I use both, and the modart MA01F. I like how the modart goes straight and makes nice turf interaction. It also has a low spin and low launch tracjectory. It's really nice with a heavy shaft with softer butt section for my swing. The Ryoma is longer, more comfortable for me off the tee, works very well with a nice heavy 75+g fairway wood shaft. I especially like it in a 5 wood. 3 wood is important for me on long courses. not workable but straight, spins higher than the modart and crazy. taller trajectory. Crazy full titan is if the modart and ryoma had a kid. I love everything about it but the shallow face that makes it easy to get airborne is also what I wish were a bit taller in height.

I am told that he uses one that performs very similar to the new TW-U. - https://www.tourspecgolf.com/japanese-golf-clubs/honma-tw-u-forged-utility-iron.html

They are cast, made in taiwan yet perform really nicely. The ICL-601 by Miura Golf was just announced and released in Japan. Its a driving iron with a hollow cavity and weight screw located on the sole. Miura designed this club as an optional replacement to the long irons in their forged iron sets creating a club easy to hit 200 yards and beyond. First thing to note is that its a driving iron and how that differs from a hybrid is the DI is basically a really forgiving long iron and in this case it is a hollow structure made of SUS304 in the body with a 455 carpenter steel face which is commonly used in fairway woods. The standard weight screw is 8g but Miura does offer optional 4/6/10/12g weights to help you dial it in. TSG can also custom order the weight you desire already installed at the factory. This head does have a good amount of offset but that is usually necessary to help square the club face up and hit straighter shots. If they went ahead and made this a straight neck it would be so much harder to hit than it is. The top line and shape is very attractive from its wide flatter sole to its clear blade top line all done in brushed satin to reduce glare. The CG is of course deep considering the weight location but also this head when hit was very tolerant of mistakes. On the grass range the consistent straight and medium / high ball flight was evident. I feel many Miura forged iron players should drop their long irons for one of these. Those who hit long irons better than hybrid woods should use a driving iron. Its flat sole with little bounce and camber makes perfect entry in dry or wet conditions. A little camber may be needed if you play in soggy conditions but its light years easier to hit than most 3 & 4 irons. Miura did not make this in Japan and they were very transparent about it being made at their Taiwan supplier. Because this head is made of steel there is no finish or plating its brushed as a SUS putter would be. Miura is offering 3 lofts 18/20/23 all 3 are heavy with the base weight of 8g at 232/238/244 grams. The Miura ICL-601 comes with a nice carbon look cover. The 23* is now shipping to customers while 18/20 will be released at the end of July 2017.

We can mill from raw sandvik or even use forged stainless. Those two options would not feel better than the forged S20C currently used. We tested SS400 also and while it was the softest it was not very durable and the loft would bend quickly. We removed the heat treatment from CB and MCB in the 2nd and 3rd production runs because we could not tell much of a difference and due to lead time and extra cost.

Mactec was a line in Mcgregor line up. They are still around.

Introducing the USA Exclusive Finish for the SEVEN CB – BLACK IP! Last week we posted the Korea Only GOLD IP exclusive (click here). Today we are highlighting our BLACK IP finish which will only be sole and shipped within the United States. Based on our more than 15 years in business its evident that American golfers gravitate to black finishes in their blades and cavity backs. This finish here is very durable and will not rust. The standard NiCR chrome finish is first applied then we send the heads into a factory for the Black IP treatment which bonds with the clubs original plating. The wear pattern will expose the standard finish in areas that make impact with the ball or turf. From above the SEVEN CB is one of the most beautiful players cavity backs on the market. In it’s black finish it looks even more dark and stealthy. From its full face milling to its CNC milled grooves the SEVEN CB and MCB are the highest quality irons made in Japan today and this Black IP finish is no different. When comparing various finishes such as IP, DLC and others It is evident that Japanese IP and DLC is far better than the same finish applied by Chinese factories. For your reference SEVEN will never produce anything in China and every process and material originates and done 100% in Japan. In our testing we found no difference in feel hitting the Black IP against the standard finish. The SEVEN CB is extremely forgiving for it’s size we believe it is the most forgiving 1 piece forged players cavity back to ever be made and furthermore it is very soft and addictive at impact yet not gushy. What you are looking at here is pure quality that represents the very finest Japanese manufacturing can achieve. Today on the PGA tour there are roughly only 3 players who use 100% CNC milled irons, RORY, ROSE, and D.Johnson all Taylormade Prototypes. Those are not made in Japan and do not have the same angles of milling. Brands such as PXG’s milled wedges and Taylormades RORS prototypes still show milling done in a circular fashion. You are now able to play full CNC irons made at a higher quality than even the best players in the world. We are now taking reservations for both the Korea Exclusive GOLD IP Seven CBs and the U.S Exclusive Black IP finish Seven CB’s.

Introducing the MacGregor Japan Tourney Classic IM-G5 Iron Master Putter! This putter is 100% made in Japan as a limited edition based on the original dating back to the 1930’s when it was named after Tommy Armor. Back in the 30’s to 40’s it cost only $8.00 brand new oh have time changed as today it costs almost $600 dollars. Back in the day there were three versions · IM straight neck · IMG gooseneck · IMGN Swan neck The number after the model name represents the length. IMG 5 → 35 inch. IM stands for Iron Master while the G stands for gooseneck. Players who play L style putters use them to avoid the left side. This head is 100% CNC milled of stainless steel in Japan. The quality is beyond anything MacGregor golf has ever produced. The heel weight is made of SS at 10 grams while the toe is 19 grams made of tungsten to promote a straighter roll. Its body is made of SS400 an extremely soft Japanese steel while the face milling has a cool wave effect to promote straightening of miss-hits. It comes with a wrench yet no extra weights ( sold separately ) It comes with a leather head cover along with a special Microfiber grip (69g) made by Muzik Golf. The putters shaft is the heavier 136 g “NS Pro” made by Nippon Shaft Co producing a stable stroke with moderate weight sensation. Its such a beautiful and well made putter and having putt with it myself I can say with confidence it is the best iteration of any L shape putter to hit the market to date. These will go quickly and TSG only has several in stock. You may purchase by ( clicking here ).

I am going to take all of your phrases to describe golf clubs from now on! - not unlike my farts - dense spring - sea sponge - cottage cheese with chives - unmelted candle wax - rubber on the rocks I love it thanks! Expect a royalty check for use of your IP.

Yes OT Tour is taper tip. I am excited about these but I have just recently tried the OT105 and like its smooth feel and noticeable kick. My assumption is that these new OTs will have a stiffer tip and be closer in profile to Fuji MCIs. October release though guys.

Each country will get their own exclusive models.

Yes for the states the exclusive model is Black IP !

These are not available in HK. It is Korea only.

15-3-3-3 is no DAT55G. Who is saying this? I too like the fairway woods because of the size and face shape. the woods and drivers are all great and I have hit them briefly but what I personally notice is ONOFF does not make the most stable or spin reducing woods. That is not a knock because they feel great, look great, distance is good and forgiveness is very good for the very small size. Hype doesn't equal anything especially in golf. The grandista you have is awesome. I think better than the ONOFF and on track with the Crazy. Jbeam TF-FW is another that is killer, Ryoma F, Maruman Shuttle NX. depends what you want. The straightest FW that gives me the least trouble is the Modart MA01FW with a heavy shaft BUT its distance is not the best.

I love this shaft.

Any of the TSG Club Works finishes would be a downgrade on the SEVEN Iron. We are taking the best finish in golf and bonding it with IP. We can also do double or triple IP which is not tested yet. We can do IP satin, matte, or mirror. The durability is outstanding. The head will not rust. The gold IP will fade in the impact areas to expose the original finish over time.

