USGA Non-confroming Driver recommendation
TourSpecGolfer replied to egolfer's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
Its a 460cc head with a carbon crown the shape is more XR05-03-R7 style, Its high hitting and the 8.5 plays like a 9.5 but with a tipped Fuji 569 or 661 or perhaps a Graphite Design W60 this driver is a killer. retail on a TM CTi is over 110,000yen. The shaft cant be custom ordered by TM so I suggest you find a pull to save $$$. -
HK80 Tour Spec or Graphite Design M85 tipped to your desire. You will like either choice :love:

USGA Non-confroming Driver recommendation
TourSpecGolfer replied to egolfer's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
Taylormade CTi Driver is very long and forgiving. Id really like an 8.5 with a 60g aftermarket shaft. -
Ah I see... Jack has the most extreme case of the club freak syndrome. Jack I can help you, lets put you on standing order system and Ill just keep shipping them to your door :whistle:

? TSG..Re Srixon, heard anything about the I-404 irons?
TourSpecGolfer replied to alohano's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
I have seen the Driver, It looks great and very modern, Srixon always makes good stuff. Most of their pros still play the I-202's but I really enjoy both Irons. I'm sure I-404s will come out one day but I don't think the 302s got the credit they deserved. So far their line up is getting stronger with the release of the blades, Driver, and some really good stuff in the future. All they need now is to purchase a putter crafter. -
I can get them now for you but they will be in chrome. The ones in the pics are Custom Satin.
-
I will put the new line in the Catalog site in a week or so, I have been putting that off for too long :D
-
I think its an improvement over the 510TP. Longer, more forgiving and just plain out easy to hit. I did have crap results with the stock shaft but after an install of the Graphite Design W60 all has been good with this club. Very solid stick. I suggest pick up a cheap retail version slap on the shaft you like best and keep in mind the hosel depth and you should be rockin.
-
No I think they are the same thing just from different places or manufactures. I didn't do any actual research on it but I found out the GSS is 100% from a particular area of a German Steel District.

They were retail Japan clubs at one point the R300ti Tour is the 300 Tour but non conforming. It came stock with the Mitsubishi shaft or custom 757. Last year TM Japan closed these out for 90.00 each to select shops. Last year I found a ton of the 9.5s in every shop for 15,000 yen or 140.00. Imagine brand new non conforming 300 Tours with Mitsu shafts for 140.00 :laugh:
-
The Fourteens are very forgiving, even more than the MP33s. They have a great feel to them but are not forged, instead they are some fancy cast style that they selected over forged steel. If you like blades I suggest the Srixon Pro 100's and the Fourteen TB1000.

Tourstage Prototype Driver!!
TourSpecGolfer replied to TourSpecGolfer's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
Hey guess what guys I found out that it is conforming because Izawa only plays pro spec drivers with full score lines on the face. just another tid bit i thought i should share :o -
They actually teach this to many old people in Japan, Im talking 70 years old old.

Bargains can still be found on Ebay, check it out!!!
TourSpecGolfer replied to primo's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
That seems about right or 50 low. That model is the older mallet style. When i read the header i thought it was the Irons and almost wet my pants. -
Never played these irons, When dealing with Gold's Factory keep in mind everything is ordered from the same place as Gauge Japan, the small differences are that Golds Factory does a lot of hand polishing and groove work himself. He is a one man army! Tuned by Golds Factory means just that the putter was tuned by Sasaya perhaps a hand polish or aluinser job or somthing else. Sasaya no longer works for Gauge Japan.

Jack your spoiled with the forgiveness of the GD's I think you should go MP-27 MP-30 Combo or just MP27's. The 30's are not forgiving in my book, more along the lines of the TM Rac Cbs. I also ordered me the MP-33 PW because i thought maybe the 27 PW would be a tad bulky but was surprised that it was perfect. BTW check these out: Nikel Finish
-
:surprize: Im not sure if most of you realize what Tai has got. They are not easy to get and take a while to arrive most often, but it looks like its well worth the wait. Cant wait till you hit them and can give us a review on the set.

Tourstage Prototype Driver!!
TourSpecGolfer replied to TourSpecGolfer's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
Shucks! I posted it before i had the chance to. How about I get a pen and write the head weight on the sole then put a little dot where I think the sweet spot should be :wink: Anyway What do you think it will go for? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...me=STRK:MESE:IT -
The bounce on the 58 is 12 also.

So far 2 rounds in with these sweeties and I am very happy. Id like to start off with what custom features it has, the grind shape everything is stock MP-27 except with a Satin finish, Mizuno text removed and the M stamp inserted. I selected NS pro 1050 X flex and they flex out by feel almost the same as my PX 6.0's. The lengths are half an inch longer and the lie is .5 flat over normal Japanese specs. The lofts also match the Gauge Design Irons lofts at 1-2 degrees stronger. Yup they are on steroids :laugh: My wedges 52 & 58 both have NS pro 850 G.H shafts to create a head heavy feel. This means they had to make the heads special heavy to spec out at D4 with that shaft. Forgiveness ( 4.0 ) Its very forgiving considering the way it sets up. I am comparing them to the XCB and Gauge Irons and would say the Gd's are more forgiving but the MP-27s are more so than the X-Cb. Distance ( 4.5 ) These irons are just as long as my Gd's because the lofts are jacked the same. I lost very little distance with mis hits. Feel ( 4.5 ) They shine in this department, I would have to give some of the credit to the way the shaft absorbs vibrations. The pure perfect shots come off very soft but not mushy. Trajectory ( 4.0 ) High with the long Irons and mid with everything else, again its gotta be a loft and shaft combination producing it for me. I am very satisfied with the results. My optimum trajectory for almost any club is what the S300/TM Driving Iron gives me. Overall I give these irons a rating of 4.25 / 5pts total. My first round was amazing two hole outs from 100- 110 yds out. I am having problems with the 58* having such a large bounce from hard pan lie. I did nail Every bunker shot within 5 ft from the pin for both rounds. My bunker game is not so hot and these have helped me so much I'm going to stick with the LW and try to learn to hit it better from the grass. I'm not 100% sure if these will knock the Gd's out the bag. Only time can tell.

Tourstage Izawa belt & Shoes
TourSpecGolfer replied to TourSpecGolfer's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
There are several hidden costs like 5% tax, Delivery to my office 10.00, paypal 3% and expensive EMS shipping. Thats why Import product still maintains ite premium price, I must go way below retail and still make very little. about 160.00 shipped EMS is what you should expect. -
Tourstage Izawa belt & Shoes
TourSpecGolfer replied to TourSpecGolfer's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
I play the exact same shoes, and what the biggest difference to me was it is soft leather that doesn't need to be broken in. very nice feel. The shoes are 175.00 Shipped but sizes are limited to under 10 U.S. I ask if your interested to use an on line conversion chart to figure out your size in CM. -
Our good member Shokosugi picked up a lot of new stuff in the past couple weeks and here is his latest buy that i just had to post cause the look soooo sweet. :cool:
