OK, Just got back from the range and I can confirm these are the real deal, I'm not a big fan of TM but the R7TP & the new R.A.C Utility Irons have made me re-evaluate that notion. If Tourstage X-Blade Air Muscle is a 5 then these are a 10! At the range today i was able to crank the TM Driving Irons a Mile, they are stupid easy to hit compared to the Mizuno Hi Fli 2, and any Fourteen or SYB driving Iron. These are solid and because of the performance the TP 2U and 3U are for sure in the bag :laugh: Knocked my Gauge Designs 3 Iron flat out cold. The TP is satin finish and the normal version is Chrome. The normal version is super easy to hit. I highly suggest the normal spec unless your a cool factor type guy. Here are is the Normal Spec...Dumb Easy to Hit!! If you want one drop me a PM!

The new Taylormade R.A.C TP and CGB Driving Irons were just released July 1st. I got several in stock and decided to open one of each, the TP U2 w/S300 and CGB U2 w/MAS2 Stiff both look very good but the TP looks extremely good. They both have completely different profiles at address and from most angles. The top line on the TP is thinner and the back cavity is less evident. I played 14 holes yesterday before it got dark and decided to keep the TP U2 in the bag in place of my 7 wood for now. It treated me very well, compared to the CGB spec it had a lower trajectory yet went about the same distance. Perhaps the CGB is better for my game but the TP spec has the cool factor going for it. Is it better than the X-Blade Air Muscle? Yes by far and much easier to hit but its not as clean looking in my opinion, It feels pretty good at impact, nothing soft like an MR23 Cb 2 Iron but forgiveness and control was not a prob. I was working a small draw with the TP but when a fade was necessary it could be done no problem. Its as long as my FUT U3 but not as forgiving. The CGB spec is what I would suggest for those not looking for cool factor because its just so darn easy to get into the air. 12 of you will be very happy, very soon because your TM Driving Irons shipped yesterday 2-4 day EMS. When you get them please post a review my swing has been sketchy in recent days so I don't really know if this club is as good as I think it is. Could have been my swing yesterday :o I will post pics of mine in a couple hours.

July 30th

umm... who's Tiger? :whistle:

They are much softer than Miuras due to the carbon 1018 Steel which is used. Make sure you baby them, these are the softest Irons money can buy in the market.

The proto that I had is the non foamed head that was pretty loud with a metallic feel. The foamed demo i hit reminds me of a muted F-ST...so sweet, now I'm happy I didn't decide on buying the proto. The GAF1s are based on the BBD type H except with a maraging face and foamed head. The will be released in late July. Now, all I have to do is wait until july to know if that 3 wood is gonna cost me an arm or an legs!!!! :whistle: :whistle: It will be 400.00 shipped when it comes out. The standard shaft is the same as a YS8. Its a GD by Graphite Design shaft.

You must be a hacker because I banned you houdini :-D Lets try again....

The Tour proto Eldik & M2+ proto sold in several hours this morning :money: :-D Forgot to ask - any progress on the Member's area? I cleaned them out of Tour stuff, they have the Hoshino putter but its very expensive at 1200.00 shipped: Other than that I hear they are working on the Dennis Chand Eldik belly. In regards to the members area. It is advancing pretty well but still tons of work to do. I want it to be REAL if ya know what I mean. So its worth it to the members. Still several months to wait.

The Tour proto Eldik & M2+ proto sold in several hours this morning :money: :-D Will just have to wait for the next one to appear! :smile2: I asked them to make 5 of them. and its a no go. They will never make a blank sole per request. this M2+ proto was made 6 months before the retails were released. There is one M3+ that is the exact same setup if anyone wants me to go get it. These are the only two that were and will be made like this. You can have drills made and tungsten inserted but no blank soles. 400.00 shipped for the M3+ in the same setup as the one in the pic. (blank sole drilled holes & tungsten Ingots) Here is a pic of the M3+ retail to give you an idea.

Not so hot In my opinion, they have great woods & Irons but their putters need lots of work. I have seen a couple JPGA fully milled putters they have made that look pretty nice.

That is your SM490A before it was shrink wrapped. It is a Tour Division tuned golds factory putter before Sasaya quit from gauge Japan. you cant notice the aluinser because its all black. It says " Made in Japan " , "Type 3 pro series", and the aluinser says Tour Division by GF. SM490A is my new dream metal, I like it even more than GSS. I'm gonna try my best to have an Eldik made with that metal..I doubt it will happen.

Somthing must be done, this kid is rubbing it everyones face that he ran off with thousands and no one can do a single thing. Who has talked to the father? What has been done so far?

I would take the XD325 in a heartbeat :cool:

I-65 72 2.2 W-70 72 3.6 W-60 63 4.8

was it this one?

I'm goo goo for GD, The I-65 is stout but if untipped performs very nice, much like the 757 S or X felt a tad whippy untipped in the R510TP did. My shaft of choice is the W60 on a long course and W70 on a tight course, The I-65 untipped would be perfect on a tight course also. the torque rating and weight is tha main issue when it comes to shaft selection for me. I needed to tip my W60 but not my W70. I do have an R7 TP on order with a GD I-65 with TP graphics. Graphite Design is the #1 tour on the JPGA now and Fuji has been hurt by them when just a year ago it was almost entirely Fuji dominated. If you notice on GD shafts where it says kick point the information listed is " Tip Condition" my best guess is these shafts play stiff soft and are expected to be tipped. W60 = easy to turn over, adds major distance and when tipped works like a charm, untipped the Stiff plays like Stiff/Reg and is great shaft for an anti slice. W70 = very solid weight the torque rating is perfect for someone with a small fade untipped I love it, its perfect for me, tipped it plays a little stout. I-65 = great weight, made for a draw ball flight , torque rating is low but untipped anyone can hit it, depending how deeply inserted. In a TM the I-65 stiff plays soft which i really like.

Happy B-day man!! You have a wonderfull brother :smile2:

Yes it is a mini mini mezza monza chrome color, Japan only made of titanium. Its very distracting and small, it also feels very tin like. It was 500.00 in limited amounts in Japan about 6 months ago. I had them for sale but no one wanted them. I did get the chance to put around with one and didn't like it one bit.

Yup to each is own, I did not like the heel red X but I loved the center shaft version. :smile2:

Nope thats not an option it must stay on.

Chopsticks and string!

I offered to sell his product more aggressively but he is just not interested in getting bigger or making large profits. All he wants to do is make the best most expensive quality product possible, the finishes on some of his putters are hand polished for many hours just to complete one piece. He claims that his putters are the most expensive putter to build in the world. I think he may be correct. I really really loved the SM430A steel putters. so soft and sweet!
