These will start shipping soon. If you reserved yours with Tario expect to get an invoice soon.

I'm in FW hell right now. I found my optimal combo to be the EGG II + Crazy FW80, I tried the Egg HD w/ FW80 and its just a bit too low for my swing, I also have the Ryoma F3 which I absolutely love its forgiveness and hitting it off the Tee box but from an uneven lie I have issues getting it in the air as well. Now with the stock shafts I get these woods up in the air just fine but I just can't count on my consistency like I do with the FW80 shaft. I would dump the most shots hitting 3 woods right or left. The FW80 has saved me countless strokes over the past year or so. Guess what... New Egg's coming in just a couple of months. Me is waiting!

Haven't you heard that sheep turds are the "IN" thing now? I'm having a GF putter made covered with them.

A very rare look into the mind and philosophy of Master Masayuki Sasaya of Gold's Factory. In this video you will get to see some extreme face milling being done by hand. I had a lot of fun making this Video, It's always a pleasure to spend time with Sasaya-san of Gold's Factory. I'm Not sure what I enjoyed the most, the food, the drinks or watching him do what he does best in the GF Studio. <!-- This version of the embed code is no longer supported.

Wha! U don't like the sheep? without that sheep or the rabbit golf wouldn't exist! Nothing like the bold, that would be pretty rough to do on any iron for any maker, altering CG can be done to some extent.

Is that your putter in your Avatar? Yes you can remove everything if you want. Even the main Buchi logo can be shrunk and put into the cavity.

It's the only Forged Ti driver TM makes, Expensive yes but I'm sure a lot has gone into the R&D side of it. It's the only TM driver I would play.

Last year at the 2012 Japan Golf Fair we met up with a brand called Tabuchi that looked to have some potential. They were not ready for release and really had no projected sales date. About 2 weeks before the 2013 show we got an email from them asking us to come to their headquarters in Tokyo. A little bit of background and maybe Tario can chime in to fill any gaps. Solid Contacts... Remember them? The brand that used to sponsor Ryo Ishikawa. Anyway SC was purchased by a large elevator and electronic door company called Fuso Dream and renamed Tabuchi after a popular grinder based in Himeji. Now with over 60 accounts in Japan they are ready to do business on an international stage. It's an interesting brand concept everything is produced one off, custom made for the consumer. It looks pretty cool right? Well what were showing you is a head that has a ton of stamping options on it, thats right I said options as in you get to move things around, delete or add one of many logo's available. But wait theres more... Do you think the below iron has too much or too little offset? Well you get to go either way by 1mm. 0 offset not a prob, goose neck by request... ok! btw here is that irons back face which I think would look good nearly blank with just 1 logo. Irons & wedges take about 4-6 weeks depending on what options you choose. How about options such as a copper underlay, RAW milled faces on brushed satin plated heads, even leading edge & trailing edge relief or custom top line and toe grinds, Tabuchi-san has got you covered. The company is still relatively young but off to a great start. Hopefully they become the Gold's Factory of the Iron & Wedge world. All models in this thread are the standard Japan releases, while in Japan we designed the Global versions which have a more minimal appearance when it comes to stamping as well as some slight shape adjustments and from there you guys will be able to add your own personal flare to it. More Pics...

We all hit it, I'll put up a TM Golf show post in a few days. Well it's long, I mean the last Gloire driver was played by men and women on the JPGA many players bagged it. super forgiving too. This new one is even more forgiving, not sure on distance until we get one on the course but it does feel unique, ya know the face isn't Titanium. It's basically plastic. It's got a large hitting area and especially high on the face. It's also got a very deep face. Pics and posts to come this week.

Yessir

They look ok from my limited knowledge at this point but I would say these are probably stolen while the factory was producing test samples. If you care about performance at all you want to wait for the real thing. If Ryoma was happy with it's performance they would have released it already.

Type-R is an addition to the line up. The current RomaRo UT along with all their latest products 435/460 HX, Most of the Irons, FW, etc. were just released mid 2012 so it isn't going anywhere. Type-R doesn't replace the previous woods either, it just maintains the playeresque profile while providing a higher trajectory and ease of use.

These appear to be stolen from the factory. It's dangerous because Ryoma isn't satisfied with the performance yet and thats why the April release date. This was the same case for the D-1 and D-1 Special Tune, they were delayed so long because due to performance issues.

Thanks F1, I hope they can stick to that release date.

Anyone play the S-Yard GT Type S Forged CB? It's a K.K design, Hit it then compare to the AF302, It's the same setup, the same amazing feel but with a better sole grind and at a much better price.

Range & round yesterday with the T.388 and a few others, T.388 is the winner, it flew straighter had more overall distance and felt a lot better than the rest. It's in the bag firmly now.

That's some major bad mojo man and I feel for you, I dont understand we ship thousands of boxes each year I can only recall 3 going missing but that was in the last 10 years and we of course we covered it so the customer is always happy.

Lots of differences especially in the heads shape which is always more shallow, the head weights are lighter and the internal weighting also because the swing speeds are slower the materials are thinner so we shouldn't try to smash our wifes driver as it may cave the face. Women who swing hard do best with lighter mens drivers. I know a few gals that play the Ryoma Premia including my wife.

The Type-R releases = more forgiving & easier to hit yet with the same great setup. So many great Irons by RomaRo. I'm also itching to try the Ray-H which I'm late to the party for.

+1 and I did read what was said about them in the forum here. Then I noticed the Labo dept has been building a lot of the new 13 Forged with them and quite a few of our non posting customers were emailing in that it was the best combo they have had. I took the leap and noticed improved consistency in results over the short period of time these have been in the bag, The rewarding soft delicious head feel has not been compromised at all and it keeps the trajectory in check for me.

RomaRo iBrid is a sleeper. Highly recommend this club.

The T.388 is imo the best smaller headed driver on the market, or dare I say ever made... but if you guys want big forgiveness, distance, feel in a larger head. S-Yard XT Forged driver. It's stupidly amazing. It's a Kobayashi design. Tario can go over the experience he has had with it and what a few of our customers have emailed us, this driver deserves its own thread.

I believe they are still available, you may want to double check with Tario if you are serious about getting a set.

I'm seeing everyone who gets it loves it, haven't seen any negative reviews yet
