I was thinking Red X too....but this one looks a whole lot better and if the grooves and milling work like the one on the Balde, that's going to be a spectacular putter. Bull, Just Imagine all of the putters have the same feel as the Balde. Same face marks same steel, same soft sensation. Everything from the Forged CNC series is consistant.

I was never a big fan of Gauge Japan wedges until now... The recent CNC milled 4th anniversary's were not so hot in my book. They just released the new 2005 Forged GAS1 wedge that was designed to accompany the new NC-1 forged Cb's later this year. I put a 53 and 58 into play today and realized its a wedge version of the Balde putter :surprize: Soft forged Carbon Steel, not the double baked finish hardener they used in the past. The Entire Forged Series feels the same, from wedges, putter and on to Irons. Mega, Giga, Balde, Terra. They all have that sweet "3RTNC" soft carbon steel feel They were all made in japan under the same exact tolerances to insure consistency. Five grooves on this wedge were CNC milled very sharp, This wedge will put a good amount of spin on the ball. You will notice a big difference, especially on fast greens... Check them out:

Made in Japan.

The Handmade CB's

Right now Im stuck at a 36.25 index... but im still looking for a compact players blade :whistle: :rough:

This putter is all performance. I ask everyone who owns one to write an honest review. IMO its just about the best feeling and weighted anser on the market today. :nos**t: This putter is available worldwide, just PM me for availibility and pricing.

Yes ask Paul at Shreveport! Its not cost effective to ship one shaft over from Japan.

I'm sorry guys, I don't have any pics of the MR-23 Cb's just yet. The new X-Blade should be available in June and yes with a #2 Iron option. Price will probably be close to 1150.00

I was just told by a Tourstage Japan crafter that a new MR-23 line will be released 3rd Qtr 2005. It will include Maru's new CB iron, FW and Driver. The new X-Blade is also Scheduled for a 2nd Qtr 2005 release

Can anyone post pics of the U.S version?

Yahoo Asia News: SHENZHEN, China : A charged-up Asia won the Visa Dynasty Cup in convincing fashion after trouncing Japan in the 12 singles showdowns in a final day shootout at Mission Hills Golf Club on Sunday. Hsieh Min-nan's men, who took a one-point lead into the final day, rose to the challenge, winning six matches, halving four and conceding only two defeats to the Japanese team skippered by Isao Aoki. The final scoreline read 14.5 to 9.5 in Asia's favour, a result which will send shockwaves back to Japan as their team boasted the likes of world number 24 Shigeki Maruyama, Shingo Katayama and Tomohiro Kondo. Asian debutants Mardan Mamat and Angelo Que were the team's heroes. Singapore's Mamat pulled off a three and one victory over Toru Suzuki to ensure Asia would not lose the Visa Dynasty Cup before Filipino Que rattled home a 15-footer for par on the 18th green to seal a one-hole win over Hideki Kase and give Asia their winning point. "Japan brought out a good team this time after losing in 2003 but we showed that we are strong. I'm very happy with my players," said a jubilant Hsieh. "Winning for the second time proves that Asian golf has a high standard. We kept fighting and never gave up. That was the key to victory." ADVERTISEMENT Thai veteran Boonchu Ruangkit gave the title holders a dream start in the top singles, playing steadily to eke out a two and one success over Takuya Taniguchi. As expected, the other matches were touch and go, which resulted in four matches being halved and three others ending in one-hole finishes. Asia's other singles winners were Thailand's Thammanoon Srirot, Prayad Marksaeng and local hero Zhang Lian-wei, who beat Maruyama in the last match three and two. It extended Zhang's terrific streak in Asia's equivalent to the Ryder Cup, winning all his six matches in two editions. At 27, Que was the baby of the Asian team and the energetic rookie rose to the occasion, winning two out of three points in an unbeaten debut. "We finally did it. It was a tough day but we certainly held off Japan. It shows that we are also good. "We were expecting a good fight today and I'm glad I didn't let the team down," said Que, who was a late call-up to replace Korea's Charlie Wi. After Boonchu's first strike, Asia picked up further points from Thammanoon, who beat Ryoken Kawagishi four and three. Thaworn Wiratchant halved his match with Tomohiro Kondo, Amandeep Johl shared the spoils with Hiroyuki Fujita, Prayad beat Katsumasa Miyamoto four and two and another debutant Mo Joong-kyung earned a half point with Takashi Kamiyama. It was left to Mamat to earn Asia their 12th point, which was the mark needed to retain the trophy. The Singaporean number one was three down after the first three holes but fought back to secure a three and one victory over Toru Suzuki. "It feels great to represent Asia for the first time and win the Cup. This is an unbelievable feeling. This win passes the message to Japan that Asia have top players and that we are doing well," said Mamat. Aoki was disappointed to be on the losing side again. "This time, it was a little better than the first time. I am frustrated but the players are feeling it more than I," said the Japanese golf legend. "Obviously the Asian team was better. My players have to get used to condition of the course more. This is difficult golf course especially on the putting greens." Maruyama was also deflated, especially when he did not win a match from three outings. "Our team is not used to playing such difficult condition. But Asia played so well, they knew the distances, the lines and they knew how to play on this course. When you play "away" everything can be against you. We were like an army that was defeated badly at no man's land. "Unfortunately I did not win. I tried hard but Zhang played well. I came here for Asian golf and I might not be on top of the world ranking or will be chosen by the captain the next time, but I like to beat Asia in the future." - AFP /ct

I could only secure two sets of the H.Mades, one is mine, and the other looks like its going to a member. The NC-1's will be the same price as the MB's.

Yup Lefty's you can now get a set of Custom Mizzy MP30's from the factory. Custom - 1250.00 Custom Grind 1500.00

The retail version is called the NC-1 The Studio Version is very limited and features a more rounded and progressive weight area in the back of each iron. Notice how the CNC milling is rounder and lower on the long Irons, that promotes a lower center of gravity where its needed most. I have not hit the Studio's yet, I have only hit the NC-1's and they were as expected " Awesome ". Studio Pics

Here are pics of the new 2005 Gauge Japan CB Irons for 2005. There are 2 versions of this club a retail and a studio hand made spec. Retail version due out Mid June Only 300 sets per month Studio H.Made Only 20 sets per month.

Doesn't the Gauge website say 340g's for the weight? This is TSG man, We are special, All the Balde's I sell are 350g's and its stated on the label. :laugh:

Ace is on Delay probably around may.

I play a cut shot with my drivers and just recently switched to a big head high torque shaft combo, the DFI 460 teamed with the Mamiya Axiv 6064M shaft: 62G Torque 4.2 FLX/6.4 Mid Kick CPM 269. with this driver/shaft I am now hitting some decent draws now that feel really rewarding. I have always stayed away from torque ranges this high but teamed with this large a head size Its making me draw the ball. My Question is, is there a certain head size vs Torque rating that creates a different flight pattern?

Mr. Aluinser has a set for sale in great condition with the very rare NS M266V shafts. Drop him a PM...

Check it out guys! Thx for sharing your pics NakedDave!
