Miura forging
More Controversy..lol Ok so please click here: Miura Manufacturing Techniques Then Click "See Details" Steps 1,2,3 are done at Tada MFG. Step 4 is done at Miura. I don't consider that Miura forged but I can see how it can be marketed that way. I never spoke with Andy but around the same time we exposed Scratch Golf for using S25C not 1018 as advertised I spoke with Bill H. Bill H had vague answers. Keep in mind I already knew the skinny and asked him if miura forges their clubs in their 2 buildings, he said they had another factory in Himeji they own. He described Tada mfg. Cool I know that place! I contacted them through my contacts and Miura doesn't own any of it. Called Bill H back his story shifted to they own the Majority of it. I confirmed that was not the case either... Never returned my call or email after that. Really I don't care they make a great product. They grind heads very well and the tolerance is tight. They also have a very nice finish to their clubs. I think those are the pro's. Con's well its spin welded 2-D design which saves them money on tooling. Dated and more traditional manufacturing. It's more crafting than high end manufacturing. My sources are super legit!

I received dozens of emails from members wanting to snatch up our demo clubs at great prices. How it works is we get these at a reduced price and sometimes even free for testing and evaluation.

So what's available? 2011 Kenmochi KD-01 w/ Crazy CB46 SR SOLD 2011 Crazy CRZ-460 10* Head Only 9/10 Condition w/ light sky mark...........350.00 SOLD 2011 TourStage X-Drive 455 10.5* Head Only 9.999/10 Mint..........350.00 SOLD 2011 TourStage X-Drive 415 9.5 Head Only 9.9999/10 Mint............350.00 SOLD 2011 Yonex 380 10* Head Only 9.9999/10 Mint........280.00 SOLD 2011 ONOFF XI-S Driver 9* Stock Stiff Shaft...........400.00 2011 JBEAM Tour-425 w/ Muziik 787 Stiff 9.999/10 Mint.........1000.00 SOLD 2011 Miura Giken Hybrid 23* w/ Ozik Altus X-Flex 9.999/10 Mint...........300.00 2011 Srixon Z-TX 10.5 Kusala SR Flex 9.99999/10 Mint.............350.00 2011 JBEAM 445HG w/ Crazy TJ-46 Nero 10* 9.99999/10 Mint..............800.00 SOLD Other Products Available at Silly Prices: New Denis Chand Yururi Flat Back JPGA Backup set Brand New.......1300 Awaiting Payment New Yururi Rupas 52/56/60 Set ..........250.00 for all 3 Heads New Yururi Tour Wedge 58* Conforming...........89.00 New Yururi Tour Wedge 50* Non Conforming.........89.00 Awaiting Payment from Ihatebogies.

Royal Collection VS Tour
It's the JP series that my contacts in Japan are saying stay away from. The rest is the same product as Japan BUT notice the pics are small and don't show the TRC's saying the JP name on it. It's because they don't exist yet supposedly.
-
Royal Collection VS Tour
Rumor is that RC is coming back to the U.S under a different name and product in 2012 with some really bad product. There was a bit of a battle within and the bad guy's won. Stick with RC Japan product and your safe. You guy's see the new blades in the proshop?
-
Royal Collection VS Tour
I would recommend quite a few other drivers before suggesting RC for the big dog. Are you trying to create an RC only bag?

PRGR EGG Fairway Wood or Spoon

2 wedge set up advice 52 + 56/57
I play 52/58 combo usually. I have issues with the 105 ish range. I can get my 52 to 105 but consistency suffers as sometimes I over swing. I de loft it a bit with a forward press and i lose the stop and drop result I desire at that range.

JDM wedge triumvirate
Nice, I totally agree that the Fourteen V5 T.S is one easy to hit wedge.

Now with full speed video - 140mph swing speed/221mph ball speed
That's wild! 140 is serious business, Do you swing that fast when your playing a round?

compare Epon 302/502/702
Of all 3 I'm only big on the 302. 302: Its a slightly larger than compact players CB, nice rewarding feel when hit center. Forgiving for a players CB and one of the best feeling out there. 502: Pretty forgiving, but there are better feeling ( this ones a bit numb ) just as forgiving irons out there with less offset I would suggest. Go Titleist VG3 over these or ONOFF Forged 2011 702: Same forgiveness as 701 but in a better feeling by a good margin. lots of offset, very long distance due to multi piece design. I would go PRGR Egg Forged.

Best driver face material?
pretty much for feel. Truth is that brands can name the same material face differently with only the slightest adjustment. Really I have no tech data to say which is better. It's just my favorite drivers always have Endo manufactured or DAT55G faces.
-
Best driver face material?
Endo Forged Proprietary VL Titanium, ELF Ti both which are Cup faces and Japanese made DAT55G are my top picks.

TourStage 2011 905 Limited Edition Blade
It's pretty easy with a buffing wheel, compound, and for cavity backs I use a dremel tool to hit the tiny spots. I just hate how time consuming it is. Here are some comparo pics. PW: 6i

TourStage 2011 905 Limited Edition Blade
That was me who wrote the blog. If you look at the top of the posts it will say TourSpecGolfer or Gocchin and have our little avatars next to it. In regards to the brushed satin "look" I tape of certain areas and put a couple of different brushing wheels to it. Here are some example pics of clubs that used to be shinny chrome: Before the process:
