I play MR23s but have owned HTs and ST Fairwaywoods. I reccomend the MR23s because they are much longer and have a square face. the F-ST has a closed face definatly more forgiving but not as long. I also hit the ViQ FWs and they are sweet also awesome feel, pretty long and very forgiving they also have the first 4 wood by TS in a long while.

ALoha from hawaii guys, Im able to still handle orders the same way but shipping will have to be EMS 2-4 day. Take a look at the BS/TS japan golf website if there are any other bags you are interested in.

Ive owned all three and liked them for the most part, my least favorite was the TS201s a little to game improvement for my. The MR23s were not forgiving enough for my swing when i was not in focus but felt the softest of the three mentioned. I now play the TS XCBs I feel they have almost the same amount of forgiveness as the 202s but with a smaller topline and less offset. great iron in my opinion im thinking of having them refinished in satin with black paintfill.

The top pic is of the CGB putter its a reasonable price with a high MOI for an anser style due to tungsten inserts at 9g each. The bottom is the expensive Daytona TP model. Both of these will be released along side the R7 april 10th. I made some practice puts with them and really liked the TP.

MR23 CBs U.S Spec haven't been made for quite some time now. Only 1500 were made and sold out pretty quick. If your lucky you can find them new for 700 in Japan. If your lucky.

Bridgestone dont care really if a few sets go here or there especially if its for a customer. If its a bulk order for a shop then they have a problem but ive spoken with many there on this subject and its Ok.

Its available in the U.S for very cheap about 300.00$

I really like this driver, there are tour versions that i have hit that are conforming with and open face. I found it plenty forgiving with good feel. I thought it was long and for the price of the U.S version its a winner.

They remind me of the TS301s that size some offset but definitely game improvement and very forgiving. It known for its feel and vibration absorbing technology as well as having tungsten inserts.

I now understand that some wholesalers will recive their first shipments starting march 8th but are in danger of losing the TM account if they are caught selling before March 4th.

The ViQ Irons look black in person but blue in the photos. Thats cools stuff.

It not nearly the hottest driver in Japan but it is the best selling driver of 2003 and perhaps 2004. XXIO is geared toward the slower swing speed player with every XXIO driver having a closed face 1 degree - 2.5 degrees 8O . They are made by Dunlop and dunlops brand for better players is Srixion with square and slightly closed face drivers. I compare XXIO to callaway with there thick top line and large cavity irons.

The Japanese version has the word "MAX" on the toe. It is high COR and non-conforming. The conforming version may say R7 on the toe. Thanks for the quick reply. Is a conforming version getting released in Japan April 1? Its actually April 10th and as far as i know no conforming version will be sold in Japan.

3 - PW with NS PRO shafts $1290 EMS shipped Retail price is 151000 yen 5 - PW with NS PRO shafts $990 EMS shipped Retail price is 113000 yen The release date is early March.

I double checked the link and its working fine and is playing well, please try to upgrade or update your real one player :? I'm not sure but if anyone can help brother mike with some tech jargon please do so.

GREAT NEWS! There are mens versions of the T100 Utility woods also!

I hope the 580xd tours don't drop out that fast because there is a long wait for the U.S release of the R700. I know many of your members have the XD tours and wouldn't want there pockets to hurt from me posting the info on the new R7 series.

I have unlimited bandwidth and storage space so were all good, I got tired of the site going down and me having to upgrade the bandwidth. The show was a big event with every big wig there, it was the official 1st release anywhere in the world. It was 50min long but lots of it was about japans economy improving and profit #s for TM japan.

OK guys we had to make it a streaming file because of the size my camera was set at during the presentation Streaming files do lower quality for that I am sorry. I will be showing in Real One player and I recommend you make the screen/window as small as possible to provide better quality resolution and make things more clear. The Link is on the main page just below the refinishing area, again sorry about the quality and time it took for me to figure this out but it has paved the road for a TSG video section where you can upload your digital swing pics and get professional advice online. coming soon in the near future. Again best settings is theater mode with a reduced screen size to view with better clarity.

A little note about that...they said it would be against regulations and in fact a penalty if you adjust your R700 during play. 8O

Your correct mach thanks for bringing this to our attention :lol: Here is a pic from the Nike Japan web site of there new blue chip mallet.
