Yea it came out a while back in Japan. When Jumbo was with bridgestone and had his own special line. That putter was part of it. Rare find indeed.

I've seen everyones stuff and Sasaya as at a much different level. when it comes to modding or refurbs you really do get what you pay for.

RD requires many players to play a longer length and slow down their tempo for good results. If you only want 45" and expect to keep a quick tempo it's not for you.

Just remember Crazy is a shaft co. They focus on shafts while the only other thing they really make would be the wedges. I can totally understand why they would use JBEAM. Their stuff is outstanding!

ZOMO has been dead for a long time. I miss the Premium Zones too. Although I find a custom golds with the PZ milling and a heavy head to be the better feel and roll.

They compare pretty well. Visually the TS is a bit more rounded while the RC is sharper and a little more edgy. I haven't compared the two side by side but overall TourStage lofts tend to play true. You may want to check the lie angles and other specs to make sure your getting a comprable setup to your old FW. Another I would look at is a custom Kamui with the perfect Lie and Loft for you.

There is 100% without any doubt that many countries including Japan can shape Titanium. He's correct that the majority of drivers are made in China but the best is still made in Japan and that's why TSG exists. If you want to get to the nitty gritty look at how many chinese factories re cast or mold recycled titanium then shape it. On a side note even JDM drivers made in China are of a different level than USDM. You can only squeeze in so much tech /materials /shaft into a 400 dollar driver vs a 1000 driver.

Smart move it's a great club at a great price.

Dale hit it on the button. Geotech is the real deal yes they use Chinese manufacturing sometimes but the quality to cost ratio is off the charts. It's a true value and they are always releasing great products. It's the most underrated brand I know of.

What's the problemo he's having? Where on the face is he missing it or what is his consistent negative result?

Oh they are known :o) It just hasn't been spoken yet

Great to have you back! If you or anyone else wants a nicely done avatar just PM with a general idea of what you want and I will create it and upload it to your profile. I don't know of any irons available with ZERO offset but minimal Yammy Tours, Romaro H Forged, Custom offset mizzys, CB1007, etc...

Thanks! Yea Tatsuro settled in on the Muzzik 787 Speeder in Stiff where as he is usually a White Board X kinda guy. He's hit the Diamana X but it was in a higher spinning AF-151 head which is not a good match for him.

To me it looks like the 460 in shape and design. I'm not 100% as their were several variations of the 460 and they all looked like that.

It's really the head that does the magic in your combo. We can't pry the JBeam 425 Tour from Tatsuro's hands. We have tried it with Crazy, Muzzik, Basileus, Quadra over the last 10 months and It doesn't matter to much the result is similar. super low spin rates, very straight and accurate. The shafts changed dispersion and consistency but thats about it. We even had guys who only play 8.5* drivers get the same trajectory as JBEAM 425 in 10* yet with better spin rates.

1 search on google and dozens of pics of the cb1006 came up. good luck finding comparison shots. Have you considered cb1007/5003? custom mizzy combo would be killer as well.

That thing is a beauty. Congrats on your sexy putter it's a work of art!

Isn't that a picture of the 460? I don't think the 380 and 420 are as good as the 460 in terms of distance and forgiveness. Me personally I would only pick up the 460 technity. Sorry if I confused you guys.

Kamui's custom fairway woods are simple clean designs hand made with premium SUS630 body and cold forged Maraging face. Maraging steel is stronger than SUS630 so can be made thinner providing soft feel and POP off the face at impact thanks to higher elasticity. The new Ray heads are considered mid to smaller sized heads with a pear shape and a very handsome mid height face profile. Kamui Works uses TIG Welding (by hand) to attach the face to the FW body. Because this is all done carefully by the hands of top Kamui Works craftsmen, there is very little margin of error when it comes to loft and face angle. You order 15.5* and that's what you get. Kamui Ray 3W Loft is 15* and plus minus 1* (we have seen them do 1.5 to 2.0* more) Head weight is from 208g to 225g. (this is great for those who want a 42" or shorter 3W!!) Lie is from 58* to 60* (again we have seen them go as flat as 56-57*) Face angle is open 1* to closed 2* (2* open is certainly doable!) Kamui Ray 5W Loft is 18* and plus minus 1* Head weight is from 215g to 234g. Lie is from 59* to 61*. Face angle is open 1* to closed 2*. Kamui Ray 7W Loft is 21* and plus minus 1* Head weight is from 225g to 243g. Lie is from 60* to 62*. Face angle is open 1* to closed 2*.

WOWOW I would love to see that if you have a link!!

That setup is very good provided you like the shaft. I like those heads and if you fit lighter graphite in irons it's a good match.

We tested the Z-UTi vs Hi610 T.S hands down to the Z-UTi for performance and looking down at it. This is me average player and 2 0 hcp'ers. It was in easy agreement. But in the end a lot depends on how your eye feels about the two clubs.

If it's cheap go for it. I love that driver. It's old but its a classic. Feel is superb! It can still hang with what's out now.

GSS is the exact material make up as Japanese SUS303. Master Sasaya did metallurgy testing on this.

The Ryoma flies a bit lower than other drivers at the same loft. It's a nice penetrating trajectory with low spin. Most low spin drivers are pretty unforgiving but this Ryoma packs both. At 100mph I would personally go for the Special Tuning model. It's almost sold out btw. The D-1 driver is broken up into 3 models: Ryoma D-1- Conforming Forged monocoque body and Titanium TDW face. Champagne Gold IP Finish and Black Metallic Crown. Standard 45.25" length 9.5* (0* Face), 10.5* (0.5* Closed), 11.5* (1.0* Closed), HT13* (1.5* Closed) Shaft mid kicking Tour AD FS-1 ranging from 44-66g and 3.0-5.0* of torque depending on flex Ryoma D-1 Premia - Conforming Forged monocoque body and Titanium TDX face. GOLD IP Finish, Crystal Brown/Black Crown. Standard 46.5" length 8.5*(0* Face), 9.5* (0* Face), 10.5* (0.5* Closed), 11.5* (1.0* Closed) Shaft mid kicking Tour AD Premia ranging from 42-48g and 3.9-4.8* of torque depending on flex Also available as HEAD ONLY 188-200g Ryoma D-1 V-Spec - Conforming Forged monocoque body and Titanium TDW face. Black IP Finish, Black Metallic Crown, Standard 45.25" length 8.5*(0.5* Open), 9.5* (0.5* Open), 10.5* (0* Face) Shaft mid kicking Tour AD V-SPEC ranging from 54-66g and 3.0-4.2* of torque depending on flex Also available with custom shafts or HEAD ONLY 188-200g
