  1. Save yourself the headache and just get it from TSG. You are paying in dollars instead of Euro or Pounds, also even if they did charge you in dollars we will still beat that price. Another thing worth noting is the product we sell was manufactured for intended sales in Japan while stuff built for other countries many times isn't forged in Japan.
  2. those carbon ferrules will be discontinued soon for a new Epon ferrule that has the gold logo on it. I will see if i can get any more.
  3. The brand is not very big in Japan, Product is not made in Japan also.
  4. They are actually going to be 1020 for retail, the 1015 vs 1020 was no difference at all. Expect the release to be mid June.
  5. I tried the 106 vs the new 306 and like the 106 better, easier to get up and it also lands softer. The 306 was low, accurate and for the faster swinger. It was still a good Hybrid I just cant wait till G.Spirits brings their GS-UT out. dorkman is correct the feel of the 106 reminded me of the Cleveland hi bore feel.
  6. Just found out there has been a delay until May 20th but it is for sure coming out.
  7. Sounds like Mr. VP is out of the loop. Price has already been determined, product release date is already setup. The VP I assume you spoke with is the USA guy while we deal directly with Japan. Fourteen USA never gets the new product and if they do its months late. Stick with TSG, we take care...
  8. MAJOR delay's on Geotech guys, I am sorry. They did not expect us to sell so much of their product.
  9. Yes, yet so are many of the titleist, tourstage, bridgestone, callaway, and many others blades that feel nothing like the TB1000 are also made by Endo. When Miura makes a blade they are practically always the same material, basic design, and manufacturing method be it for their own label or another. When Endo makes a blade for themselves, or another OEM it is always different blends of materials, design, and manufacturing options. thousands of build combo's create very diverse golf gear. Just because 2 clubs are made at Endo it doesn't mean they are anything like each other.
  10. This is what I know. There is a contest between 30+ CAD designers to see who can build the most advanced and best performing blade. I was told Oct, November but as usual with design and manufacturing dates are up in the air.
  11. 3 piece putters of forged carbon steel. Face portions are made of 1005 ultra soft. 3 finishes, Teflon Black, Black Night, and Silver Star. all models have a 350g head weight. Expect 6-8 different putter designs in the line up.
  12. Here are early release pics of the GS-MB. It will be released 1st week of June. The amount produced is very limited for all George Spirits product and it carries a hefty price tag. Irons should retail around 2000 - 2500 USD.
  13. No it is not, who told you that?
  14. Good question, I honestly don't know of any current models but will keep an eye out for them.
  15. I predict even more spin on the Yururi's! let us know if that happens...
  16. Take a look at Yamaha's product, there is only one factory in the world that can produce such edges, finishes, and purity in complicated forged cavity design.
  17. The heads are a no name component brand, i forget what its called. I have been fitted twice at Fujikura about 3 years ago, I do not remember the location in Tokyo but i'm sure fujikura can help you with it if you contact them. It was 1 hour, they have you hit a ton of shafts. They give you a Video of your swing but keep in mind you are hitting into a net. I really enjoy fitting myself the most, Fuji on the first visit set me up for the 757 X-Stiff, the second fitting only several weeks later they put me together with the 659 in R flex. Kinda weird if you ask me. I suggest to all golfers to purchase contact tape for the face and lie, also a plastic lie board. Understand and take your time learning your true loft/lie/length/grip size/ and swing weight. Keep in mind specs can be different with various shafts and club types based on the result of the shot. After you master that move on and find access to a vector, velocity, or trackman. It doesnt matter which one really they all do the same thing just some more accurate. Make sure you have at least 6 measurements done on your clubs, if you read the data correctly you can better understand why perhaps a single club goes further or you have a hard time hitting a particular iron. Usually and even with PGA or LPGA players some of their clubs are out of whack straight from the tour van. Have a distance gap analysis done with EVERY club in the bag if possible. adjust the clubs above and below the gap to close it up. I notice a lot of players have a big gap between the AW and PW and long iron to fairway wood. This takes a long time and you must hit a ton of balls. For the scratch type player it should be no more than an hour but we have had 26+ hcp people fail to complete the process because they need to hit to many balls in order to get reliable data, We usually only need 5-6 perfect struck shots in each club, we find for high handicappers every 1 out of 15 shots give us what we need. Shaft fitting analysis is also very important, by hitting a variety of shafts from all major brands in many flexes you begin to understand why and what shafts give you the best distance and dispersion. you can honestly gain 20 yards by selecting the right iron shaft for your swing. With distance your dispersion usually gets a bit more erratic but find the optimal and fine line that makes you happy. A quality fitting takes about 3-4 hours depending on the customers skill level and their ability to hit clean shots providing good data. This is just my opinion, Most customers games greatly improve after something like this. It is also an educational process where the customer learns a great deal about why, how and what they should do for self analysis during practice or a round of golf.
  18. Zodia uses mostly open model pre made blank heads for their irons and as you already know TSG supports only original design product. About 4 years ago Zodia sold well but not any more as they have not released any serious new product in years.
  19. Yes I have hit a bunch from the crews line up. The design and style is nice but the performance is only on par with others and nothing spectacular. It's not produced in Japan and we have very few requests for their product.
  20. We have now learned that this magazine rates the club based on the amount of money the golf OEM spends on advertising in that magazine. Anyway that is what their bigger competitor says as well as Itochu which is the EU distributor for Epon.
