Mizuno is changing how it sells these in Japan. There may be limitations on the adjustments for this new line. The existing products will still have all the yoro options its just this new series we do not know yet.

Welcome to the forum. The MCB has a totally different shape than the CB and it's shape of its face and dimensions that support it's forgiveness. The CB is geared toward that "look" a better player usually wants. MCB has a slightly wider sole, both soles seem flat but do not perform that way. The MCB has a beautiful and effective leading edge grind. The MCB top line is thicker by 0.5mm ( not much at all ) The offset is the same in both, a customer informed us that our FP #'s are nearly identical to Miuraism blades. I double checked with the factory and that was correct. I do not suggest a combo as one we won't break sets up. The face shape is different. It's really not necessary as the #4 and #5 of the standard CB are some of my favorite clubs to hit. easiest long irons from a true players CB i have experienced. MCB #5 iron is also super forgiving.

Are yours standard or custom grind?

I would say MCB w/ 1.5* stronger lofts.

51/57/61 will be the lofts we sell. will post an address pic soon!

So many great ones. Crazy Tour SDJ 115 CGS Orion I would look at those if you like compact.

It's all up here - https://www.prgr-golf.com/product/brand/egg/ I have had these for a week now. will shoot photos. have not been able to hit.

We are making more. Seven ST Wedge.. yup that’s the one! Sold out before everyone knew of their existence!! Here is a quick review for those who missed out on these fabulous wedges the first time around. These wedges are too good to be considered “Previous generation.” :) Putting it down on the hitting mat, the head has a teardrop silhouette which will appeal to the traditionalist players alike. The head is very compact and looks highly versatile which should please the most demanding of wedge connoisseurs out there. These wedges are targeted for mid to low handicap players. The design concept behind for these wedges are “Crazy Tour wedge performance meets SDJ 115 grooves.” In other words, these ST wedges were designed to combine the most highly praised shape with one of the best performing groove designs!! If that kind of design concept doesn’t get your socks up and down, well.. you just need to try these for yourselves to understand why these are so good!! Seven ST Wedges can be had in two different finishes. A Smooth Satin finish as well as an Arakenma finish. Though I have not seen one yet, I think the Arakenma one might be interesting to own. After hitting a few shots, I realize this wedge is probably one of the softest feeling wedges I have ever tried. BTW, I had a Dynamic Gold S200 shaft in this tester. Such a good shaft. Why have I walked away from these shafts? Need to seriously re-consider these shafts. As with many JDM enthusiasts, the thought of using a TTDG shaft is a bit plain and boring …. :) The feel wasn’t mushy soft. Just the right amount of softness. These wedges were made by the same folks producing SDJ and Crazy wedges. I did previously own the SDJ 115 wedges which I recall had a similar feel to these Seven ST Wedge. SDJ 115 wedges had a very straight leading edge and so they weren’t as versatile compare to this Seven ST wedge. With the Seven ST Wedge I can open the face significantly before worrying about the heel starting to lift. Pretty useful for those bunker shots with a 10ft high lip or the once in awhile flop shots over those trees close to the green. After about 10 or so consecutive shots, I was almost amused by looking at the amount of ball cover that have been scraped off of the range balls and accumulated on the face. Wow! Never hit such an extreme ball shredding wedge! The grooves on these wedges are made using the same process used on the SDJ 115 wedges and they are conforming grooves. I was having so much fun hitting 60 yard partial shots with complete control of distance and trajectory. With an easy 3/4 swing, ball lands right next to the 60 yard flag and though the landing spot is bare dirt with no turf, one hop and I can see the ball wanting to spin back. This wedge produces some serious spin! While I enjoy hitting this ball shredder, I also question myself, ” Do I want my balls to shred up like that on the course? ” Might need to test it with real balls to see how they withstand these wedges. Maybe the range balls are just not that durable. In any case, I am very impressed with the Seven ST Wedge!

All I can say is I can't say anything.

Introducing the A-GRIND A-CB Forged Irons new for 2017. A-Grind is a relatively new company we have been promoting at TSG since 2015. (Click Here) Their designs have quite the following as they perform well thanks to their skilled designer Yusuke Ako who was also the lead designer for Royal Collection from 2004 to 2013 creating all their clubs including woods, irons, wedges, and utilities. The heads themselves are not made in Japan unfortunately but they are forged of S20C or 1020. Portions of the back cavity are cnc milled and in hand I can tell you this cavity is deep yet the top line and sole of these irons is not. Ako-san did a fantastic job hiding size. A-Grind has many irons from muscle black to players CB and even under cut cavities. Some of their line up overlaps with their other offerings. The new A-CB seems to be in that semi mid-sized category as it has a slightly thicker top line and more offset than other A-Grind irons. Still I do consider these on the smaller end of mid sized. I have one demo iron that I was able to play with. I tested it with two shafts NS950 Stiff and S200. These irons are indeed forgiving for the size and feel was soft yet a touch numb. They are very easy to hit high and straight the iron I would most compare them to are the Miura CB-1008’s both are very similar. I can say that the Miura’s feel better in the center of the club face but the A-Grinds are more forgiving and feel better on miss hits. The A-Grinds are also longer as the PW is 2* stronger. The shape would go to the Miura’s by a small margin as would fit and finish. The photo above shows a good look at how deep the cavity is while the photo below contrasts how narrow they were able to keep the sole.

Yup they will be very similar to the Yururi Raw Gekku. Kyoei sends me the prototypes for our advice they provide many grinds and much to our surprise the one that closely resembles the Raw Gekku came out on top. Such a basic and well done sole grind that I often forget about. For those who don't know Kyoei produces this wedge for Yururi. So yes the two will be very similar but the Kyoei visually looks outstanding. btw Kyoei black raw grain blades are back in stock!

Miura does not manufacture this head. It's made in Taiwan and finished in Japan so no I'm sorry.

There is the same custom bending TSG offers on it's irons I believe. 2* either way loft and lie.

I'm putting together a short review on the TF-UT one of the best forgiving utilities I have ever tried. I wanted to know if anyone else here has tried it and kept, or moved on.. positive and negative is appreciated!

Wedge is next and CB after that sir. I am pushing for a retail price decrease as well. If all works out these will have a $1000 msrp soon!

I expect a fail from the forums being that many of you guys swing hard and fast. But the overwhelming consensus from our online store customers has been awesome. The new Maxima seems to stay in the bag of the smoother tempo player for far longer than any other drivers. Fast swingers thats a different story but thats not to say it isn't possible to setup a build to make one work. the Ryoma Maxima Type-G, it has been out for some months now so we needed to write a review based on my own personal experiences with this club along with the plenty of client feedback we have received from those who have purchased it. First things first though, These maxima’s have quite the line up and it can get confusing so after the jump we will explain the differences between the Type-V/D/G and special tune models Lets start with the old Maxima, it is called the D-1 Maxima and it is no longer produced. The new model as shown here is simply called the Ryoma Maxima and it was 3 years in the making after the previous D-1 Maxima. There are a total of 3 basic versions of the Maxima. Type-V is the black head that is heavier with a square face angle. The Type-D is the silver head which has a closed face angle and lighter head. The Type-G is also with a closed face angle and an even lighter head making it the best choice for the slower swinger. Then there is the special tune which is the non-conforming model which is offered in Gold, Silver, and Black. With the special tune all the heads have the same spec with a closed face angle unlike the conforming model where each version has its slight differences. TSG can also custom order head weights if the player needs something specific for a build. The company Ryoma is very different than other golf brands out there they come from the medical science industry and beat to a different drum than other companies. They spend a lot of time on patents and producing new materials and technologies. What I have noticed is slow to average swing speed players do the best with any of their three models. My wife has been playing Type-G and D for many years and all 3 versions of the Maxima since they were released years back. These have given her much more distance as the spin rates seem to help smoother tempos get the ball up easier popping off the club face hotter. Ryoma says their new face on average when compared to the most popular drivers in Japan such as XXIO and Maruman has 3.8mph faster initial ball velocity speed yet with -900 rpms less spin. It’s a forged cup face but the material is proprietary that no other brand can use. Ryoma calls it Ti TX II. User feedback from customers is excellent with slower swingers. I will say that players above 100mph in that 110mph range could use a head with less spin and a lower launch. The only people getting rid of their Ryoma’s are in that hard hitter athlete segment and they pretty much all order the Type-V. The complaint we see from hard hitters is always spin and direction related. No matter how much Ryoma says the Maxima is also for professional and advanced players we do not see that. What we see is average to slow swingers who fall head over heels for the Maxima more than anything else. The only type of strong players we see get along with the Type-V are those who have better understanding of their own swing mechanics. People with 3800 spin at 105mph+ with an over the top slice or a snap hooking problem are likely not to get the best results from this driver. Everyone else on the slower side of that has been in love with the Maxima’s performance. I am one of those with too much spin and I launch the ball too high so the Ryoma is not exactly my cup of tea out of the box. I have spent years trying to find the path to tame this beast and have had great results with heavier more stable shafts that have a medium stiffness tip section ( FOR ME ) This helps me hit it lower, it helps my tempo with the heavier shaft. I go to the lowest loft Type-V, play a shorter length and heavier head. It’s just about the longest driver I have hit when I slow down my swing and keep my tempo in check. BEYOND POWER – Ok so many people swear by these shafts. Ryoma will not sell the shaft alone or people would be putting these in all sorts of other brands clubs. Beyond power is basically a one size fits all approach to flex. They play softer and lighter and recently Ryoma has released the beyond power plus which is for those that have a slightly faster tempo. The standard BP shaft should be for those who play R2-SR while the plus would be SR-Stiff ( my opinion ). By far we are finding it much easier to fit people into beyond power shafts than Ryoma’s standard tour AD shafts and even aftermarket shafts. I have asked countless times to be allowed to purchase BP shaft as our customers want them in every club after experiencing them. No luck. Thats pretty much my take on the Type-G and who I feel it is best for. To summarize everyone with a slow to average swing speed & tempo loves these. Average players, women, seniors are all getting more distance and consistency from the new Maxima’s. Stronger players should go with the Type-V and Beyond Power Plus shaft. If your over 105mph we suggest a custom build with an aftermarket shaft.

