Takumi Golf Japan
Much of their stuff has heavy offset and a thicker top line. Nothing wrong with that if that's what you are looking for. I will be posting more from their line up in coming days. had to space it out because there are so many. KYOEI has been killing it recently. They produce arguably the best forging in Japan and with all the various makers using their raw heads you can get so many variations on the shape.

New KYOEI DUAL WEIGHT Irons!
I designed this iron to fit between club designs like the Epon 305 & 505 or Miura's 201 & 301. I felt this was the sweet spot between a players CB and a semi compact iron. How will KYOEI's new Dual Weight Iron match up against Miura's TC-201 / 301? How about against Epon's 305/505? Find out how their new iron stacks up - http://blog.tourspecgolf.com/kyoei-double-weight-iron/

Seven CB Review
I have no samples in the usa, we just cut our only USA account (true spec) and now have zero dealers in NA. That's a good thing btw.. in fact everything is sold out except 1-2 sets of the new CB. More is in production but with only 6 sets a month coming in products do not hang around for very long. email me, I will see what we have in Japan to send you.

Seven CB Review
disclaimer I own and design SEVEN. So I designed the CB for feedback, shape, workability. It is not meant to be soft anywhere outside of center. WHY? because this is a cavity back that blade players can move into. What makes it that? shape of the face, cg locations are the two biggest factors. I did not aim to make an iron that was soft all over the face but rather provide a firmer feedback outside the sweet spot so you can actually tell when you hit it bad. The casual wants an iron soft all over, but those with more time obsessing over equipment long for feedback. The CB is also very workable as well thanks to it's shape. Glad you found it soft all over. Results always vary depending on who is hitting what. What is cool is that one person has qualified for their Tour Card using the latest model SEVEN CB. paid full price. MB, I can tell you that two of the worlds top 5 players have now hit these. no intention to switch because I'm not paying a dime to them. We have had PGA, EPGA tour players hit these irons. ( MB, SC, CB ). What I will say is that these are a true players blade I dont suggest it to anyone who does not have precise ball striking. I have heard +2 handicaps comment that these require skills. That said the #1 player in the world was hitting these like nothing else and without his specs. The MB is progressive dimensions, progressive CG locations, progressive hosel lengths and is full cnc milled. There is nothing technologically any big brand is doing that can be better. Thats why for now I am sticking with 1 piece forged irons is because I know I can beat anyone in this category using the combo of Japan materials, made and full CNC. There are approx. 3 dozen sets of MB's on the planet. All sold, with 6 more sets coming end of next month. 4 of those are pre-ordered. Hope u dig the info.

benock bullett putter
Let. us know how you like it. I LOVE the bullet! Sorry to go nuts again but: Benock really is a brand for the hardcore and while most people look at Okuda-san's putters and think they look just like other brands, In fact they are made different. No polishing of edges, no bending of neck, no welding. this thing is pure 5-axis perfection. No other putter keeps the chuck on the sole, all others are mounted on the face. I've said this before and will say it again you can hand 10 million dollars to cameron or any other and ask them to duplicate what Okuda-san does and they will not be able to. When our customers need a different neck the entire head cad must be altered or the CG will move and shift away from the sight line. i.e like a circle T or lamb putter. No bending lie or loft as it's all milled to spec. Any brand that will change a neck without changing the entire heads CAD is taking you for a ride.

Epon SUS316 irons?
Irons do not need to be on the list to be conforming. The sus316 should have conforming grooves. sus316 is a great material in irons, unfortunately people (casuals) have some type of opinion that may preventing this material of gaining traction.

COVID19 Cancels Japan Golf Fair 2020

MCI 100x iron shafts
MCI's and Aerotech are similar in many ways but MCI across the board is better imo. Our customers have made the switch and can attest. MCI is a little boardy but they are nice and accurate. if you have the right specs and flex they can feel wonderful. I have played MCI's personally in many sets of irons. I prefer standard MCI to MCI Black personally but both are great.
-
Time to go light?
COA is made by Mamiya FYI. Right now there are so many great shaft options. Really hard to choose and the numbers don't help. What I mean by that is if you match the torque, weight, bend point, flex, cpm's it still doesn't explain how it will perform. From a design and manufacturing standpoint. I like: Fuji, Mitsu, Tour AD botique - I love loop, crazy, waccine, roddio, basileus etc..

Irons - Players CB's looking for suggestions
I think TC-101's with MCW is a good option. Yes, Tour Nabla's, iD BL's, something along those lines refinished. The KK CB, I am working on replacing this model next. Easy choice but $$$

Endo forged irons
2011 thread here, haha. Endo has lost it's Mojo and most of it's golf customers. Endo Japan no longer forges. Much of that staff has moved on. Endo thailand services their golf division. --- So in a nutshell here is what happened. - long time ago most quality drivers were forged body and forged faces. - china comes along and produces cast bodies for cheaper - endo loses customers. ** The world is still not aware drivers used to have forged bodies, no one told the industry during the change from forged to cast bodies. ** Ryoma is only forged body FYI. - then adjustability comes along, endo stays purist due to 9-12g extra weight near the hosel and does not go along with this trend - more customers move to china. I agree, still to this day adjustable hosels are not a good design traight. - endo japan golf div closes and moves rest to thailand while laying off many staff - some my friends. - endo's original founder is canned, son in law to founder of factory. too much hanky panky. - epon is now run by people who were not there from the beginning. they clock in and out. brand loses soul imo. they don't remember TSG created their model names and logo and brought them out in 2005/2006. - China has really stepped up it's game and can match Endo forgings ( almost ). Now OTA and FuShen are tops as far as size goes. Tier 2 factories are just surviving.

Found 60 heads
Years back I had some UK co. alchemy golf refinish 60pcs Seven OG wedge heads - the non-conforming ones. Holy s**t. they messed up all 60 heads with terrible finishes. I tried "nicely" to get them to fix but they disappeared. I find them in storage and I'm like what do I do with these now. unsellable for sure yet brand new. No where does quality finishes in USA. These are discontinued. sad. If you are the type who likes a patina wedge let me know. I can sell each one for 50 bucks + shipping.
-
Wedge with distance?
yes and even if your lofts match up the distances may not due to the club head design. So actually mapping out the distance gaps is importanto.
-
JDM Fairway Woods
Consider higher launching shafts for deeper faced woods. For me I value straightness and consistency for my FW. I could care less about distance if it means my #3 gets me in trouble.

Honma TR20
No more tour world as the TR20 replaces it. I was a big fan of 747P. hope the new P is equal or better. I got all samples here and will shoot soon.

Irons - Players CB's looking for suggestions
I don't think hunting for S20C makes much sense as based on the design, finish and dimensions of the club S25C can easily feel softer. feel really depends on many factors then if you move to SS400 or S15C you are even softer in theory but have lie's and lofts getting bent out quick. Of what you mention TC-101 with MCW options sounds awesome.

Ryoma Golf Beyond Power Shafts
It's pretty much a uni-flex shaft. Somewhere around SR flex. Yup 95 and below is good advice. If your tempo is quick and at 95 maybe slow it down.
