I would go flat silver finish with a polished sole, maybe a tiny non circle G in the cavity turned at an angle and something sentimental in the cavity. PZ milling across the face, a couple tungsten weights in the face. If it needs balancing one big one small. complicated paintfill, sasaya can do a sort of gradient look as well. matching muziik grip.

Her clubs are coming in, I'm just going to post them as they arrive. First up is her new Ryoma Premia driver 11.5* with a mens stock R2 flex shaft. She was playing epon prior to this and during our recent round at Hirakawa country club Ryoma was kind enough to send us 3 drivers for personal use. Jacque gained a good 10 yards with this one and decided to put it in the bag. More to come, her new PRGR woods are on the way.

Good news is that the Fujikura staff is all safe and accounted for now. The factory is within the 12 mile radius of the nuclear plant so it will be a while before they can assess the damages or return. It's just one of their many locations, their main office is still up and running.

I want to update you on some of the companies in the Japan golf industry that have taken a big hit. In Fukushima prefecture Fujikura Rubber ltd has been evacuated and families of employees are concerned about their safety. 60 employees are missing and portions of the building have collapsed. Fujikura Rubber ltd plant is located only 11km from the Otaka nuclear power plant that was damaged during the earthquake. The evacuation zone has been placed under the control of the SDF. Yonex has taken some damage and they are urgently looking for missing employees. SRI sports confirms 200 of their accounts are out of contact either missing or un reachable. Nike Golf Japan is unreachable, Mizuno Golf is having a very hard time contacting many of its shop accounts in hard hit areas. As far as courses go, 9 courses in Ibaraki are closed an additional 26 courses across Japan are reporting huge cracks in the ground. Miyagi GC has holes in the ground and many of the Fukushima courses are not open. The damage to these courses are is pretty bad. By tomorrow I will have more information on the hardest hit golf companies, Below is some video I found on youtube showing somewhere in Fukushima pref.

What model crazy shaft are you looking at? -
Diamana thump iron shaft or Crazy or steel fiber
TourSpecGolfer replied to rjklein4470's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
yea it's that the 3,4, and wedge shafts are the only ones they have extra of. I will inquire in a few days about some ways to get around that. -
Thanks Ant and everyone for your support, I've been in close contact with our accounts, partners, and shipping agents over the last few days and I gotta applaud them for how resilient they have been. Many Japanese golf brands worked over the weekend to get things back to working order by today which is monday in Japan. The shipping companies are not servicing the hard hit area's but luckily pretty much all of our OEM's and suppliers were not located in those areas. I've spoken with EMS who ships most of our product and everything is being picked up as usual starting today in the safe areas. The delay is minimal, far shorter than I expected and it seems many parts of Japan are back in business. We are thankful and happy that our friends, family, and associates in Japan are doing fine, TSG is currently researching the best charities so that we can begin fundraising. Red cross is always awesome and TSG has made a donation to them after we found out they were accepting them but as of now Japan has not officially requested funds or blood yet. We are waiting to find out what charities can make the biggest difference for the people of Japan and then plan to begin a fundraiser for those effected. Jacque and I were so touched to see our members pull together and support Tario & Stew through this horrible situation, I really didn't expect that level of connectivity, For some members it was their very first post...THANK YOU. It gave me a new perspective on how lucky we at TSG are to have such an amazing and giving group of individuals contributing to our community.

Ryoma - Field Testing w/Joe Average Golfer(S)
TourSpecGolfer replied to idrive's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
That's right, I can swing 108 and the result is a slice or pull. 98mph serves me best with distance and dispersion. -
Go X and hard step for a sub flex.

Never heard the turn over thing before, I highly doubt it.

I hear ya especially when the new 911 aka 991 2012 is coming very soon! Totally new vehicle! Im weird like that though, I want a 1974 Nissan Skyline with modern drivetrain and works wheels vs the new one. If I could afford a plane it would be the P-51 Mustang in black with LED's and a modern motor over a G4.

Ryoma - Field Testing w/Joe Average Golfer(S)
TourSpecGolfer replied to idrive's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
With a 10.5* V-Spec Ryoma driver stock stiff/regular shaft I lose the ball also. Aftermarket shaft was needed in my case! -
Sorry C, Fourteen doesn't offer heads only.

General BS Thread

Wow good question, maybe I scared them away.. -
Thank's frank, I thought this was about China? Ferrari and Patek are not Chinese brands nor do they contain chinese parts. I'm not attached to you agreeing with me but let's just go into this categorically. First let me say that Patek doesn't make the most accurate watch, it's amazing art, craftsmanship, detail no doubt. Does Japan have the equivalent watch or auto company like Ferrari or Patek, In my opinion NO but they do have products that are definitely more advanced technologically and superior in accuracy of function. Invisible solar cell and atomic timekeeping is something I don't see in China or Europe. Yes I would take a Patek over any Casio. Food Materials: Meat, Eggs, Fruit, Fish (hands down Japan's attention to detail, quality of feed, and care of livestock or produce make it best in the world) Autos: 1990 skyline 4 banger turbo can toe up with the latest Ferrari's and Lambo's. Porsche uses Japanese transmissions, Lotus uses Japanese parts. Today's sub 100k GTR eats exotics in the Ring stock and the everyday driver can reproduce straight line results with launch control. Ferrari, Lambo, etc.. are dangerous on wet roads. Electronics: Don't even have to get into this do we. Materials: Japan has the highest standard Steel, Carbon, Knives, Motor Oil, reference J.I.S standards versus every other countries. How does a country with almost ZERO natural recourses create such amazing things? It's the work ethic, attention to detail, focus on one thing and one thing only for life, the dedication. That's not found in Europe or the U.S at the same level, for sure its not seen in China. The Japanese still struggle to convince the world that their cars are as good as other countries auto's but it's not about convincing the world, it's about building the best possible product. look at Toyota Crown's they are 75k Camarys, nothing like a Camary but that wouldn't go over well anywhere else. China is mass production. They are able to manufacture affordable products which is great! most of the stuff in my life is made in China. I do drive American & European, I have a Breitling, and G-Shocks, but I am totally clear on what's insanely amazingly great vs just good and stylish. Just one man's opinion here.

Romaro RD01 iron review / information
TourSpecGolfer replied to golf-mass's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
Yea, very familiar with Romaro. It's made in Himeji, review comments in Japan were that some of the design features and aesthetics get in the way of function. Resale is not so hot as well, originally it was a spin off of Gauge Design Japan not so much now. I would suggest spending your money on something different. -
Tourstage 905CB vs Fourteen TC910
TourSpecGolfer replied to tincup975's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
The J38 I would assume are forged at Endo.
