher than normal. We know its not the swing speed of international players and that most likely Its usually the club maker or shipping or the players context about how he care for his/her clubs.

The V-Forged feels a little bit softer, the ONOFF13's are for sure longer and more accurate still soft. I would say the ONOFF has the slightest bit more offset and the better shape as well.

It's hands down the best JDM lefty driver around very good choice and I'm glad you didn't go with the Royal Deco.

lighting these pics were taken around 5:30am.

I believe these have a RAW finish face with bead blast just like the blades Tario posted. That means the entire head is plated except for the face so when it does wear you will only see rust on the face. Some say raw feels better at impact and with rust spin increases but thats a matter of opinion of course it just now you can have the best of both worlds with Tabuchi. Durability with raw feel. I also think these have the copper underlay. T can you confirm this please.

Underrated blades imo. The feel is so good on these, They also feature a tungsten weight near the moving the CG more to the center.

Yes we posted pics back in the golf show coverage and on FB. I had one right after the show It was pretty good except for the color of the head and the giant racing stripe. They even have a mirror chrome head if we want to see your reflection on the tee box. Although it says Manufacturing studio Japan they don't make the drivers themselves.

Yes Metal Factory, it's owned by Asahi golf and if you want these let us know. It's main draw is the red, yellow, and blue paint jobs they put on the driver. Yuck! they do have black though. Another thing is Asahi golf is known not to update their product lines often enough so this brand is based on only 1 driver in different colors and that's it. Supposed to have good distance.

Wait till u guys see the two custom CBs and custom wedges. Stunning!

Yes it would make sense to try that shaft as well. Ive got a pull GT7 going in next. I did the BB6 in it but yanked it as it was a little much fade for my swing.

Will add to the pro shop this week and begin testing how it compares to other wedges and the GTSW Pro which I really really like. For the George Spirits fans out there a bit of good news if your looking to upgrade your wedges. The new GTSW2 was just released and it looks stunning, the wedge is made, finished, and milled in Japan featuring one of the more durable gloss black finishes I have seen in the golf market. It's geared toward the average player who wants a thin top line and what appears to be onset which is the opposite of offset where the leading edge extends beyond the neck line.

What type of CB look you going for? Please describe what you are looking for based on what looks good to you then I can come up with some similar suggestions.
