G-Fields are sold out until late June, but I can get you Scratch Irons cheaper than anyone on the web for TSG'ers only. Drop me a PM if interested. My Pros and Cons: Scratch: Pros: - Softer than G-Fields due to 1018 vs 1020 - Thinner Topline ( could be good or bad ) - Many different options available - Majority of U.S shaft options available. Cons: - Poor Resale Value G-Field: Pros: - CNC milling soft yet not mushy vibration dampening - Very forgiving - CG locations are mapped digitally to the .mm for consistancy - Rare Japanese shaft options - Great Resale Value - JPGA Tour Win with Y.E Yang and 6 sets in play by non G-Field sponsored pros Cons: - Sold Out till late June - To many different models of CB cause confusion Any set you select should be good. Also keep in mind there are other options as far as Irons go.

Hey XXIO, each hole removes 5-10 grams of weight depending on how deep or the size of the hole in general. so figure 2 ingots will add 15-20 grams total to your putter head. but that isnt gonna change the way bettinardi's roll. I tell you what drop me a PM ill cut you a deal, i think i can get it close to what your paying for the Japan bett after the cost of the mods you plan on doing. Its worth a shot and it for sure will feel softer and roll better. FYI 1,2,7,8,10 are sold out.

I have some now drop me a PM when your ready.

Big improvement on the original M2+ design featuring the new SS303 premium zone insert and new re-designed aluinser. 350g head weight better roll better look. also check out the matching ion G-Field grips.

These are pre-release, the HC is still the Eldik cover from GD. The price is 299.00 + 20.00 Shipped.

I was lucky enough to get several early release Leap Series putters from G-Field. The Difference between the Leap and Leap M is the fact that the Leap has a more stubby profile, shorter heel to toe and thicker topline. This would suggest it is geared towad the player who wants to minimize head twisting. Both putters have a nice head heavy feel of 350 grams. The SS303 premium zone insert gives it the most pure end over end roll I have felt. Leap M: Leap:

I have two sets of the new CB1006 for sale NS950 or S200. I can get these with just about anyshaft. they are expensive I must warn.

I dont think this is a custom order driver. More like an unreleased model about 4-5 years ago. Probobly around 275-300cc's.

Yup V-Specs are now available. Ball go left, this shaft should help. Its overall stiffer than the rest and only available in mid kick. The fitting area is the same thing Tourspecgirl is using to fit you guys.

To be honest I dont know, The Marus are sold out and odd specs so I wouldnt worry to much about it.

Yes just about everything is different, different specs, grind, bounce, etc.. sharper CNC milled grooves and flat face not to mention the J33's are not made of FE99.9% carbon forged steel.

This is just a different design that is more desireable.

675.00 Shipped! #1, #2, and #8 are already Sold. They have Forged L's with single sight lines the triple frames the ball far better IMO :tsg_smiley_yes:

Will 370G do? PRO DIV Forged L

I can get them no problem so just inquire if you have the need.

