58* is more versatile that's simple to understand. The info I have provided is for PGA Tour use within Titleist players, in Japan we already know 58* is used a lot more than 60* and one of the reasons for that is on the PGA tour these guys often require one less long club because they have more distance while in Japan distances are shorter so many prefer an extra hybrid or fairway wood. The only case where a player would find 60* more versatile is if he uses a 60/62* more often than a 58/60* The 56/68/60 is what a 58* will give you based on manipulating the club face A 60* will give you 58/60/62 in a similar fashion.

Im not worried about their brand image, I dont see any other shaft co coming close in terms of high end and imo it can come back down to earth a little with no ill effects. Keep in mind everyone is still buying their least expensive product. if your feeling fancy dancy they have shafts to make you a part of the 0.0001% The customers are happy and more people are trying the fairway and hybrid shafts now. This was the goal and its working. 7D just made me a shaft similar to the FW80 but with a higher launch angle so Im a happy camper and hope more aggressive swingers who want a heavy softer tip draw biased shaft try similar.

That head is not 10yds longer than the other heads in thay trial. The difference in distance is due to how that club head+shaft+build specs fit the player. Each of those players should have better yardage with their own gamers if they dont then they have a lot to learn about what equipment works for them.

I have some customers claiming 20-40yds gain with a 7D shaft in their existing driver.

64* is specialty imo. I game this and pretty much only for bunkers or if high on a hill hitting a short one down to the green that must stop. outside of that it doesn't get much use but I can't sell it either.

"versatile" - able to adapt or be adapted to many different functions or activities... so yes 58 is more versatile, 60 will simply let you hit the ball higher. 58 degrees provides the best versatility for your highest-lofted wedge and a more solid contact for optimized greenside spin. shut her down or forward press to act closer to a 56* or open the face on its trailing edge grind and she can be a 60.

This is what I asked due to that little weight, his answer wasn't exactly clear imo. He said that this head will square up the club face very easily but will not hook. To me I thought draw biased. But we had a great time at a many brand demo day with lots of average to great players and what he said checks out, guys who have a bad shot of hook actually hooked it less than many other clubs that were definitely not draw biased. To me this appeared to be part of my same question, he said the club head squares up easier with a longer length so going to 46" will help a person who wants to hit a draw while going shorter will help a person who wants to hit a fade. Compared to the grandista face height seems similar depth to slightly more shallow, it's hard to judge as it's a different shape and finish. Anyway I'm moving this into my bag, I will get 2 and foam one and play one at 45.5" and the other at 44.5". One with a 7D Ginza the other with a LOOP BW SX.

Well photos anyway the review is in the blog. How is this one different? All previous modart drivers are 435cc's while the new MA01D+R is 460 Previous modart drivers are mid trajectoy/low spin, this new MA01D+R is mid/high trajectory with low spin This driver is designed for play over 45" in length.

Understood sir and thank you, email me if you need custom ground Miura or Mizuno's. Congrats on your skills :) hope you get the cap back down again.

May I ask what happens when you play moderate offset irons? I assume your a very good player and most better players I know seem to hit almost anything well.

A lot goes into putting then there are different philosophies on just about everything more so than any other club except maybe the driver. You need to find your own personal theory imo I follow a few general rules of thumb for customers yet not for myself. I found this on golfalot that helps explain it clearly. Face Balanced Putters Face Balanced describes putters that have a face that faces upwards when you balance the shaft on your finger. This will mean that the centre of gravity is directly below the axis of the shaft. Face balanced putters will tend to open less on the backswing and close less on the follow-through, which is why they are recommended to players with a straight putting stroke. Toe Balanced Putters Toe Balanced putters are putters whose toe wants points to the ground when you balance the shaft on your finger. This means the centre of gravity is not directly below the shaft axis. Toe balanced putters are more inclined to open and close throughout the stroke and are therefore better suited to players with an arc in their putting stroke. but again it's all very personal.

TM Onset Scratch ZO KZG ZO none of these are technically zero offset. zero offset would be like having 6.0FP 3-PW. Onset about 6.5-7.0FP So if your looking for minimal offset like those Mizuno or Miura custom grinds can get it close.

Very close is what? how many mm? As I mentioned you can't go zero or even what I consider "very close to zero" unless the molds are made to do this. My guess is what you thought was zero was not zero in the long/mid irons.

So the owner of Grandista came up with this specific layout of milling & neck length and used it for his own GF putter, the vertical PZ mill was actually found to have a better roll on camera than horizontal not by much though but a smoother roll off the face with a touch less skip. The short neck is yes more toe hang or flow which we do have more requests for than face balanced. Keep in mind VM tech helps with face balance as well but not enough. So right now we have only finished 5pcs of SEVEN X GF Putters. I have released 4 and they sell well, I will tell you the next one is not as fancy as the last 2 but still nice. We will make more in the future this is not a limited series just something to do for people who want special putters. Since it's all based on the customers eye there is no better or worse but I get what your saying you don't want to buy one and the next one is even better to you but such is life and that would be something uncontrollable from our end as we don't know who will like what if at all.

Don't do zero offset, first because it requires specific molds created to get a true 0 offset in the long and mid irons (short is no problem). Second all brands have offset for a reason it makes clubs easier to hit. I get this request somewhat often and it's always the claim "my eye can't stand offset". trust me it's there for a reason and by FP #'s the difference between 5.0 vs 5.5 vs 6.0 FP is so small visually but has a big impact performance if you think zero is the solution your kidding yourself. Even if your on the PGA tour in the top 5 you will notice FP helps in long/mid irons. But if you must you must so Mizuno Yoro and Miura can be pushed to crank the heads enough to get you close. The original molds of long/mid irons have more offset so cranking them to none before grinding causes a strange look, short irons can be made with zero offset and some PW's with onset if you like.

Well of course the more is merrier. Yup that post is on page 2. Have you seen the cast irons?

If you were to isolate as many variables as possible with the use of a swing robot indoors all drivers would be 5yds possibly 10 at most longer/shorter than each other. but if you pair the proper attributes to the player with head and shafts you can find up to 30yds difference.

never trust the hot list. but yes lots of XXIO. the answer depends on where and who you play with. the masses i often see usdm in the bags but for the hardcore and better players I usually see JDM botique brands.

Thats a sad list you have there. None of the above. but in short the answer is simple: the one that fits you and has the right shaft combo for your swing. your question is as broad as asking "what loft is the best?"

This will depend on the skills of your clubmaker.

You dont bring a head, just tell them the details on the one you have as it will take approx 4-5 weeks for them to build your shaft and send it to you so you can build yourself. let me know when and I can arrange an english speaker. Its not something you swing by and check out they are by appointment only and as the blog post mentions that 1hr fitting comes at a pretty penny. Although the Umeda lab is beautiful I still suggest the Shiba-Koen lab. We request a particular designer there as well and add line item requests.

My favorite part is when the black box shows up at the door:
