  1. It was free but they stopped offering this because no one requested it.
  2. Thoughts in the blog with pics right here:
  3. I will drop a pic for you guys to buy me some time as I write my full review :)
  4. Lets take it further and talk grinds, does a 60s extra bounce, trailing, heel, and toe grind make it more versatile? only for shorter, higher and more delicate types which are all still specialty in nature while the 58 can act as a semi approach wedge and a lob style wedge. This is not a what is better conversation, ita a given that the player and circumstances will determine the persons decision. Im just stating you can do a wider range of useful shots for most players with a 58*. And for the most part its easier to hit in more situations.
  5. what comment was incorrect? and no 58 is more versatile than 60*. tour use of 60* doesnt mean a thing when it comes to versatility. it simply means there is more players using that loft on tour. does super open club faces equal more versatility? does X flex shafts? what is used on tour has nothing to do with versatility. golf digest usa and japan back this up, as do many other articles but all those aside cant you see via manipulation of the club 56/58/60 as options are more versatile than 58/60/62?
  6. Full run down in the blog, I like it and some of you will absolutely like it, we will sell many for sure but is it cool with it's medium sized head and neo forgiving face shape? anyone can play this, the tech is very C16'ish with it's ERK95 L Forged Cup Face but in the end it will boil down to what type of golf you want to play. Who win's your eye or your score?
  7. We now have 1 entry... Odd's are good for this guy! If he's the only one who enters he will win all 15 wedges!
  8. We haven't done a dedicated forum contest in a long time. This one is for forum members only, the most recent contests included 30k newsletter subscribers, 100k+ social media fans 20k forum members so the odds were 1 out of more than 150k for simply providing an email and clicking enter contest, who want's to enter a contest like that again, not me. So this time I'd like to narrow it down a lot and have 5 winners. 1 - 2016 Seven Wedges 52/56/60 in Translucent Red 2 - 2016 Seven Wedges 52/56/60 in Translucent Blue 3 - 2016 Seven Wedges 52/56/60 in Translucent Green 4 - 2016 Seven Wedges 52/56/60 in Translucent Orange 5 - 2016 Seven Wedges 52/56/60 in Translucent Purple How to enter is simple: Write a testimonial about TSG and email it to [email protected] Here are the rules: - The title of the email must be "TSG Seven Wedge Forum Contest" - You must have more than 100 forum posts - You must be a customer of TSG That's it and I will choose 5 winners deciding based on how well the testimonial was written and announce who they are to everyone. I will update this post frequently on how many people have entered, I expect that number to be very low so the odds should be good. One more thing the people who win must write a review on the wedges in the forum creating a separate thread. These are wedge heads only, TSG pays for shipping, if you want it shafted you will have to pay for shaft + install & grip. This contest starts now and ends June 1st. We are giving away total of 15 wedges to 5 different people. Click Here for more info on the exact model of prize Game On!
  9. I have no experience with SPB's and don't know the difference compared to the 125s. To me it sounds like if you are comfortable with the flex of the SPB's then keeping X in the 125's is the way to go, if you want a touch softer/higher soft step. 125's are more butt stiff and play firmer to flex than the 120 & 130 imo.
  10. No need to apologize your just missing the point, Let me guess you play a 60*? great well so do I. I never said 58* is in use more than 60* you get this right? The info I've given you in the OP is directly from Titleist and is accurate within their brand, I care not if 58 is is used more or less than 60*. THEY are saying 58* use is growing against 60* on the PGA tour. This is not my opinion it's Titleist's facts. Also take into what I said about distances. this is backed up for years in Japanese golf mags. Again explain how a 60* is more versatile than a 58* please.
  11. The difference is how much of it is used. when a shaft says 80T it doesnt mean full length, I can only think of one full length 80T shaft and its the crazy 9 the others reinforce areas with 80T or so. Also keep in mind breakage rate of full length high end carbon is very high so they need to work in covering it under warranty.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. I have some customers claiming 20-40yds gain with a 7D shaft in their existing driver.
  16. 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.
  17. "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.
  18. Full post in blog, pics right here:
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.

  24. 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.
  25. 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.
