Here are pics from the PGA tour of the New Titleist 695 Forged MB's Check out the Hosel! and the 503I proto:

I was able to play a good 3 rounds with this club, the first round was with the M-43 stock shaft which produced a really nice high fade for me, not so great against the wind but just amazing downwind with what seemed to feel like extended hang time. After re shafting it with the new Axiv 6064M by Mamiya, the mother company of UST I was hitting tight draws as expected, the hang time was reduced with the re-shaft but overall i was getting a much better ball flight and trajectory. The combo of 10.5 degrees loft and a tipping makes this high torque shaft play very smooth with a vibrant kick. The TR-X Head reminds me of an R7 from profile. The feel is a very soft hollow thwack when hit on the screws, when hit off center it feels like a normal titanium driver. The Driver head has a regular C.F.R.P compression rating which gave me the impression that it puffs up and expands at impact which helps release or push it off the club face. So far this Driver has beat the Nike DFI+ just based on distance alone. IMO its a very easy club to hit and It will be interesting to see how it ranks against a few others I have coming. Against the R7 I think I can say it seems longer and more forgiving yet with many of the same setup characteristics, very well made and finished and the Magnet Head cover is best i have seen yet.

Still waiting on my ERC Hot 460 and the R7-XR then they both need to be reshafted. As of now I only have the DFI and TR-X

:wah: Many have slipped through my fingers, Hoshino GSS Gauge Japan putter Gauge MB " Tour Version " Srixon 2004 "TN" CB's Also in Japan almost 2 years ago i had the chance to get MR-23 CB's with more offset and graphite shafts and some Japanese name on the sole but i passed cause it was 2600.00...lol :confused: Also some Mizuno Proto wedges I missed out on...

He has been using this retail V-Steel for over a year on long courses. Short he only takes a 5 & 7.

This Year my goal is to buy one of every killer import club, thats right every good driver, irons, FW, putter, wedge etc etc.. just 1 of each for pic and review purposes. :whistle: I like them a lot, its just I have 2 more personal sets of custom grinds coming and I would like to get ideas on a third. These never even came close to replacing my Gauge MB's, the only threat they would have is the new NC-1 CB coming out in June. Sorry this is not an option for us.

We are preparing a golf blog that we would like a total of 3 contributing participating members to help us out with. Basically they would be E-mailing 1 short blog preferably with a pic once a week. That way we could have 4 completely different views on one blog and offer consistent updates. If anyone enjoys writing, has hit Tour, Import, and Retail equipment and is ready to help please let us know. FYI: Member must be a seasoned golfer with a good knowledge of most clubs and considered " in the know".

The GAF1 has been canceled and discontinued. A new model called the GAF2 or GU2 will be coming to the market later this year. For now I play the new C.V pro:

NS pro, is a good company, they make light shafts, not many men play them on the mini or PGA tour but a few LPGA players use them. They produce a higher ball flight and play weak to flex. They look and feel good but to the majority of U.S players they are too soft and hit to high. I just hit the 1150 shaft from them and its no Gem IMO, Its a heavy NS shaft that still balloons the ball for my swing. I have not hit the GD SL shafts yet.

Welcome to TSG! We have 5 pages of Tourstage/Bridgestone product to choose from. http://www.tourspecgolf.com/catalog/index....0c10d7c5d4903b3

I use all types, Cooking and Olive Oil. Im sure there are better types at a gun or hardware shop.

Just look at these guys for now... RAW

Can you help me, I need a 4, 5 & 6 LH MX-23 heads only. r/dennis No sir, Sorry cant help there, the MX-23's are U.S only. Japan selected the MP-27s to go with instead. I did'nt even think of the MP27's that would work out great. a 4,5&6 head help... please No heads Only from Mizuno but I can get Custom 4, 5, & 6 Iron MP27 clubs for you. They will be expensive because they would be customs.

bump for pics:

I have our first order of Iomic Wood/Iron/Putter grips shipping on May 20th. You guys will see it up for sale as soon as they arrive!

The Shaft needs to go! Axiv now Installed, Testing 9 holes later this afternoon. The hosel is no bother its just a bit more style than most are used to, its basically the same. Overall the quality of this beauty is amazing. Not many Drivers are made in Japan. It reminds me of the R7 in a way, Deep face, similar view from above.

No sir they dont have 60* lofts :confused: 52,53,56,58 Only, Sorry.

So which did you end up keeping in the bag? If your looking for ultimate soft feel the less expensive Forged CNC milled Series is the softest.

The Gauge H.Mades are sold out but the difference was the progression of the milled hump within the cavity. The Retail spec is called the NC-1 and has a smaller cavity that I guess would make it less forgiving. Still gauge Irons have always been more forgiving than almost everything in its player category. The differences between the old CBs and the NC-1 are huge, no more Japan shovel look on the short Irons thin top line very little offset, these baby's setup perfectly for the better player. I hit the NC-1 and its only a tad more forgiving than the MB's. The H.Mades have a different lighter finish on them also. http://www.tourspecgolf.com/modules.php?na...ewtopic&t=17156

Guys, Thank You! This set is now for sale, PM me if you have interest before it hits the B/S/T and Ebay!

So I got the most recent set of Custom Grind Mizzy Irons in and just love them.. :love: Id like to order another but need the feedback on what to get. Any Suggestions on setup, grind, finish, stampings/fill etc... I'm going to get them with the New NS Pro 1150's. There are currently mixed reviews on this shaft so I need to find out for myself.

Both bags are no longer popular. Many people are ordering the new Tourstage Carry Bag, its a tad heavier but built well. The Titty 41 was great but they stopped making it.

I would say oil it once every month or so. Also do not let Green fertilizer dry on any shinny/chrome finish, you will see a chemical reaction.

Nice Review...IMO its on the Money! The Balde is getting similar reviews from everyone. The Mega and Giga both feel Identical to the Balde but the Eldik M is a bit more crisp and firm.
