Yup that info is accurate, I was told at one point only 50 center shaft protos were made. There are a ton of different eldiks: - Proto Eldik ( Short Butt, Very heavy some 400g's ) - Tour Eldik ( mid size butt, blue & red - Eldik Retail ( Nano Cast, longest butt, works better than Tour or Proto) - Eldik -N- ( plumbers Neck & new design ) - Eldik -N- Black Alumite finish Here are the really rare ones: - Eldik N Knife Face ( Tour Issue, soft milling marks alumite black ) - Eldik N Teflon Black - Eldik Heavy Retail w/ Black 303 piece - Eldik Proto's in gray, orange, purple & green

Here is the MOZ site: http://www.ishiharagolf.gr.jp/ Let me know what you need, MOZ's take 3-4 weeks. Personally I don't suggest combo sets, a #2 #3 Only but 4 -PW need to be the same for me. Even if ordered with custom lofts, lie, Swing weights there will still be some odd distance gaps and not much consistency gained.

Even though the masses arnt really diggin the new designs, I think its a step in the right direction, I'm so tired of traditional looking designs and concepts, Modern is the way to go. Overused model names make me sick also, usually two letters and 2 numbers MR-23, MP-33, GA01, etc etc yuck! Someone needs to be creative and innovative and I'm glad callaway is doing so with a more futuristic and modern look. I wonder if these are forged?

I had no clue scotty even made a 350/35" inch new Red X :-D Whats a milled golf grip? :-D

I dont see hogan players on the J-Tour at all.

Same here, I think Titleist has always made quality FW's. I could never hit the PT or 970 very well but the 980F I hold in high regard.

Wow and yes thats some very shocking hear say I never had a clue about and it makes me wonder how much in the hole he really is. I like phil, he is a happy guy.

It is true Maru is playing once again in japan. Maru just came in third at the BS-Open and BS as in Bridgestone. Of course, I am playing to win this tournament". Surrounded by more than 10 TV Cameras and more than 50 media, Shigeki showed Maru-chan smile. Bridestone Open is expecting many Maru-chan's fans this weekend. Last tournament Shigeki Played in Japan was 3 years ago. He is sporting his new 04 maru wedges and the new 05 X-Drive.

These 904F's have inherited the design of the 980F fundamentally, The 904's sole is now completely silver unlike the 980's part black sole. The head cover is supposed to be very different and The face now looks more shallow. Some other differences are the score lines on the face and although the 980F had a sharp leading edge and had a more inverse triangle shape instead the new 904 looks semi trapezoid and the roundness and grounding area from the sole has been increased in size.

Yeah Nike has a ton of different balls in Japan, I saw three versions of the JDI ball Jan. 03 They have the bidan which is great for slow swingers and several more in the works. This weeks golf digest weekly ( japan ) has tiny pics of the new titleist clubs and the new ball. I apologize but I am still having problems with getting the mags at good prices but soon as I do I will start selling them online. till feb I'm in Hawaii and don't have my usual access to the good info.

No these pics were E-mailed to Toshi Endo of Anserfreak and he put them up on his site.

The new design 2005 X-drives will come in two sizes off the start. 340 & 405cc. Currently Izawa & Maru are using the 405cc. Just released to the press as of 2 days ago at the Bridgestone open. Many TS protos are in play this week. ...New X-Blades!??

oh yes I know sir. How about this floating slit Futura?

Check out this Nike Proto, I love the shape! Pre Vokey Titleist Wedge

Here are some more pics of the new titleist driver. Test copies are now in Japan and on the JPGA tour. There is also a new Fairway wood I will be posting pics of in the next day or so.

These wedges are sweet, Even some of the TM staffers on the JPGA are using them. Light is correct about the light Swing weight, Its a benefit for wedge feel players. Personally I would send maru's to J.K and get them spec'd out to me. The finish does wear quick, I used to Gun Blue mine to keep them fresh.

I play a lot of plumbers neck anser putters, I prefer a mid length one and was curious about mallets with these necks. Bettinardi makes a few and Gauge Japan has listed it as an option for me now, Do these mallets play similar to an anser and does anyone play them?

I see dont you?

very big differences, The proto is conforming, has a very open face and higher C.O.G, the only shaft option is the high end Graphite Design W70. The old fourteen is the opposite.

I wont sell this one, My initials were engraved and It was a gift I received from gauge when leaving Japan. Funny part is I'm only gone for 4 months. I can make you a custom putter that looks even better, I am really liking it with the floating slits at the moment.

210 + shipping if you guys want. They are ready to ship by next week. Shipping is very expensive close to 90 bucks.

This is a bigger head proto its supposedly 380cc but looks a little less, the ball flight is lower and the contact is super mute, Its shafted with a 569 stiff flex. The 404 is gone I sold it cause i was putting to much spin on the ball with my new swing.
