Thank you for this feedback and Im happy things appear to be working, below your first shaft vs your second shaft: They designed the shafts very similar but increased the weight as you requested so the flex became a little weaker as you can see above. Also your first build should have a similar balance to your second, can you confirm thats the case as if not the shaft should not be the variable because they are both very similar with subtle tweaks for you.

Have not hit these yet and wont for a while probobly. These are available now but not many sets left. Standard finish is satin. Strong Lofts.

Is this a blade or cb? This is the latest MB from Toyoshima-san of Crazy Sports, well actually its been refinished in black boron with red paint fill by TSG Club Works to make it look extra special. The entire concept around this design is to produce a blade that has extra forgiveness by using somewhat of a cavity along with a slightly thicker sole than most blades have for a better balance of forgiveness and workability. Made with strong lofts and still a 1 piece S25C hand ground and forged in Japan the new Sbi-02 iron is limited edition with Crazy only producing a small amount every 2 months

I personally only suggest Combo if you dont mind playing 2 different sets of clubs. Yoro does a good job of matching lie/loft/specs/bounce/top line thickness, sole thickness as best as possible, this is what I would suggest. If not there are brands like Srixon and others that make their irons able to go Combo with minimal differences between models. With irons consistency is a big deal, you want to be able to rely that your #5 and #7 play in similar fashion.

most importantly is how are you hitting it?

This finish also known as DLC or diamond like finish is very hard feeling, sounding, and while durable it does scratch on putters or irons. it's also very glossy and reflective in sunlight. I've seen and hit this finish several times.

D10 or E0? I'm getting clarification on the thought process behind your shaft but do you mean D9?

Behind the Face

Check out the undercut nice and small, this looks like a good iron.

Yes Porsche is a killer on options. Sounds like you know what you want, Audi right? very nice car. Was not aware the Tesla was a slug mid to top end.

Yes Japan will be releasing these, looks like there is no tungsten so it's a green light!

716 T-MB can't be put in copper due to how it's made. Not sure if the MB version has tungsten in the toe or not, if so it will melt during the copper process.

White M6 grandcoupe is visually my pref. out of what you have listed. New E class is on the horizon and an E63 wagon would be my top choice IF out now. Personally Mercedes interiors are more intuitive and higher quality imo while BMW's have some things that make less sense, BMW you can get into custom coding certain options but you want to pay someone to do that for you. I'm irritated with BMW's functions but enjoy the way they handle. I like merc for fit/finish/functions. both are not the most reliable but these types of buyers trade up frequently. Fastest = Tesla P90D although the ride sucks the screen is nice and it's overplayed big time. Not the best choices in this segment right now, Porsche has a shooting brake on the horizon as well as a Panny update.

I believe it's actually the same mold from the 2011/2012 so other than slight adjustments shouldn't be all that different.

No chance of that guys, fun thought though :)

Still a rumor, one I have been hearing for a couple years but only now are the issues showing up in the supply chain. If a brand has paid for molds and needs to produce more heads to break even on the mold fee but can't it's a problem.

Yen rate is about 120 after fee's for currency exchange its about 16-17yen difference on the dollar. Yen is not the reason why the price is lower, they have considerably lowered the retail price by nearly half. **Update** I left out one vital change, Yamaha is not doing stock shafts for their driver, it's head price + upgrade shaft price which accounts for the lower retail price I initially thought. In the end it's a wash and they remain about the same.

Endo will leave the golf business in the near future. So far 2 big brands and 1 medium that manufacture woods there are telling me this and these are not small brands. The amount of new molds being produced has drastically gone down at Endo, brands are using their old molds and creating variants to buy them time while they work with new factories on new designs and when this happens the orders stop coming into Endo. The largest brands have already moved factories in the last 3-5 years.

To put things in perspective Yamaha drivers used to cost about US 700 bucks now they retail under 400. The irons and wedges have stayed about the same but they are pricing the woods very aggressively and since then I noticed a drop in the positive feedback from our clients about the woods.

No HC, this was early release. Brand new yes.

Here we have the 116 Forged and what's new is they have incorporated a slight curved undercut removing about 8g of weight and placing it in the sole. There is no mention of Yamaha incorporating the new annealing process into the non tour model version here. Below their more forgiving 216 Iron that has a high COR 0.80 maraging face where the last version had 0.77 The thinnest portion of it's sole is only 1mm which is pretty wild, great for distance not so sure how it will do for feel, the CG is very low they have removed 3g from the top line and repositioned it lower. The new Yamaha RMX 116 Wedge looks a bit odd but as most Yamaha wedges should work really well, I've always ranked Yamaha wedges pretty high yet something about them turns me off visually, I think I just have it more for botique wedges but we know that these will feel good, and spin well with a good amount of forgiveness as past generations have.
