  1. FYI you need to learn before you talk, or at least get up to par on manufacturing. Callaway X-Forged ( MADE IN JAPAN ) Titleist = 1025 Forged by Endo Thailand Tour Issue Forged in Japan Ben Hogan Forged Endo Thailand Tour Issue Forged in Japan TM RAC MB is forged by Nelson... poo poo Nike Forged Blades Endo Thailand Tour Issue Forged in Japan Titleist has always understood that good players need quality forgings, Callaway fell off the map until roger cleveland who understands Japanese manufacturing skills pulled them back to the right direction. FYI Roger Cleveland lives in Japan now too. Ok so you took four forged U.S products and just found out all but 1 were forged by a Japanese company. how about you fill in the other 90% for us? You cant because most of its cast. Proof is in the pudding! Also you didnt even mention J.I.S grades of metals do you think hardness rating is equal between chinese 1025 vs Japanese 1025? nope JDM is softer H rated. Do you think its just coincidence Tiger has only played clubs forged in Japan and wont play anything else? Do you think phil's hand made drivers were made in Japan by Mistake while the retails were mass produced in China? Fact is high percentage of JDM clubs are forged with even tungsten inserts in long irons, while majority of U.S clubs are older yet proven technology, lower quality materials, mass produced, lower quality control... list goes on, FYI these are facts.
  2. Per my suggestion and due to the premium zone's feel and performance being so amazing I have asked Sasaya San to create or attempt to duplicate that same SS304 soft forward roll face insert. He has taken on the task doing Auto CAD on his own and paying tooling and prototype costs out of pocket. TSG member iDrive will be the first customer in the world to own this new insert. The depth a diameter of a milling is by 3 millimeters of circularity and every 1.5 millimeters it mill's 0.14 millimeters per stroke. I'm excited and cant wait. For now look at another TSG members Golds Factory Masterpiece:
  3. I can special order the Gekku Yururi iron, but its expensive, 200 bucks per head only~!
  4. Yea, without that sort of LM info its difficult to suggest somthing. Im already thinking 9.5 for sure, the question is what shaft..
  5. This is Available now shafted or head only.
  6. 4-PW 699.00 + 55 Shipping Express from Japan. They are brand new in the plastic with the Steel Spec M-43 shaft which plays to a Stiff/Reg Flex. This price wont last long, They are very expensive irons Endo forged of double stamped 1025 J.I.S steel. Geared toward the 10 or below handicap player.
  7. Attn: All Mid High Single Digit Golfers, this is the area I best suggest you look at. No longer is it cool to let Ego dictate our equipment with the knife like players cavity backs or even blades. It is my humble opinion that blades are for the scratch or better while 10 and under can dabble with True players Cb's but the most versatile is the Mid size players cavity that also fits the bill from pro level to the 15 handicap golfer. WARNING: Building one of the following sets to your exact length, loft, lie, swing weigth, grip size, and the proper shaft may lead to lower scores, increased heart rate, and a Japan Forged Bias! Custom Mizuno MP-27 Custom Mizuno MP-60 Mizuno MX-25 Taylormade R7 Forged Epon Type X TourStage ViQ Forged XXIO FORGED Srixon WR Yururi CNC Gekku Forged PRGR is500 Forged Mizuno JPX Forged ONOFF Forged Plus All of these clubs are the latest 2007 models and currently available stock or custom built, drop me a PM if interested.
  8. ICN Tour is awesome, You should try the Mach Line stuff, but you need to tip these so if it has not been do so about 10-15mm
  9. What's your current launch angle and spin rate?
  10. I got a Tourstage pull in stiff from a VIQ MX for free with shipping if you want. Tourstage makes decent stock shafts, they all feel very similar IMO.
  11. The V2 wedges are no longer available. The V3 and J-Spec are on deck now.
  12. Offset numbers are recorded a different way in Japan. Whatever the case these irons are pro level as they are the #2 most played iron on the JPGA tour.
  13. The retail model CB is bigger than the R version. I could have my alphabets mixed around though.
  14. Epon copper spec HG wedge now available!
  15. Anyone else give this players UT a try?
  16. Had lots of Pro's love this club, not only for its small pear like shape but more so because of the lower flight with less spin it gave. The ball speed numbers were higher than anything else at the testing range in Orlando florida. Lots of EPGA and Young Florida sticks clock'd in their longest drives with our TSG demo. It was a standard 10.5 ZR-600 with upgrade PT-6 Tip 9 Spec. We also had a 9.5 with a upgrade PT-7 Tip 9 Spec and the distance was on average if i remember right was 8 yards less across the board than the 10.5/PT-6.
  17. PROTO is Available! This is the only shaft that can Toe up to or perhaps even beat the Roddio! Some of the top performing shafts for Tour players in multiple JDM mag test sessions!
  18. Yup not so easy to hit but when you do strike it good its pure! I love the way they look from above, pretty close to a blade and thats the #1 reason why people like these irons. I only suggest blades for 0 hcp or better players, this XCB2 is a great option to ween you off of a blade if you shouldn't be playing one. If your 5+ handicap you may do better with a Mid size players cavity back.
  19. Kinda, Sorta, Not Really... X-Drive is more driver than 95% of golfers can handle. Some Japanese drivers only come in X flex, just several years ago Japan was selling drivers with 1.7* open face angles stock, like Fourteen and Bridgestone. Good Strong players like forged players cavity backs yet 90% of America's clubs are cast while the opposite is true for Japan. As far as needs, the lengths are a quarter to half inch shorter and the lie angle half a degree flatter. There are even more Muscle back irons in Japan. Also U.S drivers lofts almost never play true and isnt it strange how they always play much higher but never lower? In fact more smaller headed drivers come out in Japan than the U.S by far. Its all about options, in Japan you can get noodle shafts with gold plated clubs or very stiff open faced gear for the hard core golfer. Its just great they have options for people who desire more than average. Yes DIFFERENT materials! American brands when they do make a forged club use 1035 or 1045 non J.I.S standard steel I cant find a single iron in Japan forged of 1035 and 1045. In woods you will see lots of Carbon and Cast Titanium because Forged and specialty heat treated near pure Ti cost a fortune, also for each piece or process used in building a club the more it will cost to produce. if you look at U.S drivers and how many pieces are used they require less plasma welding. Fact of the matter is U.S brands are still boasting about technology that has been standard use for years in Japan. and Yes Quality control is almost always much tighter with JDM gear.
  20. Only 2000 pcs made total guys, no brushed satin. Yes these are spin welded, everything Miura makes is spin welded
  21. We sold out during pre order. Have more coming mid may and a couple sets that just arrived. These are gonna be hard to get maybe, I better horde a few for the boys!
  22. When you say slicing it bad, on the vector how many yards offline did it say? 30+?
  23. Great Scoop! I have never seen this before! I will ask fourteen for more info.
