  1. Only 5000 will be made! If you want one please pre book with Tario ASAP! These will not last long. Diamana has gone to its own MCHC Group (Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Corporation) in order to develop an all new 78t high grade carbon Mitsubishi incorporates a new manufacturing technology they developed called Tough-QURE. Its a new technique used for carbon fiber composite moulding which allows Mitsubishi to cure carbon prepregs at a lower temperature and faster speed. The faster speed allows Mitsubishi two benefits, one to incorporate Black Copolymer Technology which increases durability and two less resin flow which creates carbon that allows for better and more consistent formability thus great for a perfectly rounded shaft with less deformation and inconsistencies.
  2. "the sling you get with roddio is unmatchable form the other makers." Love it, I agree that it has that special "sling" to it.
  3. BTW for anyone interested in custom finish Epon irons TSG can get you irons or wedges in Chrome, Satin, Copper, & Black. We can even have text laser engraved into the sole for you.
  4. Hey Rob, You can PM or Email Tario or myself with any questions you have. Many of our members have both drivers as well so there is a wealth of info for you here.
  5. I agree with idrive on the Epon 152. That is the closest I have found to the 460ZR so far. If you like mute the Yonex 380 feels excellent. Jbeam's are also firm great feel as well.
  6. nice putter, would be sweet to have an insert installed a couple of ingots & a refinish by Gold's
  7. The spin rates are a little higher but when you match it together with a shaft that minimizes that you should get a boost in distance.

    http://www.golfmall.co.jp/ This site is very different...:)
  9. He's back! Those suckers look fantastic! They will look even better with a little bit of wear. Are you a head cover guy for irons J?
  10. Tatsuro only plays X but in the Muziik stiff is all he can handle. Talk about accurate drives, the guy sends it 280-300 all day without missing fairways.
  11. It's Materials and the design behind the face are the two biggest differences. It's also got the super thin crown they called integrated power body.
  12. We gotta do it now!...lol It's gonna be what everyone looks forward to. Stew eating crow when the latest TM driver becomes his all new time favorite..;) Tatsuro is coming this year so we can pass that off to him.
  13. Actually the gentlemen out number the young guys here at TSG by quite a large margin. Will always favor the hardcore originals, even if it smells like moth balls in here...;)
  14. Just an FYI, be careful of head only RBZ's floating around. The rejects or fakes were released 2 months before the real thing. They are also identical.
  15. Same here a new VG3 would be perfect. Not sure how they can improve on the last one.
  16. Minus the blue pieces it would look pretty nice.
  17. No problems, from what I hear is only their top accounts were offered it and asked to pre book. Everyone's prebook was insanely huge which Ryoma was not expecting. Something about Hi-Cor these days.
  18. Nothing on the near horizon from Epon at the moment.
  19. I'm in the same boat as you guy's waiting for my Ryoma Special Tune. It's not been released yet and I apologize for the delay. In a couple of weeks we are meeting with Ryoma in Tokyo. Hopefully their plan was to release it at or around the time of the Japan Golf Fair. Yes the club is happening!
  20. The Ezone is no slouch. I just think the Miura feels so nice and soft.
  21. Yes the Rupas will look rather large compared to the blade PW. http://www.golftoimpress.com/2011-miura-giken-mb-5000wa-forged-wedge/ I was playing a round with Tatsuro Oshimoto TSG Club Tester and Pro Golfer and asked him to write a few words on the MB5000WA. Miura MB-5000wb Wedge Review The MB 500WB wedge by Miura is very simple and clean looking, like any other clubs they produce. This wedge has a long neck, thin top line, and a very compact head. It is a true players club. The head is smaller than most premium wedges on the market today. This wedge is one of the softer feeling wedges today, but you do have to get used to looking at a slightly smaller design. Out of the fairway, every shot felt very soft and gave me immediate feedback. One thing that I did notice is that on full shots, I was hitting this wedge about 5-8 yards shorter that other wedges with the same specs. (If you’re not worried about that extra few yards, this wedge is great for feel.) As far as spin goes, I did not notice a great amount of spin. The ball was stopping pretty well on the greens, but I think it was due to the soft forging and design of the head. I noticed that the ball came off very soft, almost floating off the clubface on full shots as well as shorter shots around the green. Out of the rough the compact head design worked very well. It cuts through the heavier grass with no problems while getting the ball to land softly on the green. The wedge worked just fine out of the bunker, but you may have a bit trouble on finer grain sands due to the lower degree of bounce. Overall, As I mentioned, this wedge does go a bit shorter that the rest on full shots but it's accurate, feels great and has a nice compact setup.

    Gun blue in general doesn't hold up so well. Raw polished, well that depends on a couple of things. First how humid it is in your neck of the woods and secondly how well you take care of your wedges. Hand done finishes usually don't hold up so well.
