  1. The Survivor AP is stunning, I have a weakness for blacked out watches. The 55k price tag is a hard pill to swallow as well. Thank you for sharing your images, your one lucky son of a gun to to hit the course with those guys. What kind of AP does one need to get in that game?
  2. I'm pretty sure he is exclusive on particular clubs and accessories while his fairways and perhaps more are open or reserved for what he prefers. Shingo has always had style about him. He has helped lead golf fashion in Japan for many years. He is a character no matter where the venue is located and if I remember correctly is rarely injured, out, and has longevity in his career and is a valued asset to Daiwa ONOFF. I wonder what that asset cost them
  3. Shouldn't be a problem. I will order one up and take pics!
  4. When I make impact with my irons my hands are always in front of the club head. With wedges they are usually where they where when I started and same for the woods. I am a student of Bret Smith and he has helped me big time in trapping the ball with conviction and really going after it which has helped me lower my ball flight and increase my distance.

    The price vs design & quality. Lets start with the woods, they are not original designs they simply stamped their logo and graphics on some very cheaply made older heads. It would be a bit better if they used newer blanks but these are very low on the totem poll as far as chinese blanks go. Anyone has the ability to purchase these old heads for dirt cheap and do the same. In regards to their irons, wedges, etc.. No R&D just a design concept that's interesting and different not necessarily good. They do a great job making their product look cool using CNC milling but that doesn't make a quality product in my opinion. We have had many upset customers for example order 2 wedges and one of them only has half a face of milling or one head can clearly be a defect and Yururi dont care they will ship it out to our customers anyway. IMO its because they have a staff of 1, the owner. If he is traveling or busy your product will not ship out, our requests are not responded to. We have had customers order 2 wedges and 1 has major offset the other has none and its the same product. We have had customers who purchase irons and all the lie angles are exactly the same throughout the set. Or the set has 2 #7 iron lofts in the set... I can go on and on. But wait there is more.... Its a major pain to get them to honor a warranty of any type. We have to fight tooth and nails to get them to acknowledge their mistakes and send the proper product to the customer. Looking at the numbers we sell very very little Yururi products compared to other brands but still the % of complaints on the actual product itself is very high. So honestly guys, I would stay away. I suggest a brand that spends big bucks on R&D for the club you spend money on? I suggest a brand that manufactures their product with good quality control and most of all does business in a clear and honest manner. There are literally dozens of brands I will suggest with confidence over Yururi.
  6. It's a decent driver, For the price its very good. Not really known as anything special but it performs on the level that most drivers do now days. The trajectory is a bit lower than most 10.5's in my opinion but with the stock shaft it may fly a bit higher than you have experienced from other 10.5's. If your on a budget its worth a look. Geotech is another brand that produces great clubs at a good price.
  7. as far as GI irons go the 701 are tops in my book. They don't look as big or strange from above while having a very modern look. Very forgiving with a super hot face creating major distance. Another club that IMO fits near that category are the new Honma Beres 2009 MG803
  8. You have a very fast swing speed with a rather quick tempo so I think heavier graphite and steel are both options for you. What are they shafted with now and what happened when you hit it? Ozik, Diamana, and many others produce fine graphite hybrid shafts.
  9. I would give the nod to the 301's over the KM irons due to shape and feel. I think the 301's feel more soft and pure and offer a better design with more appealing lines. The Yururi's are pretty good but the appeal is mostly an aesthetic one due to the CNC details in the back cavity.
  10. The M3 Hit Tour is one of my all time favorites. Perfect face angle, nice flat lie, and the semi shallow face with its shape really helped get the ball up and off the deck in a penetrating manner.
  11. No sir, the last 2 models were just released recently.

    I still have a set, They are exactly as Gocchin said The longest and most forgiving irons on the market.

    They stopped doing woods and that has helped but still to be honest guy's I would consider other brands before Yururi.
  14. We only have the 460 model at 245.00 USD + Shipping and many of them. If you need one please PM myself or Gocchin.
  15. The reviews I have seen are average at best but we do have a very low price on these right now 245.00USD + Shipping with the stock original shaft. Its fairly muted for a larger head.
  16. The Crafting Edition " The One " was one of Gauge Design Japan's last releases. It is the same thing as the standard product except it sports a blanks sole, no paintfill, and a gun metal finish. To be honest this finish will wear and rust in humid conditions especially because the putter is carbon forged steel.
  17. The great thing about this service is that you can have your Cameron, Bettinardi, and a variety of other OEM's putters modified with the options usually only offered on Golds Factory Putters.
  18. Vintage Mizuno.
  19. They are available through just about any NGS dealer in Japan including us. I can see how it could really help a player with a very slow tempo, slicing issues, or a slow swing speed but I do not think someone with a 100mph swing speed should be looking at this particular model. I would consider 6.7 torque a risky buy even in the low 90's. But doesn't it sound nice to have a smile from ear to ear and to get addicted to your tee shots all over again. We each have a setup that can provide this sensation it's just a matter of figuring out what it is...
  20. I'm seriously considering this driver with the new OZIK TP HD shaft.
  21. New 2009 Taylormade Accessories Just Added to the ProShop
  22. The new Red Stripe Rossa putters were just introduced to Japan and they look pretty solid. Pro Shop Description: Taylormade Japan introduces its all new Rossa Red Stripe Daytona putter for 2009. The Rossa Red Stripe putters flank a long white stripe with two red ones to create an alignment aid that allow the player to esily square the ball to the target. The key is that the red stripe alingment aid is the same length as the diameter of a ball. The Red Stripes feature ASGI+ for anti skidding with instant roll and soft feel. ASGI+ reduces extra backspin to give the ball as smooth roll to the target. The Red Stripe putters feature Rossa's Smart Grip. The Smart Grip is yet another alignment aid with dots to show positioning of the hand. This allows players to remember their hand position (choked down or higher up) depending on the length of the putt. Each dot is exactly an inch apart. The Red Stripe putters are only available in 35" and made of soft 304SS and a Titalium face. Please checkout the Fontana and Corza Taylormade Red Stripe series by clicking here
  23. Click the link in the original post it takes you to the Fourteen secton gallery of the Tokyo Golf Show and has good images of the black. Pro Shop also has them.
  24. I'm 5'10" and I play 1/2" shorter than U.S standard because I come down on the ball very aggressively as a picker. I noticed my chances of a bad shot which in my case is usually fat has decreased. My distance and accuracy has improved by a noticeable margin. If your bad shot is fat its worth a try.
  25. The V4 has a lower ball flight and imo was more accurate. Have you tried the 4 against the 3 and what did you notice?
