I would say go Ryoma, Crazy, or Kamui.

Are you talking the Shingo Pro Spec? If you like that try the new Type-S they look very similar as the new Type-S is based on the pro spec but a bunch of tweaks were made to make it easier to hit plus more distance. It's considered a mid trajectory hybrid.

The fact that forged clubs are much more expensive to produce I'm sure plays a big role in this also. It doesn't help that the USDM market is more budget oriented. No matter the application Forged tops cast. Iron/wedge heads. Forged Ti driver faces vs cast Ti and in the automotive industry look at all the high performance vehicles, they used Japanese forged pistons and rods while economy cars utilize casting.

V-Forged is a fantastic iron, not as soft as the ONOFF but it feels superb. It's very forgiving maybe just a hair less than the ONOFF. So I say the V-Forged wins in setup and soft/solid feel while the ONOFF in forgiveness and softness. 905CB is pro level again. New X-Blade 707 is worth considering as I think you will need more forgiveness.

Great Shot Dale! I still love the NS950/1050/1150. I have no issues playing NS950 in my irons, feels outstanding, it's a stock offering and it lands soft on greens. I can forward press and lower the flight or pop the ball up high with ease. I notice I hit longer irons easier with the 950 as well. On Yamaha irons. I have never played a full round with the Tour's. BogeyDog is making me wish I kept the set. V-Forged non tour is pretty outstanding as well.

Good points Spoon, I've felt some pretty amazing cast clubs ala Fourteen TB1000 proto but if you take the best feeling cast club and put it up against the best feeling forged club there is no comparison. night and day. game over! I think just your average decent feeling forged head will feel just as good if not better than the best cast head.

Me too! I can't handle any of those shafts for an entire 18. Stew are you saying CB50 if you could only choose one?

only about a half degree.

They like adjustability. Without it the R11 wouldn't rank the same.

OnOFF Forged is an amazing iron for a wide range of player. The Yamaha is a low capper cb. You being an 18 it was a good decision to go with the OnOFF.

Yup they export J.I.S grade materials from Japan to Thailand. They have several huge factories there but keep in mind they are also producing medical equipment & forged pistons for F-1 cars etc..

One thing I love about the new TS Gear is that it's beginning to trend toward more forgiveness. I like where the new 707 driver and irons sit in the scheme of things. I'm personally a GR kinda guy. Hope these charts help you get a picture of what model would best fit you. I'm curious as to where TSG'ers sit so please participate in the poll.

Hey Henry, I really liked the new GR Forged and yes it's made by Endo.

Yup just graphics and a good cause.

I don't think the 50T or 80T will make much of a difference in this case. I think overall the FW80 has a softer profile and the 80T provides extra stability. For the meer mortal the Sigma is not the easiest to handle. You are no mortal with your 120+ mph swing speed and since you already have the FW80 perhaps you should give the Sigma a try.

What didn't work for me is 35" with 360 gram heads. I actually put best with a slightly lighter longer shaft. More Pics:

Yes it is made by Endo.

Who loved the ol Tri-Hot by Odyssey? It was one of my all time favorites along with the Bettinardi 360TR. It was expensive for a USDM putter mostly due to the finish, it's not a cheap one. It's a full tungsten piece not insert which also added to the cost. I'm fooling around with putters now on the search for a new gamer I may be settling in on a Tour Designs iX. It feels great! A little more firm than the Tri Hot but for sure softer. What was interesting is that a 360g head attached to a 33"shaft felt the same weight as a 340g head on a 35" shaft. On the putting monitor my stroke was more consistent with 35" although I'm only 5"10ish. I would always putt with a shorter length and a heavier head but am now making the move to a more upright stance which leaves me less handsy. Will post pics of the other models later tonight.

Yes we can get them. You can PM T if you need them now or wait a couple days until we have them in the proshop.

There is no official list. Just ask us in this thread, In most cases we can figure it out by design, materials and brand history.

Choose the shaft that best fits your swing. You haven't specified what Crazy shaft your considering against the X.

I think ONOFF for FW & UT is a good bet. feel/performance/price is all there. Ryoma would be premium. Also the new Titleist VG3 FW/UT is severely underrated. By RC there's the VS Tour FW & the new 505 UT.

I have two sets available brand new taper tip. They have a cool smoked finish to it.

983E w/771TA X! Classic! Maybe you can handle the TS. I understand now, your used to that type of club. Let us know how it goes.

If they were mint it would be a different story but I think 400-500 is a good estimate from what's in the pics.
