  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. I believe it's actually the same mold from the 2011/2012 so other than slight adjustments shouldn't be all that different.
  4. No chance of that guys, fun thought though :)
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. The Yamaha RMX 116 Driver is 445cc's with a deep face and a more forward and high CG compared to the more forgiving 216 model. It features Yamaha's new dual resilient body what this means is as the ball impacts the face the tail of the driver compresses and decompresses with launch for 6.4yds average more distance. Yamaha RMX 216 Driver is for the player seeking more forgiveness and a higher trajectory. It's 460cc's and designed to be long and straight The new 2016 RMX Fairway Wood now has a cup face and a COR rating of 0.81 getting closer to the limit, it's a trend we will see more and more in fairways and in the future more UT's and Irons. They boast that this FW has the lowest CG point in Yamaha's history with 68g positioned very low. It also incorporates their popular fric off sole thats been around the past couple of models Yamaha's new RMX for 2016 supposedly has better rebound and shape with a thinn 455 stainless face and SUS630 SS body.
  11. Taniguchi has a new set of sticks in the bag, The new Yamaha 116 Tour Blades! more of the same but this year they are talking a lot about the annealing process to make a softer iron. 12% softer is what they claim. Progressive CG design starting low in the long irons and high in the short irons. More to come...
