I would compare the ONOFF S-Forged to the Vokey Forged instead of the labospec.

I'm hooked on the FW80.

Deal or no deal - Yuyuri wedges
TourSpecGolfer replied to swisstrader's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
I originally sold those to someone. They are the Jersey logo Seida wedges. I like them. The condition is not so hot though. It's a very forgiving wedge, nice and soft I think it has mill marks. -
Played another round with the Fiamma 60S yesterday w/Ryoma head. Pros: - Love the looks - Love the feel - Love the kick Cons: - Dispersion too wide - Fragile Finish
-
Egg II is for sure longer than the RBZ and easier to hit. The Ryoma can keep up with the Egg II provided you got the right shaft. I sold my Egg for no good reason. I need to shaft my Ryoma F2 up as with the stock shaft I don't get that FW80 straight shot Love so much.

Golf club insurance......cheap alternative to feeling sorry
TourSpecGolfer replied to Spoon's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
Yes a clear bra would be the way to go. -
Yesterday played 18 at Dragon Ridge and it was my first time gaming a 64*. I love them out of the bunkers alls i had to do was open it up smash/slide the club head into the sand behind the ball, the results were easy outs with no fits. Mentally the 64* took me on a ride though, My brain could not accept this thing only went 50 yds. if I could just squeeze another 10 I could utilize it a lot more. pic

The TM adjustable/interchangeable technology weighs 6-9 grams. That's no good. All of them are that heavy. It puts the designer in a box and limits them really all in the name of adjustability. TM is stuck they should go back to non adjustable designs. It's a marketing guys dream and a club designers nightmare. It's Japanese not Japs, please.

george spirits gt450 driver by Crazy ?
TourSpecGolfer replied to robbie's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
Crazy actually says for most players the CRZ-450 is optimal. Lots of people love this head. Heres a pic of the Crazy version: -
More forgiving than most. they are on the small side but not what I would consider compact.

I think this proves something....
TourSpecGolfer replied to mygreenaliem's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
It's funny how some can keep a longer shaft in the fairway better than a shorter one. On the LM longer shafts consistently have more head speed. but if your not hitting it center that will do little for your score. -
I agree that the AF-Tours are tops.

JDM Exotic Brands vs. JDM Named Brands
TourSpecGolfer replied to Henry's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
Not saying this applies to gbs but generally we see guys buy X-Series tourstage product and complain when they aren't able to maximize performance either through a lack of swing speed, ball striking accuracy, etc... It's a series designed mostly for pro level players who request a more firm feedback giving feel or workability and compactness in a club. GR fits a wider array of player and so does ViQ but X Series you gotta have some umph. -

TourSpecGolfer replied to mygreenaliem's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
you will lose head speed no doubt but gain a bit of accuracy. Also keep in mind many driver shafts will be ruined cutting them that short. -
It reminds me of NGS shafts, the president/designer used to work for them. Ive got the fiamma in a Ryoma now and agree with gbs its got good feel. I just need better dispersion.

The usa doesnt know whats its missing with these endo forged beauties! Another nice wedge is the JDM TM ATV forged.

Beat Takeshi is one of my favorite Japanese actors loved his work in "Zatoichi" the blind swordsman. -

JDM Exotic Brands vs. JDM Named Brands
TourSpecGolfer replied to Henry's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
I think its more product by product. Some niche JDM brands make both great and not so great products. Yes Ryoma and their drivers and FW woods. Btw I know designers for BIG OEMs who praise the D-1 driver big time. Crazy shafts well there is nothing better and I dont foresee anyone in the near future beating them as they really do spare no expense when it comes to their shafts materials, designs, and tech. We cant really discount the big JDM brands though they have it down pact. I dont really understand golfers who play only one brand of clubs completely. Its about picking the right individual club for their most common shots or faults. -
Akira 3w M215 Joins Baby Brother and Sister
TourSpecGolfer replied to bogeydog's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
yup the one you got there is for the low capper. It's deeper than the M215 I used to play. -
Old JDM drivers - your opinions please
TourSpecGolfer replied to Ian-500's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
I don't think any of them represent JDM drivers very well. Even on a super tight budget I can think of so many better clubs. None of those are very forgiving. If I had to give the nod to any of those it would be the Yamaha. I hope your not paying much for these. They are dated. -
We brought in most of the main Basileus shafts and none of them really impressed. I wanted to like them because they are so darn pretty but in the end compared to Crazy, Quadra, Graphite Design it didn't hold up on the track man. It looks awesome, feels nice, but doesn't perform as well as others we offer.

all titanium is shaped in china.. what does this mean
TourSpecGolfer replied to supo's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
Russia used to be the largest supplier of Ti scraps from back when they dismantled much of their military. Those scraps have dried up for the most part.