Fair enough 8H, My DSS is 108mph, i can crank it to 116 but my feet slide out from over swinging the club. I am for sure a hitter not a swinger with an aggressive start down from the top. I haven't had my 6 iron speed tested for quite some time now. I'm an Irons player with better than average ball striking skills, my 6 iron doesn't shoot so long only 165yds give or take 5 at any given moment. Handicap is at a firm 3 down from a 7 due to lessons, a video called the swing machine, and the addition of the GFT 4 wood. I can shoot even - 2 under 3 rounds straight then chump out a 80+ every 5-7 rounds. comparative trajectory: With different shafts and different players testing I cant speak for the others but in my personal opinion the PRGRs had the lowest trajectory then the G-Field, Custom Mizzys and highest the XCB2. That doesn't mean these suckers fly high, I mean the CG location is anywhere from 17.5 to 19mm on all of these sets so floaty shots are not an issue of the head but more so of the shaft. Distance & Accuracy: Anything shifted with the NS1150 goes longer for me with a better zooming upward lift to it landing softer with less roll than say an S300 etc Again the shaft differences didn't make this to easy and my goal was more selfish than anything else, what will end up in MY bag and secondary piece of mind from the results of the testing participants which honestly didn't help much at all. As far as noticeable distance gains the G-Field w/PX shafts take the lead, i was hitting my 6 iron 165-176 so just a bit further than the other clubs. I really have no standard clubs I guess with all my changing the irons I have played the most would be the NC-1. I have been playing gauge irons frequently since the original MB. So I sum it up as Distance depends more on shaft than anything, trajectory as well. If I try to take shafts out of the picture I say the custom mizunos are the most accurate, its visual and mental for me second would be the PRGRs if you connect with the ball on the proper plane they work out very pure and accurate. IMO forgiveness and accuracy work together in some ways, I mean naturally if your hitting a more forgiving club chances are it will fly straighter on a higher % of the shots, straighter and online will equal closer to the hole IMO. As far as working the ball left to right and vice versa the PRGRs take the cake! Just a slight adjustment really gives you the desired play. The G-Field long irons are extremely workable as well, in fact its the only set i can hit a low 4 iron draw from a tight lie after a pulled drive to get me back in play on the par 5's. The MP60s were the least workable. With all these sets being players CBs they carry virtually the same attributes the difference is obviously in setup, feel, and design. I mean we are really splitting hairs when it comes to distance and accuracy but as far as feel, forgiveness, and trajectory go there are noticeably differences. I hope this helps, If 8H or anyone else has specific question let me have um. In regards to your demo plan 8H, we are simply not ready to handle that. We actually have a more simplified plan created but it wont be implemented until mid 2007 realistically. Thanks for keeping me on the ball :tsg_smilie_smile:

Besides looking at the pics and off the top of my head I would say marus grind is a mid bounce non cambered sole which easily opens up. the head itself is very compact and yes the specs are a the very light side. The new X-wedge looks more versitile for the better plater, more bounce, more camber, better size face and profile and at D3. I would select the new 06 X-Wedge in a hearbeat.

Everything takes 4-6 weeks. No longer and no sooner.

Also I would like to add that a warning has been put out about heads only coming from parts of S.E asia that are defective and were sold on ebay. The problem was 1 of 2 things, head weight too light or face thickness to thin. Was this head purchased on ebay as head only?