Honma fans will be happy with this release finally a tour world series mallet with a simple yet stealth shape and theme. I say stealth because it kind of reminds me of one in black. Honma did a lot of testing with their professional players narrowing it down to a couple of shapes they really liked. Lets sort what it is first. It’s made of forged stainless steel that has been cnc milled. the sole panel itself is made of Aluminum while the weights are made of tungsten. You have two fourteen gram weights to increase the MOI. These are not adjustable weights. This mallet is obviously center shaft which most people believe aids the golfer who has the more straight back and through stroke with less arc. The face is milled deep for a soft feel. The head is finished in a matte subdued black. Honma did a great job on the shape. You can see they were very particular about all details and aesthetics intentionally leaving the mill marks not choosing to polish them off, everything seems intentional and well thought out.

Finally in stock again!

Pics of the prototype SEVEN X BENOCK putters. We are a couple months out from releasing the final models. All of which will be mallets!

Yes that is correct they plan to only sell through in person fitting dealers. TSG will be selling these as well not a problem. Mizuno does not sell well in Japan. The shoes yes but clubs not really. I find it funny that some brands are moving toward the past instead of the future. Doubling down on the retail sales model and pulling back from the web is very cave man. The exact opposite is happening in nearly all industries as malls are closing, brick and mortar anything can't compete, golf shops can only do volume at a huge expense while the brands that they bow to also deal directly to the customer now... btw multi layer finish is like NICR Satin like a seven putter. Here is where the 118's sit. Nob's care to explain this chart?

Top Line Photos and Sole Pics. While the M stands for Medium this iron has a thin top line with offset is like a blade. The cavity is very deep for its size. The leading edge is pronounced. The sole and the shape are the reason why the MCB is so easy to hit.

You and I are in the same boat. Left shoulder injury took almost a year to heal, then I got chronic plantar fasciitis and bicep tendonitis... after rehab, shots, steroids and plenty of time off.. I finally got better and I was cleared to work out again. Hurt my other shoulder 2 weeks later. My sport hobbies do not help. I am slowing the swing and playing lighter softer shafts now days.

Great to hear! Thank you for this review. All SEVEN MCB's are sold out as of today 7/18/17. It will be another 2 months before we get more and during those 2 months the back order will grow. It is likely we will be sold out before they arrive. This direct to consumer stuff is working. I doubt we would be selling as many if the head price was $600 ea.

Anything you want and you can even create your own options. It gets pricey but no one can touch Benock.
