  1. I have not hit these yet but higher launching, somewhat forgiving is what should be expected. the shallow face & Ti construction are the two giveaways that lead me to think this.
  2. oh yes and I want the new ford raptor as well, I had a fully modded raptor in the past and of every car ive had it made me the most happy.
  3. I like the car a lot especially the power but everything is not nearly as intuitive as Mercs are, In the past I also had an ML and Caynne and I think overall Mercedes just feel smoother, the gadgets and placements seem to make more sense. For BMW custom coding is required to make it play like a merc but I dont have time for that. Im eyeing the new E63 Estate wagon once it releases, I like SUVs a lot though. Im not going to be living in the states for a while so my car is sitting and Im blessed not to have to think about a new one as I have a very bad habit of taking a hit due to switching to frequently.
  4. Miura Craftsman World CB-1008 Custom Irons - Another heavily customized set from the Miura Giken Factory in Japan, this set features a Copper - Nickel - Chromium Mirror finish this is the softest feeling chrome mirror finish available anywhere, the sole has the custom grind dent sole option and the heads have been ordered extra heavy. Finally we have requested as little offset possible on this head design making it look like a butter knife at address.
  5. Introducing the new Crazy CRZ Full Titanium Fairway Wood, this is the first full Ti fairway wood from CRAZY first revealed at the 2016 Japan Golf Fair at Tokyo Big Site last month. The new CRZ Ti-FW features a more shallow face profile and lower center of gravity to help the player get the ball up easier, the inner weighting produces low spin while the CG promotes a higher launch. The size head size is still somewhat compact for the better player, and the FW-Ti was just released this week in Japan available in a variety of lofts 15.5/18.5/21.5/24.5/27.5* from 3 wood to 11 wood that's right an 11 wood is available! Expect these in the TSG pro shop early next week.
  6. The FW's are very good and long not Ryoma long but pretty darn close. The Drivers on the other hand are not so hot, many of my friends in Japan try Roddio clubs and end up moving on in a short period of time except for the FW which they tend to hold on to longer. TSG doesn't sell these because we won't fix parts which Roddio requires, imo Roddio clubs are a pain due to hosel adapters preventing easy shaft changes, little screws & parts that get loose or fall off and there is no reason for them to have all these parts as they don't improve performance or fitting. Also the retail Roddio shafts are a bit meh because they are love or hate kinda thing. We do sell the shafts. TSG does a 45 day feedback email where we monitor customer satisfaction on various products, Roddio iron shafts do well but don't come close to OT or MCI's, the Roddio wood shafts are equals to TRPX which unfortunately don't last in the bag very long for many 60%ish satisfaction rating. Seven Dreamers has a 95% satisfaction rating! Basileus AAA is 90%! Fujikura EVO II is a very high 80+% as well! TRPX & other model Basileus shafts are only 60% after 45 days of ownership Crazy is a mixed bag, they have some models that are the 95% but others that are 65%.
  7. Right now A-Grind has a total of 3 drivers in their line up, the Classic 350, 440cc, and now the new Y-PROTO A-Grind Classic 350 - This driver is very small, it has a low trajectory and muted feel at impact. It's geared to the absolute golf purest who still loves the smaller shaped heads and those low shooting less forgiving drivers of past, TSG suggest it for the low handicap purest golfer. A-Grind 440 - This one is for most people from mid/high handicaps to even low handicap players it's 440cc with a deep face and low center of gravity combined with low spin, it's forged face feels very soft and the club features a mid/high trajectory. It's available in a light weight or heavy weight spec in 9.5 and 10.5 lofts. And now on to the new Y-PROTO... A-Grind Y-PROTO Driver - This new A-Grind driver is an interesting one it's 410cc's with a shallow face design and standard open face angle. It was designed with the input from JPGA player Yasuharu Konno who has 7 JPGA victories. The concept of this driver is easy to hit yet easy to shape shots, it's shallow face and optimal forward and mid CG location combined with strong lofts 9*/10* produce a piercing mid/high trajectory. While being 410cc's it has bigger footprint when looking down at it from address due to the flattening of the head to create a more shallow face it gives the appearance of forgiveness for more confidence to the player. The 9* comes standard with a 1* open face angle while the 10* features a 1.5* open face angle, head weight is 200g and with a 58.5* lie angle. TSG is offering these as heads only or you can get in touch with us via email [email protected] for a custom build with the best shafts & grips Japan has to offer.
  8. No badges or decals on any of these irons other than PP-9005 but sorry no that isnt an option nor is stamping changes.
  9. A-GRIND CMB Combo Irons - It's not often we see dedicated set of combo irons produced by a brand so kudo's to A-Grind for releasing the all new CMB series which is designed as a true combo set matching the the MB & CB in shape, size, and performance along with a dedicated driving iron to replace the your long irons for more forgiveness. Each of the 3 CMB products can be purchased ala carte as full sets irons ( non-combo ) but both A-Grind & TSG suggests #3/4 in the Driving Iron #5/6/7 in CB with #8/9/PW MB. Of course you can mix it up any way you want and I mean any way you can possibly think up given all the lofts they provide. Lofts, Lie, Head Weights, FP, all flow by design to make it a dedicated combo set. Forged of S25C in a brushed satin finish the MB iron is your traditional blade with a beautiful shape from all angles face, address, and back face. Again these are available as a full MB set 4-PW or in any make up you choose or a Combo set as we suggest. A-Grind calls this the HC or half cavity, we are going to call it the CMB Cavity Back Iron but it's a simple design that was made to flow effortlessly from the MB's short irons. Available in Combo make up as you desire or a full set of CB's consisting of 4-PW. The A-Grind CMB Driving Iron comes in many lofts #2/3/4/5/6! So in theory you can go from Driving Iron to MB or CB straight. MB at address, minimal offset, thin top line and great shape. Same goes for the CB but with a slightly thicker top line, sole, and just a smidge more offset. Into the Driving iron which isn't supposed to match perfectly but still flows well visually, it's designed all around making your long irons much easier to hit.
  10. It's not a bummer for you Nob-san because TSG will take care. email me and I will make sure of it.
  11. I dont think so because these headcovers are not going to be produced in time for the 435 black is what i was told.
  12. I dont like the name either or the yellow but these flat out perform. The ladies color theme looks good as well trying to get my wife to switch from PRGR to Honma BeZeal.
  13. I have a strong feeling that if I went all BeZeal I would shoot lower scores than my current gamers
  14. I wrote my full review in the blog but this driver has left me very surprised, completely different from what I thought would happen, I usually require low spin, low launch, heavier clubs but something with this one has got me more open to going lighter, higher and not necessarily needing low spin. This is a high launch with what they call optimal spin, they thickened the face behind the sweet spot, and added a new material to the lightweight shaft its my favorite Honma driver to date. Feels and sounds really good and the shape which I'm told was based on tour preference looks great as well. Again full review in blog.
  15. Yes they are the standard covers for all the new clubs and they are stunning!
  16. damn these look unreal! had no idea!
  17. i think thats an old weak yen price, email me i can knock some off for you no doubt.
  18. In no particular order: - Crazy Tour Wedge - Seven Wedge - Sky Dream Proto 115 - A-Grind - Buchi VS200 - Yururi Tataki - CGS Orion Type-S & Type G All of the above 100% handmade and forged in Japan.
  19. These irons have been around years unless im missing some new model and they dont look impressive at all to me. don't get the ooze quality thing either from DWD clubs. Both irons and wedges are made in Japan though, designed by not made by Tomaru. too much gooseneck with gaudy looks. these right: http://www.tourspecgolf.com/dance-with-dragon-forged-iron-5-pw
