Ill have to get back to you on that. EPON is sending me some testing prototypes to mess with.

I had no idea they were doing the emblem. I actually like it. FYI these are finished in Cr20 before the satin plating.

:tsg_smiley_yes: Now thats what im talking about! Your more of a HO than santa claus man.

Yes Srixon U.S stuff is made in Japan. A few less features but still very high quality at a great value.

Yes it can but i havent done this. I suspect it will say Technica Pro I under that badge like the version in the pro shop. Thanks, Chris

I have no idea what these are. I do know that Vokeys are made of carbon steel cast which bends like forged and almost feels as good.

They are pretty old wedges. I know the owner of the company he also runs egg wedges in japan. they are another high quality wedge on the market. I can get them if you want but most people spending that sort of cash on a wedge usually want somthing a bit newer than 3 years old. As far as quality zodia's are better IMO check out zodias new web site watch the videos and understand that not many wedge companies do that sort of process.

same forging quality, i would say the 505 is more forgiving in the long irons due to tungsten inserts.

I can still get Duo Hit fw's but the driver is finished. The T3 has replaced it. IMO there are better drivers available in the high end market. The new M3 Hit is an oversized FW that is silly easy to hit. I suggest a shaft change to somthing that fits your swing. i tried the M spec shafts from PRGR and dont get along to well with them. Thats just my swing though perhaps others will have a different take.

Im not sure how they play, im just not a big cleveland fan. I do have 2 left 52/58 and know they are not so easy to get.

I spoke with Paul Bessler today who one of the top club makers, fitters, etc.. He agreed with what the Maltby book states but also thinks that todays newer blades are a turn in the proper direction. More so with added bulk around the toe area than the shorter hosel. Perhaps the MPF factor is a tad outdated? Whatever the case is I have been doing my best to learn everything i can about the physics and design of golf clubs modern and classic. All directions seem to be pointing to CB's as the better design for every player group. Its all mental guys serious, if you cant hit CB's and you can only hit blades you have a few issues that need to be resolved. A good example is the honeymoon period its pretty hard to explain with scientific facts but for some reason they say the first 40 shots are better than the rest. Its those kind of things that make golf the most interesting sport there is IMO. Blades actually helped me also, I found that the smaller head made me focus and concentrate more which in the end improved my ball striking with my CB's.

I understand what people are saying after my comment. first and foremost the most important thing about selecting irons are how they look to you personally. I guess the trick would be for a blade player to learn to adjust to the look of a CB. In regards to the ball flight, its more an issue of shaft and fitting than the CG. The CG will affect forgivness mroe than launch angle. There are pros that launch the ball higher than anyone yet can play forgiving cavity backs. It is because they are fit properly. Blades isnt the only way to bring the flight down.

I used to feel the same way until tom set me straight. Read the book " The search for the perfect golf club " and Maltby MPF "Irons" and learn from a pure physics and design stand point they are obsolete when compared to the CB. If pga pros can deal with CB's it i'm sure many of us can learn to as well. the difference in top line vs a true players CB is .5mm which is tiny. A lot of this often has to do more with the head than anything else. A look into the future would be Japanese Neo blades, larger heavier sole with a shorter hosel and a tad more bulk out near the toe. just my 2 cents and in the end we all play what we like best not what performs best. Another thing i would also like to note that the use of the majority of aftermarket driver shafts are useless for those who don't hold their wrist cock long enough to reap the benifits of a full kick.

I got this one for 500.00

Take advantage of the Gallery as we have many of the images you may need in your search. XCB2 on left - TS-202 on right

Gauge NC-1 is a 5mm top line which is on the bigger side yet not large as stated in most of its reviews on the site. The R7 forged, ZR600, and Type J are in my guess 4mm a blade is about 3.5 ( just guessing I haven't measured them yet ) I strongly feel that the blade is obsolete, I mean why use a club with a higher CG, which is closer to the heel, from a design standpoint it makes no sense. People can argue that blades feel more pure at impact. On U.S domestic side that may be accurate but the Type J and Kyoei forged irons are more pure in CB form in my opinion. Also if we get real here even plus 2,3,4, handicaps benefit more from a CB than a blade. So what you see is new model blades with a shorter hosel in attempt to push the CG closer to the toe and lower so they are easier to hit. It helps but logically MBs are for a select few not the many who think they benefit their game. I didn't always feel this way but after a long conversation with Tom Wishon it makes a ton of sense.

as many as you need my friend. Yes sir Japan only. I really like how the faces have the slight milling marks on it. I agree they look pretty forgiving and I will keep you guys posted on how they work as soon as i got time to put them in play.

not many at all by Srixon. we are hiring 2 master club fitter/builders on the 1st of October and will be able to do everything in house.

ZR-600 - Type J - R7 Forged R7 Forged - Type J - ZR-600 R7 Forged on Top, Type J in the center, ZR-600 on bottom I am going to put the same shaft, length, lie, loft, grip and swing weight on each set and see which i like best their are factors that have me leaning in all directions. I havent tried the ZR-600 yet but the sole looks so easy to hit. The R7 forged is gone gone gone in Japan and TSG has the last remaining sets available, some people are saying its miura forged. The Type J has given me no reason to switch, they perform and feel better than anything i have hit to date but my nature as ho is to test test test. Anyway this is no official shoot out or anything its just me giving my honest opinion on what set i liked best and why. The winner of course will make it into my bag.

Diamana, Fujikura, Graphite Design, Axiv, NGS and more are facing serious shortages of materials ever since the new Air Bus A380 began production. Even Carbon companys are feeling the hurt not to mention the automotive aftermarket industry. Im actually looking forward to taking a ride on this beast!

Just remember who did the black X-Drive first :tsg_smiley_yes:
