There isn't really a standard ferrule size with so many types and different sizes on the market. Your clubmaker should be able to turn down the ferrule to fit and look good on your clubs.

Ryoma M3 TAKESHI'S TODOROKI BASE PUTTER
TourSpecGolfer replied to Steven Lam's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
Congratulations it's a great putter and this one is a rare one! -
Daido in Nagoya is the one you want for sure. DAT55 is now offered by factories in Taiwan & China.

The original 7CB in S15C is no longer being made but the two are close in size, both very small for a CB. Seven for sure is more forgiving and feels softer at impact in both S15C and SS400. Only 20 sets were made of the S15CB and 20 sets of the SS400. There are about 5 different prototypes pre 7CB and post that we sell to those who ask, these are real prototypes with actual differences not the same clubs stamped proto. A new 7CB is coming out soon slightly larger, softer and more forgiving.

New Miura Passing Point Neo Utility clubs
TourSpecGolfer replied to Shaotai's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
I'm sorry your post was removed because it was your very first post breaking the rules by posting to a live ebay auction. Anyway looked up your details and it's all good, so for this UT, Miura using other manufacturers is nothing new, they have done this for putters and all woods in the past and Irons are also rarely done from start to finish in house now days. Everything looks good about it until the sole, I like the shape, face profile but its branding is a bit too cheesy for me and I was never a fan of the performance of any of their previous woods. 1 piece forged irons are what they do best, the verdict is still out on the PP-9005's that accompany these. -
Sorry allow me to clarify, we all want "G" DAT55G we can't forget the G. From Japan. Many factories are now offering DAT55 that is not made in Japan. Many Japanese brands use these companies to make drivers so.. The best G comes out of Nagoya Japan. Hopefully people confuse "DAT55" like now days 80T is spoken about.

JBEAM 435 Black Out Driver In Hand Pics!
TourSpecGolfer replied to TourSpecGolfer's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
Yes you should always give a new club time. I don't count anything out until like 3-5 rounds and at least 2 range sessions. Finding out why you don't hit something well has value. Blackout or ZY11 are both low spin, many consider them mid or some even say a low trajectory, with a 7D shaft it gets lower as the shaft helps get rid of energy loss in the trajectory or arc so all of these things combined create what your describing. We want that 2500rpm 13-14* launch and I've seen a lot of people who can't get close to those numbers actually hit or get near them with Jbeam + 7D combos especially those in need of lowering spin. So give it some time, see if there is any small adjustment you need to do to catch it more on the upswing to launch it higher. Let us know how it works out. -
Miura PP-9005 Passing Point Irons
TourSpecGolfer replied to TourSpecGolfer's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
I like a lot about it except for the sticker badge thing. Its made in Japan, maybe not fully by Miura but what I like is it does have some forgivenss and distance with the SUP face and 2 piece under cut cavity structure, I also like they use S25C but most of all I like how small it is for a head that has much stuff in it: It's still pretty compact. -
blade choices of recent times ............
TourSpecGolfer replied to supo's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
Yes a few years back they made a CB by zodia & miura that quickly sold. I think this Miura version is based on the shape of the Type D & F Y-Grinds just released recently. -

The head and design itself is the new Zodia MB. Roddio commissioned 100 sets from Zodia and 100 from Miura. We have both right now. Gonna hold onto these for a little bit and will post pics of the Zodia version shortly. -

Miura PP-9005 Passing Point Irons
TourSpecGolfer replied to TourSpecGolfer's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs

Aloha! What matters most is how you hit it, the advice of others comes with so many variables. I would assume that it won't be as straight or low spin as your crank, it's a higher launching head for sure and shafts with an active tip play much more so due to the shallow hosel depth, this can lead to a wider dispersion as well as more distance. Finding the right shaft is important for this club. Also I find people with a smoother swing tend to get the best results with it and aggressive swings need to tip or find very tip stiff shafts. Much depends on how your swing melds with this combo.

Coming this month to the TSG Pro Shop the all new Miura Giken Passing Point PP-9005 Forged Cavity Irons, labelled NEO this time it's a big departure from how Miura irons have been made in the past, This is the first multipiece design I can remember from Miura that has a Forged S25C body that is separate from the face which is a J.I.S SUP-10 Steel. The PP-9005 also comes with a deep undercut cavity lowering the center of gravity and also allowing Miura to gain more head size without gaining as much head weight which equals the more forgiving Miura everyone has been asking for. Miura Giken also has a new finish that uses a separate surface treatment called Accurise Coat which is supposed to reduce friction during turf contact. On top of this they also feature a full copper underlayer for an even softer feel. While this undercut/badge/2 piece iron is new to Miura it also brings in a more modern look like the inside of the cavity which features a carbon style badge that gives it some extra edgeyness but at the same time that comes off looking a little cheap to some.. what has remained is Miura's commitment to minimal offset, a beautiful shape, geared toward the better player and in in the case of the new Passing Point Neo PP-9005 that is no different. In hand photos are and course reviews are just a week or two away.

Yururi Satin TATAKI by Okamura
TourSpecGolfer replied to TourSpecGolfer's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
There is a fun story of a tall loud and handsome Aussie that randomly met the owner of Yururi Miyoshi-san. This Aussie then kept feeding Miyoshi-san beers until he was ready to fold... I wonder who that guy was? -
A-Grind is releasing a new 440cc players wood it comes standard with open face and a forged cup face. They are producing light and heavy weight versions and speaking with Ako-san he has confirmed it's much more forgiving and softer than the A-Grind Classic Driver.

Question about raw wedges durability
TourSpecGolfer replied to Cforselius's topic in Japanese Golf Clubs
So a lot of people think Raw equals softer which is not always the case. It depends on who did the satin finish as they vary in qualities like feel and durability and look. I have tested identical wedges from Seven and other brands in many finishes and raw is not the only or even the biggest determining factor in feel. Hit the new Gekku smooth satin vs the original gekku and you will see the satin is actually softer, gekku is soft but just different. with wedges softest is not always the best as when we test spin rates there is a fine balance of firmness for spin and softness to allow the material to grab the ball.. difference is minimal in rpms but there is one. I think Cforselius is also considering the gekku's due to the Grain look which is a major appeal to the gekku. -
So Modart vs A-Grind... Having had both with for quite some time in the same loft 14* I'm comfortable with these observations. The Modart has a firmer tink feel while the A-Grind is softer more spongy metal. Distance the two are equals Forgiveness, what is strange is for me the Modart goes straighter on the same miss-hits. Trajectory is the A-Grind is higher I would say mid/high while the modart is more mid, this is interesting as well because the Modart has the more shallow face. Gotta add turf interaction I give this to the modart as well both the FW and UT make clean contact unlike any other woods i've seen. appearance, A-Grind's shape, size and matte crown are perfect while the Modart is still sexy and more compact than the AG I give it to the AG on appearance but only by a slight margin if the Modart were matte not sure if this would still be the case. For feel, looks, and trajectory I go A-Grind For ease of use, size, dispersion I go Modart Best for my score & what gives me confidence is without a doubt Modart + FW80.