Sorry for the delay guys but I extended testing by 4 full rounds of golf with Tourspecgirl. I just had to give the two top contenders a good testing to come to my conclusions. All 4 sets were solid overall If I wasn't in this business I would have chosen any set on any given day but me being who I am ( one critical SOB ) and fortunate enough to have these clubs in hand I just had to select the one that improved my score, felt the best, looked attractive to my eye, and put my mind at ease. The G-Field NC-1 was the winner for 3 of 4 testers, well guys that wont cut it because I was not confident with the participants in the first place so i'm gonna play the wild card and trump them to announce the Custom Grind Mizuno Combo's as the winner. Yes its unfair but these guys had no sensitivity when it comes to feel and to be honest had no preference when it comes to shape of the face, top line size and offset. i'm talkin low single digit players with oversized cast irons. I boiled it down with my own extensive testing, the G-Field NC-1s have had over 25 rounds of play while the custom grind mizunos 5-7 less... The G-Field NC-1 vs Custom Grind Mizuno Show Down: The NC-1s are definitely a more forgiving club from long iron to short in comparison to the MP60/32 grind combo. Off center shots went longer straighter with a less harsh vibration. One of the exercises they decided to do as a group was hit one handed iron shots with the 9 iron to test poor impact as well as good. Hands down the NC-1s performed best of all irons tested. I would actually rate the XCB2 more forgiving than the 60/32 combo. I don't look for distance when it comes to irons, I desire accuracy, feel, and setup more than anything so if your a certified yardage freak these observations may not help. The Custom Grind Mizunos have slightly more offset than the G-Fields, a smaller top line and sole. Like I mentioned before because of the standard forged head shape of the 60 vs 32 the set doesn't appear to be a true matching combo from face angle. The 60s have a more shallow face and pointy toe while the 32s are taller rounder and just overall more attractive in my opinion. From a profile point of view the MP32 short irons are the most beautiful scoring clubs I have EVER seen and this was my biggest determining factor, yes i would have chosen the G-Fields in a second if they were put up against a full set of MP60s but the 32s stole my heart and mind just making approach shots more accurate and rewarding. It may be my personal preference for a more compact short iron but from the tee, grass, rough, sand and dirt they were a dream come true. I have owned retail MP32s and they in terms of soft impact and pure feel they don't even compare, the double nickel brushed satin finish is the key here where I remember the chrome feeling just good not spectacular. The soft feel, pin point accuracy, and MP32 profile from above and face view sealed the deal for me and one of the testing participants. This entire experience has taught me loads about iron selection for me as a player. I had good and bad days with all four sets in rain and sun at multiple courses, a total of 6 people contributed and gave decent feedback but nothing a TSG'er would be satisfied with. I cant say that what we selected would be the better iron for you but I am comfortable saying I have successfully and extensively tested some of Japans best Irons. 3 of the 4 irons come from the same manufacture can you guess which three? Being made at the same place means nothing, materials and manufacturing differs between companies and specifics are kept secret. The determining factor for victory " MP32 PW " Here are my brutally honest suggestions and observations when selecting irons for your own. - don't believe the Hype! Companies use words like ______ technology, and put a whole mess of fancy descriptions to convince you that what they did is revolutionary in the golf industry. Keep in mind they pay writers to spruce basic concepts into advanced concepts when its all design variables and attributes to those differences. Lets take a look at rac technology in Taylormades Irons they use a two-step process called coin-forging. The first step forms the rough shape of the head while the second creates the intricate details. It is simply about controlling the vibration in a club head. G-Field has the same concept in the NC-1 milling on the back face to dampen vibration except theirs is done with a CNC machine. Try to follow basic and sound design concepts with brands you know put extreme effort into quality and design. Unfortunatly those are usually the most expensive. - Where is it forged? Its not the OEMS fault you guys get a kick out of comparing foundrys. Fact of the matter is that internet golf forums have been comparing the wrong foundries for years. Its actually quite embarrassing for all of us. Let me give you this example Endo is a manufacturer for Mizuno, Bridgestone, Yamaha, PRGR, S-Yard, Titleist, Callaway, Ben Hogan. 55% of the worlds most famous brands are made by Endo. Now all these guys on the forums are trying to compare apples to oranges or... how about apples to apples? Not really because each brand has different materials, specifications and price points they need to reach and not all clubs forged at the same place feel the same. Throw Miuras foundry in taiwan into this mix and that changes everything you thought you knew about who makes what and why it feels good. Fact is Finish plays the single biggest role on feel with carbon grade being a close second. The higher priced companies use daishin in china while the more economically priced clubs are done usually near or at the foundry. - Custom Grind makes little difference in Irons! This is my ninth set of custom grind mizuos not to mention I have owned each model in its retail form. They way Irons are designed now days are completely neutral and beneficial to all course conditions, The Oems wouldn't design clubs any other way. Keep in mind irons are designed with specific CG locations in a certain location on each club consistently and in some cases with progression. When you get drastic and start making adjustments that location will not only move the sweet spot it will make you compensate for your swing faults where you should be correcting them.

IMO in terms of spin: #1 is the GAS1 Forged with 5 illigal CNC deep grooves #2 is the GAS1-SQBT Milled Face #3 Crews Milled Series

If i were to guess about 550 shipped. let me know if your interested the expensive part is shipping.

I have access to used sets, condition is not so hot if your lucky 8/10.