ntroducing the KOREA ONLY / SEVEN CB in Gold IP Finish! For those of you who don’t have an idea what the brand SEVEN is you can get up to speed here – ( Seven Blog Posts Click Here ) . So I can already hear gold lovers grumbling about the fact that this club will be exclusive to Korea. Why!? The answer is simple and it’s that Korea likes flashy finishes. Another thing worth noting is that SEVEN is focusing on bringing exclusive designs to the worlds three largest golf markets. USA, Japan, and Korea. Next week I will highlight what is in store for the United States! What we ask everyone to do is look closely at the details of the SEVEN CB. Its obvious that the quality is unrivaled. and no one including Epon, Miura, or PXG comes close to the way the SEVEN CB is manufactured, the J.I.S material quality and the fit/finish. By using 5 Axis milling machines with specialized software SEVEN has created the highest quality cavity back the golf world has ever seen. SEVEN is also boasting the highest manufacturing cost per head with their intention to cut out middle man keeping the retail price as low as possible thus giving the consumer the best product they can buy You are probably wondering how durable is this finish on these irons. First thing to understand is that the standard soft and very durable chrome mirror plating is applied first then a process done after which bonds the GOLD IP finish to the original plating. This means the irons will not rust, the GOLD IP is very durable but eventually wears in the impact zone. If your ball striking skills are half decent the wear pattern looks beautiful after many months of play. The above is what we feel is the perfect view from address. The offset/face progression numbers are exactly what golfers want: 4.5/5.0/5.5 very few clubs have this little offset and this would be equal or even less offset than even the smallest blades. The top line is thin but in perfect proportion to the body and shape, we have also implemented a clear top blade style which is why you dont see bead blast on the top line. The grooves are milled not pressed, the entire face has the tightest milling while the neck transition also has a light mill to show off how well this head is made. The toe extends past the top line not boxed or tear drop but in between for the perfect profile from all angles. he New GOLD IP SEVEN CB retails at $650 per head and while this is still considered very expensive each head cost more than $300 to manufacture and that isn’t including cad, and design fee’s. Simply put these are highest quality irons money can buy for now. Available for Korea shipping addresses only. If interested inquire with [email protected]

Would you like me to get more info on this for you?

I can tell you that I know more about how Miura clubs are made than Miura NA themselves. I know more about Miura's history than they do as I have been selling and playing Miura before the guys at NA new or old team even heard of the name. The people who supported that article are from Miura NA. Miura Japan knows better than to talk about this because there are far more educated people on this subject matter in Japan. I can quote Kobayashi former president of Endo " Spin Welded is not real golf clubs ". Many people in foundries know this in Japan. Everyone I have spoken to on the subject in China understand this as well. Spin welded hosels are a way to afford cheaper molds. Remember Titleist used to make clubs with Miura? The reason why they stopped then moved to Endo was due to the spin welded hosels. In Japan the factories that produce spin-welded ( only 2 of them ) and both keep it under wraps. Real molds cost 1.2 million for a set of 8 irons. These cost less than half. The hosel is the hardest part to produce molds for. Spin Welded hosels are also known as 2D heads in Japan. Spin welded hosels also cost less per head to buy. I love Miura, I support them, sold them for years and have a good relationship with both sides Japan and even now with the new U.S team. Great bunch of guys now run it. But I will not let people muddy the waters in the Japan golf market. let's be real here. Miura does not do the first presses of the forging themselves, they buy the heads in it's early yet most important stages their newly released (6/20/2017) models like the 5005 was released in Japan late 2013/ early 2014. Miura dealers are touting it as the most forgiving blade in the world. We have so much user feedback to pull from on these and the 5005 does not feel nearly as good as the 5003 or others due to that cavity and the forgivness is no different. There is so much bull shit going on and it's not only with Miura. The golf industry needs to be purged of this baloney.

Verts! Hope things are dandy for you! It will be mixed in the future. Some from Japan while others from Taiwan or China. I don't think people need to be caught up in that part. What I think needs to be addressed is how spin welded hosel heads are inferior to 1 piece heads. What we don't want is people glorifying cutting corners as a benefit when it comes to marketing. It spreads misinformation and there is too much of that right now.

Yes it is CB-1005 with custom grind and stamping. I used to own a set very similar that TSG ordered from Miura about 10+ years ago.

Yes popular shop, we are friends with them and yes they used to have the account but they fully know now they are not a dealer of SEVEN. once we moved to the zero dealers platform to bring the msrp back down to earth we had to cut everyone. It's pretty straight forward - regional distributors want 20% and shops want 100% profit so when you add that into the retail price of a golf club the CB and MCB cost $650 per head. F**k that I am going to remove all the middle men sell direct to consumer and the customer can buy the finest iron made for a much better price. Yes you can bend these and they are very soft to bend. The finish is more durable than any other on the market we have tested this in depth against other brands using fire, saws, nails, razors and hitting balls off concrete. I can say with certainty this is the best plated finish of any golf club on the market today in terms of durability and feel. One thing though - when ordering we can have the bending done with a special Jig at the factory as a major OEM would do. --- Dear America...

Almost sold out. Only 3 sets left.

Dear Korea...

They have been making in China for a very long time. Drivers almost always. Just keep in mind they cant produce drivers or forged or multi piece golf clubs. They do have casting machines but have not used it in a long time.

Kinda funny is shops in S.E asia are purchasing these from our proshop full price then putting them on display in their store. SEVEN has ZERO dealers other than TSG but these guys want to look like they carry it.
