They use a Japanese made die or tooling and the head would be forged in Japan also. It could be hand ground in the states finished off, polished or refinished. IMO Nike does just about all its work overseas aside from post production adjustments. In the past he has used only used Japanese forged clubs and he is using the same now.

I don't have my sample of this one yet but I did see a Satin version, that was not chrome like the one in the above pics.

Here it is the YuRuRi K-Driver!

Yururi wedge has the most spin for sure sir.

New brand here at TSG man, you are gonna have to wait till its in the hands of more players.

I would say erase the heavy shaft thing and D3 D4 thing for your mind only off the start and while you are testing the club in its stock form. Vista Pro 60 really isn't that heavy right? I mean its in the 60 gram range correct? Usually guys with an fast move from the top or quick tempo benifit most from heavier shafts. When you use a heavy shaft does it simply reduce the problem with the over the top move for you? or does the actual weight actually smooth out your already normal tempo? If you were to select an aftermarket shaft try the Tour AD MD7 or 8.

Awesome Review Bogey, I have not had time with these irons yet but can't wait to get back to give them a rip after the re shaft, compared to the AF301 these look a bit better with their thinner top line and less offset. I am especially happy with the amount of offset in the 8,9, and PW. What are the weights of your KB shafts? I am still thinking of Graphite in them.

That is a matter of the players opinion. They for sure are not the best made wedges so that only leaves how the grind plays for you. If the grind plays good for your conditions, the feel pleases you and the style is what you desire, then they are the right wedges for you. My preference : 1. Material, the wedge must be made of Japanese soft forged steel like 1020 also 2 x density pressed but 6 x completed press overall. ( I prefer if the billet was originally from Sumitomo before it was forged ) 2. The wedge must be designed and tested by Pro's, and average players not to mention dynamic performance reaction in Auto CAD. 3. The wedge must be designed in Auto CAD and a direct tooling made insuring quality of build, consistent CG placement with no variables. 4. The leading score line must line up square to the target with no manipulation by the hands. * Grind, and details of the wedge should depend on the player and their course conditions * I can go on about how the tooling should be made vs others and how the hot forging cools so that the density doesn't warp around the neck area but there is no need to. Of the list i mentioned in my first post there is one wedge that 1 of the top 5 players in the world just had to have but his OEM couldn't share, secure or purchase the design from the factory. If you guy's new who it was, the nation/world would be all over it like hot cakes. Smaller less established wedge companies buy 4 x pressed forged heads from foundries. The billet is pressed into an overweight generic form like those raw heads I used to have for sale. Then they grind these heads to a shape and when they are done balance it to find the CG, then they engrave it and plate or finish these heads. Brands without the capability to sell over 10,000 + wedges and pay expensive die or tooling costs or have a place manufacture the wedge at the absolute highest quality have a huge disadvantage in quality, tolerance, and overall look of the product. Everyone has their opinion here but one undisputed fact is that the new Epon 208KGX wedge is the best quality manufactured and best designed wedge EVER made. Most huge OEMs have 1-3 Cad experts and designers working on their wedge. The Epon product is usually a competition of 31 Cad Artists and Designers for who can make the best product, not to mention these designers had to adjust, enhance, or work with most of the worlds OEM's high quality forged product giving Epon a vastly superior and distinct advantage. Another way to put it for you auto junkies is, would you rather buy a Porsche at the price of a VW, or buy a VW at the price of a Porsche?

Epon is pretty new in the USA. Just got up and running in Jan. I think. If you know of a good shop or club maker simply have them contact www.eponforged.com so they can apply for the account directly.

Yes Sir, We have samples we are now testing, here is a sneak peak of the Proto.

We don't support Chikara at all here at TSG, we used to and it is a decent yet extremely overpriced Kyoei forged wedge but the info from many in Japan about the owner have proven him dishonest among other things. TSG has had a very bad experience with him as well.

1. Yes in terms of distance the AF101 is longer than the EMB, this is my opinion as well as the opinion of the Epon staff I have spoken with. 2. I would agree with that statement in the order you have it written. For my swing the stock 7080 mach line works best but as you can see Epon can attach just about any of your favorite shafts to this club.

