  1. 1) Golds doesnt make putters 2) Tiger switching to a Nike had nothing to do with his ability to sink putts. Any company can take Tiger or Spieths putter 3-D scan it an make an exact duplicate down to the mm or less.
  2. yes Kamakura about 1 hour by express from Tokyo
  3. The Lofts are 21 24 27 30 34 38 42 47 Soft Black is very durable, many members have it maybe they can chime in as well.
  4. Not many in the last week so yes somewhere around 20! odds are good!
  5. It's a square face, I've brought this up with Jbeam and they explained to me in person how the bulge and crown make it look slightly closed.
  6. Here are the first pics of the Buchi VS200+ irons, they are designed to be more forgiving and while they look similar things are very different. - The 4 iron to 6iron are a more cavity back design - The 4 iron to 8 iron are 2* stronger loft while the 9 & PW is 1* stronger - It has a slightly wider sole and lower center of gravity - slightly higher bounce across the set The bottom line is they are easier to hit than the standard VS200. I have sets being made in Black Boron right now.
  7. No info yet, just a pic!
  8. it's the bulge + paint that gives it this look.
  9. Even if I said it was no good we may still have inventory issues, this is because the ZY-11 was so damn good to most who purchased it that the ZY-7 has a lot to live up to. Good news and I will be brief is the ZY-7 is the better club I'm not gonna say why I feel that way just yet.
  10. Size wise the TF vs Glorious they are almost the same but the TF hides it a touch better, volume in cc's are just about equal. Shape is better on the TF, Glorious is designed for the higher handicap while TF fits a big range of player, TF feels a bit more stable and goes longer as well. TF has a slightly higher pitch tone to it, Glorious is stainless. Both have a similar trajectory mid/high but shaft will be the main factor in that.

    ya this Baldo FW Head is more for the better player, not saying your not that just saying if you struggle with FW's there may be better but I have hit this Baldo it's explosive, feels spongy and very long. The Jbeam TF is better off the turf, easier, and in 17.5 even easier. ball flight is about the same, much depends on the shaft. Crazy Full Titan is great too. both Jbeam and Crazy have a more shallow face and cleaner designer to make smooth contact with ground, feel is great on both, Love the Ryoma but it's a bit deeper, requires a little better contact for as good a result.
  12. I can share more next march sir. We are working closely with them now.
  13. Im a fool, i missed top pics of both FW and UT :( Yes Jbeam can reem any Jbeam head, the ferrules will be offline though.
  14. are these hit ? or brand new? great wedges! the smallest and imo best buchi wedge

    Crazy Full Titan or Jbeam TF-FW in 17.5 !!
  16. Weeks back I swung by J-Beam's head quarters to check out their new full titanium TF Fairway Woods. I snapped these photos and was able to hit each loft on the launch monitor against my own gamers. The new TF caters to a wide range of players from the better golfer who wants an easier long distance fairway wood to the mid and high handicapper who is looking to make easy contact with a high penetrating launch. These surprisingly fit the bill for all players. I play Modart Fairway Woods and have for a long time the reason why I prefer them is because they are easy to make clean contact with the ball off the fairway but also they are penetrating and low spin for a very straight shot, I've been so happy with them I never felt the need to wander elsewhere. That was until now, I went to Jbeam to pick up a prototype of the new ZY-7 driver and while there got to test the TF fairway and utility woods. As you can see below the face is somewhat shallow not supper shallow but what I would consider a touch taller than shallow. this helps the ball get airborne easier. The head is a 2 piece structure made fully of titanium and slightly oversized at 210cc's. what makes these fit a wide range of player is the shaft you insert, I tried all the various aftermarket major brand shafts at Jbeam along with their very own Yamazaki shafts which are absolutely fantastic no matter what head you put them in. The result I preferred was the YZ-Black Fairway shaft in SX flex which comes in at 68 grams and had a multi kick point design that produces very tight dispersion and mid/high trajectory. The TF-FW has 3 variants of 3 woods, 13.5/15.5/17.5 along with 19.5 and 21.5 these lofts make it a very good choice, I'm torn between the all 3 lofts not sure which to get, I think I would leave it up to the type of course I am playing as the 17.5 while 20yds shorter than the 13.5 was super easy to hit consistently enough so I would be stupid not to choose that loft. Also we now offer hosel reeming which combined with hand picked heads is giving you the ability to have flatter or more upright lie angles and the more extreme face angles. Thanks for reading!
  17. Sorry guys not yet. Release is 6/7 will be posting before then. Quantity is limited, It would be a mess if I oversold these so must be careful and hold back a bit.

    this is a great head!
  19. 7D has not nailed down the process for these shafts yet, they do have prototypes Ive rolled in various heads. MPBs shaft is 120g they designed it based on his preferences in the many 7D wood shafts he already has. When its all final there will be a form related to putting. Whats strange is they told me pro feedback has been greatest for their 95g shaft which I cant wrap my head around such a light putter shaft. Right now nothing is final, MPBs is a true prototype he is the only person outside of a few tour pros with one. They have taken such a long time on the creation of this shaft because they want to influence roll not just feel and are seeking tangible results.

    Because higher handicap players are not consistent we have found a spin reducing shaft that is anti slice and squares up quickly is a very big deal. Head's matter especially for better players it's about 50% of the equation. For the best players even the variance in the tolerance & CT makes a difference so yes I'm saying the soft face thing is a problem, even CT if 2 drivers have 20pts difference in CT distance gain/loss is noticeable. Only when all things are equal then the top heads are all within 5-10yds of each other.

    Site will let you now.
  22. Never! They are dead to me :) Just posting this info for the members.
  23. We designed and produced a very special murdered out Gold's putter for our Mpbachman and for such a special product it deserved a special shaft. Well 7D isn't releasing the putter shaft until July so we pulled some strings and got him the very first prototype to be sold to a consumer worldwide. The weights and inserts are done in black mirror so at different angles they look different types of darks. Sorry the photos are not the best, 7D took them for me.