The 460 Technity and ZR460 Epon is the same. Both are no longer available. The New AF101 is totally different, They worked on this driver for 3 years and its at least 10+ yards longer than the Epon ZR460. The AF101 was released only a couple of days ago to TSG and it isn't even available in Japan yet. The AF101 is also considered longer than the EMB by Epon designers, staff, and myself. The EMB is still very long but its asset is its forgiveness. Yes your old technity has the same cup face as the old 460 but not the same cup face as the AF101 But to answer your question the old 460 doesnt share a thing with the new AF101.

Its Epon 208 or KGX sir not KZG. There are 3 bounce angles on the sole of the KGX 6/10/8, Heel is 6, middle is 10, toe is 8 all on one single wedge, I suggest you try it.

They are actually quite different. The GeoTech would be considered a catalog head. The Yururi's are an original design. I really don't know how similar they are in size but they are indeed totally different irons.

We are just playing around with a very bad name that's all. To be totally serious the manufacturing, amount of skill it takes to hand make a Gold's putter, the brand image and marketing puts the kramski to shame, as far as performance goes I simply don't know because I have never and will never hit a Kramski. A putter must look good before I would even consider it. Which Gold's putter have you tried? what options did you have it assembled with? I dont see a single product by Kramski that shows anything special as far as material, design or manufacturing.

I will only suggest Japan forged wedges to you, most of the suggestions are. Tour Seida Raw Gekku Wedge Fourteen Limited Edition Royal Collection Golds Factory My#1 wedge suggestion and my personal gamer is the Epon 208KGX new model from Epon.

Yup, Like Fourteen's castings feel very soft although they recently switched to ENDO 6 press 1020 forgings.

I don't mind sounding arrogant in this regard so please allow me, We have a good eye here. Kramski not only has a very poor visual appearance but the design puts more weight in the front than the back, pretty tacky overall as far as the look. Gold's Factory putters are high precision CNC'd, so are Bettinardi, Bobby Grace, and also many average tier putter companies so you touting CNC milled really holds no ground. It is more expensive to create a flat CNC milled surface with many rounded or sharp turns than one with ridges and basic angles like most of the Kramski models. Ridges mean less needles wasted which = less money spent. The Kramski putters are produced in parts and assembled, each model the same way. Golds Factory putters are CNC milled then have the majority of work done by hand for every little thing from military grade tungsten, to brass pin's used for sight dots, custom made blinkers engraving and the list is too long to mention. CNC milling is the basics and at least kramski starts with that, but poor design, asthetics, and marketing they have no excuse for. Even the price is unjustified and the fact that they sell a " precious box " for two hundred dollars for your 1 dozen weights shows in itself the putter needs to be adjusted for performance. Mazda's are affordable with great design so I wouldn't even compare Kramski to that, In fact I can't think of an auto company that looks that bad so perhaps we can say its a Vespa vs the Nissan GT-R. Kramski vs Gold's Factory Oh and by the way just saw your IP addy was from the same ISP Kramski contact info comes from! We know our stuff here buddy, lets not contaminate the drinking water. I think its time Kramski Skramski's...

Kramski? I don't think anyone has heard of it let alone purchased one. I wouldn't compare these to a Gold's Factory man, totally different league.

Thats a good question and I too would like to find USDM balls as good as most of the TourStage Balls. I find Bridgestone's most high end balls are at about the same level as the Super Newig models. If I am playing USDM balls I usually use Srixon's.

I am currently not playing any Ozik shafts but have in the past. Our Ozik sales are still very strong and our customers mostly very happy with the performance of the product.

Simply by looking at the finish, design, and quality you can tell Endo is the best manufacture by a mile. #1 = Endo #2 = Miura #3 = Kyoei tied with Chuo The Yururi Proto Blades were done by Kyoei and dont forget the Miura Giken MB5003 as its a very solid option as well.

What we and others have found is: - Tip hole is smaller than the size of graphite tip weights - Some shafts play far softer than stated. I.E X flex at 253 cpm's when built to Daiwa's directions - Spine isn't logo up/down as they specify - some shafts have an extremely low ball flight while others don't, when installed into the same head the same way
